Sweet Dreams Fuel / Fan Works

• Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità: The Falling-in-Love Montage between Germany, Italy, and Japan is this.
• The Light in the Darkness is considered one of the most heartwarming tells in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom. Its pretty much distilled essence of the bonds of friendship between the Mane Cast from the series. It's gained the reputation for being Sweet Dreams Fuel enough to counteract the Nightmare Fuel present in Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles).
• Kalash93 gives us Songs Uncle Sings, a lighthearted, sweet short oneshot fic about how an uncle and a nephew bond and get to know each other through the power of music. It's all the more surprising that this little gem of feel-good innocence comes from a man whose works are not known for being the kind of thing you'd read to your children as bedtime stories.
  • While we're on the topic of pony fanfics, give How to Preen Your Chicken a shot. It brings the relationship between Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo to its peak in the sweetest way possible.
• Wait wait wait, what?! No Blue Sky?! This thing is just brimming with Dream Fuel! Compare it to the ending of the game, and see just how sweet it is. It will fill your heart with feels, seriously. It even has its own page.
• The Little Cherub series by Beautifulpurpleflame. The difficult parenthood of the Teen Titans.
• Did I Ever Tell You is a short oneshot that perfectly encompasses the warmth of One Piece in general and the Straw Hats in particular.
• Neon Metathesis Evangelion manages to be incredibly warm despite the source material, with the pilots growing ever closer. Notably, when Rei comes home to the apartment she shares with Asuka looking exhausted and ready to collapse, Asuka hurries to get Shinji who quite literally comes running and the two spend the rest of the night caring for Rei and even fall asleep embracing her.
• In contrast to some of the darker stuff in The Loud House fandom, Mall Rats (TLH) is nothing but pure sweetness, having as its premise Lincoln grudgingly agreeing to spend a day at the mall with Leni but discovering her Hidden Depths and realizing that she's a lot cooler than he normally gives her credit for.
• The Simpsons fan picture Allison Is Home. Never had a family looked so loving.
• The Skyhold Academy Yearbook series has largely been described this way by many of its reviewers/commenters. As one of them pointed out, they don't need to worry when reading the stories, because even if there is some kind of problem, it will always get resolved in the happiest manner possible. The whole point of the series was to be a Lighter and Softer, sillier, WAFFy tribute to the Dragon Age universe, and this is what it delivers.
• Evolving Tradition is about Joel reading the bots 'Twas the Night Before Christmas every year and how he slowly grows to accept their running commentary on the story. Funny, with an adorable twist by the end. Sure to be a holiday classic among those who read it.
• Protector: After the first chapter, the entire story revolves around Starscream and Ironhide spending time together and acting like a real father and son.
• Daddy's Little Baker is a sweet little story about Lola and Lynn Sr making cakes for his birthday. Cuteness abounds, and we get to see a side to Lola that ISN'T her rude, bratty side.
• Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee takes place in an alternate version of the Love Live! universe based on School Idol Festival, it's ALL STARS sequel and the Nijigasaki anime, and should you choose to ignore the Nightmare Fuel and Fridge Horror of the more serious Side Stories, Special Stories, major Crisis Crossover arcs and backstories for certain characters, it's just as cute and funny as your typical Love Live! and Tokimeki Memorial entry!
• A Sparkling's Tale is chock-full of sweet moments of Optimus and Ratchet raising Bumblebee.
• The New Teen Titans Play The Muppet Show. It plays out exactly like an actual episode of the show, and the Teen Titans prove to be some of the nicest guest stars to appear, helping the other Muppets out with their problems and managing to successfully silence Statler and Waldorf. Perfect for anyone who's feeling nostalgic for the original show.
• The Great Mon Wizar is a sweet little fluff piece revolving around Wizardmon joining a circus in hopes of finding the Eighth Child, and becoming the star for one night. Even the ending where his copy of the fake crest activates, directing him towards the docks and thus the events that will lead to his death can't detract from the sweetness of the story.
• Mushroom Lore revolves around the Fellowship exchanging mushroom recipes while sitting around a campfire. No danger, no conflict, no orc attacks - just a group of friends enjoying themselves.
• How to Fake a Marriage by quicksilversquared. Marinette and Adrien, living in one building in London. A few months of friendship, then an identity reveal, then a couple years of domestic bliss... and a wedding at the end.
• The Great Skyhold Bakeoff. All the good feelings The Great British Bake Off brings in a Dragon Age setting.
• Splatoon fanfic First Aid Kits and Deep Secrets by LittleMapleLeaf is an absolutely adorable romance story between an inkling and an octoling she rescued in battle. The imagery and prose are well done, the chemistry between the two leads is incredibly endearing, and the numerous other characters get plenty of time in the spotlight as well. It certainly helps that the romance is based purely on very well-paced emotional connections, and May and Lacey clearly love each other deeply, making their first kiss all the more heartwarming.
• Soup-er Sweet Love is an adorable little piece of Slice of Life fluff revolving around Ratchet and Arcee making soup together.
• Ma belle Cher de mon coeur, by the same author as above, is a perfectly sweet little romance story depicting a typical day in the life of a mechservant and the wealthy employer he is secretly in love with. The ending, where he gathers the courage to confess his feelings to his mistress, and it turns out that she recipocrates his love, might just be the best part of the story.
• The Impossible Gift tells the story of Adrien making a Father's Day gift for his father. It's so heartwarming to see Gabriel's soft side.
• Pregame Oumasai/Saiouma Fluffshots Lighthearted oneshots of many sweet scenarios between Kokichi and Shuichi. Just bound to make any Saiouma shipper filled with joy.
• Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Just seeing Batman act like a loving and caring father to Jarro, as well as Clark's feelings for the other man, will make you feel all gooey inside.
• Infinity Train: Voyage of Wisteria: Corginia has a trained cuddling group that is full of corgi puppies who tackle you on contact and cheer you on with nothing but positive reinforcement.
• Magical Girls Unite Retransformed: Through our hero, Seinaru, and countless other magical girls and boys from across fiction, the Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction is throughly torn to pieces. Some of the worst offenders get fixed for the best, and as for the Puella Magi themselves, they all get the happy endings they want in life. What more could you ask for if you’re looking for a more optimistic take in a genre that was warped to be dark?
