- Summary: Kyungsoo is a new hire at a porn company and he gets thrown into a video featuring the number 1 bottom, Baekhyun. Meanwhile, Baekhyun is a bitch until Kyungsoo really proves his worth.
- Verdict: Holy moly, porn star universe? YES.
- Better Than This - tatoeba - AU
- Rating: NC17
- Summary: Baekhyun wakes up earlier than expected and can't handle the boredom alone.
- Verdict: Hot morning sex and efficient in the way things work out. I like that Baekhyun seeks approval and that he knows how read between the lines when Kyungsoo speaks to him.
- I C Major Potential in You and I - henqiguai - AU
- Rating: PG
- Summary: Kyungsoo's favourite family restaurant replaces their old pianist with Baekhyun who plays whatever he wants and uses server Sehun as a messenger to woo Kyungsoo through raunchy music.
- Verdict: Super cute. My favourite line has to be when Baekhyun plays a particularly gag-worthy song to get Kyungsoo's attention and Kyungsoo points to the grease from his hamburger as a response.

- Rating: PG13
- Summary: Baekhyun and Kyungsoo are lifelong friends who get separated at university but come together as resident doctors. Together, they figure out how to balance the stress that is being a doctor in training and Baekhyun finally realizes when to let go of Joonmyeon.
- Verdict: Loooved it. The medical terms make me think that the writer is probably pre-med, but I'm all for authenticity as much as possible. It did kind of pain me to see Kyungsoo as the one who's loved Baekhyun for ages but always kept quiet about it because Baekhyun had only ever continued to pine after Joonmyeon.
- In the Territory of the Dragon King - curledupkitten - AU
- Rating: NC17
- Summary: Kyungsoo, an architect who winds up escaping to Jeju, and Baekhyun, proprietor of an inn.
- Verdict: AMAZING. Mammoth of a story, but the character development and the eventual romance that blossoms shows all the intricacies and vulnerabilities of people who have lost different and important things in their lives.
- Not Great, Admittedly - gdgdbaby - Veep!AU
- Rating: PG13
- Summary: Amy!Kyungsoo and Dan!Baekhyun bicker and bicker, but they get shit done.
- Verdict: Holy moly, I never knew I needed this until I read it. The writing is always fabulous, but EXO members as various characters from Veep is wholly amusing.
- Regrets, 1975 - fashcandy - AU
- Rating: PG13, NC17
- Summary: In a world of filmmaking, screenwriting, and acting, Do Kyungsoo has built a reputation for himself as a talented but exceptionally fickle screenwriter. Byun Baekhyun is a fresh actor straight from the success of modelling and one rom-com and Kyungsoo wants nothing to do with him.
- Verdict: Whoa. I love the snippets of script and the Kaisoo backstory. I think it's rare and precious to see Kyungsoo interacting with Kris the way this writer portrayed them.

- Rating: PG13
- Summary: Five years into their career when the fangirls have calmed down to give them some space, Baekhyun and Kyungsoo escape to Paris where Kyungsoo can't help but keep falling in love with Baekhyun.
- Verdict: So, so, so sweet. Good writing and good characterization. I like how all the members egg them on about going on a trip just the two of them.
- Way We Are, The - chinguline - canonish
- Rating: PG13
- Summary: The beagle trio have made a bet to see who can get Kyungsoo to willingly kiss them. Chanyeol tries everything, even couple rings, and Jongdae tries to be ultra-attentive. Only Baekhyun seems to be failing miserably because he can't stop the stupid perverted jokes.
- Verdict: Oh my gosh, the writer tried to connect so much RL stuff in here and it's awesome. I don't think Baekhyun has an older sister, but whatever, the inclusion of Chanyeol's couple rings, the two-shot video of Baekhyun in a bathrobe with Kyungoo in PJs, ugh, so good. And the moment of seriousness when Baekhyun realizes that it's more than a bet because he really likes Kyungsoo and wonders why they can't be close.
- We've Got One Thing in Common - teddyescher - AU
- Rating: NC17
- Summary: Kyungsoo receives the number of a new pizza parlour that his two idiot friends, Chanyeol and Jongdae, highly recommend. It's just that the number, as chicken-scratch as it may be on paper, is that of a sex line that Baekhyun handles.
- Verdict: Holy moly, how can it be hot and cute all at once? I love meddling friends and the surprise reveal that Baekhyun has known the idiot duo since high school is too hilarious.
- Work is a Four-Letter Word - chinguline - AU
- Rating: PG13
- Summary: Kyungsoo is the graphics and layout editor for a soon-to-be-defunct magazine and Baekhyun is the help they call in to make sure that their next issue is the one that saves them from the chopping block.
- Verdict: OHHH MY GOSH. I love, love, love the dialogue in this and the interaction between Kyungsoo and Baekhyun is spot-on.
- World from Above, The - sunlit - AU
- Rating: NC17
- Summary: Pacific Rim AU - Kyungsoo is nominated to pilot the new Jaeger 4 and his co-pilot turns out not to be his best friend, Jongin, but a lonely and closed-off boy named Byun Baekhyun. For the few days that they know each other, a perfect neural sync unveils so many similarities in their pasts that they go from strangers to companions almost immediately.
- Verdict: OH MY GOSH. WTF, this is so good. I knew nothing about Pacific Rim, so I was hesitant to start this, but crap, the writing is amazing and the crazily hot attraction between Kyungsoo and Baekhyun as they get closer and closer is breathtaking.
- (You are on my) To-Do List - preempt - AU
- Rating: NC17
- Summary: Baekhyun narrowly misses screwing up the finalization of a business deal and Kyungsoo is his unorthodox boss who demands good work above all else.
- Verdict: Damn, I love a take-charge Kyungsoo. Baekhyun has Chanyeol to help him right his wrong at work, so the reward is pretty hot.
