your eyes tell by predebut (16.1k words, 2 chapters) tags: canon-compliant, future-fic, one sided rivalry, developing relationship, light angst

commentary:

• it's in misc because txtha fic: heeseung x beomgyu
• whilst i stan enha, they're not my ults and I don't know a great deal about them, but even so, this is still incredibly gripping - you don't need to know much about enha / heeseung to be able to read this
• the emotions heeseung goes through are just so realistic, and seeing beomgyu in the lens of a non txt member is quite the experience

commentary:

• it's in misc because there's no pairing, it's a character study
• what if beomgyu was taken off the debut team? and the fic is the answer
• it hurts so so much, it's tagged angst with a happy ending but for me, it was angst with a bittersweet ending at the very least.. or maybe i just can't handle seeing the boys not as 5

wishlist by vindicatedtruth (2k words) tags: canon-compliant, fluff, a look at txt soulmatisms

commentary:

• it's in misc because it looks at every single txt ship, a sentence for each
• the author describes it better than i do in the notes, but there is such talent in cutting down a relationship to such few words, whilst retaining every quality within that relationship or situation, and the author does this very successfully - like that itself deserves multiple kudos of its own
• it's so cute, seeing every single txt ship, they truly are each other's soulmates

something, something by etae_confus (1k words) tags: established taegyu, angst, implied/referenced suicide and character death

• you'll know what I mean once you read it
• which you should, don't let the tag scare you, it's beautifully written and very tastefully done
