The Flufferverse
is a series of Animorphs Alternate Universe Fics by LilacOunce. In this timeline, Tobias didn't make it out of the Yeerk Pool alive after he got stuck as a hawk — but fortunately, the Ellimist offers to resurrect him as a morph-capable human on the condition that Crayak gets to make a counteroffer in the future. This is bad news for Rachel.

The series as a whole
- Epigraph: Every chapter begins with multiple literary quotes.
- Named by the Adaptation: Tobias' surname is Kushner here.
- Point of Divergence: This series diverges from canon because Tobias isn't stuck in morph.
- Shapeshifting Heals Wounds: Defied in the case of Tobias; he notices that his wounds don't always heal when he morphs, unlike the others.
The Divergence
- First-Episode Twist: The Ellimist saves Tobias from dying as a nothlit. This happens in the last chapter, but is critical to the premise of this AU.
- Gutted Like a Fish: Tobias is sliced open and then stepped on by a Hork-Bajir-Controller. He gets better, but he still has a massive scar down his chest as a human.
- I Never Told You My Name: Tobias overhears Tom yelling that one of the Andalite bandits knew his name, and wonders how careless Jake was.
The Countdown
- As You Know: Rachel starts to describe Yeerks in her narration, then says, "but if you didn't know that by now, I'd ask why you're reading something with my name on it."
- Yiddish as a Second Language: Rachel tells Jordan to "gey aroys", meaning "go away".
