| bones of ribbon | 31.8k | aff ao3 | Seulgi was sure of many things, including the fact that she could still be a great mom despite her crazy working hours. It’s only when her only son tells her he wants to take ballet lessons, and only when she meets ballet teacher Bae Joohyun, that she realizes how wrong she was all this time. |
| say a prayer for the broken bones | 23.9k | aff ao3 | Joohyun's neighbor must think she's her guardian angel — that would explain why Seulgi keeps showing up at her window at night for Joohyun to take care of her wounds. Or, in which Seulgi comes and goes, battered and worn out, always to places Joohyun can't follow. |
| keep me warm (it's a cold, cold world) | 7.9k | aff ao3 | It's the late 1960s, in a setting inspired by social changes, when Seulgi begins to discover more about herself that she realizes her neighbor Joohyun isn't as tough as her leather jacket paints her to be. |
| soundproof ◐ | 14.7k | aff ao3 | Irene is deaf, but that doesn't stop her from supporting her best friend's dream of becoming a musician. Or, Irene's feelings were always at maximum volume while Seulgi's seemed to be on mute. |
| invisible string ◐ | 20k | aff ao3 | Joohyun admits – it's not the best idea. She can think at least ten ways this plan can go wrong, but for now, she needs the exposure to draw attention to her next movie, so when the media share pictures of her making amends with an ex-girlfriend, Joohyun doesn't hesitate to take the leap. Except Kang Seulgi isn't actually her ex. She might not even like girls. Somehow, they make it work. |
| tangled up in you | 19.2k | aff ao3 | Joohyun recently broke up with her long-time partner, so she goes to this club downtown to blow off some steam. Her distraction comes in the form of a beautiful brunette, with gorgeous full red lips and fox eyes, who happens to bartend there and has a terrible inclination to bad jokes. She tries not to think too much about that night. It was a one-night stand, and that’s all it should remain as. But when she moves to a new apartment across town about a month later, she finds out not all things happen as planned, and that includes the fact that her cat seems to have taken quite a liking towards her new neighbor. |

| as it was | iccampfire | 5.8k | aff ao3 | Seulgi spots her the moment she walks into the wedding hall. “She’s still so beautiful.” is the first thought that enters Seulgi’s mind. And judging by the way everyone seems to stop and stare, she’s pretty sure that everyone is thinking it too. Or, Seulgi and Irene meet again. |
| falling, in moonlight | goldfinchex | 4.3k | aff ao3 | "from the second that seulgi lays eyes on her, she thinks that irene is a goddess. she is not wrong." or: seulgi was running from the world and she never expected to find a fragment of a goddess before she becomes whole again. |
| you trace the stars in the darkness | goldfinchex | 5.8k | aff ao3 | they search for each other, an adagio through different lives and deaths, circling in a slow dance before they finally find each other again. or: a multiple lifetimes fic that no one asked for, sprinkled with references to black mirror, greek mythology, etc. |
| sometimes, you're another world entirely (but you're my world) | goldfinchex | 7.5k | aff ao3 | Joohyun and Seulgi have been together for years but they too have issues to deal with. | A canon verse + established relationship fic. |
| dog days of summer | goldfinchex | 3.4k | aff ao3 | It's summer, and Seulgi's dog plays matchmaker. |
| you set something afire | goldfinchex | 1.5k | aff ao3 | “Hey, does anyone own a blowtorch that I can borrow?” |
| i think we'll go down in history | pyrefly | 7.7k | aff | In a world where people get red tally marks on their wrists whenever they fall in love, at twenty-one-years-old, rising choreographer Kang Seulgi has yet to receive a single tally mark. She has a clean wrist, and wishes that things were different. Or, Seulgi just can't figure out what she's doing wrong, and she certainly is not ready for Bae Irene. |
| hey now, this is my desire (consume me like a fire) | pyrefly | 8.5k | aff ao3 | In which Joohyun spends her trainee days wearing purple, and Seulgi doesn't like the bitter taste that rises in the back of her throat every time she sees the color. Or, Seulgi begs Joohyun to stop looking over her right shoulder as she pleads for the older girl to look her way just once. |
| but darling, you are the only exception | pyrefly | 4.3k | aff | All Irene remembered was that Seulgi, who had been her lab partner at the time, had been complaining about how she hated the dorm rooms, and Irene had opened her mouth without thinking.

| where there's a will, there's a way, kind of beautiful | pyrefly | 3.1k | aff | Irene stares at the newly engaged couple with something foreign in her chest, like she's watching a car crash— it's a close second to everything she never expected to see, willed that she would never have to see, but somehow, she can't look away.

| it shines brightly (again for the rest of our lives) | pyrefly | 9k | aff | When she's first offered the role, Joohyun isn't really sure what to think as she stares at the crisp draft script in her hands. She runs a thumb over the margins as she chews on her bottom lip, sifting through the venn diagram of pros and cons over in her head. But if there's one fact here, this isn't the type of role she ever thought she'd be offered. A film about five young females chasing their dreams to become international K-Pop idols? Not Joohyun's usual gig. Or, Bae Joohyun's never been an idol before, and neither has Kang Seulgi. They make it work. |
| our inscriptions of forever | reveland | 7.3k | aff ao3 | Seulgi used to dream of different scenarios on how she'll meet her soulmate. This? This is definitely not one of those. (And by this, she means getting unceremoniously slapped in the face by a stranger in a club during her perfectly stress-free Friday night.) |
| of sketchbooks and fabric softeners) | reveland | 3.3k | aff ao3 | "Excuse me, sunbaenim, but do you happen to know the brand of the fabric softener used for your shirt?" Seulgi blinks and wonders, for a beat, if this is how people flirt these days. |
| all roads lead to you ★ | reveland | 8.5k | aff ao3 | She turns her attention to the cake that suddenly looks so unappetizing and wonders if this is how it feels to be heartbroken. Not that her heart has been whole all this time. It hasn't been whole in a while, she thinks, not since she met Seulgi. |
| your abstract concept of gravity ★ | reveland | 8.8k | aff ao3 | "W-what do you think you're doing?" she stammers out as Irene pushes her against the wall, one hand wrapping around her waist and the other around her neck. "Shut up and play along." (seulrene thief au) |
| sweet enough | xiaojiajia / malingshu | 4.2k | aff ao3 | In which Seulgi wants to swoon the beautiful barista at the coffee shop and her friends may or may not be helpful at all. |

| box of souvenirs | thebitterbi | 4.9k | aff ao3 | “Just be honest with her. That’s the least you could do.” So Seulgi tries to be honest that same night. But it turns out everything is easier said than done. And lying is easier than telling the truth. "I'm in love with someone else," Seulgi lies. Because that's acceptable, easier, much better. "I don't want to keep seeing you anymore, Joohyun." |
| slowly, steadily ★ | nakokonaoko | 5.5k | aff | mc irene and seulgi of 4 member girl group, red velvet, are rumoured to be dating. |
