fiiiiinally im able to remake this list bc i was highk a lil out of it in my old one. + i may be biased due 2 nostalgia.. but!!!! here goes. i love chanbaek so much btw // 💗 - fave

CHANBAEK

every single star 💗

chanyeol dials the wrong number.

• short n sweet. oh my god one of my faves it’s so gentle and the ending was perfect this was stuck in my mind for years

Behind Blue Eyes 💗

Baekhyun is, among many things, (blind and angry) in love with Chanyeol. Chanyeol is, among many things, (manipulative and persistent) in love with Baekhyun. It only takes them a few years to understand how a relationship works.

• Oh my dick I need to reread before I make notes but this was truly a masterpiece

More Than Meets The Eye 💗

They have a lot of differences. Baekhyun’s lost faith in the world, but Chanyeol still believes in fate. Baekhyun is cautious, always the one to pull away at the first sign of danger while Chanyeol's the one who’s insistent, adamant to draw him back in. Baekhyun is human; Chanyeol just might not be.

• i love this, holy shit i love this? i can't say anything more you better get reading

1922. 10. 31

He could feel it - that fear crawling up his throat in a bid to get away from the horrors that would now stain the back of his eyelids every night. (Or, Chanyeol buys a home intending to keep it forever; the home seems to want to keep him too.)

• gigi_bell was my fave author for a loooong time and this was one of the fics that had me js binging their thousands of work ,, and this was scaaary and just sad :(

Closets Are For Ghosts And Gays

Chanyeol and Baekhyun are both in the closet, but for completely different reasons.

• soo... i read ghost fics. then what? BUT, this is one of the very best and its heavily underrated i actually screamed. Read it it is beautiful.

A Promise of Happy Ending 💗

The one seated across Baekhyun in this blind date is his high school bully from 10 years ago.

• Crazy how true to life this is bc i deadass know someone who was exactly like chanyeol

Ya’aburnee

”It was ironic, Chanyeol mused, that one of them was actively running from death and the other wanted to be death’s friend.”

• another gigibell! this hurt my heart oh no

On the booze with Brahms

Chanyeol has never heard anyone say puppy like the asshole violinist next door does.

• i read it when i was 13 and i was horrified. But it's chic and i reread it every once and a while 👀👀

Read My Lips

"Park Chanyeol! Your cat got mine pregnant!" Or where Byul didn't know her mating would start a war.

• idk this was just ridiculous and FUNNY

Children of the Storm

Most people his age had already given up their mermaid dreams, but Chanyeol had always been different.

• Asshole Chanyeol again but baekhyun IS BEHUTIFULE9483OFJI9

The Byun and the Bun

Baekhyun knows how to deal with rabbits...

• i’m not all for furry fics but this was wholesome Chanyeol is SOOONHEJKWYUSHJUBS7

Missing You

In which soulmates have some kind of telepathy with their soulmates, like dreaming about what they’re doing or reading their thoughts. One night, Chanyeol dreams about his soulmate about to commit suicide.

• Chanyeol kinda pmo

Songbird _All his life Chanyeol had been preparing to meet a beast, to hide away and hate his husband for rumored cruelty and disgusting looks. But, standing in front of him he truthfully felt endeared by the man. (Lord Chanyeol of the Elves is married off to Lord Byun of the Vampires)

• fuck i love fantasy and elves everything. i love how i agree w how the world works for mythical beings liek them in this au and i genuinely applaud gigibell for that i mean gigibell gigibell keep writing please

Unravel me 💗

Baekhyun, lost and depressed, has gone mute. Now, trapped in a mental hospital, he doesn't let anyone touch himself and spends most of his days in bed. Little does he know his life is about to change. —a story about love, loss, and companionship, and finding one’s way through the dark.

• made me wanna puke this is my entire soul it kinda ruined my entire life but hey they were cute 👀👀

BAEKCHEN

horizon line 💗

(Or: the one where Monster!Baekhyun and LMR!Baekhyun accidentally swap places.)

• god i loved this it was perfect. THE CONTRAST. and i love jongdae sooooo much u guys just really need to read ts. i love how sad and funny this is literally js the goat of all baekchen fics

Blink Once, Twice (What Do You See?)

Baekhyun has always had an affinity for the light, with its brightness, its warmth, the way it reflects off of Jongdae in the most beautiful of ways. But then there are shadows, never-ending, dangerous, and there's more to light than he ever thought possible.

• scary and dehumanizing you'll wanna throw up but hey it's baekchen and they're so fucking precious
