Length - Chaptered (64k)

Genre - Romance/Slice-of-life

Note - poly, aromantic character

Summary - In which four very different neighbors get stuck in an elevator and somehow end up launching a social experiment called Love Shuffle, in which they each switch partners once a week.

Remarks - I literally, finished this last night. I was hesitant to read this at first but I am glad I did. Most of the time, my intuition is very good and I am able to pick up the climax but this was full of surprises.

Chanbaek #22

Title - Puppy in Love
Rating - PG-13

Author -baeconandeggs @ Ao3
Length - Oneshot (32k)
Status - Complete
Genre - Romance/Fluff

Note - Model!au, Travel, Toben, Vivi, Bacon (baekhyun's dog), slow burn, neighbours, slice of life, strangers to friends to lovers.

Summary - As weird as it may seem, Chanyeol is convinced that his dog, Toben, is in love with the Welsh corgi next door. Unfortunately for Toben, the small dog seems uninterested and snobs him every time. Just like his grumpy owner.

Remarks - This was such a different take on all the model/fashion !aus i have read so far. Really good and ii absolutely loved toben and bacon XD. Again this story is one of my favourites from BAE2018.

This is from BAE (baeconandeggs fic fest - which is the official chanbaek fic fest). BAE is amidst posting so the authors are unrevealed. (I participated too and my story is posted as well,,,but not gonna tell you the name lmao)
There is gonna be a flood of CB fics recced here so keep yourself updated here.

Subaek #1

Title - (after a while) you learn
Rating - R

Author - curledupkitten (chanyeol) @ Ao3
Length - fourshot (132k)
Status - Complete
Genre - Romance/slice of life

Note - [Artist!au] [band!au] This is basically suho-centric but there is more than enough subaek in it too.
Warnings - **as mentioned by author** strong emphasis on drinking culture (as in characters drink a lot, but there is no sex under the influence of alcohol), brief mentions of past violence (of many kinds, specifically military hazing, emotionally self-destructive behavior, fisticuffs, and homophobia), age difference (no characters involved are under the age of consent in South Korea, meaning 19 international age/20 korean age).

Summary - there are very few things harder for joonmyun than being honest with himself.

Remarks - I am in love with this story. It touched my heartstrings deeply. Suho's characterization is so on point like i actually believe he is like this only irl, ofc with few exceptions. This is my most favourite story. And it was my first time reading subaek. Idk if i will read this pairing again but if the story is even half good as this then i will definitely.
