''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/45638383/chapters/114841111 A Big Blue House in Tall Pine Grove]]'' is a fanfic based on ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'', penned by Creator/NoonboryKedabory and billed as a continuation of the original series.

Bear and his little gang of friends have moved into a new Big Blue House in a secluded cul-de-sac surrounded by pine trees, known as Tall Pine Grove. There, they go on their usual funny adventures with their new friends, Sandrine the Parisian kitty, university student Theresa, shy calf Lumpy, and the three fireflies, Shine, Bright, and Diamond. There also happens to be a Fraggle hole near the community garden, making the story a {{crossover}} with ''Series/FraggleRock''.

Additionally, some stories featuring the location have been published outside the main fanfic. These stories are called ''Tall Pine Tales'', and typically focus on the supporting cast outside the Big Blue House.

!!Tropes:

[[folder:General]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: The three new core characters; Sandrine has a pink house and a pink dress, Theresa has a red house and a red shirt, and Lumpy has a yellow cottage and a yellow dress.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Sandrine, a very feminine kitty, wears a pink dress.
* PutOnABus: Because the pine trees in the grove are so tall, the sky can't easily be seen, so Bear is unable to talk to Luna at night. The first chapter ends with Luna leaving Bear a letter, and Bear meeting Luna's firefly friends, who he can talk to instead.
* ShoutOut: The three fireflies are named Shine, Bright, and Diamond. [[Music/{{Rihanna}} Shine bright like a diamond]].
* TeamMom: To go along with Bear being the understanding, yet playful TeamDad, Theresa is the gentle, reassuring, motherly friend.

* QuizzicalTilt: Treelo cocks his head at Bear when he hears that the new house has an otter pond, just like the old house.
