Title: don't fly away from me by KDblack
Fandom: Dragonball (Z)
Character/Pairing: Son Gohan & Son Goku,
Son Gohan, Son Goku, Bulma Briefs
Summary: „Growing Pains“
Wordcount: 1381
Warnings: ableism, trauma, canon typical child abuse,
Why I Rec This Fic: This fic gave me a lot of feels, complicated (family) relationships are my jam, and this nails the pain without being black and white about it. I also adore Bulma in this, she is all the hard edges that are her but she is also kind and that matters – and in both of this things the fic adress stuff I seen in fandom I do not like („ the concept of mental age is bull“ direct quote!).

18 and 17 hadn’t discussed it – not out loud – but they were keeping 20. They had found him, and they liked him, so he was theirs. 18 wasn’t really sure how friendship worked anymore – another piece of knowledge Gero hadn’t felt that his creations needed – but she thought that this was something like that. Machines didn’t have friends, but 17 and 18 did. He was short and a little odd (“Kind,” a faint voice supplied in the back of her head that sounded almost like 18 but not), but that didn’t matter. t was one more small brush with humanity. One more defiance of Dr. Gero’s programming.

Title: Desert Demon by No1fan15
Fandom: Dragon Ball series
Character/Pairing: Tenshinhan,Yamcha,Chiaotzu,Puar
Tenshinhan/Yamcha
Word Count: 7980
Summary: AU Setting: "Wandering medium Tien and his half-spirit brother Chiaotzu get called out into the Diablo desert on a job. The first spirit they find isn't the one they're looking for. (But don't tell him that.)"
Why I Rec This Fic: Its the most unapologetic fluff ever, Tien and Yamcha are married, bad at flirting and have never been kissed before, they make the most of it all and i was grinning through it all, its a real cheer up pick for me, and i hope it can make someone else (even if just a bit) as happy as me.

“Tien, who's that?”
Tien quickly removed his hand and spun around to see Chiaotzu rubbing his eyes as he woke up.
“It's a spirit. His name is Yamcha.” Tien stated. Chiaotzu looked over at Yamcha, intrigued. “Is he the demon?” he asked.
“The locals may call him that but I don't think he's the one we're looking for.” Tien admitted. Yamcha's smirk returned.
“Even if you weren't looking for me you still found me. It must be destiny.” he said dramatically.
“I doubt that.” Tien grumbled. He ignored the wink Yamcha sent his way.
“I think he really likes you Tien.” Chiaotzu said with a giggle. Yamcha grinned at the little half spirit.
“Finally, someone noticed. Here I was thinking I'd be stuck flirting forever.” he said, earning another giggle from Chiaotzu. Tien blushed and crossed his arms.

Title: On Their Backs by benvoliotheorphan
Fandom: Dragon Ball series
Character/Pairing: Bra Briefs, Vegeta, Son Goku, Chi-Chi, Son Goten, Son Pan, Marron, Android 18
Word Count: 7914
Warnings: Suicide, Zombie Apocalypse, Angst, major character death
Summary: AU Setting: "It didn’t take them long to bury the bodies. As they stood over the unmarked graves, Bra wondered if she should at least be grateful that they were able to do something with their bodies.
She was so tired of losing people.
(an au based on the video game The Last of Us.)"
Why I Rec This Fic: I love the characters this focused on, love Bras voice in this, and the female friendship (femslash? I never played The Last of Us but i think it is canon?).
