about me/notes:

not new to ao3 and have been on here since 2019. i think i've been reading jmj fics since 2023, so i've read a fairly good amount so far. i noticed that it's kinda hard to discover good and well-written fics in this community due to random shit and all the ai trash in the tags as of recent, so i compiled these lists for myself to categorize my favorite works and for others who want some recommendations. another part of why i made this listography is to shoutout some works and authors that are under appreciated in this fandom, so thank you and i love you <3

  • i have some fic recs for my previous fandoms (in my ongoing folder at the top) if you like to check those out too.
  • the other two columns to the right of this will be my extensive jmj fic recs :)

and to the readers, please show your app...

they write so beautifully and their fics always leave me in awe of the aus they come up with and how they execute it. one of my first mindblowing experiences of jmj fics was from warm blood.

fav works: call me, beep me ; the anatomy of a memory ; warm blood ; blondie ; bet on losing dogs

ive been reading their fics ever since 2jin (loona) and their fics have had such an impact on me ever since highschool so this author & their works seriously means a lot to me. their werewolf jmj aus is one of the most underrated works in the fandom PLEASE READ IT AND GIVE IT A CHANCE PLS PLS PLS!!

fav works: i'll spend forever wondering if you knew (i was enchanted to meet you) ; just us a...

  • so this list is going to be for jmj aus that have a different setting and that i think are super creative and something different than the usual modern setting aus (e.g. canon compliant, college, hs,). all of these recs are super well-written and will take you for a ride, so don't be afraid to check these out!

warm blood by yejism (fuwafuwado)

  • tags: au - spies & secret agents

Minjeong bats her eyelashes. “You’re charming me, Miss Yu.”

“Oh, Miss Kim, I wouldn’t dream of it.”

A landmine. A landmine over a landmine over a landmine. Minjeong steps on them, willingly, because she likes the teasing lilt of Jimin’s voice around her name, and suddenly the hours poured into scouring the embassy for morsels of information d...

if we’re not married by this age we’ll marry each other except it’s a threat more than a promise AU

Bravely tackling the age-old question of: What Would You Do if your childhood best friend turned stranger turned friend-with-benefit heterosexual pillow princess turned enemy suddenly shows up as a masc lesbian?

“So,” says Jimin, sounding decisive as she squares her shoulders. Meets Minjeong’s eyes through the mirror. “I’ve been meaning to ask. What is it about me that’s so definitely straight?”

Having her own words thrown back at her inverts Minjeong’s stomach into a sinkho...

i wonder what it's like to be loved by y... by lovesickroses

“Always happy to help! That’s what we’re here for…for the uh…fire stuff and cats stuck in trees you know?” Jimin awkwardly scratches at her neck, still kind of at a loss for words in front of Minjeong.

- Minjeong's cat has a tendency to get stuck in trees. Good thing local firefighter Yu Jimin is there to rescue it!

  • ... can't even describe how precious this fic is to me. like quite literally my life changed when i read this and got so jm...
