🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?
Obviously Thunderbirds for me, so I can go read it. But also if you want to answer for other fandoms if any stick out :)
Wow, it's been forever since I got one of these asks, thanks :D
And oh heck, Tsari and sweet fics?
Okay then, TAG fics, what do we have in here that's actually sweet...
Right, I am looking at my AO3 and there is no way I'm narrowing this down to one, so have a selection of the particularly fluffy and sweet things I've managed to come up with for this fandom. You might spot a common theme...
Flour and Memories (Scott&John)
Cocoa and Blankets (Military Bros)
Peaceful Dawn (Scott&John)
Kiss The Chef (Tracy Family)
Chocolate Thief (Tracy Family)
Toffee (incomplete...)
As far as other fandoms go, well. I'm not really much of a "sweet" fic author and angst keeps cropping in. I'm gaining a bit of a reputation for this, apparently.
That being said!
Riordanverse
Braids (Michael&Apollo Cabin)
Family Time (Apollo&Apollo Cabin)
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (Solangelo, Apollo/Naomi)
Foul Play (Solangelo)

"He was such a good guy, such a talented fucking dude and he was going to fucking change music for fucking ever. And it sucks, dude. It's fucked. It's fucked. I fucking love that kid, man. He was the fucking shit."
"You a star. I believe in you, bro."
"I didn't like Lil Peep at first. I kinda stick to myself. And then I met him at the Arizona show with Fat Nick and he was like very sweet. Gentle soul. Like he was just a cool ass dude. No reason for anybody to hate him."
"I love you forever, my brother. I love you more than anything in the world. We was just talking a few days ago how after your tour you were gonna come spend a month out over here. Forever and always will love you. See you soon."
"It was all hella natural, everything we did was easy. It was like, it was like drinking water. We'd just always be together. There was a couple months where we were like pretty much glued together. He was my best friend."
my dear, what need do we have
for fighting? beloved, what we do is much more.
