Kpop RPF with trans characters fic rec list

I’ve been slowly collecting kpop RPF fics with characters written as trans for the past two years, and after sending batches of these links to friends at various times, I thought I should take an evening to type them up into a full rec list.

I am trans and nonbinary and for me all of these stories resonated with some piece of the trans experience in a really genuine way. But, everyone is different, so something that worked for me may not work for you, and vice versa. Take care of yourself around sensitive topics!

I decided to exclude stories that use A/B/O as a metaphor for trans identities, even though there are some stories that do that extremely effectively; that felt like content for another rec list, which I could make, if there’s interest. I also want to add that of course this is a very small sample, I know there are many many more out there, and if I have left off one you think is exceptionally good please do let me know in the comments! Stories are organized from lowest to highest rating, and as always, check the tags before you read <3
