Pls recommand me some exo fics!

Recommended Posts

So i’ve taken an interest in fanfiction this year and i’m looking for very good works with Kai as one of the main characters. Any pairing is fine and it doesn’t have to have a pairing btw, I’ve read some good Kai-centric fics.

 

I have wide taste, I can like anything if the writing is good enough. The characters have to be interesting and not one-dimensional.

I tend to like au! more than canon fics tho. I particularly like dystopian!au, historical!au and assassin/mafia/action!au. Also fantasy/sci-fi!au.

(No PWP please. I can read smut but I’m not really interested in it. Like in movies – one sex scene in the middle is fine, but if the characters fuck all the time there’s no point.)

 

You can take a look at my list of favs to give you an idea of what I like~

Please help me!

I can rec TaeKai and KaiChen..?

 

Not sure if you'd be into that but anyway

 

All the TaeKai by fridaysblues (they also write other Kai pairings)

 

It Feels Better In The Dark is like my favourite KaiChen fic ever.

 

OH and this KaiChen is scifi and good: Twenty Paces Away

There's Quantum of Heartbeat (Sekai), Progressive Education (Kaisoo), that's a classic, Long Distance Nerdship (Kaisoo), That Wasn't the Plan (Sekailu), Pavlovian (Kaisoo), And the Rose Said To Me (Kaisoo).

I'm not sure you'd like any of those, they're pretty canon, but I'm more into Baekhyun centered fics so I can't recommend you more Kai fics.

Maybe you'd like Quantum of Heartbeat the most because it's scifi/dystopia/army!au. And the Rose Said To Me is really well written too, I strongly recommend it! It's from D.O's pov and I guess you could say there isn't really a main character, but Kai is important in the story.

Kaisoo : 

A beast in repose 

Finest thing in history

Came for the early, stay for the late 

Read to me 

All Roads, They Lead Me Here

Altercation 

 

Kailu : Your best day is always ahead

 

No idea if those fics suit your taste (not really action or mafia or dystopian...etc) but I like them :)

if you like mafia!au try to find love dealer in AFF, it's sekai, n the story is goodly written.

 

basically, just try to find FishMeAnEXo and pcyosh in asianfanfic for sekai's goood fanfic and kaspian for good kaisoo fics

 

between lines is good chankai fic

author Kaspian on AFF has good stuff (mainly kaisoo tho) and she has a tumblr account where she sometimes posts writing!!! you also get fanfic rec tumblrs and livejournals dedicated to one person but let's be honest it's difficult scrolling through those :/ recently I've found it hard to find good writing cause I've read everything

Reverse by Jongyeolin

 

https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1008851/reverse-drama-romance-exo-hunhan-sekai-kaisoo

 

It's the first and only SeKai to really hold my interest.

And by hold my interest I mean keep me on the edge of my seat.

Its an AU but not any of the ones you listed.

 

And I think someone recommended Summer Falter already.

(Its good)

 

Still....someone said it. Kaspian is my favorite Kaisoo writer. She is heavy in the Kaisoo flagship lol.

Thank you all, maybe i can add some updates?

 

Since last time i've read

  • Zodiac: very good read, even if i felt the characters lacked some depth. Still very exciting, it's a shame the last chapter will never be updated :( Summer children was also cute.
  • And the Rose said to Me: very creepy, very sad, very good. The writing was A+, i'm sure gonna read the author's other stories
  • And we'll sail for Ithaca: pretty nice read but i kinda lost interest in the second part because it was too long
  • It's still a feeling: same author than Ithaca, very long too but i prefered this one
  • Siren song: meh
  • We'll cast some light: i love the author of this one, but compared to her other stories i felt it wasn't exactly up to par. Still better than most fics tho

 

Reading: the heart where i have roots, A beast in repose, Nocturna Suppressio

I noticed a lot of kaisoo but not enough of other OTPs. 

 

Here are some of my fave for chankai. Most are long FF, but I never found them to be boring as I read it.

 

Chankai: 

The Weight Of the World 

Touch me like you do

Some things last a long time

The heart where I have roots --> should be the most famous ff of chankai imo

No Ordinary Thing is a really good Kai-centered Exo fantasy where they have their powers. It has Shinee in it, too. The writer's chapters are looooooong and she does a lot of world-building and fighting scenes, but her writing his flawless.

hey, i've finally read it and omg it's sooo good. It's a lot like Zodiac but way better imo. But now i feel empty because the last chapter was 3 months ago and i don't know when the author will update :rlytearpls:
