Thanks for reading these short, cute little stories! I really enjoyed writing them! More will slowly be added in the future, so stay tuned! Let me know if you have any ideas/requests and also if you see any mistakes.

The Nerd

Ah, the first Gumball story I ever wrote. I had the idea for the "You're our nerd" line first and the rest of the story started to form from there. I wanted to show more of Gumball's soft side, behind all the sarcasm and narcissism. I always liked the idea of him having a soft spot for Anais.

The Thunderstorm

Had the idea for this during a thunderstorm. Felt like we still needed some more closure after The Rival, with Anais truly accepting Gumball. Will probably do one with Darwin as well eventually to get closure with him too.

The Friend

This story came about as I'd done a lot of Gumball stuff and wanted to do some more stuff with Darwin and Anais and also because we never really saw much of the two interacting without Gumball, despite Anais claiming Darwin was her favorite, so I wanted to actually show some of their bond.

The Teacher

We've had enough of Gumball comforting Anais, let's do the reverse! I wanted to show some of Anais using her smarts and what better way to do that than to help her brother outsmart his evil teacher? I also wanted to show she actually does care about her brothers, because the show often made it seem like she didn't care about them or even disliked them.

The Protection

Requested to me by adolfotovar78. To summarise, the prompt I was given was, 'Anais gets badly hurt in a fight at school and tries to hide it from Gumball and Darwin'. The prompt only went up to Gumball and Darwin finding out so I was free to do whatever I wanted from then on, and I think it turned out great!

The story was originally called 'The Scars' but that made it feel like the story was way more adult than it actually was so I went with the more fitting name 'The Protection'

I also took a little inspiration from T. Funk the Coolmunk's 'The Sister' with the reasoning for Julius being mad at Anais being the same as in that story, as I thought it worked well (and it saved me having to think up something else)

I also added in the nightmare scene at the end a while after I'd already scripted the rest of the story as I had the idea for it and just had to put it in as it was so adorable!

Thanks for the request adolfotovar, I hope I did it justice!

The Pet

Inspired by marsogoswife's stories on Wattpad, I decided to write my own Darwin hurt/comfort one shot as so far they've all been about Anais whether that be from Gumball/Darwin towards her or her towards them, and it was about time to do one of the main duo!

I decided to make it around/related to the events of The Roots as Darwin felt oddly okay with it afterward and just immediately shrugged it off once he got back to them.

'The Purr of Love' was inspired by the 'True Purr' in Hatoralo's 'The Cuddling'. I thought it was a really cute idea so decided to make my own version of it, which made for a cute little bonding moment.

A couple of moments in this story did feel like they could be perceived more romantically than platonically and, though not my intention, if you want to perceive it in that manner then it works just as well and I have nothing against it.

Overall, I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed writing it! If you're interested in more Darwin hurt/comfort fics I recommend my other story of the same nature, 'The Heartbreak', where Darwin mistakenly believes Gumball hates him and wants to get rid of him after overhearing a phone call, as well as all of marsogoswife's Gumball stories, they're fantastic!

The Prank-The Revenge

All of these were originally released as part of my TAWOG Fanfic Advent Calendar 2022, and have now been crossposted to this collection too.

The School

Had the idea for this one a while back. I finished planning it out as I was writing The Girls, and though not part of Fickleness' original idea adding in Anais and Masami having a feud to tease this oneshot was an idea I couldn't resist. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

The Baby

Had the idea for this one after seeing a bunch of different fan art on Twitter by Rosza. Thought it would be a cute adorable little bonding oneshot between the two of them, and it shows Gumball finally getting to babysit his sister in the right way!

The first idea came with the jam-covered Anais drawing. I had the idea of Gumball walking in on it and it was just too hilarious not to do. Then I saw the tired Nicole holding baby Anais, and boom I had my reason for him walking in. The rest slowly developed from there, and overall I'm really happy with how it turned out!

The Replacement

Requested to me by SheDemonAndrea. She requested I do a oneshot about Gumball having a nightmare and Darwin comforting him, and after redoing my EWW: The Third, I had the perfect idea for what that nightmare would be.

The panic attack part of the story was based on a request by ravenslog with his request of Gumball having said panic attack and being comforted by Darwin and Anais. I had already done a story of this premise with Penny being the one comforting him so I didn't think it was worth doing it as it's own story, but decided to implement it into this one as it worked really well.

The Feeling

Sugaryatlcaires originally suggested this for a chapter on Catlike Instincts over on AO3 in 2021, but the author said that it was unlikely he would do it. So, when I saw and loved the idea I naturally asked if I could do it instead!

And here it is...almost a year later...sorry you had to wait so long!

The plot in my version is essentially 1:1 what the original was, just with some added or extended parts such as the argument over who got to go where, Gumball winding Anais up with Daisy, and Darwin walking in and finding Anais writing in her diary, to help with pacing and make it feel more fleshed out.

Overall, this one was super cute and unique oneshot to write, and I really enjoyed doing so, and I hope you emjoyed writing it as much as I did!

The Sisters

his oneshot came from a request by NicStar211. Their original idea was initially just Anais getting jealous and things heating up until she and Gumball finally talked it out. But, I thought it needed some more. Some extra element to the story to make it more fun. And that's when I had the idea of Anais deciding to get revenge.

I always wanted to see more of the evil, manipulative side of Anais and that was a prime chance to see her at her most evil.

Then of course I need the plan to go wrong somehow so Gumball could find out about it, and what could be worse than Polly's shell getting cracked?

The rest of the story basically formed from there, and overall this was a really fun one to write! I hope I fulfilled the request as well as you hoped!

The Noise

Another oneshot suggested to me by NicStar11 after he pointed out to me how little of Darwin and Anais I had done. I had noticed this myself, and had been wanting to do some more with them, but was struggling to come up with ideas. Luckily NicStar came through and provided me with this one.

The premise was super cute, and also allowed for me to finally fulfill my promise of a Baby Anais and Darwin story that I made WAAAAAAAY back at the end of The Thunderstorm. ..Sorry it took so long to finally do!

Plus, with Halloween coming up the horror movie aspect was perfect (yes I know I released this November 2nd, it was a little late out but oh well). If you didn't work it out the movie Anais watched was an obvious reference to the recently released Five Nights at Freddy's movie. With it coming out only a few days ago I knew I had to include a reference to it! Oh, and The Shineying was of course a parody of the infamous horror movie 'The Shining'.

Gumball dreaming about playing with a ball of yarn was a quick thing I decided to chuck in after I read Gumball_fan_247's Halloween oneshots where such a thing was mentioned. It's such a him thing to do and I just had to include it!

Overall I'm really happy with this! The fandom is really lacking in Darwin & Anais content, especially with the fact that Darwin is supposed to be her favorite sibling, and I was glad to help add to what little we have! Oh, and definitely expect even more Darwin & Anais oneshots in the future as I have at least a couple ideas for some now!
