omg AMAZING question. i had to go dig through my bookmarks for this and this list is definitely non-exhaustive bc there's so many but here's at least some (in no particular order):

• https://archiveofourown.org/works/86841176: woolong exes to lovers with professional wrestling and a non-linear narrative. i know basically nothing about wrestling but it's all detailed so naturally and lovingly, and the juxtaposition of past and present is just wonderfully crafted 💚 i love it
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/83110011: ongoing xinxinz, anxin is an alpha that looks like an omega and xinlong an omega that looks like an alpha, they end up as roommates while making the wrong assumptions about each other. it's so so so cute so far but with the potential for so much angst when the reveal comes which is very much my jam (the author also has so many really great stories and they're like almost 10% of the xinxinz tag all by themself 😭 doing god's work)
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/81790096: xinxinz kissing practice -> actual relationship. mutual pining with maximum yearning, maximum cuteness, adorably awkward at times, pretty much canon-compliant. so good. 💚
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/88280221: xinxinz roommates/enemies/idiots to lovers + mutual pining. it's still ongoing but there's SO MUCH really cool styling going on, like it's basically doing a whole social media au inside the fic which is so cool and they're both SO DUMB i love them. athlete's blind spot come back to me 💚💚
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/72732456: woolong as codependent childhood friends featuring oblivious sweetheart xinlong and geonwoo doing unreasonable amounts of scientific analysis on his own feelings
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/80309366: woolong fake dating 💚 specifically fake dating the guy you already find kind of annoying and then accidentally falling in love?? very cute. featuring xinlong overthinking everything. also i read this like the day it came out but i'm just realizing i never commented on it so hey @ kae if you see this ilysm this fic was fantastic 🫶
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/75903406: xinxinz, short and sweet, anxin gets super jealous thinking woolong are in a relationship when they are not
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/86360426: xinlong falling in love with anxin a year into their friendship, anxin's been in love with him the whole time. short and sweet and so SO cute 💚
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/83103216: hyeonlong hookup followed by xinlong freaking out about their 2 year age gap for 20k words while sanghyeon tries his best to woo him (and literally no one else is worried about it it's JUST xinlong overthinking <3)
• https://archiveofourown.org/works/81812251: wonxin isekai au, i normally don't read a ton of wonxin but this hits so many really good tropes. its anxin gets transported into being a side character in a BL manhwa about love across class lines and ends up becoming the main character (tho it takes him way too long to figure it out. it's so sweet and so goofy and so earnest in like that classic ouran style shenanigans kind of way and i really enjoyed it.

i am POSITIVE there are things i'm forgetting and i may come back to this later but off the top of my head this is what i got 👍 thank you for giving me the opportunity to dive down this rabbit hole and ramble about these storeys this was so fun 💚💚💚

omg wait tysm this is so nice of you to say 🥹 you're pointing out so many specific things i was so excited about and im soooo happy it all came across like i was hoping 💚💚 the undiagnosed autism stuff is so important to me; i didn't make it explicit bc xinlong isn't aware of it but like i tried to make it as obvious as possible without outright saying so. like i've referred to this fic before as my "autism thesis statement" lol bc tbh a big part of it is just me going "this is what it's like" in way i couldn't figure out how to articulate otherwise, and anyways aaaaa i'm so glad to hear that came across!!

also i think you might be the first person to mention the aro-coding but yes!!!! that was less intentional in that i didn't plan it from the start but it just felt like a really natural direction when i was trying to resolve his crush plotline and like, idk it's not something that shows up in fanfic too much unless that's specifically what the fic is about really? which does make sense bc a lot of fic is very ship/romance-focused but idk i thought it would be neat to include as just like. a normal thing in the background. it wasn't a huge detail but i'm so glad you were able to pick up on it!!

anyways thank you so much for such a detailed message i really appreciate it 💚💚💚 i'm so glad you liked it! ty for telling me, and i hope you like the sequel too!!!

almost definitely yes! i guess technically i already have 🙈 although that's more threesome than throuple. as a trio they have a way of sneaking into everything i do lol so i'm sure it'll happen eventually.

actually okay- i currently have i think 5? things i'm theoretically working on (it's too many 😭 this isn't even counting the ideas i haven't started) and one of those is definitely aiming for a hxx throuple endgame (although it's probably the least fleshed out of the 5 so idk how long it'll take).

there's also another wip that may head in that direction but i haven't actually decided yet (it's certainly got "ax jealous of perceived hyeonlong", but whether or not i actually close the triangle is still tbd). that one's most likely the next new thing that'll come out (that i haven't already talked about at least) depending on how it goes.

the current plan is to try to finish up kiss like lightning and then ideally 🤞 start posting the hdylm sequel (which will probably run in parallel with some other stuff since it's going to take a while) and then after that it's kind of up in the air rn

but yeah long story short: yes👍

aww thank you so much :) i don't have an exact timeline but i'm hoping to maybe have it ready to start sometime next month maybe? (probably towards the end of the month if i'm being realistic)

i have ~50% of a rough draft, but it's closer to like. half of each chapter than the first half of the story. with how dare you love me i had a much clearer picture of the overarching arc from the start and with this one i know a most of the stops but not the final destination, so i'm trying to make sure i know what i'm doing in the end before i lock myself into anything. but i'm glad to hear you're looking forward to it! dw it's still coming it's just a bit slow :)
