Fanfic Recommendations (My Favourites):

(You seriously don't know what you're missing by not reading them!!)

 

Golden Cherry Blossoms [COMPLETED] by AlbinoPeacock (A beautifully written, angsty, HunHan fanfic in which Luhan is paid to ravish and fulfill the desires of the patrons of the Vermillion House, and Sehun tries desperately to cling to the fantasy that awaits him every Wednesday... the only escape from his reality ~ it's a real tearjerker, this one is! But it's a beautiful work of art.)

 

Be Loved (IWTMYFB) [COMPLETED] by vampyreunnie (A HunHan-LuKai fanfic in which Luhan lives each day with a heavy heart, despite a lavish life as the glorified househusband to his ambitious boyfriend, Jongin; and Sehun, an old highschool friend of Jongin, is a charismatic artist with a heart of gold who is determined to show Luhan he is more than Jongin has made him out to be.)

Revolution [COMPLETED] by purpleskies (If you are an Exotic, and HunHan (as well as KaiSoo, BaekYeol, Taoris, SuChen) fan, then you MUST read this masterpiece. The plot is SO good. It's ingenious. It has a nice mix of angst, drama, and action packed into one story.)  

Basorexia by sunbites (A HunHan-SeKai, soap opera styled fanfic filled with a generous helping of melodrama and infidelity, where Sehun and Luhan are in a "committed" relationship and Luhan is the stay-at-home boyfriend to his adoring architect boyfriend, while Jongin is the other man in their relationship without strings attached; or so he claims. ~ It's very engaging and evokes strong emotions... like a soap opera does. ^_^)

Everyone Experiments in College by heegdtop2min (A HunHan, TaoRis, & Kai fanfic filled with profanity, ual references, and lewd HUMOUR. ~ This is honestly the funniest thing I've ever read! It is HILARIOUS. Each chapter is just as great as the last.)

The Art of Holding On (1/2); The Art of Holding On (2/2) [COMPLETED] by ai-chan1399 (An angsty HunHan two-shot in which Luhan suffers from an early on-set of Alzheimer's and Sehun feels he's losing him. ~ It's quite heartbreaking, but overall a touching story. Well written too!)

Game [COMPLETED] by Mayumijade (An angsty LuKai fanfic set in the Victorian era about a forbidden love between Kai and his personal servant; a poor boy, by the name of Luhan, taken in by Lady Kim. ~ It has a solid plot, well developed storyline, characters, and relationships. It's SO good.)

Sundowning (1/2); Sundowning (2/2) [COMPLETED] by quirke (A TaeLli two-shot in which Jinri (Sulli) is a rising starlette, Taemin and Jinri are a "couple" in the eyes of the public, and Taemin struggles with his feelings for the girl who strings him along in her uncompromising ambition to be a renowned actress. Little does he know, her foul mood swings and exhausted mental state have less to do with her ambitions, and more to do with the secret she keeps locked in her heart. ~ The storyline is well thought out and structured such that the story pieces together PERFECTLY. It's an amazing piece of writing)

The Secret Language of Love [COMPLETED] by ladiiAJxoxo (A TaeLli fanfic in which Taemin is the orphaned, servent boy, hired to work for the Choi household, and Sulli falls helplessly in love with the sweet and gentle, good natured boy who proves to her that unadulterated love does exist. ~ This one leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy inside as their love story is pure and filled with innocence.)

1.4.3 by OnceUponATaem (A TaeLli fanfic - Taemin and Sulli reprise their "real" selves in this fanfic as they struggle with stardom as young idols. Nemo has tried to incorporate reality into this fanfic by including actual scheduled activities and tapings.)

-------------------------------------------

Current Obsessions:

*Huang Zi Tao (Tao) <33 - Freakin Huang ZiTao... this boy has done it. He has successfully moved to the top of my bias list to a shared position next to Luhan (No one can completely dethrone Luhan from his secured #1 spot). And to think, aside from the teasers, the first time I saw EXO-M was when they guested for an interview on Yin Yue Tai. My first impression of the boy wasn't so great. He came off cold, nonchalant, and intense with his strong gaze. He was a man of few words, but then he started crying at the thought of EXO-K and I was like, 'huh'? o_O That's not the same boy I was just watching. haha. XD I was fooled by his tough exterior, when in fact, he is a sensitive boy with a soft heart. It wasn't until the EXO-M Happy Camp episode aired that he really secured his position in my heart. This boy has grown so much from his debut days. Long gone is the shy, awkward child who was too honest for his own good. (Mind you, he still tells it like it is and has no filter XD But it is his transparency that makes him special. I LOVE that he always shows his true self and is not afraid of what others might think of him. <3333) Now, he exudes confidence -bordering arrogance XP, and has cool swagger with his stage performances. He is able to make friends wherever he goes - Just take his life in Korea for example. Despite a lack of proficiency in the Korean language his hyungs and sunbaes seem to fawn over him and it really is because Tao uses a sincere heart to interact with everyone he comes into contact with. ;~;  I'm so proud of the person he is and proud of the growth in him. <33 Yes, Taozi can be loud and obnoxious at times. He quite often crosses the line between being playful and being rude and offensive, but I can't fault him for his naivety because I know he's not doing it intentionally (It's part of his charm :P). In fact, he has such a good, beautiful heart, in spite of his mischievous and childish nature. He is compassionate and is always willing to lend a helping hand.  <3 This AB style, kungfu panda has made a special place in my heart. I can't get enough of this boy! I Love him so much!! My wonderful boy, Huang ZiTao <33333

*Lu Han <33 - The picture of PERFECTION! I may have never seen an angel before, but I'm pretty sure he comes close to one - and not just physically, but in every aspect. He is a good person with a big heart, first and foremost. He's the kind of person who will stand by you and have your back. You can always count on him to be there for you; one of those true friends everyone wishes to have. What is truly remarkable is his personality matches his outer appearance perfectly. This baby-faced boy can be extremely shy at times but he's always playful. Luhan is sweet, kind-hearted, well mannered/polite, filial, and always humble and modest. He's just a lovable person who is simply too cute for words. Seriously, there are not enough words in the English vocabulary to describe how cute this boy is. XP My first ever EXO bias... :'( It breaks my heart to think I'm never going to see him with his 11 members again. Thank you, Luhan, for all the wonderful, beautiful memories you've created with EXO-L and your members. I'll cherish them forever. I know the person he is and he will always have my love and full support. Luhan must do what he feels is right. I don't know what his future endeavours will be, but whatever he tries his hand at next, whichever identity he greets us with, Luhan, Xiao Lu... JIA YOU! I know you'll succeed! <3   

*Zhang Yi Xing (Lay) <3 - This boy works SO hard. I feel like he works harder than anyone and gets taken for granted at times, and that makes me sad... :( To be honest, he's always doing things that make me want to cry or bring tears to my eyes. (He may not be my #1 bias in EXO, but he gives me special feelings that Luhan and Tao do not. :P) I get so emotional with him and I really think it's because he is an angel in disguise. I mean, he has to be for someone to have as pure and kind a heart as this selfless boy who's constantly thinking of others before himself. Any positive adjective can be used to describe YiXing because that's who he is; a polite, humble, hardworking, kind, gentle, sweet, considerate, filial boy with the purest of hearts. I don't think there is a celebrity out there that can compare. He's truly special. I'm SO grateful to know that a guy like this actually exists in this world. YiXing is always appreciative of the opportunities he's be given and never takes anything for granted; especially the fans. He shows us every chance he gets how much he appreciates our love. The problem is he works himself so hard to improve (as his 150% never seems to be enough) that he disregards his health which is why I'm constantly worrying about him. 

*EXO <33 - They all have very good chemistry together, whether it be within their respective sub-groups, or as a whole group... they are all shipable with each other. ^_^ No wonder there are so many EXO ships, haha. And you can never think of EXO's ships without thinking of ALL 12 boys. You just can't. I like every possible pairing in this group - all 66. (But some more than others, of course. ^_^). And they ALL exist. If I had to rank my ships/favourite pairings/OT3s, then it'd be 1).HunHan♥♥, 2).KrisYeol♥♥, 2.5).LuTao♥ (My 5-year old babies... They're exactly like your kid brothers who love to bicker/fight with each other any chance they get. I LOVE it. <3333), BaekTao♥ (They have an intense love/hate relationship. XD), China-Line♥ (Luhan, Lay, Tao, Kris), SuTao♥ (Taozi & his beloved mama, Joonma <33), 3).Kray, LuLay (To me, they are the ideal bff angels combo. BFF's for life.), Maknae Line (TaoHun-the bratty & mischievous, bff maknae duo), TaoKai, TaoSoo, 4).TaoXing, SeKaiTao, BaekXing, ISC-OT6 (Luhan, Sehun, Tao, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, Suho), KaiBaek, BaekSoo, BaekChen, 5).HanSoo, ChanLu, HunSoo, BaekHan, SeYeol, SuHun, ChenSoo, 6).KaiXing, LuKai, TaoRis (They remind me of the big-little brother pairing), KaiSoo, Leader Line (KrisHo), 7).Lu-OT4 (lol), Tao-OT4 (hehehe), Baek-OT6 (hahahaha), 8).The remaining pairings in no particular order. :D

*LuHan & SeHun - HunHan. They need no introduction. My first ever guy-guy OTP. The pairing that got me into EXO. :''''(((( I can't think of them without tearing up. Will there ever be a day where HunHan fans can see these two together again? Luhan always took on the role of doting hyung (despite acting 5, about 95% of the time. XP) when around the mischievous maknae. All it took was one look at these two cuties together and I would melt because I had never seen someone cling onto someone as much as Sehunnie did to Luhan during the MAMA era. It's beyond precious. ;A; But despite Sehun growing up and no longer needing his beloved hyung as much as he use to, the affection would always be there when the were together. That will never change. And I truly hope it never does. Epecially now that they'll permanently be a country apart. :''""((

*Tao & Baekhyun - BaekTao. A cat and dog right here. These two have the craziest love-hate relationship I've ever scene in the K-pop scene. XD One minute they'll be embracing each other and the next they'll be hitting each other. Yet, despite fighting a good 80% of the time when they're together, they can't seem to stay apart. And I'm convinced it's because they're secretly obsessed with each other. lol. Honestly, though, Baekhyun has a particular adoration and fondness for this giant baby. Taozi can be a handful at times and often acts quite childish, but there's just something so endearing about him and I think it's something Baekhyun can't help but find charming. Of all the members in EXO, Tao is the only one he's the most attentive to; whether it be to feed him or scold him. lol. And I really think the reason Taozi "puts up with" Baek's constant teasing is because he entertains him, makes him laugh, but most importantly, because Baek takes care of him and looks out for him. They have one twisted relationship but I LOVE it sooooooooo much! XD    

*Luhan & Tao - TaoHan/LuTao. What more can be said about these two 5-year olds that can't be said by their "playful" interactions. It's like watching your kid brothers. XD These two kids will not let any opportunity pass to bicker/spar with each other. And despite their bantering, you know they are one of each other's favourite people. And that's what makes it hurt so much more to think I'll never see my beloved TaoHan together again. My EXO biases. :'''''''((( Brothers for life.

*Tao & Suho - SuTao. Whenever I see these two together, my heart grows warm and I start smiling. A mother and son combo... there really is no better way to describe them. When Taozi first revealed his nickname for Junmyeon, I thought he was drunk off his (I think everyone felt the same way. He was on something that night, that's for sure. lol.XD) but then we see the way Junmyeon cares for him and how reliant he is of Junmyeon and the name "Mama" doesn't seem out of place. Despite Taozi's antics and brattiness at times, he is simply a sensitive child that needs to be cared for and feel loved. Lucky for him, Junmyeon is someone who is naturally a good caretaker and a kind man, so it's no surprise he happily volunteers to be the "Mother" he needs. Personally, I really think Suho feels honoured to be the person Taozi leans on for support because he knows that this child genuinely loves and trusts him. Their relationship is a special one. <3333 

*Kris & Chanyeol - KrisYeol. Before Puppyeol came along, I didn't really have any particular good feelings towards Kris, to be quite frank. He seemed too serious and unapproachable more often than not. I didn't think he was capable of showing another side to him. Then comes Chanyeol and he brings out a softer, more warm and playful Kris to the surface. And we get to see his genuine laughter and smiles, and its heartwarming. Chanyeol has such an infectious, loveable personality. And he is so playful, but unlike his interactions with the rest of the members, with Kris... I don't know, it's just different. It may be because Kris dotes on Chanyeol and in return, Chanyeol listens to him and likes to stick to him; kind of like how a puppy does with his owner. hehe XP They play so well together and Kris instantly transforms into BenBen around Chanyeol. My lovely Dumb and Dumber <3333 It pains me to think I'll never see their interactions again. :'( No matter what the future holds for EXO and Kris, Krisyeol will always be remembered as my 2nd fave EXO OTP. 

*EXO's China-Line [Lu Han, Huang ZiTao (Tao), Zhang YiXing (Lay), Wu YiFan (Kris)]

*f(x) - I'm SO happy the girls are finally getting the recognition they deserve!!!!

*G-Dragon - GD is a musical genius; he's brilliant. And despite garnering recognition and praise for his talents, he still remains so modest, humble, polite (respecful - I never tire of seeing his 90 degree bows), and kind. Those qualities are SO attractive to me. I love that he is simply adorable with his loveable bright smiles and his charming and charismatic personality. I just love him. <33

*G-Dragon & HyunSeung - Actually, not only with Jiyong as I like him with the other BB members too (particularly with Youngbae & Seunghyun[TOP]), just especially with Jiyong. Hehe. XP It's heartwarming to see how close they remained after several years apart. Despite not being able to debut together, Jiyong still looks out for him, gives him advice so he can become a better performer, and they mutally support each other. That's what I call true friendship. <3 Their interactions are so bloody adorable. You can feel the love. ^^ Jiyong did dote on HyunSeung in particular, back in their trainee days.

Favourite Artists:

*EXO - How is it possible for there to be 12 10 boys with such perfect rapport? The friendships formed between these boys are so precious and beautiful... it's one of the things I love most about this group; that and the fact that it's comprised of talented dancers and singers whom are ridiculously cute! Luhan♥, the playful, but kind, doe-eyed, shy angel is my #1 bias  My giant baby Taozi♥ is my #1 bias of the 12 10, but after him I can't seem to figure out who I adore more. ^_^ They are each lovable for different reasons and hence why my bias list is never fixed!! OT12 <3 OT10 <3. If I had to make a bias list, then currently, my OT12 OT10 list would look something like this: 1).Luhan♥, Tao♥, 1.25).Lay♥, 2).Chen, Baekhyun, D.O, 2.25).Chanyeol, 2.5).Sehun, Suho, Kris, Kai, 3).XiuMin. And within each subgroup, for EXO-M: 1).Luhan, Tao,1.5).Lay, 2).Chen, 2.5).Kris, 3).Xiumin. For EXO-K: 1).Baekhyun, D.O, 1.25).Chanyeol, 1.5).Sehun, Suho, Kai

*f(x) - Partial to Sulli and Amber (Sulli is SO cute and just the prettiest little thing. She has grown into such a stunning young lady and I can't help but marvel at her doll-like beauty. XD As for Amber, she's simply amazing -cute, down to earth, friendly, nice, upbeat, outgoing, and dorky. XP You couldn't not love her even if you tried.), but I love all the members!! (If I had to, I suppose my bias list would go something like...: 1).Sulli & Amber, 2).Luna, 3).Krystal, 4).Victoria) I like that their music is distinct (They don't conform to the typical girl group style. Thank goodness!!) and unique/'colourful' in a way, and the girls are versatile and able to adapt to different styles of choreography. Plus, the members are bubbly and naturally cute without trying; not to mention every single one of them is gorgeous. They are TRUE beauties. :D

*SHINee -The amazingly talented, wonderful, and precious SHINee. I truly love love LOVE all the boys, but I just can't help being a little biased towards cutie pie-Taemin♥; & Jonghyun... & also Onew♥; + Key XP... and maybe Minho too. XD Yeah, I know that's not really having a bias (although Taeminnie is definitely my ultimate bias in SHINee), it's just that I love each of the boys for different reasons. I really do. <3 (I guess you can guess my bias list. But Jjong and Onew are tied at 2nd, and Key and Minho at 3rd. :P)

*Big Bang - They are true artists who always strive for perfection! They give you a PERFORMANCE every single time as if it were their last. It's impressive! The always charming cutie, G-Dragon♥, is clearly my bias but they're all too lovable not to have a soft spot for the others as well! In particular, Daesung♥ who is absolutely adorable and just a big bundle of joy!!! :D Despite their stage personas, they're actually really nice, humble (especially GD, and maybe with the exception of Seungri, lol. XD), and SUPER funny guys. That's what drew me in. :)

*Super Junior & Super Junior-M - The group that introduced me to the K-Pop world and got me into the craze. They are by far the most entertaining KPop group out there. The kings of variety, they most certainly are! ^_^ Kyuhyun♥, that evil maknae is my SJ bias but I honestly love all 15 of them. How can I not?! It's Super Junior! - Fave bromances': HanChul, SiHan, & HanKyu. [Despite Hangeng no longer active in the group, their friendships continue and their memories live on]

My Ultimate OTPs:

* Key & Amber

I ADORE their close friendship <33 Key is really good to her! <3

* Taemin & Sulli

These two cuties... how perfect, right? <33
