Hi, everyone! Sorry this is late - I had a late flight yesterday and was too exhausted to update by the time I got online. :)

sundayclam
AU, PG
An upstanding junior officer in the Royal Navy with a bright future ahead of him, Cho Kyuhyun's world was upturned and thrown into disarray when he wakes to find his town burning and a pirate ship on the horizon.
QMi pirate verse, what else need be said? Chapter one is here. And while I'm pimping sundaycalm's fics, you should also read this one: Breathe.

2) Fear of Wings
diepi
romance/angst, PG
Kangin pays Eeteuk a midnight visit.
There is a lack of good kangteuk lately. This fic has given me hope that they haven't been thrown to the wayside. It's sweet and just all sorts of lovely.

3) your mischief, my teasing
mirai_nante
pg-13
Zhou Mi's reaction to wigs, high heels, and Kyuhyun singing Gee
This is believable. You know how sometimes you start reading something and three sentences in your brain is screaming "DNW OOC WTF" Yeah. This is the complete opposite. "DW QMI YAY." So well written.

4) Hong Kong, 2009
heartcity
PG
Kyuhyun and Zhou Mi take a trip to Hong Kong, and then some
I love the details in this, and the use of all the little Zhou Mi facts

5) Fall from Grace
coley_merrin
R, AU, historical, romance
Prince Hangeng is abducted while caring for the people that he loves so much, and Siwon is sent to fetch him back. Also some steward QMi

2) Sexy Yoga
sheepieluv
Crack, Smut (Not Graphic) - R/NC-17
Things get strange in Kangteuk's bedroom after Leetuek's dragged to Yoga For Better Sex classes by Heechul.

3) Of Broken Lesson Plans
kimonochi
Smut, Angst, Post Suju Break up AU! - NC-17
Kyuhyun's secret comes back to town and his life is flipped upside down.
This is part ten of a series of linked oneshots (13 so far, and on-going), I loved these series, but this has got to be my favourite part. The smut is hot, but the story is so much better. This broke my heart yet I've reread the entire series 4 times.

4) From the Soul to the Song
kat_elric
Fantasy, Romance, Action/Adventure and the true meaning of AU - R
The story is set with and litteral alternate universe, from where the Dark Ones have come to destroy the very essence of the human soul. But the human race has given birth to a few chosen ones with gifts (known as the Ensouled) to stop the Dark Ones and keep them at bay.
The story is really different and out there. It's out everything you'd like to see in a story. Plus theres awesome characters and descriptions and things just make you so hooked to the story!

5) Black Moral
x-saru-x
Triller, Horror - R (Writer says NC-17)

Surreal and haunting. Gave me goosebumps!

6) 365 Rotations in a Revolution

A very heartwarming piece on friendship and the importance of keeping loved one close.
It makes you appriciate friends and how great it is to have those few close bestfriends to keep you happy.

There are 6 chapters so far, this is an on-going series (linked to chapter 1).

8) That kind of love
redbird_13
Fluff, Slight Angst- PG (Author says PG-13)
HaeHyuk love through a third person POV.
I found this so adorable and the implications of HaeHyuk was just ksjdkjskds.

9) you make me heavenly psycho
forochel
Angst- PG-1
A sad story about KyumMin falling apart and Sungmin trying to deal with it.
So well written! Broke my heart and the EunMin bffery is to die for.

black_goose

1) Pinocchio
fifteen_half
fantasy/AU, PG
Hankyung remembers darkness and pain and fire, lots of fire, and there's not many people who can make him forget that. Hankyung/Heechul
I think this is really sweet, although I'm not too sure...what happened at the end. Anyway, I still enjoyed reading it :D

2) kick me, and other romantic overtures
evaporate
romance/comedy/AU, PG-13
Sungmin plays a prank, with interesting results. Kyuhyun can't figure out whether this is a good thing or a really, really bad one. Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi
I seriously LAUGHED SO HARD when I was reading this. Ah, Kyuhyun's life is so hard, and Zhou Mi is so cute and awesome. I also adore fics with IM conversations inserted, so that was just a double win.

3) And Even My Soul Is Wet
forochel
angst, PG
Sungmin dreams that today is the day China shudders apart and releases Kyuhyun to him. He dreams, and he wakes, alone and lonely and lost. Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi, past Kyuhyun/Sungmin
Remarkably sad, not something I usually go for, but very well done. Pulls at your heartstrings without being over the top.

4) Only 10
naninande
angst/AU, PG-13
They watch the debut of Super Junior on Heechul's laptop, sharing a bowl of popcorn. Hankyung/Heechul
Well this broke my heart. It's a very nice look at what would happen if Hankyung and Heechul never debuted as part of SJ, but what sticks out most of all to me is that even despite not being part of the band, Hankyung and Heechul still stick together and live together.

hotarumyst

1) Only 10
naninande
pg13
Heechul and Hankyung watch Super Junior debut as ten. Hanchul.
Well written, and it's one of those that subtly hits you. she says so much with few words.

simply beautiful. touching, well written; i could shower this in praise forever.

6) Cruel
sketchglitch
pg13

old, but i never get tired of rereading this. she has such a way with words.

7) i understand that to know is not to have
urei_sachi
pg13

evaporate
humor, romance, pg13

loveslipped

1) Persuasion (It's Easy With a Hand Down Your Pants)
corgee
crack, NC-17

It's a fun light-hearted fic that had me laughing at the end.

2) Instinct
todefinebeauty
fluff, PG
Donghae starts daydreaming after a backstage encounter with 2ne1's Bom
It could be completely believable and I liked that.

3) Making Memories (5 moments Sungmin thinks about when Kyuhyun is in China)
teexsaurus
fluff, romance, PG/R
The Kyuhyun Sungmin sees is different than the Kyuhyun everyone else sees. Sungmin remembers their time they spent together to escape loneliness.
The overall sweetness made my heart melt and I would read it again just for that alone.

4) Of Princes of the Sea
fabriclies
PG, fluff
"Once upon a time, there was a magnificent prince of the sea named Donghae. This prince goes through life and he goes and goes until one day, he meets a stupid looking Lee Hyukjae by coincidence."
Very adorable but completely gorgeous and moving at the same time.

5) Block Party
kayevelyn
NC-17
Henry goes to a party and helps a girl out
notinnocent!Henry is super hot and he knows what he's doing. The author's other fics Au Naturel (Geng) and The Producer (Kyuhyun) are hot as well.

6) Seoul from the Sky
hotarumyst
PG-13, fluff
Kyuhyun's enjoying the beauty of Seoul in the afternoon on the roof top when Sungmin joins him
Just really pretty with great imagery. Sungmin spewing poetic lines totally got me ♥ The Kyuwook drabble accompanying this drabble is also adorable!

7) The Secret of Getting Married
blingholic
PG, humor, fluff
“Ha,” Donghae scoffed, “You make me laugh blinger boy. She fell for my charm way before you got into this company as a trainee.”
Hilariously cute. I loved the dialogue.

G
Kyuhyun has always lived an unenviable life. Now, he strives for change.
Simple and sweet with an underlying gorgeousness that tugged at my heartstrings.

9) Kick Me, and Other Romantic Overtures
evaporate
PG-13, humor, romance
Kyuhyun is too busy congratulating himself to suspect that Sungmin's plotting anything sinister.
I LOVE THIS FIC. It is so hilarious and cute and I love the chatting between Kyu and Zhoumi. Everything is just delightful.

zoolooney

1) Wings
dongbangsuju20
drama, AU, angst, PG-13
He picks you up from the street, all broken wings and destroyed dreams.
I absolutely loved this piece because of the style of the writing and the content; and the fic is sad and wistful and strange and wonderful all at the same time.

2) Full Circle
vintersaga
AU, angst, drama, PG-15
An angel roamed the earth for centuries looking for the one thing he can't find in heaven - redemption.
**Hearts** So sad, but a good kind of sad! As the title implies, the fic goes full circle in terms of characters and character connections. I greatly enjoyed the little plot surprises involved, too.

3) gee baby, too close for comfort
onewhomust
Humor, crack, pg-13
How Kyuhyun knows ZhouMi's taste in women, and Geng proving a point to a jealous Siwon (and traumatizing poor Ryeowook in the process).
ROTFLOL These two adorable and humorous little ficlets are absolutely wonderful, and bonus is that they're based on RL events. I love the fact that the links to the infamous pictures are included for the second ficlet. :3

4) apples & cinnamon
hotarumyst
One-shot, romance, fluff, angst, NC-17
The pleasant exterior of a family can be rather misleading, when what lies underneath are secrets that push to emerge over time. As the walls break down around Jongwoon and Ryeowook, they're left with just each other.
Ooh~ a Yesung and Ryeowook family-type fic where they're brothers, but not really. It's sad to see how much the mother breaks down, but through it all the duo stay strong and, after they actually get together, together. I like tracking the changing dynamics between the two, spurred on by the changes that are happening in their lives.

5) Of Cook-Kyu, Cumin, and Kyumin
headless_bex
crack, G
Game-Kyu tries to become Cook-Kyu. FAIL.
LOL! The first thing that caught my attention was the title. Then I read the fic, and being an able baker myself, I find Sungmin's reaction to Kyuhyun's attempts, then his revenge, too awesome. He's like the personification of the "Cute but Evil" Happy Bunny.

6) Sweet Boy
sbluesnow
oneshot, angst, G
Kibum is sweet and forgiving. Changmin doesn't know if deserves that.
While not really focused on a SuJu member, I've always thought that Kibum and Changmin would make a good duo; they're both magnaes in their respective groups, and snarky-witty-smart to boot. This is an interesting short piece, and I love the interaction between Changmin and Jaejoong as the latter tries to help advise the former regarding his feelings for and relationship with Kibum.

7) Bunny Jealousy
truedove_13
Humor, romance, R
Kyuhyun buys Sungmin a pet bunny. He quickly comes to realize that the bunny is the Spawn of Satan. Jealousy leads to desperate measures.
The SWEETNESS! And the HUMOR! LOL. It's so amusing that Kyuhyun is thwarted by a bunny, of all things. And Heechul is the master of advice...sometimes.

8) Henry is Super Junior's Cute Little Thing
redbird_13
Fluff, band!fic, G
Henry is the Baby of Super Junior.
D'awww~! I like how much the Super Junior members baby Henry, despite his being not that much younger or smaller than they are. This is such a cute ficlet (to match Henry ^.~).

9) Waiting
fukurou_hi
Romance, mystery, AU, PG-13
The lantern festival is the only chance he has to meet the one he's been waiting for.
*o* And she didn't even tell me she'd written and posted this... Mysterious romance is right! Names aren't mentioned directly, but you can tell who is who simply by reading the descriptions. Well-written and descriptive!

10) of roads, cakes, and pictures
ha3ngbok
Romance, fluff, AU, angst, PG-13
They are still constantly in one another's thoughts despite their break-up.
Angsty apart, sweetness and fluff together~! KyuMin is one of my original OTPs, and for some reason...this fic reminded me of the Neorago Drama version MV a little bit.

11) China isn't that bad
suzukisan
Romance, fluff, PG
Heechul can't (and doesn't want to) make the annoying trainee ZhouMi go away.
Oooohhh~~ RarePair! I think that this fic featuring Heechul-when-he-was-injured and trainee!ZhouMi is very nicely written; I don't think I've read one quite like this before.

12) 12 months in a year (not 13)
tamyryneradani
mild angst, PG
Kibum reflects on being separated from Super Junior after the calendar photos are released and what he misses most about not being there (DONGHAE).
...:( I miss seeing Suju as 13, nevermind 15. Kibum-introspection is lovely, and Donghae is possibly psychic.

13) Of Altar Boys and Clerical Robes
thundersquall
AU, NC-17
Ryeowook is a new altar boy at the church. Jongwoon is the priest who's supposed to train him
My eyes were bugged out while reading this fic, no lie. It's really hot and only *borderline* blasphemous if that, if anyone is worried.

14) A Trail of Lychees Lead To...
phantompeach
Romance, wee-bit-o-angst, PG-13
How to catch a Henry-hamster...
LOL Donghae for all that he looks spacey is actually quite brilliant! :D! I love the use of the lychee fruit to lay a trail to trap cute little Henry. A few little grammatical errors, but nothing that would really detract from the story.

15) Good Things Cone to Those Who Wait
whatyoudoing09
Romance, smut, NC-17
KiHae Reunion.
FWEEEE~! Now if only an actual reunion takes place along these lines. :3 Sweet and hot at the same time.

16) 3 Fics
twoeyesonesoul
Crack, humor, angst in the last one, PG-13 all
Kyuhyun and Hankyung...and Reyeowook annoying Kyuhyun in the first two. Last one is broken/onesided HanKyu.
The first two ficlets are funny, and interconnected. I'd like to see a followup. The last one...:( Sadness for poor Kyu.

17) Be
everkitsune
Drama, romance, angst, PG-13 all
It's difficult to live in a world that expects you to be a lie
O.M.G. The fic is wonderful, despite evoking such pain at the intolerance used in the fic. It ends...kind of sad, but hopeful too? IDK, just go read (and keep tissues handy).

19) 10 Tricks to Spice Up Your Relationship and Fail
code_ai
romance, crack, humor, PG-13
ZhouMi tries to spice up his relationship with Kyuhyun...with disasterous results.
LOL the link is to part 2 of 2, but you can easily find part 1. **Giggles insanely** See the summmary I wrote? Yeah, you have to read the fic. XD

20) Hong Kong, 2009
heartcity
romance, PG
A confession is birthed from a two and a half day vacation in a city where Kyu dreams and Mi answers.
So romantic, and I really liked reading about everyone elses' thoughts as bystanders, as ZhouMi struggles to figure out a way to confess to Kyuhyun!

21) Its always sunny where you are
evaporate
humor, fluff, PG
It's hot, Kyu's bored, there's a drama on TV, and shenannigans ensue.
Comedy romance, with bonus points for Snarky!Kyuhyun!texts and traumatizing HanGeng. :D!

22) Makeup
xtmeveiz
humor, crack, PG
Horrified Hankyung in Japan with only Demented Heechul for company. Oh noes.
Of obsessions, and cosplay, and Heechul getting his way. Poor, poor Hankyung. XDDD

23) Kick Me, and Other Romantic Overtures
evaporate
humor, romance, College!AU, PG-13
Sungmin plays a prank, with interesting results. Kyuhyun can't figure out whether this is a good thing or a really, really bad one
Fweee~! A get-together QMi fic, with Sungmin being adorably evil, and Kyuhyun obsessed with computers, and MiMi's bubbly personality coming through so very well. I like the KyuMin friendship angle!

24) Colours splayed on a glass door
xoxo_nat_xx
kid!fic, slight angst, fluff, PG-13
Even when you physically let someone in, is the other truly in, or is it all, just a facade?

YehWook-as-kids! The style of writing is descriptive and intriguing, and even though there's no dialogue the fic doesn't need it. Wonderfully characterized and emotional!

25) A Week's Love
dotz_and_piecez
slight angst, fluff, romance, mystery
Kangin, Leeteuk and Hankyung from Super Junior participate in a one week program; and their aim is to be chosen as the perfect boyfriend for the main star of the show, a pretty girl whom they've never seen before. What surprises are in store for them?
LongFic! 25 parts, complete, KangTeuk and HanChul. It's listed as rating PG-13, and for the most part this holds true. Forays into PG-15 a bit near the end.

26) I Will Be Waiting For You
ihsararashi
slight angst, drama, romance, PG-13
Ever since he was little, Kim Kibum has been afraid of everyone that wasn't related to him after witnessing hundreds of dysfunctional and sometimes abusive relationships. But when his brothers decide it's time for a change of scenery and he meets the very sociable Shim Changmin, things just might change for the better.
LongFic! 14 parts, complete. I adore DongBangSuJu fics, and this one is very nicely written, AND features Missing!Man!Kibum. :D Eventually fluffy and romantic, but not without drama and misunderstandings.

1.) kick me, and other romantic overtures
evaporate
humor/romance, AU, PG-13
Sungmin plays a prank, with interesting results. Kyuhyun can't figure out whether this is a good thing or a really, really bad one.
this is basically the cutest thing I have ever read. no lie. cannot rec it highly enough!
(more by this author here)

2.) untitled
mytigerhobbes
PG-13
Heechul on a diet, aimless Hanchul dialogue.
Geng's response to Heechul's crash diet is sweetly believable, and the dynamic between the two of them is refreshing. here's hoping this gets continued as a more substantial piece.

3.) Gravity (10/?)
umberela
fantasy/drama, AU, PG-13
Kyuhyun grows wings, literally, and he quickly discovers it is both a blessing and a curse.
if you've been following this from the beginning, you're probably already staying up with it, but if you've missed it, it's an interesting premise and worth a read. links to previous chapters are in the post.

4.) my world stops with you
thundersquall
fluff, AU, PG-13
when yesung falls, he falls hard.
this ficlet is really just a reflection on Yesung's feelings for Ryeowook in a series of vignettes over time... it's short, cute, and well-written.
(more by the same author here.)

5.) And Even My Soul Is Wet
forochel
angst, PG-13
Sungmin and Kyuhyun are slowly falling apart, and Sungmin sees the signs.
I'm not a big fan of KyuMin pairing, but I thought this fic handled the dynamics of both KyuMin and QMi well, and made the transition believable.

6.) Fall From Grace (5/9)
coley_merrin
historical romance, AU, R
Siwon, a loyal soldier, must rescue Prince Hangeng and bring him back alive, while Kyuhyun must learn to work with a new steward, Zhou Mi.

two flash fics, one kyumin, one kyuwook
just a couple of typically well-written short fics~
(more by the same author here and here.)

8.) fingertips (16/23)
black_goose
drama, AU, PG-13
Hankyung must learn to control something he sees as a curse.
another chaptered fic that a lot of people have probably already been following. if you like mutant!AU and HanChul, give it a read?
(more by the same author here.)

9.) Building From Nothing
coregee
drama, AU, PG-13
the underpinnings of mafia!AU in a series of drabbles, spread out over time.
I'm not 100% sure of the relation of this piece to previous mafia!fics, but I'm curious to know what's going to happen next...

10.) Only 10
naninande
slice-of-life, AU, PG-13
Heechul and Hankyung watch as Super Junior debuts without them.
kind of an interesting 'what if' scenario! perhaps a little bitter-sweet in places.

11.) Breathe
sundaycalm
light fluff, PG
Kyuhyun misses Zhou Mi when he's back home.
this is just really sweet, the last two weeks seem to have been another boom of QMi.
(more by the same author here and here.)

12.) qui es in caelis
blahnicity
angst, AU, PG-13
an exercise in grief
this is something of a sequel to For Thine is the Kingdom, only from Hankyung's point of view.
(more by the same author here.)

13.) Blind / Snowflakes
mawaru_berry
angst, AU, PG
two short fics for the 100 suju fic challenge
both fics are on the sad side, if you're easily depressed, but the author's taken the themes in an interesting way.

14.) Hong Kong, 2009
heartcity
PG-13
This is how a confession is birthed. It starts with a two and a half day vacation in a city where Kyuhyun dreams and Zhou Mi answers.
love the dynamic in this, and the way the other members of M are portrayed is also refreshing and not heavy-handed.

15.) lovedrunk, lovesick
paperfishh
romance/angst, PG
heechul figures that hankyung's happiness is his happiness.
not such a happy ending for this pair, but still a good read~

16.) not sure on whether to include this, since the link's down, but here's hoping the author undeletes :|
reload
loveisonthemenu
drama, NC-17
kyuhyun comes back to the same store, same person.
this fic seems to explain a lot of the pieces that were missing in revolver, its prequel, and takes longer to develop Kyuhyun as a character through his reactions and eventual realizations. I enjoyed it and want it to come back. :/

17.) Eternity
yeonah
drama, AU, PG-13
Kibum watches worlds pass by in his absence.
features one immortal Kibum, chance that throw KiHae together, and a happy, if convenient ending.

not a happy future, but not altogether bleak?

20.) your mischief, my teasing
mirai_nante
fluff, PG-13
When Zhou Mi hears about the Gee performance, the first thing he does is call Kyuhyun, simply to laugh.
this is adorable, and showcases their relationship well without focusing exclusively on the relationship itself.

21.) 365 Rotations in a Revolution
meiface
fluff, PG
October is hard, and Donghae provides Hyukjae the reminders he needs.
gen-ish, but cute--a good demonstration that fics don't have to be sexual/romantic to hit their mark.
(more by the same author here.)

22.) Four challenge pieces
minminx
varies, NC-17
a collection of four writers' choice pieces from the suju fic challenge
aside from the EunHae, these are a few rare pairs, and they're handled well. besides, it's exciting to see someone on the verge of finishing the challenge. ^^

23.) 12 months in a year (not 13)
tamryneradani
fluff/angst, PG-13
Kibum reflects on being separated from Super Junior after the calendar photos are released

24.) gee baby / too close for comfort
onewhomust
humor/slice-of-life, PG-13

SJM doesn't even need fictional assistance to keep the humorous moments coming. still, these are both cute.

25.) Your Best Friend
anakari
angst/fluff, PG
Sungmin has difficulty understanding his best friend.
another fic featuring a less-common pairing, portrayed well.

26.) colouring away flaws
hypnoticlovee
angst, AU, PG
he is like a walking canvas, a beautiful art of grey skies and fallen angels, of the world’s sufferings and lost love.
warning for character death. I'm not sure if the author intended it this way, but I saw Sungmin as the artist and Heechul as the model. this is a very unusual response to this prompt, and I liked the tack the author took with it.

black_goose and yoomie have dropped from our rec team. Thanks for all the work you put in, guys!
