I want bkdk fics where one of them is "straight" at first and struggles to deal with the fact they're attracted to men. I've read some of these but i want more recs cuz i trust what y'all would have read, loved, finished and recommended than tag sorting. thank you!
Fly for Me. Basketball AU, 200k words, amazing story, beautiful writing. It does not lack in any sense of the word. I found it, I read it, I finished it, and I'm still stuck in it's world long after it's done. Arguably the best bkdk sport AU out there? The story is very deep and the development is amazing, it's so good story wise. The characterization is beautiful, might seem slightly ooc cuz of the different circumstances in the au but they still feel so authentic and real. It shows actual struggles athletes deal with and the romance progression leaves me at the edge of my seat. I think this fic deserves way more recognition and I want to recommend it to anyone willing to read!
The only thing I'd say could have been done better was putting more action in the first chapter, it's beautifully written but overly descriptive right off the bat that it might lose some readers before they tet to really experience the fic, otherwise its sooo amazing💕 i really dont want anyone to miss out on the awesomeness that is this fic
