my favorite chanbaek fics!

- this list is ongoing -

my all-time favorites

• animae sine amore inmmortales - Immortal souls without love. The moon dreams of fire yearning to burn and love reborn from the ashes.
• a rhythm of it's own - Baekhyun is a music snob. An experimental venture into his city's underground hip hop scene leads him to Chanyeol, and he keeps coming back.
• bittersweet baby - Guarding the son of Seoul's mafia boss was never easy, but for Chanyeol falling in love with him was even harder.

now back to my regular recs (i love these fics all the same but the three above made me feel extreme emotions man..)

• earthgrazers - Ruby Sparks!AU. Romance novelist Park Chanyeol is having the worst writer’s block of his career. Frustrated, he tries writing on an old typewriter and for the first time in weeks, the words start to flow. The next morning, he wakes up to a naked stranger spooning him—a naked stranger who just happens to be the main protagonist of the novel he's writing.
• can't fight these bad intentions - Baekhyun is torn between wanting: A - to rip his neighbor's head off because he's so loud or B - into his pants.
• forever younger, growing older - Baekhyun is Prince Charming, except he supposes he's the one being swept off his feet.
• breakfast with the fuzz - Officer Park Chanyeol is reassigned from a busy city police department to one in a small town, against his wishes. When a beautiful, intriguing parkour enthusiast is arrested and brought in to his new workplace, Chanyeol feels compelled to ask him out for breakfast. He quickly learns that Byun Baekhyun never eats breakfast, hates cops, and has more baggage than a busload of tourists. These things are only minor obstacles to winning him over, as far as Chanyeol is concerned.
• ocalis: the lost legend - An assignment leads journalist, Park Chanyeol, to a desolate island in the middle of nowhere where people have been rumored to be disappearing. He doesn't know what to expect of the island, but it isn't mythical creatures; an eyeless, soulless villainess; or magical mirrors that lead to another world. And surely, it isn't the alluring innkeeper and barista who claims Chanyeol is the missing ruler of the magical land; and that he is Chanyeol's long-lost lover.
• (baby we'll) make this work - Baekhyun didn’t think it would be this easy to fall in love.
• until kingdom come - The Phoenix King of Joseon and the youngest Byun have been engaged for eighteen summers.
• warm enough for you outside, baby? - Baekhyun is a collector, and well, Chanyeol is a piece of art.
• come in, stay awhile Baekhyun is a workaholic forced to go on vacation. There, he meets a little boy and his dad.
• bitten by the love bug - Chanyeol’s no exterminator but he’s always there when he hears his next door neighbor screaming about a bug.

• pat it, roll it, mark it with a b - Baekhyun owns a bakery and is too busy to date or have much of a social life, until Chanyeol drags him out of his fondant shell.
• like bourbon in my coffee cup - Chanyeol needs a ride to a wedding, and unexpectedly ends up in a road trip with his ex boyfriend.
• reminiscence - Baekhyun loses his memory en route to home, where Chanyeol tries to help.
• ignis fatuus foolish fire - When Baekhyun falls through a wishing well and plunges headfirst into an unknown world, he finds himself walking through an incredible dream of magical civilisations, myths come to reality, a life on the road, maybe even love. And though all dreams must come to an end, surely all he has to do is trust in his guiding light — and believe it'll give him his happy ending.
• blood and water - Ever since he was a little boy Chanyeol has known that there is much more to life than his parents, with their pure-blood privilege and conservative ideals, would have him believe. But when he meets Baekhyun, a Muggle-born whose magic goes far beyond mere wizardry and spell casting, Chanyeol gets so much more than he ever bargained for.
• el dorado - Chanyeol, a highly decorated soldier from a noble kingdom, comes to slay the dragon that's rumoured to lurk in the neighbouring mountains. He's surprised to find a lonely man there instead, sitting atop a mountain of gold.
• target practice - Baekhyun pursues Chanyeol, while Chanyeol helps him live.
• 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.
• after all the rain - Baekhyun has loved Chanyeol since the time he couldn’t remember, but Chanyeol hasn’t. Baekhyun loved too much, but Chanyeol might not. Chanyeol was his first love, but Baekhyun wasn’t.
• children of the storm - Most of the people his age had already given up their mermaid dreams, but Chanyeol had always been different. He had been claimed and branded by the ocean when he was barely a child, and had known since then that all the sailor tales were real. He survived the storm, and he grew stronger, and he knew the chance would come sooner or later to capture his own mermaid and make it cry its pearly tears for him. Little did he know that his chance would present itself in the shape of a silver haired boy, with eyes as black as the starless sky and the spirit of the tempest in his heart.
• a candle in the night - The difference between a Lord, a Prince, almost a King and a boy who grew up on the streets is obvious. It is even more obvious when Baekhyun tries to keep the children in the streets alive and all Chanyeol seems to be doing is getting on his nerves, just because he wants to know. And if Baekhyun is being honest, he is scared of the Red Lord and his Guard and the consequences of smuggling food out into the night when the soldiers are patrolling the streets and Chanyeol is dead-set on getting Baekhyun arrested. Or so he thinks.
• by sweet definition - Life gave Baekhyun a camera so he could take pictures. Life gave Chanyeol a garden so he could plant flowers. And life gave them each other so they could fall in love.

• you cause me pain (but i think i like it - Chanyeol and Baekhyun attempt to put their (not-so-little) rivalry on hold to create a plan to get their friends Chen and Kyungsoo together. One problem. They’re really bad at that.

• new york, london...maybe tokyo - After breaking up with his boyfriend, Baekhyun finds himself running into Chanyeol...a lot...and he's not entirely sure why or how...
• the ahjumma matchmaker - In which Chanyeol's mom is Baekhyun’s favorite customer, and spends a year and a half trying to get them together.

• heart says yes, mouth says no - Prefect Byun Baekhyun gets asked out by his favorite (see: sarcasm) student - Gryffindor quidditch team captain Park Chanyeol.
• mugged up love - Son. His boss has a son. Baekhyun definitely needs to rethink his game plan.
• he's my cherry pie - Baekhyun gets stuck in a place he really shouldn't have been in. Chanyeol is willing to help him out, but it comes at a price.
• like ships in the night - Chanyeol runs a flower shop. He may or may not have a crush on a cute boy who rides his bike past his shop every morning.
• you were always the one for me - Baekhyun liked kissing Chanyeol. Chanyeol liked kissing Baekhyun. They were best friends, but that was okay, right?
• old boys - Chanyeol is dragged along to his high-school reunion by his two best friends, and unexpectedly meets his long-lost first love for the second time.
• for better or for worse - Baekhyun is a wedding singer, Chanyeol is the best man at a wedding—and this is where their paths cross.
• you've ruined all my favorite songs - Chanyeol makes a bet with his roommate Baekhyun, an avid bar-hopper, that he can't last a whole month without going out. Baekhyun accepts the challenge, but soon finds that spending more time around Chanyeol only serves to resurrect some long-buried feelings, as well as a few old habits.
• heliostation - Chanyeol is the Summerking searching for his missing Spring Light. Baekhyun is a Red Poppy, hidden in the human realm. 65 years of winter have everyone in the fairy and human sphere yearning for summer warmth.
• watermelon radler - Baekhyun is filthy rich and Chanyeol is his steamy pool boy. SMUT!
• you or flying? for me it's you - Baekhyun just really wants the hot captain of the plane to notice him.
• do you love me like you used to? - Baekhyun’s never visited Busan before. But when he runs into his ex, he can’t help but feel that everything is a little too familiar.
• can i have your number? - Chanyeol is Baekhyun's 'tall-and-totally-hot-but-too-plain-for-Byun-Baekhyun’s-liking' neighbor from the same floor, Jongdae is Baekhyun's annoying matchmaker wannabe, and Sehun is just a brat.
• swift, t. 2012, track 4 - alternatively I Knew You Were Trouble, if only Park Chanyeol knew that TayTay song when he first met Byun Baekhyun.
• city of stars (are you shining just for me?0 - Ten thousand years from now, humans destroy Earth. Two millennia later, Chanyeol finds Baekhyun peacefully asleep in his cryo tank, oblivious to the world around him. (In retrospect, the first thought Chanyeol will remember having about Byun Baekhyun is this: he has eyes filled with stars.)
• if you leave me can i come too? - After discovering that Chanyeol still hasn’t told his mother they’re dating, Baekhyun decides to break off their relationship and moves out of their shared apartment. Plagued by heartbreak-induced sleep disturbances, Chanyeol soon finds himself waking up in places where he and Baekhyun shared memories together, with no recollection of how he got there.
• you bake me crazy - Byun Baekhyun was losing his mind. Losing his mind over a certain 6-foot giant with big ears and an infuriatingly adorable smile, who worked wonders with his hands. He just couldn’t understand how someone with hands that big could be delicate enough to frost and decorate the way they did. But he would eventually find out exactly what Park Chanyeol could do with those hands.
• jump! - Aspiring manga artist Baekhyun mysteriously acquires the ability to travel through time, and his experiences inspire a humorous new manga concept that just might get him published by the company he works for. At the same time, he befriends the attractive new assistant artist at his workplace, who kindly offers to help him with the project, leading to an unplanned romance that turns Baekhyun's ordinary life upside down.
• hold me closer, sleepy dancer - With a demanding job, a recent heartbreak and the everyday trials of a chronic illness, Chanyeol is convinced that romance no longer has a place in his little world — until the guy of his dreams suddenly waltzes into the picture and asks if he’d like to dance.
• where the seas stay the same - when i look at you, im home

+ Tell Me You Want Me Around Tell Me I'm Yours - Chanyeol is everywhere: in Baekhyun's bed, at the top of his most used contacts list, locked in with him in a recording studio. So what will it take for Baekhyun to let Chanyeol into his heart, too?

• so sick of love songs - Chanyeol isn't a mad scientist and Baekhyun isn't unemployed, even if he is always shuffling noisily around Chanyeol's apartment. Where Chanyeol doesn't really want him because he doesn't want, or need, a flatmate. He doesn't want Lu Han's replacement, either.
