Reason for reccing: I think telepathy is such a clever way to examine what it is to be in a boyband and this fic has been one of my go-to almost comfort fics for 7 years. It's been left unfinished but honestly ao3 user siderum has fleshed out the world and its characters and the format they use so beautifully I think it's a really worthwhile, fun read.

Reason for reccing: Read this on lj originally and it kind of changed my life. And the way I thought about writing. This is like...the definitive AU to me, within kpop ficdom. It delves into themes I love in such a masterful way and I also think this is the best use of the Inception universe I've ever seen in krpf. But! I think it's as good a read even if you have no idea what inception is. A must-read any way you look at it.
