%%* Of ''course'' [[Series/DoctorWho the Second Doctor and Jamie]] are this in Creator/RoseOfPollux's work.


* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'':
** Rei loves hugs, although she's far more likely to ask for them than to give them. While Asuka and Shinji are always happy to oblige, Asuka was a bit annoyed when she came into their room to ask for one at six-thirty in the morning.
** Asuka loves to cuddle with Shinji, it's one of her favorite activities. Even after [[GladToBeAliveSex Leliel]], they spend just as many nights snuggling as they do having sex.
* ''Fanfic/AndIWillBurnForYou'' series:
** Jiang Cheng really likes physical contact with his family. As he and Wei Wuxian reconcile, their tendency towards physical contact increases. He and Jin Ling also share a lot of touches.
** Wei Wuxian is also a cuddler, and gives just as much as he gets from Jiang Cheng in the hugging department.




* All of Team 7 in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16267331/chapters/42084791#workskin Black Hole Heart]]'' is very cuddly with each other and those they care about with Sakura being the biggest cuddler of them all. After they [[ItMakesSenseInContext take over Root]], Sai quickly gets used to Sakura draping herself over him regularly.
* In ''Fanfic/BlackRoseBloomsSilver'', Ruby is rather fond of cuddling and hugging her friends and family, as her abilities as TheEmpath let her know when they're feeling down. She's even explicitly called touch-starved a couple times.


* In ''Fanfic/CatchYourBreath'', Kushina has a tendency to exuberantly cuddle Minato's genin when they're small, particularly Kakashi.



* [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash's]] [[OriginalCharacter Tentacool]] in ''Fanfic/CommonSense''. She usually hits him with TheGlomp, too.

* [[PhysicalGod Xan]][[EldritchAbomination na]] in the ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9920512/1/Reaching-for-a-Dream Reaching for a Dream]]'' series is a massive fan of cuddling but only with her husband Naruto and to a lesser extent Akitsu. It's later revealed to be in part from spending centuries alone and part from her old habit of sleeping for decades out of boredom.
** Akitsu is likewise very fond of snuggling up to Naruto and/or Xanna whenever she can. A notable example is how happy she is when Xanna wraps most of her tails around her, thinking of it as a super hug.

* ''Fanfic/FateHaremAntics'': Assassin (Hassan of the Serenity) is a PoisonousPerson who can't turn this ability off. She is therefore ''very'' touch-starved, and the second she discovers that Shielder (a female Galahad with [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Mash's]] personality) can touch her without being hurt, she hugs her and doesn't let go. She's next seen sitting in Shielder's lap, with Shielder looking rather uncomfortable but not having the heart to say anything.
* Ha-chan in ''Fanfic/{{FREAKINGENSOKYO}}''. She snuggles up to Brad whenever she can.




* Medli in "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13105443/1/The-Legend-of-Zelda-The-Wind-Waker The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]" is very affectionate. Much more than the game this story is based on. She first hugs Link in her excitement when he agrees to help her into Dragon Roost Cavern and then once more when Link blames himself for the wind injuring her. She hugs both Link and Komali after they save her from her captors and again when Link vows to come back to Dragon Roost Island. She fills the hugging hole when Link comes to awaken her as a sage and again when the two separate for what they think is forever. Finally, she starts a GroupHug at the end of the fic.
* In ''Fanfic/WeasleyGirl'', one of the ways Veronica "Ronnie" Weasley (a GenderFlip of Ron Weasley) differs from her canon male counterpart is that she's very cuddly and likes to hug her friends.

WordOfGod likens him to a dragon lounging on his hoard, except that Firestar's "hoard" [[PapaWolf is his family]].
* ''Fanfic/KoiNoYokan'':
** Majima says that he was all about cuddling when he was younger but then [[ColdBloodedTorture the Hole]] happened. As his mental health gets better he starts enjoying it again and admits that the best part of sex is the cuddling afterwards.
** Haruka will do ''anything'' to get her cuddles. At one point she even tells [[spoiler:Taiga]], who is trying to dislodge her from a hug, that the only thing that will move her is a crowbar. She's frequently compared to a cat for this reason.

The next two times are when Caspar is frightened by [[ScarilyCompetentTracker Lewis]]; while uncomfortable, James remains calm for the sake of how freaked out Caspar obviously is, and Caspar apologizes afterwards.

Their skinship reaction is usually triggered by {{Moe}} and CutenessProximity. When taken to the extreme, it might result in the person declaring ImTakingHerHomeWithMe. For when the cuddling is done by a person who DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength, see AndCallHimGeorge. A character who is a Cuddle Bug and also has CumbersomeClaws can also cause trouble. Compare NoSenseOfPersonalSpace.
