7''Cosmo Finds Tails'' is a {{romantic comedy}} fanfiction series by [[http://dr-insean.deviantart.com/gallery/53768178/Fan-Arts Dr-InSean]], based on the Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog series.
8
9[[Anime/SonicX Cosmo]] and her sisters were watching a meteor shower one night when strange plane crashed nearby. When they discover that the pilot is two-tailed fox boy, Cosmo feels an instinctive need to help and protect him.
10
11The series is based on the idea that Cosmo and Tails were of such similar temperaments and philosophies that even if their gender roles were reversed, nothing about their relationship would change. The series also theorizes what Seedrian society and physiology may have been like [[DeathByOriginStory if they didn't all blow up in their first episode]]. It can be found on [[http://dr-insean.deviantart.com/gallery/53768178/Fan-Arts Dr-InSean's deviantART]] and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6319377/Dr-Insean Fanfiction.net.]]
12
13!!Cosmo finds examples of:
14
15* ActionGirl:
16** In her original story, Tails went to great lengths to defend Cosmo. This story reverses the roles.
17** Sticks doesn't get as much screen-time, but doesn't miss a beat.
18* AffablyEvil: Eggman. To the point that he tells Sonic and friends whenever he goes on vacation so they can house-sit for him.
19** Bordering on FauxAffablyEvil though, as he still has every intent to destroy Sonic and friends.
20* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Cosmo is the youngest of the so-called "Galaxina Sisters" and Galaxina certainly sees her as the baby. It's actually because of this treatment that Cosmo grew up as a {{Shrinking Violet}}.
21* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:When cornered in a narrow cave by Eggman, Cosmo taunts that his machine's whirling blades could never cut her, well aware that he couldn't turn down the invitation. He falls for it, which sees his once deadly blade whittled down by the cave's narrow walls.]]
22* BettyAndVeronica: Cosmo fears that she, Sticks and Tails are in such a triangle. Sticks is the Veronica while Cosmo is the Betty.
23* BizarreAlienBiology: Seedrian blood is actually chlorophyll. When they blush, their faces don't turn pink or red, but whatever color their leafy hair is. When Tails first saw Cosmo blush, he thought she was sick.
24** It's also mentioned that Seedrians breathe carbon dioxide, like trees do.
25* CharacterDevelopment: Cosmo starts the series off shy, introverted and easily scared. Since rescuing Tails and meeting his friends, she's become braver and more outgoing.
26* ChildProdigy: Tails is described as such, verbatim. He's even asked to build a propulsion system. For an alien race ''far beyond his planet's technological capabilities.''
27** Has hints of BunglingInventor though, as his first scene sees him crashing his plane. As usual.
28** Manages to avert OmnidisciplinaryScientist. Tails admits that he doesn't know much about archaeology or excavation, [[VideoGame/SonicBoom both of which are more popular on his home island.]]
29* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sticks. As usual.
30* CoolBigSis: She frequently keeps her and Cosmo's friends in check, Cosmo's envious of her out-going personality and she maintains a playful demeanor with anyone not named [[BerserkButton Starla]]. Even Tails starts to see her as this after a while.
31* ConspiracyTheorist: Who else but Sticks? Apparently, she's also prone to calling things that bore her conspiracies and running away from them.
32* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass:
33** Knuckles is dumb, but he intercepts a Badnik with almost ninja-like skill. He also has an off-screen fight with Eggman that sends the mad man packing.
34** Sticks has shades of this too. Her insane rantings often make little sense and are incorrect, but that doesn't stop her from decapitating a Badnik with just a wooden boomerang.
35* DeclarationOfProtection: A modified one. Cosmo suggests that since love is a two-party affair, she and Tails should protect each other instead of just one of them doing all the work.
36* DisappearedDad: [[Anime/SonicX Lucas]] is never seen or mentioned. Only knowledge of what the Metarex are will clue readers in to where Cosmo's father is.
37* DumbMuscle: Knuckles, even by his own admission. Cosmo sees him as more of an {{Idiot Savant}}.
38* FriendshipTrinket: Sticks gives people pink boomerangs to show she considers them a friend. Cosmo's the first person she gave one to without knocking her out with it.
39* [[GoodParents Good Parent]]: Hertia. Not only is she supportive of Cosmo, she's also something of a ParentalSubstitute for Tails.
40* GreenRocks: As per the usual for this series. Tails uses a nondescript green gem to power his plane. He also speculates that Mobius could use such gems as a reliable, global power source provided they're naturally occurring and plentiful, not synthetic and few.
41* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. When Cosmo has fears that Tails may not like her anymore, Hertia reminds her that ''"You're an alien and you saved him. I can't think of anything cooler than that!"'' Besides that, Cosmo DOES NOT act like a member of this trope.
42* InsaneTrollLogic: Most things Sticks says, but the one that takes the cake is a decoy sign that reads "Sticks' Hideout" outside her very own hideout. She was expecting people to think it was too obvious a sign and assume it was a trick and move on. They didn't.
43%%* InterspeciesRomance: Cosmo and Tails.
44* LemonyNarrator: Full-stop. Used mostly for humor, but also manages to get character perspectives like Cosmo's anxieties and world-building when the narrator describes Seedrian history that... ''really'' doesn't matter.
45* LuminescentBlush: As the narrator of the series might say, "Cosmo and Tails blush no less than ''umpteen times'' per chapter."
46%%** See BizarreAlienBiology above for more about Cosmo blushes.
47%%* MadScientist: Dr. Eggman... As if you didn't already know.
48* MythologyGag:
49** [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Tails' landing strip is a rocky cliff lined with palm trees.]]
50** Hertia describes Sonic as [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics "Way Past Cool."]]
51** When fighting Eggman, Sticks tells him to [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "GET A LOAD OF THIS!"]]
52** During a battle, Eggman shouts [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes "Take this! CHAAAAARGE!"]]
53* PinkBoyBlueGirl: Tails and Cosmo.
54* RescueRomance
55* ShapedLikeItself: When Eggman chases Cosmo, we get this gem: ''"Cosmo ran into the next room, screaming like a plant-girl being chased by a mustachioed madman."''
56* ShoutOut:
57** Cosmo covers herself in mud to hide from a Badnik's thermo-vision, a trick she picked up from a movie implied to be ''Film/{{Predator}}''.
58** [[RocksFallEveryoneDies Buzzbomber enters. Everyone dies.]]
59** When nervously trying to avoid talking to Sticks, Cosmo starts thinking about [[WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker Woodpeckers and "that goofy laugh they do."]]
60* ShrinkingViolet: No pun intended, but Cosmo. Meeting Tails encourages her to become bolder, but she still remains shy about things like meeting new people at first.
61* TheDitz: Starla. [[BerserkButton Much to Galaxina's chagrin.]]
62* ThemeNaming: According to WordOfGod, all male Seedrians have the same name as movie directors. This comes from how Anime/SonicX's English dub named one the male Seedrian's [[Creator/GeorgeLucas "Lucas."]] In this story, Galaxina's boyfriend is [[Creator/QuentinTarantino "Tarantino."]] Complete with a big chin and [[{{Foot Focus}} passing reference to feet.]]
63* WhatIf: The basis of the story asks the question ''"What if Tails crashed and Cosmo found him?"'' a twist on how the characters met in Anime/SonicX. The author proposes that since Tails and Cosmo were so similar in temperament, little to nothing would change about them and their relationship even if they switched gender roles.
