to be alone with you by beotkkot - set in the mid 90s/early 2000s https://archiveofourown.org/works/55282255/chapters/140236678 tae is a boy with autism who has no friends and is deeply devout (catholic), but he falls in love with jimin, a boy who’s a bit rude and mean to him—but it’s clear that he loves him back. the second chapter is a time skip, and i liked it even more than the first chapter! it’s like watching a movie. you really get immersed in taehyung’s character and feel his anguish and pain as if you were him. you can tell the author is very knowledgeable about religious topics. 10000/10 <3

ring the changes by kaythebest - not idol au, best friends to ?? to lovers https://archiveofourown.org/works/12373476 ....slow but sure pain. 45k words of taehyung yearning for jimin. unrequited love, happy ending!

caged birds by 1995soulmates - memory loss, exes to lovers https://archiveofourown.org/works/48070843/chapters/121211836 this story is going to tear your heart apart—they'll run it through a shredder and stomp on it a thousand times. basically, taehyung has a serious accident and ends up in the hospital, and his emergency contact is his ex, jimin—someone the group hasn't seen in a long time and with whom they didn't part on good terms... jimin shows up anyway </3

if i wanted to (i do) by kaythebest - modern royalty https://archiveofourown.org/works/8470381/chapters/19407247 the tags say "arranged marriage," but it's not your typical fanfic on that topic. although it's pretty angsty at first, later on everything is so sweet and domestic, and seeing how, little by little, their love goes from platonic to romantic is just so beautiful. we love situationships that last almost a decade!! (but how can it be a situationship if you're legally married??) hmmmm. 10/10, highly recommended.

to whom it may concern by kaythebest - soulmates, actor taehyung https://archiveofourown.org/works/8910817 cute, soft oneshot!!

extra cream by 1995soulmates - coffee shop au YEAAHHH https://archiveofourown.org/works/17121209 "taehyung doesn't even like coffee but he likes jimin. so he visits jimin's coffee shop regularly." SUPER CUTE ONESHOT AGHSGAJHDAD, i highly recommed if you're missing vmin.

the most beautiful and terrible thing by kaythebest - harrypotter au https://archiveofourown.org/works/12183147 this author makes the best oneshots ever istg. so so good and funny! taehyung drinks veritaserum and makes it everyone's (cough cough jimin's) problem.

now you're lost (lost in the heat of it all) by taetaeq - cat hybrid jimin x dog hybrid taehyung https://archiveofourown.org/works/10978518 jimin hates dog hybrids.... or not. 14k words! funny and cute, i loved reading it.

dear, my love by vmxns - canon complaint, post military. https://archiveofourown.org/works/69947221 "jimin and taehyung used to be best friends. now, they're not sure." your vmin heart will die in agony as you read this, but then it will come back to life. it's perfect, soft, gentle, and the characterization of the seven members is spot on. chef's kiss mwah.

take you down by embyr - post break-up (not idol au) https://archiveofourown.org/works/17545952 it shows how taehyung and jimin live for a year after breaking up. a lot of angst, references to poor mental health and bad habits. the seven are basically like a family and they love each other (my heart aches ugh i love bts)—it has a happy ending!

summer, winter, spring (i'm falling for you) by kaythebest - highschool au https://archiveofourown.org/works/9931415/chapters/22247870 best friends to lovers slow burn. jimin suddenly becomes popular at school and starts getting admirers everywhere he goes... taehyung YEARNS. jimin yearns too. jungkook is the mvp tbh loved him here. 100/10!

some light is rebellion by judewright - dystopia https://archiveofourown.org/works/37472359/chapters/93516346 "on lunar new year, at age 25, you receive a red envelope with the name and address of your genetically compatible spouse." jimin and taehyung are a couple who refuse to accept this, and together with their best friend jk they try to escape that dictatorship. it’s short (10k words)—you almost wish it had 50 chapters—but it’s intense and very well written. if you love dystopian fanfiction as much as i do, you’ll love it.

it's raining panties by giventae - omegaverse (alpha taehyung, omega jimin), smut oneshot https://archiveofourown.org/works/58816849 taehyung is jimin's new neighbor, and after a pretty awkward and embarassing encounter, they become good friends/? (you know how it is with vmin—it's hard to label it.)

i want to hold your hand by vmintimacy - canon compliant https://archiveofourown.org/works/41334150 a beauuuutiful fanfic that depicts vmin's relationship from tae's perspective, as he slowly realizes that he feels more than just platonic love for his best friend. it discusses the change vmin did in the fake love choreography, where they hold hands right at the end. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. love this one so much!

(not quite) 25 days of vmin by gimmethataugstd - 11/11 vmin oneshots https://archiveofourown.org/works/75159286/chapters/196418981 another oneshot compilation!!all very cute and lovely hehe.

one thousand and one by kaythebest - modern with magic au, witches https://archiveofourown.org/works/35819119 jimin is a witch and gives love readings (among other things). taehyung is looking for his soulmate and asks him for help. it’s a really beautiful story: 4k words that'll fill your stomach with magical butterflies! i wish we could read more chapters of this story.

more than yesterday by 1995soulmates - canon compliant, established vmin https://archiveofourown.org/works/16574411 "je t'aime plus qu'hier mais moins que demain" beautiful, romantic, and heartwarming oneshot. my vmin heart melted.

the world stops turning, and they keep dancing by firstginkgo - canon compliant, dumpling indident! https://archiveofourown.org/works/39360180 "a vmin inspired by the dumpling incident. but make it arospec." taehyung and jimin have been a couple forever; they've always shown affection for each other in their own way. jimin and taehyung are inseparable basically (duh). but it's when taehyung realizes he's never kissed jimin (nor has he ever wanted or felt the need to) that everything changes—plus the dumpling incident. this 10k oneshot really moved me and honestly, it also helped me understand much more about what it means to be aromantic and how that feels. very beautiful and emotional. i really liked it.

i know you want me by getfighted, trilluvium - smut oneshot (top taehyung) https://archiveofourown.org/works/17339483 taehyung meets a really sweet guy who quickly catches his attention. taehyung has the power to read minds... and he reads jimin's mind. sexy and funny and cute!

a million tiny things (that you have never known) by vmintimacy - canon compliant (canon divergence for december 2021) https://archiveofourown.org/works/44931736 super beautiful and tender, just taehyung and jimin being taehyung and jimin...deeply in love but totally clueless. taehyung shows jimin every song he writes first, no matter if it’s just a rough draft or a melody. so it’s only natural that jimin feels hurt when he finds out taehyung is hiding one from him. i really love canon compliant fics and this is one of my favs, really recommend <3

shonen-au love you by kaythebest - highschool au https://archiveofourown.org/works/12780711 silly and cute oneshot where popular kim taehyung crushes on the anime nerd jimin. so he studies bl manga to impress him

basic instinct by beotkkot - omegaverse (alpha taehyung, omega jimin) https://archiveofourown.org/works/76721456/chapters/200812961 jimin and taehyung used to be best friends growing up. jimin hates alphas and only dates betas. taehyung doesn't care and is still madly in love with him & he's a celebrity now. this story is just so cute (and angsty) and also really sexy in so many moments—aghh, i highly recommend it! ((AUGUST 2026 UPDATE: still ongoing ))

new world order by 1955soulmates - dystopia, omegaverse (alpha jimin, omega taehyung), ot7 pack https://archiveofourown.org/works/78194041/chapters/204952261 this fic is my current obsession. a society in which omegas are gradually losing their rights and indepence. the situation is escalating so quickly and badly that the pack has to make a decision. side ship namkook! angsty but still hopeful(? and romantic. highlyyyyy recommend!!!! ((AUGUST 2026 UPDATE: still ongoing))
