13	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'']]
14	* ''Fanfic/ForGood'' and ''Fanfic/{{One Hundred Days\|BuzzLightyear}}'':
15	** Mira, especially when she and Buzz are being adorably awkward together [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial because they are most emphatically not in love even if they're married]].
16	%% ** Buzz Lightyear (from ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' canon)
17
18	[[AC: ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'']]
19	* ''Fanfic/TheCalvinverse'' story ''Fanfic/RetroChill'' shows Retro's CowardlySidekick Bob to be adorkable, as a ShrinkingViolet who is implied to be a BigBadWannabe (though he eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn).
20
21	[[AC: CrossOver]]
22	* ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'', of all people, has his moments in ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfTime'', particularly once he's well and truly in love with Beth Lestrade of ''WesternAnimation/SherlockHolmesInTheTwentySecondCentury''. The following dialogue is from a largely serious conversation that descends briefly into a terribly cute moment:
23	-->'''Beth:''' (smiles sadly) So shut up, seriously.
24	-->'''Holmes:''' (blushes, closes his mouth meekly)
25	-->'''Beth:''' (giggles softly) You are such an idiot.
26	-->'''Holmes:''' (raises eyebrow) Are you expecting me to argue that point?
27	-->'''Beth:''' (laughs) Oh, look at that: you're actually learning! Don't worry -- you're my idiot, so it's all good. (tentative grin)
28	-->'''Holmes:''' (smiles back hesitantly) Am I?
29	-->'''Beth:''' (sighs in exasperation) Are you ''trying'' to prove my point?
30	-->'''Holmes:''' (sheepish grin) I seem to be confirming it further with every second word.
31	* ''[[Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi Dungeon Keeper Ami]]'' has Empress Mercury who has a frequent MadScientist gag. Very cute fifteen-year-old dork.
32	* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse''
33	** ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail''
34	*** Chloe is shown to have a love of ''Alice in Wonderland'' and invokes the story as much as she can, from singing Lobster Quadrille with Lexi and naming her donut holer Cheshire. She also has a thing for the macabre, and one reader said that she was "adorably morbid".
35	*** Lexi is presumably older than Chloe and his human form is Specter from ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'', but he has childish glee over listening to (macabre) stories, does his best to make food for Chloe, and happily dances to the Lobster Quadrille alongside her.
36	** ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'' Gladion usually presents himself as a chuunbiyou, but here he actually has a love of ''Alice in Wonderland'' and holds a fascination for the White Knight.
37	* ''Fanfic/TangledAdventuresInArendelle'' has Anna and Elsa.
38	** Anna can be a real laugh due to her rambling about finding true love with Kristoff.
39	** Elsa, in playing with Anna, turned herself into Elsaf: Basically herself but covered in snow as if she was a snowman. Cute and dorky.
40	* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10677182/6/There-s-Nothing-Sweeter There's Nothing Sweeter]]'' Gwen Potter mentally refers to Anthony Goldstein as "just so adorably dorky."
41	* Twilight from ''FanFic/AHollowInEquestria''. Her infatuation with all the mysteries of Ulquiorra's nature makes it very hard not to smile.
42	* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/9448874/chapters/21376838 Not Your Saint George]]'', Pyrrha underwent an AdaptationSpeciesChange (she's a red dragon) and she's curious about everything[[note]]She's a FishOutOfWater[[/note]], worrying about whether or not she got her inflections right while trying to be intimidating (it's been a few decades since she's actually talked to anyone), happily eating her new favourite food (meat jerky, then ice cream), and needing Jaune to stop her from trying to steal shiny things (Young dragons are sort of like magpies).
43	* ''Fanfic/TheManyWorldsInterpretation'' sees ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' academics Ponder Stibbons and Johanna Smith-Rhodes on a field trip to an alien planet, observing the local sentient life-forms in their nurturing environment. This turns out to be a habitat in Pasadena, California, Earth, known locally as [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Caltech]]. The resultant nerd-fest sees people like Sheldon Cooper, Amy Farrah-Fowler, Leonard Hofstadter, Howard Wolowitz, Bernadette Rostenkowski - and Penny - making reciprocal stays on the Discworld. Adorkable abounds.
44	* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'' (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' WesternAnimation, [[{{Series}} TV Series]], and ComicBooks.)
45	** Whenever one of the girls kisses him on the cheek, Danny will react accordingly in a way that is meant to be adorable. [[spoiler: Even more when they end up kissing him on the lips.]]
46	** Heck, some of the girls he has gone out with can be pretty Adorkable in their own ways.
47	* In Fanfic/SnugglesTheSymbiote Ashley O'Leary/Cuddlebug is an excitable ten-year-old girl who absolutely loves Superheroes, especially Spider-Man, and is always willing to share facts about the heroes and villains from her world to her new friends on [[Literature/{{Worm}} Earth Bet]].
48	* Taylor in ''FanFic/ASkitteringHeart'' is shy, socially awkward, a little nerdy and oblivious and as such is somewhat of a dork. She also acts very cutely with her best friend Sabah which makes her adorable. Sabah seems to quite like this.
49
50	%%%[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'']]
51
52	[[AC: ''Manga/DeathNote'']]
53	* In ''FanFic/ACharmedLife,'' Light Yagami is a huge nerd. He just happens to be an [[VillainProtagonist evil]] and handsome huge nerd who is [[MasterActor skilled at acting]] and is able to put up a charming front in public. In private, however, he can be quite a dork, for example when he looks to ''Franchise/StarTrek'' [[WhatWouldXDo for guidance in his life]].
54	* ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7292991/1/Xanatos Xanatos]]'':
55	** Female example is [[OCStandIn Linda]], whose awkward stuttering and occasional shyness are just all too endearing.
56	** Near is adorkable when he carries on a phone conversation. NoSocialSkills, poor guy.
57
58	[[AC: ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'']]
59	* In ''FanFic/NatureStudies'', canonical übernerd Ponder Stibbons is forced to leave the security of Unseen University to deal with the outside world, and ends up involved in an urban safari to round up large wild animals which have been imported to Ankh-Morpork and allowed to escape. He meets a very capable young woman from a [[UsefulNotes/SouthAfrica faraway country]] who is also involved in the safari. The two begin a halting courtship full of little embarrased silences and "errr..." moments in which he realises she is as inexperienced as he is, despite her outgoing confidence and combative nature. In Ponder's company, her normally well-concealed inner dork emerges to blink in the unaccustomed sunlight. More socially experienced friends then conspire to make sure they carry on seeing more of each other.
60
61	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'']]
62	* ''Fanfic/WhatAboutWitchQueen'':
63	** Kai's antics on the horse are just plain hilarious, especially the way he argues with Spots. Even off the horse, his reaction to the news that his father plans to arrange Kai's marriage to Elsa is adorkable.
64	** Ferdinand is a borderline example, what with his inability to apologize to Anna without starting to ramble incoherently and switch to GratuitousGerman. Sadly, he gets it under control a while later.
65	** Anna, despite being adorkable in the film, is OutOfCharacter in this fic and she does not act like a cute dork (AvertedTrope).
66
67	[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'']]
68	* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': Both of the TwoBeingsOneBody making up [[AdaptationalHeroism Monster X]] -- San and Vivienne Graham -- are squarely in this trope. They both tend to be very sweet and heartbreakingly psychologically vulnerable during the story. On the dork side of this trope, there's Vivienne being what could be described as a fossil/nature-enthusiastic geek, and San being inquisitive and also socially inept to human customs.
69
70	[[AC: ''Literature/HarryPotter'']]
71	* In ''Fanfic/ThePowerOfSeven'', Susan Bones explicitly affectionately refers to Harry as a 'doofus' when he seems genuinely surprised at the idea that other girls would kill to be in her position.
72
73	[[AC: ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'']]
74	* ''Fanfic/{{Brainbent}}'': Equius [[http://brainbent.tumblr.com/post/30886067793/feferi-wake-up from Feferi's point of view]]. Something about the combination of GentleGiant, ComicallySerious (with occasional lighter moments), and RealMenWearPink is adorble and dorky.
75	%% ** Tavros. Tavros' dorkiness is even lampshaded by the authors in his character introduction.
76	%% ** John
77	%% ** Jade
78	%% ** Nepeta
79	%% * [=tecnicianMagician=] and [=constantThinker=] in the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' FanFic ''FanFic/AdultStuck''.
80
81	[[AC: ''Literature/TheHungerGames'']]
82	* ''Fanfic/SomeSemblanceOfMeaning'':
83	** Vale, the heroine, is a daydreamy, [[CuteBookworm book-loving]], [[CuteClumsyGirl fairly clumsy]] ShrinkingViolet who is a Type B {{Tsundere}} and is prone to [[LuminescentBlush blushing]].
84	** District One [[PrivilegedRival Career]] [[spoiler: and eventual victor]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Obsidian]] who, despite his initial displays of coolness, can be downright ''awkward'', especially when it comes to his LoveInterest [[spoiler:Vale]].
85
86	[[AC: ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'']]
87	* Medli can come across as a cute duck dork in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13105443/1/The-Legend-of-Zelda-The-Wind-Waker The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. She [[CuddleBug tends to hug people when she's excited]] to the point where she [[AccidentalHug does it without thinking]] and gets embarrassed. She also gets very excited when Link recaps his adventure to her.
88
89	[[AC: ''Literature/LeftBehind'']]
90	* The title character of the fanfic ''Cendrillon Jospin'' is a total spaz. She manages to utterly fail at seducing either of the two guys she likes, and she spends the night before her big mission feeling ACupAngst towards her more attractive cousin. However, she has enough drive to cat-herd a disparate group of geeks into restarting her civilization's space program.
91
92	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}'']]
93	* Tojo in ''Fanfic/TheLionKingAdventures''. He's a squeaky, geeky nerd. However, he's absolutely adorable. It's impossible not to love him.
94
95	[[AC: ''Manga/LuckyStar'']]
96	* BrainyBrunette Chiyoko Sakamoto from the fanfics ''Fanfic/HolidayVacation'' and ''Fanfic/LuckyStarAfterStory'' is a dead ringer for being adorkable. She is an [[TheCutie adorable]] and [[TokenMiniMoe very short]] intellectual with huge blue eyes and she gets flustered very easily.
97
98	[[AC: ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'']]
99	* Jotaro Kujo, the hero of Part 3, is canonically a grade-A badass with a bad attitude and an unshakable will. However, his asocial demeanor and some [[{{Narm}} hilariously corny lines]] have led to some {{Fanon}} interpretations of him being more of a lovable dweeb who's actively trying to be badass. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I32Nki0dUHQ Case in point.]]
100	* Jonathan Joestar is just as adorkable in ''Fanfic/JonathanJoestarTheFirstJoJo'' as he is in the source material, being the same GentleGiant and AllLovingHero to his [[KidFromTheFuture descendants]], his AlternateSelf, and his [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs alternate self's descendant]]. His FishOutOfTemporalWater tendencies are also cute, such as his excitement and wonder at [[FightingSpirit Stands]] and future technology or averting his eyes from Jolyne's skimpy outfit out of politeness.
101
102	[[AC: ''VideoGame/MetalGear'']]
103	* Otacon in ''Fanfic/{{Stray\|Dahne}}'' is the epitome of nerdy cuteness. Even a character who isn't his LoveInterest remarks on it.
104
105	[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
106	* Caramel of ''Fanfic/{{Assumptions}}'' acts adorkably whenever an attractive girl talks to him directly, constantly stuttering and flubbing his lines. Ironically, his main love interest grows fond of him since he doesn't act differently around her, though he does regress back into this after a few teases from her.
107	* Princess Luna's attempts to bond with her nephew in ''FanFic/CadenceInAMinor'' consist of [[DreamWalker wandering into his dreams]] and striking up conversations or startling him in hallways while he's in deep thought, and wondering [[NoSocialSkills why he's not always happy to see her.]] Still, she manages to be adorable anyway.
108	* The protagonist in ''FanFic/SophisticationAndBetrayal'' is awkward and dorky on many occassions. Luckily for him, his marefriend Rarity tends to find his awkwardness rather endearing.
