Day three of DecRecs and I am going off the prompt list already, because I had already thought of what I wanted to write before consulting it. 😅

KinnPorsche The Series contains three romantic relationships: mafia heir Kinn/bodyguard Porsche, mafia heir Vegas (Kinn's cousin)/bodyguard Pete, and mafioso-cum-pop star Kim (Kinn's brother)/high schooler Porchay (Porsche's brother). I have been voraciously reading fanfic for all three pairings since the summer—plus rarepairs! rarepairs are my jam, don't get me wrong!—but my bookmarks still suffer from a dearth of kimchay. I am picky about kimchay because, to my reading, it's not actually a cute ship about a pop star and the fan who gets to kiss him? I mean, there's the lying, and the stalking, and the violence, and all that other good stuff. Don't leave that stuff out!

Anyway, here are some kimchay fics that I liked enough to save, loosely grouped into three categories.

The vibes could be better, tbh

  • lessons in shooting sparrows, by violetsky
    Chay's world has changed completely. He doesn't know what he wants, but he knows he and Kim had a real connection, once.
  • Kotov Syndrome, by majestictortoise
    Part three of an ongoing post-canon series, and nearly got put into the next section, because it's about Kim and Chay starting to work things out between them. This story has enough of Kim being fucked up for Theerapanyakun reasons that I kept it here, however. Includes a conversation about strawberry crĂȘpes that is absolutely canon for me now. (Also, I learned a new chess term from the title.)

The vibes are gonna be all right in the end

  • the kind of superstar that would only steal your heart, by phnelt
    There is stalking! There is Chay coping with being an ex-BNF for his ex-'boyfriend' and being unable to tell his fandom friends why! There is a very sweet explanation for why Kim ended up living out Kinn's childhood dream, and a motorbike ride!
  • A Safe Place, by 99_9
    Again, this fic is part of an ongoing, post-canon, ensemble series, but it stands on its own. It's mostly about Kim growing up as a lonely, anxious kid in a world of sometimes-hidden, sometimes-open violence, and his relationships with his brothers and Chan. I also really like how 99_9 develops Chay and Kim's physical relationship in this series.
  • An Elegant Mechanism, by Laughsalot3412
    An omegaverse canon divergence WIP, which I'm filing in this section for the tags It's gonna be healing all the way down fam, Sit down shut up get loved. The omegaverse aspects of this fic are extravagant, with characters' scents speaking a thousand words in each breath, and alphas and omegas having access to powerful abilities. In KinnPorsche fics in general, I find Porchay can be written as too emotionally well-rounded to be quite realistic; this fic frames his emotional literacy as the mixed-blessing outcome of trauma that's not apparent on the surface, and it's great.

The vibes are downright wretched and it's never going to be okay

AKA the kind of fic I am always seeking for this ship, sorry boys.

  • all I see are wings, by queerebrum
    Another omegaverse AU, two short fics in a series with the potential for more. Kim is not doing well at all in this story, and if he's making it other people's problem, he doesn't care. Read the tags (which include Kim's Canonical Disregard for the Consequences of his Actions and kinn 'disappointed but not surprised' theerapanyakul).
  • Love's a Two-Way Dream, by giraffeter
    "The Kimchay Atticwife Fic." Beautiful prose, a plot as finely carpentered as Nampheung's hidden apartment, and wonderfully observed voices for the two POV characters, Chay and Kinn: this fic is one of the darkest things I have read. It manages both to keep up the tension all the way to the end and to deal with the consequences of the story's events, a rare combination.

That's it! I am always excited to receive fic recs, and this time I am outright requesting them. :)
