The Thin Line Between

[Dropped] The Best of ChanKai

AKA the fic everyone recommenced and wanted me to add to this list. 

Author: maayacola

Rating: NC-17

Summary: Chanyeol just wants Jongin to like him. Jongin isn't having any of that .

-For people on this rec page that haven't read this fic  so no one, this fic has soulmate elements. This is canon exo with chankai being soulamtes. Can I get a Waluigi? Wah~

-I love this author. Sometimes I find myself lying awake not really at night wondering what beautiful exo fics this author could've written if they were still in the fandom. They retired in 2012 and people are still flipping tables over their stuff. They were extremely talented. One of the best fanfic writers I've ever come across. 

-If any other person wrote this fic, then Jongin probably would've been the character everyone hated. However, this author knows their and even though Jongin did things that should've made me hate him I couldn't because he was too human/relatable with his way of seeing the world. 

-So Tupperware is a thing in this fic. So are those long text emoji things. They fit Baekhyun and Kris exceptionally well. 

-Something I enjoy about this fic is how the author includes the . I'm all for straight-up with and flying everywhere, BUT in certain stories; having important character development followed by pure pwp is off-putting. Some authors dive too deep into the canals of when they were just writing things that had nothing to do with ing. What I'm trying to say is, is that the gentle maayacola uses doesn't up the flow/tone of the fic. You know it happens, you can appreciate Jongin and Chanyeol in all its glory, but it is not too much. It does not disrupt the story; it adds to it.

-And yeah. This fic is great. I actually read it more than once. Huzzah.

Chapter 12: There's another one like this too, only Chanyeol is the one who reads the fanfic... Can't remember what it's called though. The ending of this story was really smart.

Chapter 10: My favorite kaiyeol... is FootFalls (http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/543420/footfalls-angst-oneshot--kai-chanyeol-chankai-kaiyeol) and my second is Thin Line Between (http://maayacola.livejournal.com/62484.html). The first one makes me cry every time I read it, it's odd can I can picture the story like it's reality.

Chapter 10: I love this fic... It is really odd that I don't really have a bias or a ship in EXO. But I really like Chankai fics, mostly for the way authors portray their personalities. One's too loud, the other too quiet... it's just the right relationship balance.

/crying because I found this
Chankai is my guilty pleasure of an OTP and I can never find good fanfics of them. I haven't read anything on this list yet and I'm really excited and I'm really excited that others are already suggeting more!! Bless all of you Chankai fans, I've been searching for you ;-;
I definitely recommend My Neighbor Monggu. The Thin Line Between is good too (it had, like, one thing in it I didn't like lol)
I haven't read it yet, but there is a fic called "When the Wolves Cry" here on AFF that is supposed to be Chankai. I have it bookmarked for a time when I have time to read.

Like I said, I haven't read it, so I don't know how good it is, but I figure I can pass it along.
Also I really love Plus Baby by jongmal- http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/713112/plus-baby-mpreg-exo-kai-chanyeol-jongin-chankai
It's mpreg and very angsty, but I found it hard to stop reading and you really hate Chanyeol, but you really want them to be happy. It gives me a lot of feels. I hope you'll like it.
I have more I can rec to you if you need. Sorry to be leaving such a long comment ^^; I'm really so happy
