Title: Things That Start With B by orphan_account
Fandom: Sesame Street
Character/Pairing: Bert/Ernie
Word Count: 385
Summary: “Ernie is naming things that start with the letter B. Bert thinks doing this in the middle of their wedding is a bad idea.“
Why I Rec This Fic: Their voices are captured perfectly, and it is just sweet and hopeful way to celebrate marriage equality.

"Ernie, now is not the time to draw letters. We are getting married, right now, this minute. We have walked down the aisle and we are standing in front of the minister!"

Title: On the Origins of the American Eagle by Meltha
Fandom: Muppet Show
Character/Pairing: Sam the eagle
Word Count: 1979
Summary: “Sam the Eagle looks back on the path that brought him to live with a bunch of weirdos. Takes place during A Muppet Family Christmas.“
Why I Rec This Fic: The humor is great, and in true Muppets fashion it is also very heartwarming (found familes forever).

And as the lobsters pulled tiny pistols out of their gaucho hats and escaped out the back door, just as Sam had suspected they would, he thought that “almost perfectly” was good enough for him.

Title: So Anyway by chicafrom3
Fandom: Muppet Show, Muppets (2011)
Character/Pairing: Camilla, Camilla/Gonzo
Word Count: 1194
Summary: “Don't be stupid, Camilla, they told her. Nobody's going to hire a chicken from the sticks to be a singer.“
Why I Rec This Fic: There is something in seeing woman/lbtq+/otherwise mis-/under-represented people have a marvelour time, that gives me a marvelous time too. And then there is the aspect of going on, living on after defeat – in a spirit that remainds me of the Pixar movies like the end of the Monster University – the repetition of the things she did anyway remaind me of
„In the dark times,/Will there also be singing?/Yes, there will also be singing/About the dark times.“-Bertolt Brecht, “Motto,” translated by John Willet
which i realize sound pretentious as fuck but i am just a sap, and this is how my mind works, honestly.

When one of her girlfriends brought her the listing, that The Muppet Show was looking for chickens for a tap-dancing act, she saw her future.
She didn't know how to tap dance.
She went anyway.)

Title: Clover by puffythepig
Fandom: The Muppets (TV 2015)
Character/Pairing: Miss Piggy, Janice, Ensemble Cast
Janice/Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear/Kermit the Frog
Word Count: 2049
Summary: The Muppets go camping.
Why I Rec This Fic: My fav bit with the muppets were always the essemble hanging around like a big weird family so I like the inclusion of that, and everyone deserves a bit more nice in their relationship so I am there for Piggy/Janice and Foggy/Kermit.

“Oh, and I found your hairspray! It took a while but here it is!” Gonzo took a fish from behind him and presented it.
“Gonzo…that’s a fish, not my hairspray.”
“The fish won’t spit it out, but it still works. See?” Gonzo sprayed the fire and made it blaze up wildly, laughing as the other flinched away from it. In the campfire’s light, Piggy could see Kermit across from her, and how he clinged to Fozzie tightly to dodge firecrackers. She tried to ignore the pit in her stomach that formed, but alas couldn’t.
