9	"[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5466800?view_adult=true Exclusive Content]]" by ellen_fremedon
10	* Recommended by Tropers/DaibhidC
11	* ''Status'': Complete
12	* Synopsis: In old days, Cookie think, just having monsters on television was spooky. Monsters doing classy drama was ''transgressive''. Transgressive mean it a thing that people not expect you to do, and they think you strange when you do it. It special kind of surprise.
13	* Comments: A look behind the scenes of ''Monsterpiece Theatre'' which manages to get everyone in character while making a very well done race analogy.

15	[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17607989 Only a Little Dead]] by Arytra
16	* Recommended by ladyofthelibrary
17	* ''Status'': Complete
18	* Synopsis: Mr. Hooper was dead to begin with. Which would have been far more inconvenient if Big Bird couldn't see him. Especially since 6 year old 8'2" yellow birds tend to be a certain amount of trouble anyway and Mr. Hooper suddenly has a lot of free time on his hands until the rest of his friends are able to see him.
19	* Comments: As the author's tags put it, a fluffy ghost story where Mr. Hooper's spirit sticks around Sesame Street to look after Big Bird and the rest of the street's residents. His interactions with Big Bird are very sweet and how he reacts to the events of "Follow that Bird" is a treat.

25	* ''Status'': Complete
26	* Pairing(s): Ernie/Bert. [[SugarWiki/BetterThanItSounds Wait don't scroll past yet!]]
27	* Synopsis: Ernie can't place a strange feeling, so Susan steps in to help him figure it out. Excited, Ernie rushes to tell Bert about it, who doesn't want to be bothered.
28	* Comments: With all the infamous rumors and mockish depictions of them as gay lovers, one may think it impossible to write the pairing in a way that actually respects the source material, fits the tone of the show, ''and'' feels in-character. However, this author, who is clearly an actual fan of the show, set out to prove this assumption wrong with this very sweet and simple two-shot.

31	* Recommended by Tropers/Bee123
32	* ''Status'': Complete
33	* ''Synopsis'': “Ernie is naming things that start with the letter B. Bert thinks doing this in the middle of their wedding is a bad idea.“
34	* ''Pairings'': Bert/Ernie
35	* ''Comments'': In character and not at all mocking/crack/parody-like but sweet. Written in celebration to marriage equality.

39	[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/415169/chapters/689720 It Starts Out Like an A-Word (As Anyone Can See)]] by Amy
40	* Recommended by Tropers/ShakaRaka, Tropers/CaptainColdCutCliche
41	* Crossover with: ''Film/{{The Avengers\|2012}}''
42	* ''Status'': Complete
43	* Synopsis: This fic is brought to you by the letter Y, the number 12, and the Avengers' decision to help fix what Loki and the Chitauri did to destroy parts of Manhattan. (Mostly that last part.)
44	* Comments: What would otherwise be a CrackFic at Sesame Street's expense, if written by just about anyone else, is made into an incredibly sweet and funny story written by someone who obviously loves both franchises. It maintains a childlike tone, being told from the Muppets' perspectives, while still hinting at the more mature nature of the Avengers. While loosely following the segmented style of an SS episode, it focuses mostly on character interaction that ranges from SugarWiki/{{funny\|Moments}}, to [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel charming]], to [[{{Tearjerker}} feels-inducing]].
