** 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] [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 [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5784981/1/The_bInvasion_b_bDomestic_b would] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5350017/1/bSimple_b_bEnough_b be called for], but they're ''all over the place'', you can't miss them.
** 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.
Line 76:
* ''[[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...
* Non-fanfic example: ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]: 358/2 Days'' has a large chunk of cutscenes of the characters Roxas, Axel, and Xion [[Villains Out Shopping|sitting on the Twilight Town clock tower and eating ice cream]], with a good amount of best-friend talk to make any player laugh along lightheartedly. But then comes the [[Wham! Episode]] [[Tear Jerker|at the end...]]
* 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).
