History Adorkable / FanWorks

* Otacon in ''Fanfic/{{Stray}}'' is the epitome of nerdy cuteness. Even a character who isn't his LoveInterest remarks on it.

* Jonathan Joestar is just as adorkable in ''Fanfic/JonathanJoestarTheFirstJoJo'' as he is in the source material, being the same GentleGiant and AllLovingHero to his [[KidFromTheFuture descendants]], his AlternateSelf, and his [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs alternate self's descendant]]. His FishOutOfTemporalWater tendencies are also cute, such as his excitement and wonder at [[FightingSpirit Stands]] and future technology or averting his eyes from Jolyne's [[BareYourMidriff skimpy outfit]] out of politeness.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail''
** Chloe Cerise, whose usually withdrawn and somewhat aloof, is shown to be excited about being on the Infinity Train and has a love of ''Alice in Wonderland'' that she invokes, to the point that she named her pipe, sorry [[InsistentTerminology donut holer]], Cheshire.
** Lexi is a book with a humanoid form that's based off ''[[Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS Specter]]'' but has a childish love of stories, does his best to make juice and a sandwich for Chloe to eat and will even dance to the Lobster Quadrille with her. He also has a love of gryphons.

%%* The nerdiness of Twilight and Luna gets dialled [[UpToEleven up to about fifteen]] in the fanfic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.ne %% Fix the URL please

* In ''FanFic/ACharmedLife,'' Light Yagami is a huge nerd. He just happens to be an [[VillainProtagonist evil]] and [[HollywoodNerd handsome]] huge nerd who is [[MasterActor skilled at acting]] and is able to put up a charming front in public. In private, however, he can be quite a dork, for example when he looks to ''Franchise/StarTrek'' [[WhatWouldXDo for guidance in his life]].

* Medli can come across as a cute duck dork in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13105443/1/The-Legend-of-Zelda-The-Wind-Waker "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker"]]. She [[CuddleBug tends to hug people when she's excited]] to the point where she [[AccidentalHug does it without thinking]] and gets embarrassed. She also gets very excited when Link recaps his adventure to her.

* Cendrillon Jospin in the eponymous fanfic "Cendrillon Jospin". She's a total spaz, she manages to utterly fail at seducing either of the two guys she likes, and she spends the night before her big mission feeling ACupAngst towards her more attractive cousin. However, she has enough drive to cat-herd a disparate group of geeks into restarting her civilization's space program.

* The nerdiness of Twilight and Luna gets dialled [[UpToEleven up to about fifteen]] in the fanfic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.ne

* The nerdiness of Twilight and Luna gets dialled [[UpToEleven up to about fifteen]] in the fanfic ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/2792/Too-Intelligent-to-be-Loved Too Intelligent to be Loved]]'', and it is ''adorable''. In chapter 5, Twilight decides to throw a "science party" with events like Guess-That-Mold-Culture and All-You-Can-Titrate. Luna is so enthused at the prospect she begins spouting [[TotallyRadical seriously out-of-date]], [[{{Malaproper}} badly mishandled slang]] that she [[NotSoDifferent learned from a book entitled "1001 Idioms and Colloquialisms"]].
-->'''Luna:''' This is great! [[RoyalWe We]] cannot wait! Astronomical Observations! Telescope Calibration! And Trivia Pursuit! This should be a detonation! Is that the right wording? This should be a detonation?\\
'''Celestia''': ’This should be a blast’ is more commonly used.
%% ** The Cutie Mark Crusaders' show was so cute and awkward!
* ''FanFic/TriptychContinuum'' has Twilight Sparkle, whose immediate reaction to seeing Rarity's eyes have changed colour is to start working out a comprehensive test for any changes in perception Rarity might have.
* ''FanFic/TheTwilightChild'':
** In Carrot Top's brief appearance, she mentions she once got so bored during Cider Season, which she usually spends on her own due to not being obsessive over apple cider, she started making dioramas out of carrots.
** Cadence borrows a page from Twilight Sparkle's book at one point when Celestia agrees to officiate her wedding, and she starts hopping in a circle.
* ''FanFic/WhatHathJoinedTogether'':
** Princess Twilight Sparkle is very enthusiastic about learning and typically cheerful, but she's pretty socially awkward and stammers when an event doesn't go as planned (like dropping her papers and forgetting to use her magic to pick them up due to embarrassment).
** Flash Sentry is typically well-composed, but when he's around his [[BodyguardCrush crush and protectee Twilight]] his grip on his emotions is loosened. When he unexpectedly bumps into Twilight in a hallway, he stumbles through his apology, bowed to her twice more than he should have, and then ran away to avoid making a bigger fool of himself, which is just one of the earliest examples.
* When we first meet Spark Wheel of ''Fanfic/WithoutAHive'', he's a sweet, awkward orphan colt who builds toy robots and flying machines out of junk at his orphanage. When we meet him again as an adult, he's been adopted by a wealthy family who sent him to a technical school, and now he's working on a ''real'' flying machine decades in advance of Equestrian technology. He's still sweet and awkward, though.
* Topaz, a pegasus entomologist whom [[TheHero Idol]] encounters in ''FanFic/TheChangelingOfTheGuard'', goes into a full-on, extremely adorable {{Nerdgasm}} when she discovers that he's a [[ShapeShifter change]][[BeePeople ling]].
* ''Fanfic/TheDemesneOfTheReluctantTwilightSparkle'':
** Twilight again, highlighted further by her stream-of-consciousness narration.
** Twilight's assistant Golden Retriever, who is much like her but even more nervous and shy, in large part due to her {{Unfortunate Name|s}}.
* ''Webcomic/TwilightsFirstDay'', focusing on a young Twilight Sparkle starting at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, emphasises the adorkable aspects of her personality. However, plenty of the adult cast have their moments too, from the slightly ditzy literature teacher Flyleaf gushing about the wonders of libraries, to the tough and grizzled military pony Thunderhead boasting about the time he saved Princess Celestia from a rogue griffon attack.
* ''Fanfic/{{Pandemic}}'': This is Starlight's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] opinion of Twilight's foalhood journal entries in chapter 22.
* Luna describes Dusk Skyshine as this to Moondreamer Finemare in ''Fanfic/AMeetingByMoonlight''. At least he seemed that way to her when they were young: by "[[Fanfic/ThirtySecondsOverToKiRin Thirty Seconds Over To-Ki-Rin]]" he's become more of an ActionHero.
* Twilight is this in ''Fanfic/Arrow18MissionLogs'', as per canon, but her reaction to realizing that Randy is trying to communicate with her using ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome MATH]]'' is a standout.
* Sunset considers Twilight to be this in ''Fanfic/TheMeaningOfHarmony'', mostly when she's geeking out over the magical constructs in the Forges of Harmony.

[[AC:''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'']]
* ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust'': Maya is a lovely, nice, clumsy young woman with a tendency to embarrass herself when she talks to her not-so-secret crush. Said crush thinks that she's "adorkable".

[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* Cameron Taylor from ''FanFic/{{Pokeumans}}'' is a shy little awkward postman who can't tell his love interest that he has a crush on her. Then again, [[TookALevelInBadass he grows cooler with time.]]
* ''Fanfic/Ancienverse'': Despite being a fierce battler and Runner-Up of the Kalos League, Ash still acts with giddy excitement upon arriving in Alola.

[[AC: ''Videogame/{{Portal}}'']]
* In the fanfic ''[[Fanfic/BlueSky Blue Sky]]'' (a ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' fic) the RidiculouslyHumanRobot [[spoiler:and his once [[WhiteCollarWorker human]] self]], Wheatley is portrayed this way. Being 6 feet 7 inches tall, lanky, clumsy, goofy, sweet (at his better moments), wears glasses, and [[MotorMouth is bound to go off on many ''many'' monologue style]] [[CloudCuckooLander tangents]].
* Wheatley in the ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' fic ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953776/1/Test_Of_Humanity Test Of Humanity]]'' after becoming a cyborg ([=GLaDOS=] implanted his "brain" into a human body ForScience). Tall, nerdy-looking, clumsy, noticeably chubby, yet friendly and well-meaning. Even Chell admits she finds his awkward nature to be endearing and it's part of the reason [[spoiler:she falls in love with him.]]

[[AC:''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'']]
* A lot of ''Prince of Tennis'' fanfiction involving [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Kaidou Kaoru]] involves him being an adorable dork when he is in a relationship.

** Lila is a blushy mess in most of her interactions with Penny.

[[AC: ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/PersonaTheSougawaFiles'': Just about every member of the Freedom Fighters falls into this at one point or another, but there are some standouts.
** Wilma is the poster child for this, being a [[ShrinkingViolet shy]], [[NiceGirl adorable]] girl who crafts metal weaponry and obviously has [[EveryoneCanSeeIt a biiiig crush on]] [[TheHero Rina]].
** Tamiko is an enthusiastic {{Chuunibyou}} who constantly goes into excited speeches about her magical potential and has an adorable sister-like relationship with [[StraightMan Ryouichi]].

[[AC: ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
* ''Fanfic/ForumOfThrones'':
** Dairon, who has a lack of social skills, is shy and friendly and a bookish nerd. [[spoiler:Which makes his early death all the more tragic.]]
** Hjalgar has shades of this as well. He is one of the few genuinely nice and kind Ironborn in the story, very shy and his unwillingness to kill others can come across as endearing. That said, he is a serious case of BewareTheNiceOnes.
** Arthur Nathamer becomes a cute dork whenever he encounters a beautiful woman to crush on.

[[AC: ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'']]
* ''[[http://alwayshavingjuice.tumblr.com/post/23181778165/i-figured-that-since-most-of-the-non-robotic Silver]]'' from ''Blog/AlwaysHavingJuice'', a Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog CharacterBlog set in a verse featuring elements from but presented differently from the games, the comics, and other media. Such as Silver the Hedgehog possibly the most adorable robot with a NiceHat you'll see all week.
* ''FanFic/CosmoFindsTails''. Par for the course for Tails, but Cosmo gets in on the act too. She stutters her way through most conversations, is easily flustered by her sister's teasing and reads botany books with the enthusiasm most people listen to music.

* In the semi-genderbent fanfic ''Fanfic/TheKiritaChronicles'', Kirigaya Kazuta, a.k.a. Kirita, the genderbent version of Kirito, has problems speaking with males. She tends to be more hesitant and stutters more when talking to them in comparison to how confident and strong she is when she is fighting monsters.

[[AC: ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'']]
* ''Fanfic/UnbreakableRedSilkenThread'': Cody is acts like a cute dork especially early on in the story when his and Heather's relationship is just starting out.

[[AC: ''Literature/{{Worm}}'']]
* In the fic ''FanFic/{{Security}}'', Amy Dallon is placed with the Hebert family to get her away from the numerous problems she is facing at home. She bonds with them so well that she ends up calling Danny Hebert 'Dad' by accident, more than once. He doesn't correct her.


%% [[AC: Unsorted]]

%% * Adam Squall, the AuthorAvatar of ''Fanfic/RiseOfTheGaleforces'', if [[http://fav.me/d3jrbr5 his official artwork]] is anything to go by. May [[HoldYourHippogriffs Niobrara]] have mercy on your poor soul, however, if you call him a [[BerserkButton "dino]][[ArtisticLicensePaleontology saur."]]
%% * The ''Blog/ReadingRainbowverse'':
%% ** Twilight Sparkle
%% ** Shining Armor's assistant Snowberry.
* The fanfic ''FanFic/BecauseImNotPopularIllTryToGoOutWithAHero'' has Peter Parker (''Franchise/SpiderMan'') is rather shy and awkward (and adorably dorky) out of costume.
%% ** [[Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular Tomoko Kuroki]] can be Adorkable, whenever she's not being a pervert or a JerkAss.
%% * [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins Alistair]]'s adorkable tendencies are turned UpToEleven in ''Fanfic/ShadowAndRose'', because he's been promoted to protagonist. The entire story is him writing in his personal journal throughout the events of the game, and when it comes to most things - particularly as he falls in love - he's practically the walking definition of the trope.
* ''Literature/VioletThiefOfTheHermitCore'':
** Lana, being the token rich kid, grew up in luxury. Her attempts to adjust to society in a lower living standard can be quite cute and funny to read.
** Gen. His kindness and naivete, in addition to his IdiotHero tendencies, are quite endearing.
** Laven, post CharacterDevelopment. He is InnocentlyInsensitive, lacks social skills, and extremely blunt.
