❝𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭❞ - 𝐒𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐉𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐠 by StrawBezzer

Park Seonghwa was never made for the throne. Kim Hongjoong was never meant to paint him. But when tragic deaths ravage both sides' lives, their paths collide with a shockwave that will have repercussions. Hired as the new king's royal portrait artist, Kim Hongjoong takes the job that was supposed to be his late mentor's. Unable to hide his disdain for royalty, the young artist's relationship with Seonghwa is frigid at best. His Majesty is much the same, keeping mostly to himself for he hides a secret, one that could ruin his fragile rule. As time goes on, something between the pair blossoms during the long hours spent in Kim Hongjoong's painting studio. Something that could cause terrible trouble within Gaul's high court.

Seventeen Maknae Moments by Shiro1022

Being Seventeen's maknae is never an easy job, but having twelve hyungs there to help you get through some of the worst days always helped. Or Lee Chan centric one shots. Warning: Lots of fluff, a fair amount of hurt/comfort and all the chapters are platonic... unless you want to see it as Dino/Everyone, your choice. Cross posted on AO3
