BL Reclist - Part 2

Happy Friday friends! I had a blast putting my first BL reclist together a couple weeks ago and the lovely @blue-inigo encouraged me to do a part 2 so here it is! Once again this is a mix of Korean titles I’ve discovered recently and some good old Japanese BL I revisit often. I kept this short and sweet because I can only include 10 pics per post but I’m considering a Part 3 with some ongoing stories I’m currently following (there’s a couple on this list but they’re a bit more advanced). Now I’m revising it I realize this second list is considerably angstier than the first one, and almost all of these include potentially triggering themes (marked with an *) so please check the tags and stay safe! If you’re looking for gorgeous art, hot smut and top notch (if sometimes quite problematique) drama you’re at the right place! Enjoy 🔥

1. *December Rain by Kimon (Explicit, Completed)

Tragedy :( gimme catharsis or give me nothing!!

Fresh out of the army, Suchae decides to take some time off and travel around the country by himself. On the first day of his trip, he spots a guy who looks totally his type at a rundown bus terminal. The only problem is, it’s the same guy who was jerking off in the bathroom 5 minutes ago. Despite the possibility of him being a creep, however, Suchae is drawn to the mysterious stranger. He finds everything about him...arousing. Who is this stranger? And why is he on the road?

2. Joy by Etsuko (Mature, Completed)

Not my fave art-wise but a surprisingly deep bi awakening story, MC is cute and SO relatable

Goh Akazaki is a 26-year-old man...who happens to be a shojo manga artist. His assistant is Yusuke Akune, who happens to be a mangaka in his own right. But when Goh accidentally finds out that Yusuke is gay, he's thrown for a loop—what else about his friend doesn't he know? And when Goh is asked to draw BL, he tries to pry into Yusuke's experiences for inspiration...but when he is ultimately inspired by the idea of "unrequited love for Yusuke," can he keep his own feelings out of the mix?

3. NightS + Reply by Yoneda Kou (Explicit, Completed)

I’m so biased about Yoneda Kou’s Yakuza stuff, everything she creates is an instant fave

NIGHTS: A Yakuza comes to request the services of an specialized transporter that takes care of delicate and illegal merchandise. It seems this transporter is quite picky about his clients, stating that he doesn't belong to any group; you can't trust yakuza. However he gets interested in this transaction and in the mysterious man that is negotiating it.

REPLY: Seki is head mechanic at a car company in which Takami is the top salesman. After a chance encounter at work that involves Seki taking care of a spot of bother for one of Takami's clients, the two begin meeting regularly after work to dine together. Takami soon admits that he thinks of Seki as a good friend. Seki, however, knows that his own emotions are somewhat more complicated.

4. *Nights Before Night by Kazuki Natsume (Explicit, Completed)

Sequel to MODS, I suggest reading both for full context but I prefer this story

It's been a long time since Haru, owner of the gay escort service "Rain," left his yakuza days behind. But when the Ichijo clan, the group he had once belonged to, says he's the only civilian they can trust to hide the clan head's troublemaking son Yukitaka in line, there seems to be no choice for him but to follow suit. There's just one problem, though - Yukitaka looks just like his half-brother Shigure, Haru's lost love.

5. Pink Heart Jam by Shikke (Explicit, Completed)

Long-haired one is the prettiest and coolest BL character I’ve ever seen

Country boy Haiga has many questions he wants to learn the answers to when he moves to the bustling capital for his university life - and one of them happens to be, "do I like guys, too?" When his upperclassmen dare him to check out a box spa behind Shinjuku's Nichoume District, Haiga uses this opportunity to find out the answer to his question - and runs into his senior Kanae, who has one simple solution for him - clothes, off!

6. *Steel Under Silk by Snob (Explicit, Ongoing)

BREATH!!! TAKING!!!! ART!!!! A+ problematic smut meets nuanced historical drama, love it

Yeonjo used to have it all: a highly respected family, a kind brother, and a comfortable life. Now, with his father executed for high treason, his last kin dead, and damned to a lifetime of slavery, Yeonjo has nothing to lose. All that is left is vengeance, and his chance comes when the new governor assigned to the region is none other than Kwon Hee-ryang, the man who destroyed everything Yeonjo loved. Now, Yeonjo will do everything to get his revenge…even if it means getting in bed with his greatest enemy. Hiding a blade behind his beautiful smile, like silk hiding steel, Yeonjo waits for his moment to strike.

7. *The Pizza Delivery Man and the Gold Palace by U-pi (Explicit, Ongoing)

Came for the hot guys, stayed for the excellent depiction of mental health issues.

Woo-won is a pizza delivery guy down on his luck, and Seo-an is wealthy man suffering from panic attacks and social phobia. You wouldn’t think these two would have any reason to get to know one another, but one small kindness leads to a series of encounters that bring the two men closer together than either of them anticipated. Maybe they can find the solutions to their problems together…or perhaps they don’t need solutions, but simply each other.

8. *Walk on Water by Jang mokdan / Jaxx (Explicit, Completed)

Two hot porn daddies actors falling in love 🥵

Starring in gay porn was never on Ed’s bucket list. He’s straight, he’s not an exhibitionist, and he has a decent career in security. That said, he also has a debt that he’s been working to pay off for years now, and he can barely keep up with the accruing interest. If having gay sex in front of a camera is the way to digging himself out of this pit, then he’s willing to be filmed for that money shot. But when he meets Glenn, the charismatic CEO of a gay porn production company, Ed finds himself falling into something much deeper than financial debt.

9. Wolf in the House by Park ji-yeon (Mature, Completed)

Hilarious & sweet, with the most intimate sex scenes I’ve ever seen! Feel-good story 👇🏼

After ending an on-again, off-again relationship of 10 years, Minsuk decides to foster a Siberian husky named Bexan to mark the start of his new single life. He can’t wait to cuddle with his new furry roommate, take him on walks, and play fetch. But Bexan is no ordinary dog...and when night falls, Minsuk is in for a surprise.

10. *Yuuutsu na Asa by Hidaka shoko (Explicit, Completed)

Another problematic historical drama, good old master/butler classic

Upon his father's death, Akihito Kuze became a viscount at the age of 10. His smart, handsome young butler Tomoyuki Katsuragi has since managed all affairs pertaining to the viscountcy perfectly. The talented and charismatic Katsuragi is very popular in their social circle; but as Akihito grows older, he becomes colder and more distant by the day - though still as faithful to the Kuze household as he has ever been. Akihito is now a young man, and desperately in love with Tomoyuki. He’s determined to discover the reason behind his butler's inexplicable behaviour, and this is where their story begins.

Share a song that makes you think of [fic title]

Time Begins fic: Superbloom! I imagine "Your Man" by Down With Webster is just running through Casey's head this entire time. Down absolutely atrocious, dealing with it like a frickin loser. Except for when they start making out in the subway then it's "Sweet Child O' Mine" but Guns N' Roses lmaoooo

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

GOD. Let's say three: the 4th line haiga, the FTH fic, and the trans Roope Hintz fic. However, I opened up an Untitled Document for purposes this afternoon, threw four sentences in it, and then closed it again. This is how many of my wips in my wip folder go. The other thing is that I have many, many, many fics in my WIP folder but only a few of them may ever make it onto the ol' Archive of One's Own. Oh and I want to hit up the Thomas Bordeleau picks up fiber crafts for his agonies fic again now that I've taken a psychological break for several months, but that's a later problem. Also been staring at the minor leagues prompt for time begins...pondering...

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

Kai Correa omegaverse 😭😭 also something with Sean Manaea and Kai Correa bc. "put him in a laundry cart and took him into a back room". it is an image that burdens me psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, physiologically-

Este chiste es muy interesante...... it was explained to me as Ungenio being corrected to say "haya" instead of "haiga" in the same vein as correcting someone who says "ain't". But then he gets it mixed up with the word "galletas". This joke does not translate well at all

How to give birth to your poem or in hard labour again

There is a situation, a feeling, a photo, music or even a writing prompt that startled you

Do a mind map. Dot down everything that crosses your mind

Have some fun and start playing: try different words, change the lines back and forth, try different poetry forms: haiku, monoku, tanka, gembun, haibun, haiga, cherita, nonaku, haynaku. Ask yourself which poetry form suits your poem best.

Don't overthink.

Date it.

Come back to it later. Do some editing: add more words, get rid of superfluous words, change the lines usw.

Read it aloud.

Consider submitting your poem. Where would be the best home for your poem? 

Submit!

Let it go!

Start birthing a new poem

Let's have an exemple about the process. Like everything I do change and so some books I cherished before were no longer of great importance for me. So I decided to put them into a box with a label saying that they are for free. I came back into my home with a strong feeling of renewal but there was also a spark of melancholy because I must move on and never get back to the person I used to be. 

I started writing a 2-line-haiku.

books for free

the snake is shedding her skin

But it wasn't exactely right. The main focus was on the renewal and the snake so I decided to get rid of the books a second time and include the feeling of melancholy by adding the word rain. Because I felt that what was ahead was renewal I let it be a warm summer rain. Then I transformed the poem into three lines with a clear break between line 1 and 2.

summer rain

a snakes shed skin

in the grass

I liked it better this way, but I was not satisfied. I started with books, never saw a snake and what was essentially true in this poem was the pain and joy because I was transforming into something new. And even if I was changing, this change was slow so the whole process felt like a continuum and not like a hard caesura. The next I tried was a monoku. I got rid of superfluous words (the snake, some articles) and when I read it for myself I liked the sound. Round and perfect like a polished river pebble in my palm.

summer rain old skin shed in the grass It was published in June 2023 on Poetry Pea Podcast and will be forthcoming in Poetry Pea Journal in July.

Maple Trees . . . . . Leaves dance in the wind, to echoes of autumns past Colours fade with time [] In my previous post I mentioned that those of us living in North America are blessed to witness Mother Natures annual fiery tapestry. The stars of the show are the Maples dressed in there finest Autumnal hues. [] It got me thinking, how long have Maple trees been around. It turns out just over 60 million years! [] Then I wondered what those ancient maple-filled forests must have looked like. Were the Paleogene fall colours as vibrant as today’s or more-so? [] I found the posted link (see my comment) and I have to say it’s a long read for someone who isn’t a dendrologist. However, it’s still worth it, as it provides us with some important thoughts on whether maples, that have survived millions of years of adverse climate change will adapt, survive and still be around for our kids, our grandchildren and beyond.

The King wasted no time. After getting you back, he immediately scheduled the coronation, as he couldn't wait to call you his Queen. The Castle was in a frenzy, the sound little frog feet slapping against the marble floors echoed in every division. Seonghwa refused to have the coronation in the same room where he got married, he didn't want to re-live the awful moment when his wife got stolen from him... So the maids and butlers found new decorations, moved the paintings and transformed another one of the King's dark and cold rooms into a place worthy of a welcoming party.

"Let's do it in the throne room. Place her throne by my right." He had said.

The tradition was for the throne to be moved in front of everyone present, so they could witness the changes and their new reality first hand, but Seonghwa was a little tired of following tradition.

You and him stood in the middle of the throne room, with every single maid and butler running around frantically, trying to get everything done on time. You looked on proudly, enjoying the way it was all coming along.

The excess of red and black was gone, it was now balanced with white and gold, and with the new paintings and lights giving the room a new life it looked like a completely new place. The blinds behind the throne were finally opened, revealing the most beautiful stained glass images. There were four people, who you assumed were Seonghwa's family.

You reminisced the first time you had come to that room, panting and confused, standing in the dark, cold room being judged by the merciless man Seonghwa once was. The contrast was almost unbelievable, but you were glad you had gotten this far.

You felt a pair of arms wrap around your figure and a chin on your shoulder.

"I'll have it replaced. First, just the two of us, and then, once we have our little prince, or princess," he paused, caressing your stomach, where you'd carry your future child "I'll have it replaced once more, with a full picture of our family."

He kissed your cheek and you smiled.

"But Seonghwa, are you sure you wanna take down the picture of your family?" You questioned, feeling honoured yet a little wrong, replacing the original King and Queen.

He stood straight, and his cheerful expression was immediately replaced by one of pain and confusion, remembering all of the memories alongside those people.

"Why not? They have given me nothing but a lifetime of suffering, you have given me nothing but happiness and a chance of redemption. You deserve to be up there, immortalized, as a part of the new Royal family."

"Thank you..."

That was all you could say, as there were no words that could possibly describe how you felt.

One of the maids stole you away from your husband for a second, so you could change from the dirty, ripped-up wedding dress for the new ceremony. She helped you switch to a princess-style dress, all in red silk. The revealing heart-shaped neckline was covered with black lace, that extended all the way to your hands and wrapped around your index finger.

"You look lovely, Miss." The maid said as she fixed your hair.

You thanked her with a small smile and headed towards the throne room. Usually, it would be packed with people, but due to the previous altercation, the only people attending the coronation would be the castle staff, aside from the knights who were assigned to protect the castle during the event.

You carefully sat on the throne, feeling Seonghwa's eyes (or... eye) inspecting you. He leaned over, so he could whisper in your ear.

"You look marvelous in red."

He sat back straight in his throne and smiled at your shy expression. A tall man soon entered the room holding two boxes. He opened one of the boxes and slowly (and carefully) placed the crown on the King's head. It was exaggerated, yet classy and sophisticated like Seonghwa. You could tell it had been specially done for him.

"We shall now begin the coronation of Miss Y/N." The man announced.

He opened the box in front of you, revealing the most beautiful, victorian crown. It was made up of white gold and adorned with the most beautiful red and white stones.

"I hereby declare, by the powers given to me by His majesty Park Seonghwa, the new Queen of Wonderland, Queen Y/N."

The man slowly placed the crown on your head, and it was a perfect fit. He stepped away so the painter could see your smiling faces, as he immortalized the moment on a canvas.

The castle staff smiled and cheered for you, their new Queen.

"Bring her!" The King shouted, and the whole room froze.

The thought on everyone's mind was 'Who's her'.

The heavy doors to the room opened, and a chained woman, dressed in a black cape with her white, disheveled hair showing stepped in, with the help of two guards.

"Unchain her."

The guards obeyed the King, and unchained the woman, who rotated her wrists with a sigh of contentment.

"Finally, what do I owe the honour, Sir?"

The crowd in front of you looked on, petrified. Who the fuck was she?

"Undo the room." Seonghwa commanded.

"Hm there have been some changes, I see." The woman said, her voice cracking mid-sentence.

She looked at you, with her bright purple eyes, sending a shiver down my spine.

"Yes, there have. Now please do as I asked."

"Very well Sir."

The woman removed her black cape, revealing a small, crooked young-looking woman. She lifted her hands in the air, creating a small green fog in her hands, that she aimed at all beings in the room. The people, who were previously humanoid frogs, were turned back into their original form. Tears of happiness formed in everyone's eyes and cries of thankfulness echoed in the room. One maid approached you and knelt by your feet.

"Thank you... Thank you so much!"

You recognized the voice, it was the maid that had thanked you the other day for staying with Seonghwa, and the one that usually helped you dress. You smiled and held her hands.

"No need to kneel around me Miss, thank you for your hard work."

She bowed to you as she walked back to cheer with her peers.

Seonghwa stood up and held out his hand for you to take, and so you followed.

"Iracebeth, follow us. You two," the King said, looking at the two guards who had brought the witch "make sure everyone is gathered at the town center by the time we arrive."

The guards nodded and immediately headed out. Seonghwa took your arm and started walking with you, headed to the town center, you guessed.

You looked behind you to look at the witch, that stared at you with a sinister expression.

"Are you sure it's safe to bring her along, won't she like... curse you? You know, for keeping her locked up?" You whispered.

"Oh, no that won't be an issue."

You tilted your head to the side.

"How come?"

Seonghwa blushed, embarrassed to recall what he had done.

"Well, I tricked her into falling in love with me so I could get her to cast a spell on herself that would only allow her to cast the spells I request her to. I then locked her in the dungeon because I didn't want to deal with her constant crying and blabbering about how I tricked her, that's probably why she's looking at you like..." He glanced over at the witch "... like that."

You hit his arm.

"Park Seonghwa!"

"Ow! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I regret doing it but if I undo it now it could have severe consequences, not only for me but for you too. And we can't have that."

You sighed and nodded. It's true that it was cruel, but you didn't want any consequences headed your way, you'd had enough.

You stopped in front of a black and gold carriage, the one that would take you into town. Seonghwa helped you get on and then sat beside you. The witch rode in front of you, her creepy smile and envious eyes staring into your soul the whole ride. Seonghwa held your hand tightly, also feeling uneasy by her presence.

"We're here, Sir."

Seonghwa took a deep breath. You could tell he was nervous, as all of the people from the Kingdom looked at the carriage, expectantly. You kissed his cheek and held his hand tighter.

"It will be okay." You assured him.

Seonghwa smiled softly and exited the carriage, alongside you and the witch. The expressions of the people once they saw the witch were the same as back in the castle, and they braced for the worst.

The King said nothing, he only turned to the witch and said 'do it'.

Once more, she cast the spell, that supposedly returned them to what they once were, but it didn't go as planned. Some people returned to their original state, but the ones who had turned from animals to humans, not so much... Some had the luck of being completely turned back to who they were, others were left hybrids, mixes of animals and humans. You found Cheshire, still as a human, happily playing with his ears and tail, and Haiga, the Hare, jumping about with his hare feet about the return of his long ears. It didn't take much for those two to be happy. There was a mix of emotions among the crowd, however, some people that had married into families who were previously human, were happy they got some of their old life back and they would still be able to maintain their relationship, others were sad (and mad) that they would never be able to return to whom they once were.

"What happened!?" Seonghwa whisper-yelled to the witch.

"The curse has been cast for far too long, I wasn't able to undo it completely." She explained, ashamed of her own skills.

"People, I apologize," as soon as he spoke those words the commotion calmed down, and everyone seemed shocked. The King? Apologizing? "it seems the curse has gone on for too long and is irreversible in some cases. I ask that whoever has been affected attends the castle tomorrow so I can offer a proper compensation for all of the damages caused, that would be all."

Can’t an Idol Fall in Love? (Sara) Honeyworks Novel Prologue

Disclaimer: Yo yo yo, I’m back with my bullshit. Sorry it took so long to get to here, I have lots of stuff going on. So I’ll start off the usual with I’m in no way a professional translator! So please take it all with a grain of salt!

Masterlist here

“Each person who is auditioning will get up in order, introduce yourself, do your assigned song and dance, and toss your bouquet to the audience at the end. Does everyone understand?”

The sleeves of the black curtains were spread, and in front of the curtains were teenage boys lined up. Egg Records, which the famous vocalist Hanon belonged to, was the one holding the auditions. It was time for the final examination.

“You’re not nervous at all.” A voice called out to him as Toujo Sara bit back a yawn. One of the participants was looking at him. His name was Shirayuki Fuuma.

“You’re standing out so much too...that’s amazing.”

“I guess.”

“I have to learn too!” Fuuma smiled.

Sara stared at Fuuma, who was grinning as he spoke.

(I can’t tell his faults...)

That’s why-

“Hey, sorry to ask, but why are you dressed like that?” Sara asked. Fuuma was a male, but he was dressed with a wig and a skirt. It stood out more than Sara and attracted a different kind of attention. “It’s fine if it’s a hobby or something, but it may affect the judging? Since it’s an audition for male idols, you know?”

“Well...this is me. I want to fulfill my dream as an idol with this image!” Fuuma’s smile was bright for a moment, and it seemed like he was perfect for the stage.

Sara was surprised by his clear answer, though.

“Oh, it’s my turn now. Here I go..!” Fuuma ran to the stage at the staff’s signal.

💞

“The ones who pass are Shirayuki Fuuma-kun, Toujo Sara-kun, Nemuri Kippei-kun, Haiga Kazuki-kun and...Mameido...eh, what is this...oh! Mameido Girisha-kun!”

The auditon was over, and the organizer listed the names of those who passed. The ones who did started cheering. Sara, though, raised his hand.

“Sorry. I decline.”

Four other people had passed, and those four were really noisy.

“So...I’m going home. Thanks.”

“What’s the problem, Toujo-kun? Why are you leaving? Why did you apply?”

“Because I needed to.”

“But don’t you want to be an idol?”

Sara thought for a moment, then shook his head. “No.”

“Ehh!?”

“Please excuse me now.”

“Hold it!”

Sara only bowed passed by the other participants.

“...Hey, are you okay with staying defeated?” A voice asked quietly.

Sara turned around, seeing the participant Haiga Kazuki speaking to him. He was staring at Sara with a kind expression.

“Who am I losing to?” Sara quipped. He knew he was good at singing and dancing. His father was a famous musical actor, and his mother was the daughter of a top opera company. From the time he was born, he took lessons, following the heavy expectations of his parents, forced into singing, dancing and acting.

In fact, Sara made his debut as a child actor at the mere age of five. He already released a CD with his own songs. Even here at this audition, Sara was the one who made the audience the most excited.

He knew the best angles, which smile to give, what words he needed to say and how to say them. He performed as easily as he could breathe.

There was nobody he could possibly lose to.

“Well, Fuuma.” Kazuki said quietly, so only the two of them could hear.

(Fuuma. Shirayuki Fuuma. The boy in the skirt!)

Sara tried to laugh through his nose, but couldn’t. He recalled a girl in the audience when he had stood up on the stage. She wasn’t looking at Sara like the rest of the excited audience. She was watching Fuuma leave the stage, despite his turn being over.

Those glittering eyes that didn’t seem to blink.

She was neither fashionable, nor beautiful.

Even so, Sara was curious. Nothing but Fuuma was reflecting in those eyes of hers, and she didn’t even really look in Sara’s direction. When he tossed his bouquet, the crowd reached for it, but she seemed to only be reaching out to Fuuma.

(Somehow, this is really annoying me...)

“Chairman-san, he said he won’t be declining after all!” Kazuki said with a smile, waving to the judges.

“What? I didn’t say anything like that...”

“Everyone’s friends from here on out! Let’s do our best together!”

Sara looked at the person who’d reached out to them- that Shirayuki Fuuma.

(I lost? To this?)

While thinking about it, he was dragged into the circle of applicants who’d passed the audition.

“W-wait!”

“Let’s get excited!” Fuuma’s shoulders were pressed against Sara’s, and on his other side, Girisha’s strong build was pressed to him.

“Passing ain’t the goal here! This is just the start!” Girisha cheered.

“Y-yes!” Kippei seemed a bit terrified of Girisha’s loudness.

“We’ll do our best! Hey, hey, hoh!”

Everyone joined in on the cheer after Kazuki, shouting “Hey, hey, hoh!”

“And...no one’s listening...” Sara grumbled. They probably didn’t feel like listening to his complaints.

The judge didn’t let Sara escape, either.

April, 20XX

A new idol group of five affiliated with Egg Records was just beginning. It was a group that gave everyone a feeling of excitement, and wrapped them up with soft and sweet singing voices.

By audience vote, the group name was called Dolce.
