the boy you adore

[kerpingtack]

pls look over these things and be inspired to fic, universe. ty~!


1. The Foundations' Build Me Up Buttercup

Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you  (I need you) more than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart

(cr: rumble for calling this the jongho theme song) I don't want a sad fic though lol ,__, Instead, pls let the outfit take your mind where it may. (lol I'm so curious what the color is. It must've looked amazing under the lights.)

2. Summary: Minho is goal-oriented. Jonghyun is adaptable.

3. ~footballer~/musician AU

Minho as a hot soccer player, Jonghyun as a hot guy in a band. extra good times if they meet already in their occupations and flirt through the media so that each of them have to keep up with the other's interviews and shit to catch in-jokes.

4. 2min, P.I. (reposting bc I still want this)
2min as private detective partners in a noir AU!! Onew is their soft-hearted and world-weary 'in' with the police department. Key is their case as the only son of a powerful politican who has disappeared. JONGHYUN IS MINHO'S INGENUE. Don't question me, this is a perfect story!!111

I understand that Taemin would be terrible (taerrible even) as... most things but it doesn't matter bc his disinterested incompetence will allow Jonghyun to worm his way in as Minho's ad-hoc partner. & obviously I need this to be a rom-com noir.

5. Junghee/Minjung as unlikely friends

“Be my partner.” The voice comes from below Minjung's shoulders, a small girl whose hair smells like a curling iron and has a chest flat as an ironing board. She looks weird in her rolled-up gym shorts, a body too tiny to house this much aggression, and the letters on her shirt spell “Junghee”. The gym teacher yells out orders and girls start to sit down, facing each other, the soles of their sneakers aligned and hands pulling on the other's wrists.

“Gwiboon is a bitch and I don't want to be her partner anymore, ” Junghee explains as she ties up her hair. “So, you should do your stretches with me.” Minjung doesn't really care who she does her stretches with, as long as her hamstring doesn't start aching after the fifth lap, so she lets her finger wrap around the bones of the other girl's wrists and they tug, the symmetry of their motion pulling their tendons into life.

Minjung laps Junghee six times. The last time she hurtles past she lets out a clipped cheer--”Junghee, fighting”--because even if she knows next to nothing about the girl, this is her partner, and she is nothing if not a supportive teammate. And she swears that Junghee almost catches up. Minjung sees what she thinks are woefully short legs, kicking up dust next to hers in her peripheral vision.


Junghee doesn't call Minjung pretty, doesn't comment on how big her eyes are or how shiny her hair is, doesn't say any of the things written in the letters that Minjung gets in her locker. She's gotten used to her shoes smelling permanently of perfume from the soaked envelopes which she, frankly, has no idea how they keep managing to slip in there. These tokens of affection leave her both deeply honored and and deeply red in the face.

Minjung is thankful to Junghee for their gym-class conversations about teen idols and television and things that make her feel like a girl, instead of giant and sweaty from drills and itchy from grass stains. She'd only been close to her teammates before, and they put her on a pedestal so high that Minjung wasn't sure how to climb down and just be friends. But, and Minjung doesn't understand why this happens, she starts to long for some sort of compliment from Junghee. Even a backhanded one, “You run fast, like a boy,” would suffice.

Anything like this. ANYTHING. A N Y T H I N G

6. The Cure's Why Can't I Be You?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue!
You make me, make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

(cr: blingdingdong for speculating that it's jongho's theme song) umm I'm not confident in my lyric quoting skills so pls ~purview~ it on your own. (also omg I'm not linking the music video. it's the first time I've seen it and I can't stop thinking of kpop. it even has blackface!! x___x)

7. BODYSWAP

8. whatever the fuck this is

Consider the following:
1. what are they doing
2. what are they doing
and 3. what are they doing

(btw fuckyeahhohyun's caption: Maybe if they stare at it long enough, it’ll whip itself out and start doing tricks. (Bonus: Minho’s parted lips. Jonghyun’s hand curling into a fist…))

9. Any AU. ANY. I'm not kidding. I will copy+paste jongho into ANYTHING.

10. corset uhhh activities
eheheheheheheh ._________.

11. bros' day out
Meandering pointless friendship fic about how they just hang out one of their days off together (wake up, bother each other, go out to eat, bother each other, go shopping, bother each other, watch a movie, bother each other, have a chill heart to heart over lunch, bother each other, work out at the gym, bother each other, go home & fuck bother each other)
[placeholder for link that I can't find rn bc I'm in a computer lab on campus lol~]

edit @ 11:55am
12. asofterworld remixes from helleixxe/qwiboons

I'm such a sap, I love this lol ;~;

unf flirty games. keysmash all over for the second one especially. (wrt first one: I don't want the possessiveness/jealousy implied, but I like the idea that Jonghyun and Minho have a special hold on one another.)

& they've DONE this already lol but more fic, moar moar MOAR!

!!!BONUS!!!
also reposted:
That outtake thing at the end of Hello Baby ep. 1 made me *O* all across the universe. Minho and Key are arguing about whether not feeding the baby is a crime or something idk and Jonghyun is literally in the middle of them and gets all flustered and tries to stop the argument as dopily as God intended him to, but it works! because Minho laughs at him and Key gets to refocus his annoyance, all ~dis bitch.~ Ohhh my goddd so many things, so many things!! *O*
&
I love seeing how jjong fits into this because he’s so close to the both of them. I don’t think Onew is the type to intervene unless it got Serious and Taemin legit doesn’t care, but jjong is probably all hey you guys don’t fight hey hey let’s go watch a movie. In my head they both complain about the other one to him and he’s all well you know, you have to be understanding of Kibum, he has a hard time blah blah blah and Minho is really fun, you should give him another chance blah blah blah.
&
WHAT I AM SAYING IS there should be a fic with that Hello Baby outtake dynamic, except 10000000 words long and Jonghyun cries somewhere and Minho and Key spoil him in a mean way and they all get married and I am invited to their wedding. <-- how I want all fics to end

someone fucking WRITE THIS OT3 :EEE

[blingdingdong.livejournal.com]

Why have you done this and why did I look at it?

I love all of these, but 5 and 11 especially. I want longfic genderswap so badly...

I hadn't thought of bodyswap - Jonghyun could finally be tall! And nice things can be done with 1! Like Jonghyun feels unloved because Minho's not texting him back, but later Minho's like, "I was busy, but I'm here now, man." idk, lol.

(What the hell was up with that Cure video...)

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

lol idek I was spacing out on the bus (and then in class~) about all the jongho fic I wanted to read.

YOU LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE IT IS JONGHO AND YOU LOVE JONGHO!!!!!1111

godddd I ALWAYS want genderswap and hardly anyone writes it well. ;~; Junghee and Minjung would be such cool girls. & Junghee would have really nice arms!!!

Honestly I don't even know what the bodyswap would entail besides height/dick jokes, lol. but it's cute to think of Jonghyun putting things out of Minho's reach and looming over him etc. because bothering Minho is a greater pay-off than respecting his own actual height, lol.

awwwwwwwwww ommmmg that's exactly what I want for 1 then!! lmao why am I seeing it in songfic form?! I really have to stop going to asianfanfics lol.

I didn't even finish watching that video, I peaced out as soon as I was sure it was blackface. what on earth.

[blingdingdong.livejournal.com]

There must be a way to bribe/trick/kindly force someone into writing it. (I spend more time than I should trying to figure out what Jonghyun would look like if he were a girl, lol. Minho's easy to imagine, though.)

Oh, looming would be so cute! I guess the other thing that could be done with the bodyswitch is that real!Jonghyun has to sing somewhere, but Minho doesn't do it correctly and so Jonghyun exacts revenge in some petty way. And then they make up. (The End.)

OMG it's been so long since I've seen a songfic. I used to love those, lol.

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

lol tbh I don't trust a lot of people in the fandom to do it the way I want. so it'll have to be a very specific trap.

LMAO I spend way too much time thinking about girl!jjong too. He looked awful in their skit but I think he could've been qt with a better wig, lol. And anyway girl!Jonghyun looks like this to me (there's girl!Minho too~):



You could also refer to Amber or that one girl in AKB48 lol.

awww that's true! or Jonghyun messes up Minho's ~flaming charisma~ rap and Minho gives him shit for that. lmaooo omg the dancing would look ridic, Minho would make jjong look Super Serious and Intense about it and jjong would half-ass it. Now I don't know if I want fic about it so much as I want it to ACTUALLY HAPPEN irl so I can videotape it lol.

omg I just found some softerworld edits in my jongho fanworks folder, I'm gonna add them to the post lolol

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

lol forgot to credit, fanart is by ryuoin

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

Actually what I really want is for the original Junghee/Minjung author to keep writing and not stop until there are 100000 words. I love everything about that ficlet (except I don't think Junghee would be slow, unless it was out of laziness lol).

[blingdingdong.livejournal.com]

I love that pic! :)
I agree about that ficlet getting continued, though I'd rather have a college AU instead of a high school one. (Or I could not be a brat and just write one myself. I work too slow to have this many ideas in my head. --;) (And I'm still working on that clothing salesman fic...it's not even that long. XD)

lol. Why isn't bodyswaping real?

The last two asofterworld edits omg. They're so perfect.

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

omg I'm just excited that you're working on it!! ooo I like the idea of a college AU too. or one where they're coworkers. or anything.

I actually recently rewatched a fancam where jjong was committed to the dance; I'm going to watch it again if his intensity is Minho-y lol.

I K R!! they are totally living that last one in real life already lolol

[kipling.livejournal.com]

I totally ship Minho/football, negl. and Jonghyun looks like arm candy in that picture omg, his shoulder against Minho's sterum :( how does he look so little!!

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY that pic looks so coupley. jjong is such a petite stylish girlfriend with his sunglasses and huge ~satchel and the way he's turned in toward Minho. though that might be a slightly different AU. footballer/hot hipster* piece on the side or smth.
*hipster in style/taste ONLY

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

lmao I just found some totally pasted on manips of jongho as soccer players in my jongho fanworks folder: http://i56.tinypic.com/2nsthsi.jpg & http://i54.tinypic.com/2exv60i.jpg

[kipling.livejournal.com]

omg why are you doing this to me! I barely know anything about the Korean natl team, but now I'm just like THIS AU MUST EXIST. I want Jonghyun as the vocalist of a rock band in my life :(

That first asw remix is so them, too ;w;

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

kekekeke yes moar people should want this! this AU definitely needs to happen. I want jjong to be an indie musician and work in retail or as a barista and have a stack of his homemade burned CDs next to the cash register for people to buy ;~~~~~~~;

ikr ugh I love them. & I love jjong's crying face idc idc idc

[kipling.livejournal.com]

I have wanted barista-by-day musician-by-moonlight Jonghyun since the Replay PV, oh my god ;w; the CDs would look so unassuming but he'd probably charm people into buying them for cheap and then they would be so good ; ______ ; daneee

[counttheplanes.livejournal.com]

I knowww!! Cheap jewel cases filled with AMAZING TALENT. ;; and he'd invite people to his band's shows, like anyone, ahjummas and stuff. and on ~stage he'd take requests for songs and sing perfect little snippets from them, like how he was a human juke-box during the Sukira Appa Band thing and he sang the most beautiful THIRTY SIX SECONDS of I'm in Love. BEST/WORST COCKBLOCK OF MY YOUNG LIFE ;~~~;

[kipling.livejournal.com]

He would hum/sing while making everyone's coffee and put his band's flyers in the coffee shop window/message board and get really excited/earnest whenever he talks about his band omg ;w; ;w;

Every time he sings a tiny section instead of a full song I'm like NOOOO WHY DID YOU STOP THERE. Like Be My Brownie on The Muzit, I CRIED WHEN HE STOPPED.
