* ''[[I Won't Say]]'' ([http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4760868/1/I_Wont_Say direct link]) an '''''adorable''''' ''[[Death Note]]'' ([[Slash Fic|Light/L]]) [[Christmas Special]] [[Fanfic]].
* A cute ''[[Code Geass]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120430203517/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7188708/1/Misguided_Ghost
* The number of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' fics that at least attempt a WAFF resolution to the eternal [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Ranma/Akane]] [[Love Dodecahedron|conflict]] is legion.
* Similarly, fics on the main triangle and offshoots in ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''
* [
** to get that straight: "Snapshots" is warm-and-fuzzy accompanying material to a [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] fanfic entitled "[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]:Forever". "Fullmetal Alchemist:Forever" is definitely not warm and fuzzy... {{spoiler|Amy gets pregnant at age twelve}} and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
* Also, fanfics that attempt to give Shinji and Asuka—or heck, '''anyone''' from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''—at least a moment of happiness, if not a full-fledged [[Happily Ever After]] ending.
Line 34:
* Due to the [[Bittersweet Ending]] of ''[[Princess Tutu]]'', many a fanfic writer has taken it upon themselves to create a "proper ending" and write a story {{spoiler|where Ahiru becomes human again}}. One might be stunned to find that the amount of fanfic for Ahiru and Fakir outnumbers the resident [[Ho Yay]] [[Beyond the Impossible|pairing!]]
* While there are plenty of [[Dark Fic]]s in the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' fandom, there are also many fluffy fics for the series' [[Official Couple]]s, especially for [[Tsundere|Germany]]/[[The Ditz|Italy]] who, while receiving their share of angsty fics, is responsible for most of the fandom's positively teeth-rotting fluff fics. In a ''good'' way. ([http://hot-ice-hilda.livejournal.com/35976.html One such example].)
** 95% of all [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|Greece]]/[[Yamato Nadeshiko|Japan]] fics fall into this category, with them being consistently portrayed by fandom as an adorable, mellow couple whose [[Birds of a Feather|similarly quiet and gentle personalities]] lead them to be [[Happily Married]] in all but name. And they're ''[[Moe Couplet|really]]'' [[Cute Kitten|cute]] while they're at it. ([http://stardropdream.livejournal.com/25657.html A] [https://web.archive.org/web/20120429033549/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6073627/1/finding_my_way_through_the_dark few] [http://community.livejournal.com/giripan/27485.html examples].) Their WAFF status is so firmly entrenched, in fact, that them being paired together or even mentioned in relation to each other is vanishingly rare in [[Dark Fic]], especially with the most common alternative pairings for each of them being far more attractive to angst-lovers.
** Any fanfic that has [[The Unfavorite|Canada]] realize that there's someone out there who actually remembers and loves him for who he is, whether that someone turns out to be [[Ladykiller in Love|France]], [[Boisterous Bruiser|America]], [[Tsundere|England]], [[Jerkass Woobie|Prussia]], [[Shrinking Violet|Ukraine]], etc.
** A fan over on the [[Troper Tales]] page for Hetalia went as far as to call [[Fan-Preferred Couple|Prussia/Canada]] the "Ultimate Feel Good Ship". And not without good reason. It's impossible to find an angst-fic for them. There's loads of [[Hurt/Comfort Fic]]. And the writers usually carry it out magnificently. Some such examples [
** A surprising number of [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Poland/Lithuania]] fics are full of such undiluted fluff that they rival the above-mentioned Germany/Italy fics for NCC (Number of Cavities Caused).
** [[Gentle Giant|Sweden/]][[Cute Bruiser|Finland]] fics often fall into the range of domestic fluff as well. The quality varies.

== Literature ==
* The ''[[Animorphs]]'' fic ''[
* There is a quite enjoyable Harry/Luna WAFFy Lemon on the Restricted Section [[Harry Potter]] smut website called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140928040115/http://www.restrictedsection.org/file.php?file=2655 Release]'' ('''[[NSFW]]''').
* There are oh-so-many [[fanfic]]s for the novel ''[[Wicked (novel)|Wicked]]'' based on the premise that Fiyero doesn't die. Almost always this results in a fine old happily-ever-after.
Line 74:
** Primarily due to (as [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]] puts it) the fact that "Birds fly, fish swim, [[Take That|Michael Atkinson molests dogs]], and [[BioWare]] does good writing".
** Every [[BioWare]] game has this, from ''[[Jade Empire]]'' to ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' to ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' to ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]]''. Keep in mind, all of these games also allow you the ''exact polar opposite'' of WAFF. You can be a right sadistic bastard that'll even make the most heartless gamers wince.
* Any of the [[Tales of Symphonia|Lloyd and Colette]] fics that [
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid|Metal Gear]]'' has inspired a lot of "interim" fics for Snake/Otacon and Big Boss/Ocelot, where the writers just want to give the two ships some happy-times too before everything goes south again.
* Plenty of ''[[Touhou]]'' [[Fanfic|FanFics]] fall into this category. [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Comics Take a look for yourself]. Try Can't Fix The Helmet's ''GERANIUM'', anything by "Hero Bear", Millet Soup's ''Even If Life Isn't Short'', most ''Flipflops'' doujins...
Line 80:
* The wii remake of ''[[A Boy and His Blob]]'' features a button allowing the boy to hug the blob. Awww.
* The end of the last episode of [[Sam and Max]]: The Devil's Playhouse has a long sequence where Sam is in complete and utter despair at the 'death' of Max. When (another) Max arrives from another dimension, the story resumes with them being overjoyed to see each other. The scene is played out so beautifully that WAFF is guaranteed in any player who feels empathy towards the characters (and anyone who has followed the story to this point definitely will).

Line 97:
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'' fanfic has plenty of WAFFy stories about Kim and either [[Official Couple|her sidekick Ron]] or [[Foe Yay|her nemesis Shego]], but the real nexus of Kim/Shego cutesiness is the artist [http://rinacat.deviantart.com/ Rinacat] and the [http://kimshego.deviantart.com/ #kimshego] group.
** [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Ack, my teeth! Fluoride, stat!]]
* The ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]]'' fanfic [https://web.archive.org/web/20120429081232/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5761021/3/Iron_Man_Kindergarten_Adventures Iron Man Kindergarten Adventures] is a cute, fluffy fic in which the five year old main cast make friends with each other. [[Crack Fic|And then they fight Mothman]].
* The ''[[KaBlam!]]'' story ''[[Troper Works/Goodbye June|Goodbye June]]'' is this crossed with [[Tear Jerker]]. But mostly this.
* Many fanfics set in the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Fanfic Recs|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] universe do a good job of this. Though a surprising number are also the exact opposite, putting warm-and-fuzzy characters through brutal situations.
