• i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) ♡ by cygnus (sunsprite)

Summary: Slice of life au. Very much a coming of age story where Jaemin figures out who he is, where he wants to go, and who he wants to be with.

Comment: One of the first NCT fanfics I fell in love with, and although I've seldom re-read it, I adore the way they came together. There is something so sincere and adorable about these two here.

• that glittering gold by lateralplosion

Summary: Olympics au. Jaemin is a competitive speed skater and can't seem to stop running into Renjun, a volunteer.

Comment: So it's been a while since I last read this but sports stories always make me feel some kinda way and the ambience of the Olympics was perfect.

JOHNTEN

• Speculation, Speculation ♡ by todolist

Summary: Ten gets hit in the face with past regrets he thought were done and over with when the one he never had a chance with all those years ago walks into his office, and by extension, back into his life.

Comment: LOVED IT. Have re-read multiple times. What made this story so special to me is how down to earth it feels. Sure there's a ton of played up comedy and exaggerated scenes, but at the heart of it, the things written about here are things that could happen to any of us.
