Luminescent Blush / Fan Works

Go To

Crossover

  • Michikyuu Kanae in Kyon: Big Damn Hero does this whenever Kyon is around. Whenever.
    • Also, the sheer act of Kyon kissing Haruhi inflicts one on Koizumi. Then when Kanae notices it when he returns to the clubroom and asks Yuki for an explanation, she blushes too, when she explains that they're "exchanging memetic information through relevant channels". She mistakes it for a conversation.
  • The Many Dates of Danny Fenton: A recurring thing for not just Danny, but some of the girls he dates. If there's even a hint of an interest, they blush.
  • Monsters In Paradise: In-universe, it is noted that none of Patchouli's tomes and literature prepared her for social interactions beyond those she dealt with on a regular basis. While meeting with Akyu, she has a (brief) encounter with the eternally shirtless Freddie, requiring her to find a place to rest and get her blushingnote  under control.
  • In Street Fighter/Evangelion crossover Neon Genesis Evangelion Senshi No Michi, Asuka is rolling her eyes at Shinji and their master Gouken getting all emotional until Misato reminds her that she got all teary-eyed when they left Gouken's dojo. Asuka's cheeks instantly turn bright red in embarassment.

The DCU

  • Ultimate DCU Headverse: In the sixth chapter of "Getting By", Kate blushes when she accidentally gets a peek at Linda's cleavage.
    I nod like a child enamored by her hero and watch Linda lean down to pick the tray off the floor. Her shirt rides up slightly revealing a sliver of skin. As soon as Linda sits up, I turn my eyes to something else. "Katherine, are you okay? Your face is all red." I'm sure I turn a deeper shade at the use of my full name. "Kate, I think you need to eat. If you turn any redder your face will match your hair."

Dungeons & Dragons

  • Spectra’s illustrations in Vow of Nudity include this pretty much permanently, probably to highlight her shy personality and perpetual embarrassment at her magically-enforced state of undress.

Fire Emblem

  • In Golden Threads Tie Us, Severa's face practically glows red when she's praised by Lucina.
    "Well, if it's Severa telling me that, then I can't let her down." Lucina's smile practically glowed, and the flush in Severa's cheeks earlier was nothing compared to this. Her face felt like it was blazing.

Fireman Sam

Hetalia: Axis Powers

  • Male examples; with how often Germany and Japan get these because of Italy in Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità, you would think they were bright crimson lanterns.

The Hunger Games

My Hero Academia

  • In Toward A Bright Future, Y/N, Class 1-A's new TA, has caused a lot of these reactions from her students for whatever reason.
    • When Y/N compliments Midoriya on his cheerful smile (or anything about him really), his whole face goes red and he starts sputtering. Everyone else finds it hilarious.
    • Just about any time Tokoyami's Quirk Dark Shadow starts becoming overly affectionate with Y/N, it leaves his container with some really ruffled feathers.
    • Monoma gets this after a few interactions with Y/N and actually developing a Precocious Crush on her, much to the amusement of his classmates, as does his classmate Kaibara later. Y/N is oblivious in both cases.
    • Iida gets this after he puns for Y/N and she gives him a hug in thanks.
    • When Y/N jokingly declares her love for Kouda after he gives her a cat army to cheer her up, his face goes bright red and he runs away.
    • Y/N gives Amajiki a hug after he saves her from one of Hatsume's wayward inventions, eliciting this response.
    • Finally, Y/N herself gets one - when she gets a kiss on the hand from the visiting Hawks.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

  • Used heavily in Blissful Dream, illustrating the passion the couple holds for each other.
  • The Loneliest Laundromat: Sudsy's impression of her blush after seeing Flash Sentry walk into her laundromat, likely going to strip to launder his clothes.
    Sudsy kept her book in front of her face as he walked by, though she was pretty sure he noticed her light up like a fire truck upon seeing him.
  • In Manehattan's Lone Guardian, Leviathan is left sporting one of these after she gives into temptation and scratches Maverick and Magnum behind the ears, thoroughly embarrassed as the three of them frantically apologize to each other.
  • The protagonist of A Pleasant Surprise has this reaction to Fluttershy, especially as she becomes more physical with her advances up to and including taking her virginity.
  • Done in Relax as a way of showing the lovers' arousal.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

  • Advice and Trust: After getting together, Shinji and Asuka blush often when they are together or someone drops hints about their feelings.
    • In chapter 3 Asuka flushes while thinking of what her and Shinji did the last night right after getting together. Later Shinji becomes red after slipping that thinking about Asuka kept him awake at night.
    • In chapter 4 Misato teases Shinji about his feelings towards Asuka. Shinji flushed incandescently.
      Misato laughed again. "Yes, we'll be back in time for that. Going to make a feast for your sweetie, hmm?"
      "Misato..." he whined, blushing. 'My sweetie, my girlfriend, my lover oh holy crap oh gods she loves me she loves me she loves me!' He blushed harder.
      Misato, fortunately, misinterpreted his nearly incandescent flush.
  • Aki-chan's Life -sequel to The Second Try-: Asuka tasks Shinji with explaining to their little girl where babies come from in this page. Shinji's face tells everything...
  • A Crown of Stars: After opening up and reaching out to each other Shinji and Asuka often blush when they are talking or someone comments on their relationship.
    • In chapter 66 Asuka blushes brightly as a friend of hers is making insinuations about what she and Shinji did the last night. Simultaneously, Hikari blushes due to the topic of the conversation.
      Asuka was glad the drinks she’d already had which gave her fair skin a good flush. It gave her some cover for the blush that now tried to set her cheeks on fire.
    • And in another chapter:
      Shinji was glad she couldn’t see him blush with her head tucked under his chin.
  • The Child of Love: During a conversation with Rei in chapter 1, Shinji blushes when she mentions what he and Asuka did and when he asks her if she is jealous.
    Shinji could feel a light blush spread across his face.
  • Children of an Elder God: In chapter 4 Asuka bushes profusely when Kaji praises her offhandedly:
    Asuka blushed furiously and tightened her embrace just a little bit.
  • Doing It Right This Time makes heavy use of this trope in Chapter 2, when Asuka and Shinji see Rei in a really nice new dress.
  • Evangelion 303: Used heavily in this story. A lot of characters blush constantly. Shinji and Asuka have at least one for each conversation of theirs.
  • HERZ: Even although he is now twenty-six, Shinji still blushes like a schoolboy… and his wife is not very different.
    • In chapter 1 Shinji blushes when Kurumi tries to flirt with him:
      Shinji's blush was so pronounced that he looked like he was going to burst.
    • And in that same chapter Asuka’s face flushes when Kensuke tells her not whipping Shinji too hard:
      That stopped Asuka's pacing. She spun around, her face beet-red, as she sputtered incoherently.
  • In chapter 4 of Last Child of Krypton, Shinji blushes profusely after he and Asuka gaze at each other.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion: Genocide: When Asuka goes back to Misato's apartment and asks Shinji where they go from there, Shinji's face reddens.
    Shinji felt his cheeks start to color warmly.
  • The One I Love Is...: In chapter 9 Shinji blurts out that he loves Asuka to her face. Then he blushes brightly.
    As the words sunk in, Asuka's eyes grew wider and wider. I felt myself blushing heavily under her gaze.

Pokémon

  • Guys Being Dudes: Arlo's reaction when Spark chooses to interpret one of his Pokestop takeover quotes in a BDSM context.
    "Team GO Rocket's domination is inevitable. Submit and you may be spared."
    "All right, then. If that's what you're into! My safeword is 'cheeseburger pizza'."
    Arlo's glasses abruptly returned to being transparent, revealing that his face was almost as red as that streak in his hair.
  • PMD: The Rogue Team: Erin tends to blush whenever she's feeling nervous, which happens very often.

Power Girl

  • In A Force of Four, Fury's face reddens when her grandmother reveals off-handedly the existence of her lover:
    Lyta's eyes were widening at the same time that her skin was flushing crimson.

Pretty Cure

Punch-Out!!

Sailor Moon

  • Dungeon Keeper Ami: Ami, occasionally. Usually out of embarrassment, like when it's revealed that she could use her Keeper Sight to peep on Dark General Jadeite while he's changing, in A Solution to the Reaper Problem?:
    "What? I wouldn't!" Ami sputtered, her face taking on the same same colour as a ripe tomato, and she raised both hands defensively, waving them left and right.

Steven Universe

X-Men

  • In X-Men: The Early Years, Scott Summers tends to have this effect on Jean Grey.
    Jean eyed him coldly for a moment. "You know, between changing in the locker room and the bad guys pretty much blowing our uniforms off, there's possibly about six inches of you that I haven't seen."
    "I didn't know you looked," Scott answered smoothly.
    Jean felt her cheeks get warm. "I never... I didn't mean... I just catch a glimpse... You're enjoying this way too much, Summers," she fired back, embarrassed.
    "Maybe just a little," Scott replied. "It's not like you said I have a cute butt." At that, Jean felt herself get a little redder. Damn her fair complexion. Great, just what she needed; another reason to get a glimpse of his butt. "It's not like the thought of a hidden tattoo might turn you on," he continued. "Or that bad boys push your buttons right?" Now, Jean could feel her face flame.
