tbh there are just so so so many good skz fics but here are some of my faves (will be adding more as I read more):

★ - my favorites

Non ship-centric fics

Somewhere along the line, they’ve appointed themselves as Jeongin’s Bad Date Protection Squad. Jeongin just wants to find The One.

Seungmin’s trip takes an unexpected turn. And then two more.

Seungmin/Jisung

Some facts about 3racha, superhero trio of District 9:

-CB97 can manipulate water and is more useful than a whole team of firefighters when it comes to burning buildings; Bang Chan is probably dehydrated from the amount of coffee and instant ramen he consumes.

-SpearB can control shadows and is pretty much seen as a lord of darkness by the press; Seo Changbin lost any rights to call himself dark maybe five cutesy acts ago.

-J.One can teleport, and his power is mistaken for flight due to how he manages to be everywhere at once; Han Jisung just wishes he could somehow distance himself from the crush he still holds from sophomore year.

((what to not say about this fic...this fic is absolutely amazing one of my favorite fics of all time...a little biased because seungmin and jisung are my top 2 in skz but shipping aside the world building is awesome in this fic. skz with superpowers is interesting enough, but this fic also brings up so many interesting themes like inequality, what it really mean to be a superhero/idol etc etc that I feel like are issues that can discussed outside of fiction. plus the plot is interesting and intricate but cohesive + many characters play significant parts and just...wow.))

They stare at each other for a few long moments.

“You’re Spiderman?” Jisung says lowly, his voice deepened by sleep and something else Seungmin can’t quite put a finger on.

Seungmin nods jerkily. “Yeah.”

Seungmin/Hyunjin

“Hyunjin?” Seungmin’s voice is soft.

He takes off his sunglasses; now Hyunjin can see his eyes. Hyunjin has always liked Seungmin’s eyes, how sincere his gaze is.

Hyunjin is frozen. “Do you want a different server?”

And here, Seungmin’s mouth flattens into a frown. “No,” he snaps, harsh. “I’m a normal paying customer. Treat me the way you’d treat anyone else.”

[Hyunjin is a part-time waiter; Seungmin is an idol. Seven years later, they meet again on a Wednesday at the Nine & Dine.]

((this fic is so beautiful. the time jumps between past and present is great in explaining seungjin's relationship here. the characterization of skz and how they all play a role in a story is always a joy so it was great to see that in this fic.))

On the last day of break before their final year of high school, Hyunjin runs to the half-court line with Seungmin's old, slightly deflated basketball and says that if he makes the shot, Seungmin has to grant his wish.

Changbin/Felix

Changbin walks into college knowing three things:

1) He’s never had a soulmate.2) He’s here at Seoul University to become an artist.3) He misses his best friend, but that’s okay. He’ll manage.

By December, the list is fundamentally the same, with one addendum— he’s never had a soulmate, but he can’t seem to get Lee Felix, the energetic violinist next door, out of his mind.

((this fic puts a spin onto the soulmate au trope!! I love the blossoming changlix relationship...it just feels natural and the dynamics between Changbin and the rest of skz in this fic (especially hyunjin and jisung) are really fun to read!!)

maybe felix should’ve noticed that anyone wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses at eleven o’clock at night probably has a good reason for it.

Hyunjin/Felix

Falling in love works like this: you do it once, and then sometimes you get the chance to do it again.

Or, the laws of astrophysics refuse to let Hyunjin and Felix lose each other.

((meeting each other again after some time and /feelings/ get involved is one of my fav tropes haha so this is my type of fic...so soft...cosmic metaphor...yes...))

“What’re you ignoring me for? Still bitter about losing the latest horse race to me?”

Spluttering, Felix spun around and backed away slightly to create some distance. “Hwang Hyunjin, you take that back! I didn’t lose. It was rigged, okay? All the tournaments in Sokor are rigged.”

Or, where Felix and Hyunjin are princes from rival nations who love [to compete with] each other.

((ahh royal aus,,this fic is a real sweet fic about royal! hyunlix and I just love it it's super soft and cute and who doesn't love hyunjin and felix as princes??))

Minho/Jisung

His dad's girlfriend was sweet for wanting to help Minho find a boyfriend, going as far as roping her own daughter into bringing over a friend for him to connect with. She meant well, she did.

So maybe that’s why he said it. It was true that he didn’t have time for dating with graduation so soon, but he definitely didn’t have time to disappoint Dahyun, who patted the top of his dad’s head like they were teenagers, Dahyun who managed to place an uncharacteristic pink blush across his dad’s cheeks.

“I’m dating someone,” he’d said.

And without further question or doubt, Dahyun replied, “Oh, then bring him to scary movie night with you. If in the horror movie of our life we decide he dies later than your dad, I approve.”

_

Or, Minho needs a fake boyfriend for one night and Changbin has an idea.

Jisung is an ambitious film director struggling to find the right person for the romantic main lead of his next movie. Although there are more than enough actors trying for the role, he has yet to find someone who would fit his specific vision. Tired of seeing him struggle, Jisung’s friends drag him along to a party where he unexpectedly comes across the perfect person for the role - throwing up in a bathroom stall.

((starting from the summary this fic is a blast- awesome fic about director! jisung and actor! minho...there are some scenes in this fic that are described like they're in a movie idk, the imagery is just so vivid and beautiful and suits this fic very well!))

“Do you know he calls you his soulmate?”

Minho almost spits his drink out when Changbin asks this. “Uh, yeah, he wrote this for a broadcast letter, once.”

“No, I mean— he’s actually said it. Out loud. To me,” Changbin says, looking directly at Minho as if he’s trying to gauge the older’s reaction, before he adds, “Without cameras.”

“I’m sure all the members are important to him,” Minho points out.

“Yeah, but he doesn't call the rest of us his soulmates,” Changbin mumbles, under his breath and almost inaudible.

--

or: Minho and Jisung are soulmates, except it’s not an AU. It’s real life.

((this fic is written sooo well and minsung are just soulmate goals ofc...great characterization in my opinion askfgnf))

Minho is behind the counter, taking orders and misspelling names. Since it’s a university, the coffee shop is fairly full, with a constant background noise of people talking.

Then, out of nowhere, the talking stops, and the thing happens, one of those moments where everybody just collectively decides to fall silent, but one unfortunate soul doesn’t get the memo. In specific, a guy with brown hair and a blue t-shirt sighs into the dead quiet, “Dammit, somebody date me.”

There’s a second where the guy doesn’t realize anything is wrong, but then his expression freezes, and he shrinks down in his seat. Minho is amused, embarrassed on his behalf, all normal reactions. And then the impulse kicks in, the urge to pick the most idiotic and unconventional choice just because he can.

“Okay,” Minho replies, and everybody in the room looks at him. “I will.”

[It isn't fake, but it isn't real, either. Until suddenly, it is.]

“Hey, you okay?”

The man tilts his head imperceptibly, neck stiff, and gives a tight nod. “Mm. Fine.”

Jisung squints at him. “No offence, but you don’t really look it, buddy.”

This gets him moving more naturally. “Saying ‘no offence’ doesn’t actually excuse you of anything.”

“Fine. You look like shit, then.”

Changbin/Jisung

Well, it’s a popular dessert shop, and Changbin doesn’t really bring Jisung there, he kind of just meets him, and then accidentally goes on a date with him, and then there’s a dance-off—whatever, okay? He’ll take Jisung to a restaurant next time.

((so damn cute and cheeky and all that binsung is. I have a huge soft spot for binsung and this fic is everything I want- it's funny and the writing style is so engaging and I especially love how jisung is written here <3))

Hyunjin/Jeongin

Hyunjin's got the thickest lips and Jeongin has a mouth full of braces. Kissing goes exactly as well as one would expect.

Seungmin/Felix

based on a true story (twitter thread)...

transfer student!felix and teacher's pet!seungmin feat. mild minho and jeongin eating pickles

Falling in love isn't always a steep dive; sometimes falling in love happens slowly, gradually, comfortably, and you don't really realise until you're right there at the bottom. And if you're lucky enough, you find that you didn't fall alone.

--

or: Seungmin enters university, and grows up through the years. ( AU )

((this fic!! it made me love seunglix so much more and I'm a sucker for 00' line friendship and shenanigans because I just think skz 00' line is so interesting because they are all so different?? the problems 00' line have throughout this fic are just so...real? I personally get it which is maybe why I like this fic so much. seunglix are so soft here and I'm amazed by the buildup of their relationship in this fic. I feel like it's really hard to write relationship subtleties but this author does it so well- at the end when you look back with the characters and see how much has changed, you realize it feels so natural for seunglix to be together along with them and it's a great feeling))

Hyunjin/Jisung

“Of course Hyunjin likes it,” Felix calls. “You’re the emo boy he’s always dreamed of.”

“I’ve heard dreams are— not quite the miroh, but it’s a step toward it,” Changbin says. “I think if you’re meeting this guy in your dreams, then you two are connected somehow. Like, your fates are intertwined.”

Jisung gapes. “So we’re soulmates?” He’s heard a story about soulmates once.

“Of course not, soulmates aren’t real. What are you, five?” Changbin says, like he didn’t just talk about the spiritual a few seconds ago. Jisung won’t point that out, though— he’s too busy being relieved.

Jisung would sell his soul to the devil, if it was half of Hyunjin’s.

[Jisung is a servant. Hyunjin is the astronomer's apprentice. They have to walk many miles together— too bad they get off on the wrong foot.]

Seungmin/Changbin

“So it's just us?” Changbin asks, giving Seungmin a look of uncertainty. “Just the two of us?”

Seungmin shrugs again - he doesn't know what Changbin wants to hear from him. If he could back out of or postpone this trip he would have already done so.

“Only you and me,” Changbin keeps going. “On this drive.”

“Shut up,” Seungmin mumbles, shaking head and marching off to the passenger side od the car. “This is for Hyunjin.”

“For Hyunjin,” Changbin echoes as he slides into the driver's seat. “Right.”

Seungmin doesn't know how he's supposed to survive the next few days with just his ex-boyfriend as his company, in a cramped car at that, but as with most things - it is what it is, so he just has to figure out how to deal.

--

or: Hyunjin is getting married, and Seungmin & Changbin get stuck on a trip together; AU

((seungbin are such a great duo and their relationship is always interesting to read. this fic characterizes them well and is written beautifully. I just have a soft spot for seungbin okay))

all the while, changbin can only look straight and square into seungmin’s desperate eyes. but they share a common thought, something that is so bewildering and so unbelievable that changbin cannot believe his own mind - yang jeongin is alive. yang jeongin is alive - and seungmin brought him back to life.

“Do you ever think,” Changbin begins, brow furrowing. “Do you ever think about if the timing had been different we might have been in the same group?”

Seungmin stares him. The truth is that, yes, in the deepest of nights when he can’t sleep, he rolls from his side to his back and stares at the ceiling, mind racing with alternate realities where maybe he and Changbin train together, the goal of debut in both their sights. Maybe he and Changbin debut together, harnessing that electric energy between them to perform under the flashing lights. Maybe they raise their first trophy together, sharing a look of triumph from across the stage.

“Let’s face it, hyung,” he says instead, “we probably would have killed each other.”

Chan/Minho

Chan slowly looks upwards- and yup, there's the mistletoe, hanging lopsidedly above him and Minho like a green harbinger of doom. He stares at it for a few long moments before looking over at Minho, and then back up at the dangling green plant again.

“Uh,” He chokes out, suddenly feeling very hot in his winter clothing.

Minho grins at him innocently, his eyes dark.

minho convinces chan to drink with him. chan learns something new about minho.

Changbin/Hyunjin

just your atypical idol and underground rapper falling in love au

Love letters and high school romance, things Hyunjin never took that seriously and enjoyed frivolously, are turning out to be more complicated than he expected (and wanted) them to be.

or: Hyunjin just wants to find out who wrote him the love letter. Finding out that he likes one of his best friends was not part of the plan.

Minho/Changbin

“Should we do this one-on-one? Focus on the opening for tonight? Jisung needs the least amount of work. Felix you help him. Hyunjin, you go with Chan. I’ll take Changbin.”

“Are you saying I need the most amount of work?” Changbin asked as Minho approached him. Irritation clouded his common sense which yelled 'these guys are helping you' and 'you don’t even know him.'

“Yes,” Minho replied plainly, and Changbin’s common sense hid behind his ego.

"You’re aware there’s no way I’m going to look as good as you do by this time next week?”

“Are you calling me good looking?” Minho asked. He smirked, but when Changbin did nothing but glare at him, he blinked hard and seemed to reset his focus. “You’re going to improve. Trust me. I’ll even make sure you’re the most improved. Hyung will compliment you the most.”

Changbin grumbled a quick “we'll see” before getting into his starting position.

__

Or, 3racha gets backup dancers for their upcoming tour, and Seo Changbin is paired with one enigmatic Lee Minho.

Minho/Seungmin

Seungmin likes to be organized, and in line with this, Seungmin loves lists and tables. They give his life a semblance of order, which is why he makes at least a mental list for everything. That is to say, Seungmin keeps an up-to-date list of people on his good side, and an even more up-to-date list of people who aren't.

Lee Minho? Right at the top of the second one.

--

or: Seungmin really can't stand Minho; or so he thinks. ( AU )

Jisung/Felix

when jisung had woken up on the morning of his nineteenth birthday, he’d expected cake and gifts and love showered upon him from all his biggest fans. (he doesn’t regret instead getting the gift of felix grinning against his lips, right where jisung can hold him tight and never let go.) or the one where the boys born a day apart fall in love with each other, as most stories go.
