f1 driver!min yoongi x mechanic!reader romance + fluff + a little angst + smut warnings: a bunch of formula one talk and technical terms, some of which might not be too accurate + yoongi is jealous at one point + unprotected sex + dirty talk, a little + oral f receiving wc:13.9k
➔many of the drivers had good relationships with their engineers, and although it was known that your relationship with Yoongi wasn’t the tightest, there was also something special about a mechanic/driver relationship.
— thank you to the lovely @chateautae for beta reading this <333
a/n: i have tunnel vision and tbh all i talk about these days is formula one, so it’s only a matter of time before i write a fic for every bts member lol. i even came up with who would be in which team,, i need help. also god bless the bts x formula e collab. also absolutely no slander meant towards lewis or mercedes, they had to take the hit this fic. if you recognise which iconic radio message inspired the name of the fic, you need to be my friend. period.
“All he needed was for someone to knock some sense into him, and of course it had to be you”
I can not put into words how much I love this fic! I was so engrossed the whole time and it just keeps on building until that explosive ending! I feel like I was there watching the race live (and believe me I am not even into F1 but I wanted to cheer and scream too). It’s exhilarating how the tension was built oh so right with Yoongi’s career/future on the line and this tension concerning the future of Yoongi and OC’s ‘relationship’ considering all other factors. I don’t think it’s easy to build tension like that while maintaining this realism too with all the technical stuff about racing.
I didn’t even know what to expect because I am not into formula one but sometimes you get a racing scenario and you get that shiny, polished appearance of racing. So reading all the details – like car regulations, contract renewals, pole (whatever that is ) and such - I actually enjoyed ALL OF IT because it made the characters’ jobs seemed real, dangerous, etc. I badly felt Yoongi’s pressure to do well and these parts when OC and Yoongi were fighting, I felt anxious too because Yoongi man? Please do well because we don’t want you jobless, okay?
I love that shout out to OC being in this career, which is a bit rare for women. But it also played a part in one of the conflicts of the story. I was ready to expect angst because the star-crossed lovers scenario felt like there weren’t any options left. But oh that resolution did not disappoint. I cheered and rooted for Yoongi so hard (like please, please let him win) but I rooted for YN (OC) and him so much more. I love this so much - everything from the details, the writing, the relationship between the two characters, the world of racing, and the conflicts (oh thank you for ending it beautifully). I don’t think I’d be so engrossed in a very detailed F1 racing fic but here I am with my heart still beating fast as if I just watched a competition.
some say fate manifests itself in odd ways, could yours be the ‘help needed’ poster in a bookstore window?

It truly was a miracle how your landlord hadn’t kicked you and your roommate out of your apartment yet. Perhaps he felt sympathy for the two of you, fresh out of college and living off of takeaway food while figuring out what to do with your lives. Whatever it was, you were grateful for the extra week he had given the both of you to hand in your rent.

I am not technically back to being active but this fic has been on my mind for days. I meant to do a reaction when this was posted (but then I realize it’s been almost 5 months ever since lol ). Why was I thinking of this scenario? I was just recalling fics with a tsundere!jungkook and lately I’ve been into bookshops aesthetics. Plus the slight enemies to lovers beginnings that led to some puzzling scenes between them? Then some Pride and Prejudice reference? Oh yes, sign me up. I am a sucker for these things (like you can not bring the words tsundere + e2l vibes + books and not sprinkle in some P&P!). So thank you for doing this oh so right!
I love how this story was just one big ball of curiosity for me. I was wondering all throughout what’s up with Jungkook even during those moments when everything was okay between them. He’s like hot and cold but when he’s warm enough, nothing seems to move forward? I also wondered why it was titled "kismet” when the whole circumstances between them weren’t really so fate-like-magical? I actually thought it was going to be just this slow burnish day in the life of a bookshop owner and his employee but my oh my, when that lil twist in the story came out - I think I squealed a bit? I just love it when a story surprises me or when it takes a different turn and gives so much more than what I expected. That was really good especially when things came to a head and Jungkook had no choice but to answer all my questions as listed above (lol). Wonderful beginning with a “reveal” that exceeded my expectations. Good job, dear author!
Every time he gloats over you, you just want to punch him in the face to shut him up. With your fist or maybe with your mouth. You still aren’t quite sure which one to use yet. Possibly both.

Lieutenant Min Yoongi had stationed himself at his desk for three hours already, starting from when he came in at six a.m. sharp, and practically inhaled the coffee he had bought from the quaint hole in the wall cafe near his apartment. Despite already downing the largest cup he could order from the shop, he no longer felt the effects of the extra shots of expresso and was forced to drink the watered-down version offered at his workplace. With more caffeine than actual rivulets of carmine running through his veins, Yoongi practically fuels his sleep deprived body with lethal doses of the stale and caustic coffee provided at the Bangtan Police Station.
The crisp sheets of paper from the latest case file he is examining are spread out across his desk in somewhat of a disarray, the original order he had put it in four hours ago now long gone, as he continuously rifles around for certain tidbits of information that can piece the solution together. Picking up what is now his third cup of coffee, he mumbles a variation of curses under his breath when he sees that he had been using the case’s manila folder as a coaster, glaring disdainfully at the blatant brown ring staining the front of the file. He is beginning to lose feeling in his backside, and his mind toys with the thought of taking a nap in one of the cots set up in the backroom. Yet, he cannot take his eyes away from the evidence laid out in front of him; the solution is right there—he can feel it beneath his fingertips as he trails them across the ridged papers and the dark ink.
Three rapid knocks are heard against the glass of his office door, and Yoongi looks up to see Hoseok—his second-in-command sergeant and long-time police partner—enter the room, nervously biting his lower lip. A deeper crease forms between his furrowed eyebrows as Yoongi takes one glance at the worried and tense expression adorning Hoseok’s ordinarily cheery face. He finally speaks up, his voice cracking slightly from disuse. “What is it, Hoseok?”
“Organized Crime sent their sergeant here to work on that case with you.” Hoseok gestures towards the opened file. “Apparently, it’s connected to a string of gang induced murders they’ve been tracking, and—”
“Oh, fuck, no.” Yoongi interrupts, rubbing his temples as he closes his eyes. “Please don’t tell me it’s—”
“Guess I’m stuck with you again. I’d say it’s a pleasure to work with you again, but it really isn’t, so let’s just cut the crap and get straight to it, pretty boy.”
“But most of all, Yoongi hates your stupid face with that stupid smile that still somehow makes his heart speed up at the most inconvenient times. ”
Ugh I melt. Seriously this whole universe should have been a sitcom or TV series. We need all the weirdest, craziest, and funniest scenarios these Bangtan Police have been into. I really love a good rivals + office themed fic plus it’s so funny too. I was just genuinely smiling all throughout and laughing at some of their lines (I think I laughed the most when Hoseok was being nosy in the last scene).
I melt over the little kids on a field trip, Holly being all squishy, the very important scene about Yoongi’s booty, and basically the whole Bangtan Police being this cute and adorable I don’t think Yoongi will seriously get mad at them (especially you, Taehyung. You’re godsend with your ridiculous handcuffs prank). But most of all, I melt over Yoongi and THATscene. Surprise, surprise. I always love a good twist.
Oh what a good way to end the rivalry but I also want these two to…like, bicker forever lol. This got me craving for something sweet and I think I’ll get myself doughnuts in the morning because I am already starting to miss the whole bangtan police gang
Flirting is not the best strategy to fall towards when you might be arrested. It may have to be your last resort if needed, but you have not reached that point of desperation. Well, not yet at least. But god damn, he looks like he would be a good kisser.
pairing: jung hoseok x reader genre: fluff type: enemies to lovers + police au word count: 9,202 words warnings: none author’s note: i hope the fbi doesn’t come after me for my questionable google searches for research. i understand there are proper police procedures, like not letting the witness go until the full statement is taken, and that abetting crime is an offense, but for the sake of this fic, please disregard that one bit.
Something in my drafts for so long so I enjoyed reading this again. There’s just something charming and endearing about Bangtan Police that seemed like an episode taken from B-99.I will always think of the boys if they got their daily dose of doughnuts, if Jimin is still heartbroken, and if Lt. Yoongi is still okay running the precinct. My favorite part is that plot twist of Hoseok’s past and how it makes one realize that OC and Hoseok are perfect for each other. Fun, what a fun read
“I don’t think I’ll ever find someone.” Y/N complained to Tom as they laid on his bed, watching a random movie. She had just gone through her first heartbreak, and Tom hated seeing her like this. He wished he could do something to help.
“You will, it just takes time. No one marries their first love anyway.” He told her. He knew this would be true, because she was his first love, and there was no way he could trick her into marrying him.
