Kim Dokja: king of aliases
[ORV Fandom Wiki, Kim Dokja’s page]
In a world where the scenarios never happened, a different kind of calamity plagues Seoul. Doppelgängers roam the streets, and have done for decades, forcing the world to adopt strict security measures- or risk your flesh being stolen, in more ways than one. Doormen are tasked with putting themselves on the front line to protect ordinary citizens from this threat, and Kim Dokja unwittingly finds himself as one such doorman.
It’s a thankless job, and when Dokja’s building welcomes two new residents, he finds his job only gets more complicated the further he becomes entwined within Yoo Joonghyuk’s life.
A story of hapless, stupid love, in an apocalyptic world that stubbornly refuses to fall.
*looking disdainfully at orv top kudos page* kdj doesn't even fucking hate himself in these
anyway, have you made a fic rec post? I would love to see some well characterised orv fics but I don't know how to find them and you are the only person who knows hsy personally through prophetic visions :DD
i have not made a general orv one! im honoured you trust my taste enough to ask though honestly i'm not the biggest kim dokja angst fiend so im unsure if you'll get what youre looking for. still i'll give it a shot
i am the dreadful need (and the devotee) - i have recommended this before and i'm doing so again. a vaguely orpheus and eurydice inspired story focused on the inevitability of looking back. it's technically yoohankim but mainly a sort of yoo joonghyuk character study that i highly enjoyed
The Act of Creation - a post-epilogue tranfem yoo joonghyuk fic that is a fandom classic (to me at least) by my dear mutual! a very sweet fic and a good extrapolation of many of the trans themes/moments in yoo joonghyuk's story
The cough that won't go away - an adorable hanahaki au ( i shant spoil who between) set about 10 years post epilogue. made me laugh a lot and captures a lot of the warmth in the relationships in kimcom
the false last act - top 10 fics that make me wanna puke and throw up and die and kill myself and die again. slash pos. really good epilogue fic!!!
The Scars of Dreaming - a fic centred on conversations between oldest dream and kim dokja carried out over a period of time as they both try to adjust post-epilogue.
and you will find your way in any given storm - thee na bori/lee jihye fic as far as im concerned.
what the living do - another good epilogue fic. epilogue fics tend to be a favourite of mine im realising.....what can i say im fascinated by that time in their lives and i think this fic portrays it well
Moments that the Words Don't Reach - another epilogue fic this time focused on han sooyoung taking care of yoo mia after yoo joonghyuk leaves for space. when i say this devastated me beyond belief i am not joking. i will be thinking about the scene on the subway forever and ever
a couple general author recs are:
stuffandsundry has a lot of good fics but i especially recommend this selencroft fic, this 0th turn fic, and this 999th lee jihye fic! theyre all short oneshots that capture moments of relationships in orv that make my heart hurt
namci is another i recommend, they have a lot of good oneshots that i think i've recommended before. alternatively making me cackle and nod thoughtfully at character analysis. i would especially suggest this yoohankim university au
sonasona is an orv veteran and has a delightful array of works to show for it. what remains is a particular favourite as i adore cigarettes and the metaphorical implications thereof
i'm sure there are others im forgetting right now but these are more or less the best from my bookmarks so..hope you enjoy :)

Reblog this to spread the word, I'm tired of the enshittification of the things I use in my day to day life.
i personally love when kim dokja fixes his problems with suicide. he puts a gun to his head and im clapping and cheering along.
ORV SPOILERS but can u believe kdj bombastically spilled heracles' whole tea just to buy time for his own giant soldier

If Hyung wasn’t lying when he said they would all survive and then he went off to die, then this wasn’t a lie either.
The bugs couldn’t save him. They swarmed and they swarmed and they swarmed and the sword got through anyway. It burned. The boy felt like his insides were burning, twisting around the blade piercing through him.
But then, just as fast, the sensation left. Lee Gilyoung saw his Hyung standing over what had just hurt him, blade dripping with blood and Stories. Having finished the job, his Hyung rushed over to check on Lee Gilyoung.
“Are you okay? It didn’t get you did it?” His Hyung sounded so stressed. Lee Gilyoung didn’t want to bother him with his pain, so chose to omit it.
The bugs swarmed, covering his torso, Hyung didn’t see this because he was too busy looking the boy in the eyes.
“No, Dokja-Hyung, I’m fine,” Lee Gilyoung said, desperately trying to sound sincere, feeling suffocated by the feeling that he was gushing blood onto the floor.
His Hyung looked unsure, but when the battle roared up again behind him, he reluctantly turned around to go finish it.
Lee Gilyoung sank to his knees, no longer able to stand. He was invisible to the world, surrounded by layers and layers of bugs. He loved bugs.
Surely if he just closed his eyes for a moment, he wasn’t going to die… the boy thought, blinks growing longer and heavier.
An ear piercing screech rang out. His eyes flashed open. It was his Hyung, he was running over to him. He looked so desperate, his blurry and blank face flashing with what could have been tears.
His Hyung pushed through the bugs, who were attacking him, trying to keep him away. Lee Gilyoung ordered them to stop.
His Hyung had activated Demon King Transformation at some point, his ebony wings blocking out what was left of the sun. Those dark wings wrapped around him, cocooning him in a soft embrace.
“You’ll be okay, you’ll be okay, you’ll be okay,” Dokja-Hyung repeated, needlessly, as he wouldn’t die. His Hyung was here! He wouldn’t die.
Hyung wrapped his arms around the boy, and burst into flight. Scrambling back to the complex and completely ignoring the abandoned fight.
In his Hyung’s arms, Lee Gilyoung knew he was safe. His eyes began to close once more.
“No, no, no, no, no!” His Hyung muttered, sounding as desperate as Lee Gilyoung had once felt. But this desperation didn’t work. The boys eyes closed, and the world faded away.

Was rereading chapter 463 today. He one hundred percent deserved that lightning bolt.
‘The best form of brainwashing was repeating yourself’ I’m dying. So will he.
