Line 4:
Frequently seen as a feature of [[Continuation]] fics that attempt to [[Cleaning Up Romantic Loose Ends|tie up the romantic loose ends]] left by a series that ended without resolving them, but can be found for just about any reason for any fandom.
 
Also seen in the adjective form [[Buffy -Speak|"WAFFy"]].
 
WAFFy [[Lemon]] is a comparatively rare crossbreed of [[Fanfic]], but [[SturgeonsSturgeon's Law|surprisingly]], several good pieces have come out of this combination. Apparently, the idea of writing ''romantic'' sexual interludes as opposed to [[Porn Without Plot]] brings out a lot of inspiration.
 
When a WAFF ''is'' a [[Porn Without Plot]] (with or without sex), it's [[Curtain Fic]].
Line 12:
More serious or "[[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|cynical]]" series tend to inspire WAFF fanfics, in the same way comedies or "idealistic" series inspire [[Dark Fic]].
 
See also [[Glurge]], [[Tastes Like Diabetes]], [[Lighter and Softer]], [[Sweet Dreams Fuel (Sugar Wiki)|Sweet Dreams Fuel]]. When it works, it's a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. Not to be confused with WAUGH, as in [[Evelyn Waugh]], [[Batman (TV)|"Waugh, waugh, waugh"]], or '''"WAAAGH!"''', which is something [[Warhammer 40000 (Tabletop Game)|very different]]. Or the Australian cricketers.
 
{{examples|Examples}}
 
== Anime & Manga ==
* ''[[I Won't Say (Fanfic)|I Won't Say]]'' ([http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4760868/1/I_Wont_Say\ direct link]) an '''''adorable''''' ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'' ([[Slash Fic|Light/L]]) [[Christmas Special]] [[Fanfic]].
* A cute ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7188708/1/Misguided_Ghost/ story] about Lelouch and Suzaku meeting C2 as children.
* The number of ''[[Ranma One Half½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half½]]'' 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! (Anime)|Tenchi Muyo!]]!''
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6080479/1/Snapshots_Its_a_Girl Snapshots: It's a girl]is supplementary WAFF-material to an extremely long, well-written, and not warm or fuzzy fic for [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] entitled "Fullmetal Alchemist:Forever", the authour of both stories has written a series of anecdotes about Edward and his daughter, Amy. The first one takes place just before her birth, the last one is Amy's earliest memory of her Dad [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6080479/1/Snapshots_Its_a_Girl It can be found here.]
** 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 (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' -- at least a moment of happiness, if not a full-fledged [[Happily Ever After]] ending.
