do you think you’ll leave me after all?bybrightlight – post-breakup au SPOILER it ends happily:) i don’t usually love like sad breakup stories but i love this one sm
MMATB?byfitzgarbage – “marry me at taco bell?” basically taekook fake engagement so they can get married at taco bell and you can guess what happens next. it’s so good and so funny it makes me smile a lot
an intern of all peoplebyfitzgarbage – office au as you probs guessed! I rlly love this one

selcouth, 109.7k, taekook
taekook fic rec!
➵ Summary: Back when they were in high school, Taehyung and Jeongguk’s grandparents made a pact. Taehyung just wishes that it didn’t force him to marry his rival.
selcouth (adj): unfamiliar, rare, strange — and yet, marvelous
➵ tags: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, model taehyung, photographer jungkook, sexual tension, light angst, pranks, humor, way too many marvel references
selcouth - Chapter 1 - autumnstae - 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS [Archive of Our Own]
holding on tight (sleeping at night), 2.2k
— taekook fic rec !! :D
— tooth rotting fluff
— taehyung pulls a tiktok prank on jungkook where he has to say ‘i just need a hug’
holding on tight (sleeping at night) - autumnstae - 방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS [Archive of Our Own]
you don’t have to say i love you (to say i love you), 7.9k
Taehyung has no idea why Jeongguk won’t stop talking about this boy he loves so much.
(Or, the one time Jeongguk mentions his crush, and the four times it takes for Taehyung to guess it correctly.)
tags: tooth-rotting fluff, confessions, taehyung is oblivious, jungkook is whipped
Taehyung’s got his senior year all planned out perfectly, he thinks. He has a best friend who loves him dearly, a boyfriend who’s the star stud of the school and only a couple of months until he’s out of the horrible place known as high school for good.
His 8th grade boyfriend moving back to Seoul might just be enough to ruin it, though.
tags: enemies to friends to lovers, romantic comedy, avatar: the last airbender references, getting back together, jeongguk is whipped, taehyung is dense, high school au, exes

hope you enjoy!
Hello friends! Quarantine has a lot of us stuck inside so I’m gonna try and keep the fic recs comin and hopefully give y’all something to enjoy while we all stay home :) Taekook is one of my fav ships, I think their personalities fit really well and they are such a fun pair. All of these fic are from ao3 and they’re usually a little on the long side but I’ll throw in some short one-shots as well! This will likely be a pt1 bc i have soooo many taekook bookmarks on ao3. Let’s get started! (I have another BTS fic rec here if you would like more things to read!)
Bite Meby Curionenene, YeonAh
Summary: “Ho… Hoseok… my na- Ju-Jung Hoseok. Who— what…?”
On hindsight, maybe it wasn’t the best idea to reveal your name to two lunatics who had fed you something from a blood bag at 11.54 pm in the middle of a quiet, isolated alleyway.
“Hoseok? Nice to meet you, Hoseok. I’m Kim Namjoon, and this is Kim Seokjin. Do you remember what happened to you?”
“I—”
“Seriously. Just tell him like I did you. It’s like pulling off a band-aid, better fast than slow.”
A heavy sigh was Namjoon’s response to Seokjin’s interjection. “I think this is a bad idea, but alright. Hoseok, you nearly… well… you did die. I saved your life the only way I could. By turning you into a vampire.”
On hindsight, maybe it was a really, really, really bad idea.
One unfortunate near-death later, Hoseok finds out a few things: One, vampires are real. Two, they don’t sparkle. Three, a war is brewing and he’s landed in the middle of it.
Or: AU in which Hoseok screams a lot
okay so I love this fic to the ends of the earth and back. It starts out as Hoseok centred when he is turned into a vampire but then starts to focus on other characters and storylines as well. The Taekook in this is very slow burn but seeing the evolution of their relationship killed me. This fic reads like a full ass novel and I highly highly recommend giving it a read.
refrigerator humming, chewing gum and instant karmaby locks
Summary: Taehyung sets the flowers down on the dining table, plucking the card off the little holder. “Dearest Taehyung, just wanted you to know that I’m thinking about you. I hope you’re thinking about me too. Love–” he pauses and squints before cocking an eyebrow and pursing his lips. “Hyung, why is the boss of your little boy band gang professing his love for me?”
Yoongi drops the noodles on the floor with a loud curse as he burns his hand.
Or, Taehyung’s been trying his hardest to avoid Yoongi’s criminal life for a long ass time, but a cute kid and his infuriating father keep pulling him deeper into the mix.
Mob boss JK but soft mob boss with his son I cannotttt. Watching the evolution of Tae and JK’s relationship was hella cute and fun. Also taekook with kids is just so soft omggg.
cuz in a sky full of stars (i think i saw you) by wowoashley
Summary: taehyung always has bad ideas. and jeongguk thinks this might be the best.
Proposal AU!! Jungkook needs a guest to bring to the Namjin wedding and it seems like his assistant Taehyung is just the man for the job. This is so sweet but angsty near the end, honestly so goodddd.
maybe we’re all just fools by airplanewishes
Summary: Jeongguk likes to run. He’s never wanted anyone to run with him before.
Fake dating AU! Jungkook’s on the school track team and his mother is bothering him about dating someone which JK really doesn’t wanna do so that’s where Tae comes in. Honestly it’s hella cute but also hella angst, highly recommend.
cliff drop gradient by astringxnt
Summary: “somewhere along the way, we will all realize that we only start chasing the things that we were once given a taste of.”
(or, in which Jungkook and Taehyung get married to qualify for more financial aid.)
Weeee love fake dating AUs in this house. Basically Taekook need money so they get married but nothing really changes at first, but then they start to realize their feelings for each other :))
let me know by wowoashley
Summary:taehyung never wears a shirt
JK moves into an new home and his neighbour just happens to be Taehyung. Through this, JK goes on a journey to discovering he is attracted to Tae and it’s really good but angst w/ a happy ending.
Cinnamon Crisp by teatimetaemint
Summary: Jungkook needs his daily dose of cuddles and Taehyung likes to wear Jungkook’s clothes. They don’t care that alphas and omegas aren’t supposed to be best friends.
SO MUCH FLUFF. Im not a huge ABO lover but this is such a sweet story and they care about each other sm it warms my heart. Childhood friends to lovers is also one of my weaknesses sooo.
Date Me by flywithtaetae (kimtaehyungs)
Summary: Taehyung flirts with the cute high school boy and relishes in the flustered reaction he gets for almost an entire year. But when the following year comes along, he finds himself choking on his own words.
One of the only shorter fics on this list and omgggggggggg it sooooo cuteeeeee.
I knew I loved you then (but you’d never know) by nutaella
Summary: ‘You asked me to the store with you and your child, and now my distant relative we met thinks I’m married with a baby’ AU
Another shorter one but its so sweet. Jungkook has a little bb son and Taehyung is helping his bestie raise his son and they get mistaken for a couple.
beep boop by vvpa
Summary: Taehyung’s gaydar is broken. Maybe. Probably, at least. Jungkook can’t really tell.
This one was so funny omgggggg. Its short but so wholesome and funny as hell I actually laughed out loud.
15.30 - Appointment: Kim Taehyung for Jeon Jeongguk (genital piercing) by PaperTigerBlackAndWhite
Summary: Taehyung makes a bet, the forfeit of which is getting his dick pierced.
He loses the bet.
Good thing the piercer has nice eyes. And face. And hands. Not so nice that he seems to keep laughing at Taehyung, but you can’t have everything.
This one is also hilarious omg. Tae getting his dick pierced was never something I thought I would read but here we are. Warning, this has a lot of smut so if that’s not your thing don’t read.
You’re So Special by miniimin
Summary:Sometimes you find your soulmate in the form of a dirty kid on the playground. Sometimes it takes a little longer to figure it out, but that’s okay - in the meantime, you have a best friend.
(Or: Jeongguk falls in love before he knows what the word means. Taehyung spends all his years teaching him.)
This is one of the absolute sweetest fics I have ever read. It follows Tae and Kook as they grow up from little kids to uni and its so sweet. If u want something wholesome and makes u feel things, read this.
Fall Asleep (Fall For You) by drannie
Summary: “They say when you fall in love you can’t fall asleep, but now that I’ve met you I feel like I finally can.”
A University AU where Jungkook and Taehyung become roommates. But Jungkook has insomnia and can’t fall asleep with other people and Taehyung can’t fall asleep alone.
oh boi is the angst real w/ this one. It is one of the best taekook fics on ao3 for a reason. I highly recommend giving this one a read.
Chemistry by taecheeks
Summary: “What’s your zodiac sign?”
“Virgo,” Jungkook responds without thinking. He frowns, glaring. “Why?”
“Hm, I can work with that,” Taehyung says. “I’m a Capricorn.”
“Fascinating. Now back to Chemistry -”
“Isn’t that what I was talking about?”
[Or, Jungkook just wants to get his tutoring sessions with the President’s son over with. Taehyung just wants to get his cute tutor under him.]
This one is longgggggg. Basically JK tutors Tae and everything progresses from there. Honestly this fic has a lot of elements to it and I really just love it. It deals with a lot of different themes like child abuse, panic attacks, and many other things so if any of that upsets you, this fic may not be done for you. The entire series is is really cute tho plz read.
fever started long ago by thestarsabove
Summary: Where there is love, there is warmth. Where there is honesty, there is relief.
In which Taehyung eats a magical fortune cookie and wakes up physically dependent on Jeongguk’s body heat.
A canon compliant fic rec and boi is it will written. Basically tae becomes dependent on JK’s body heat which ik sounds weird but its a really goof fic trust.
maybe we’re fireproof by thestarsabove
Summary: For as long as Jeongguk can remember (and even before that too), his body has been on fire.
Same author as the fic above and just as amazing. Not canon compliant this time and this now JK has problems w/ body heat. Hella recommend this author is fantastic.
Dogs Days by vestals
Summary: Chopa the corgi needs to be sent to dog school, and it just so happens that his trainer is, in Kim Taehyung’s opinion, the finest man out there.
Too bad he’s already got a boyfriend.
Okay so this one I was skeptical to read but I’m real happy I did. This fic was sooo good, the build up was killer and I really enjoyed it. There is quite a bit of smut in this one, you have been warned.
It’s gonna be you (I can’t let go) by OnlyWinterHere
Summary: “The sound of the crowd screaming is deafening. After four years, he should be used to it, but today he needs silence more than ever. Still, Taehyung smiles, because if there’s something he’s learned how to do is smiling even when he feels like dying.”
Or the one where Jungkook gets a girlfriend and Taehyung can’t cope.
This one hurttttttttt. If you are in the mood for some angst and sadness here is the fic for you. Happy ending tho and honestly it’s a really good fic. Also the yoomin spinoff is *chef’s kiss*.
5 millimeters per fucking second by Curionenene
Summary: Jungkook is painfully shy and he wants to do things with his boyfriend Taehyung.
(Or: the kind of slow burn you never knew you needed.)
AWWW this one is the sweetest omgggg. This brings an entirely new meaning to slow burn and it is so precious I can’t.
i wanna come put your lips on mine by locks
Summary: Taehyung glances over at him and with the light hitting the side of his face, throwing shadows over his face, Jeongguk can’t bring himself to be that bothered about their date. Sure being alone would have been nice, but he thinks this is nice, too. He’s with Taehyung, they got their dinner and movie. Just maybe next time they hopefully won’t have his brothers as chaperones.
And when Taehyung puts his head on Jeongguk’s shoulder later, he can’t bring himself to be that mad at all, actually.
Or, it turns out Taehyung and Jeongguk share the same brothers: Fraternity for Jeongguk, and for Taehyung, well, blood.
This is another sweet fic. JK and Tae trying to date behind Tae’s brother’s backs is kinda hilarious and adorable.
Well folks that’s it for now but I have so many more so if y’all are interesting in a pt.2 let me know!! I hope you love these fics as much as I did. If you want other ship recs let me know and I’ll try my best to accommodate! Stay safe and healthy everyone!
