Well, regardless of how anyone feels about the new Star Fox game for the Switch 2, now is a time that people are all chatting more about the series at the moment.
So, before that Star Fox interest goes away, now is a good time to share some fanfics that we have here...
----------
---Non-Shipping Fanfics---
Star Wolf: Declassified - A short trio of one-shots detailing the rogue Star Wolf team from the Star Fox: Assault era.
Nexus of Lylat - Bit of a longer story with an open ending where Fox's son is struggling with a doomed future while Fox builds a bigger team in the present.
---Shipping Fanfics---
Spending the Night - A small "choose your adventure partner" story where Fox gets closer with one of his teammates from the Lyalt Wars (Star Fox 64) era.
Obsessive Tendencies - Falco trying to hide his rather obvious crush while team computer ROB has fun with it.
Plucking Thorns - Set after Star Fox: Command, Fox catches up with a sulking Panther, inquiring about a previous lover before getting closer with one another.
Your Thieving Heart - Post-Star Fox 64, but an AU, where Star Fox has a run-in with a rogue flirt while trying to help General Pepper.
Nitwit Nonsense - When a clash between Star Fox and Star Wolf just goes the wrong way entirely, shenanigans ensue.
Favorite Café - Explorative one-shot of Katt meeting Panther, since they oddly never interacted. (The one M/F fanfic lol.)
---Crossover Fanfics---
A Spirited Story - A shipping giftfic that involved writing a Smash Bros. story where Fox and Wolf get into their usual chasing game...
Visitors - Bit of an odd crossover between Star Fox and Watership Down, which was a fun concept attempt!
----------
So!
You wanna rock and roll with a few reads, or what?

Broken Gods Chapter 3: A Look Into the Past.
Summary:
Lambert must deal with a lot. From figuring out who has been causing the damages to both the lumberyard and medicinal section of the farmland, a follower who has been very rebellious, a cat who has probably the worst reputation, and unsettling nightmares. Narinder also deals with the nightmares and fairly early in their second trip to Darkwood proves challenging.
Lol, I was gonna use "latest" for the title, but "newer" got a giggle out of me, so, there we go.
Anyway! Hello to my selective few Bowsario (aka Bowser/Mario) shipping fans. I know there aren't very many of us out there, lol, but hey, we exist! And we have what fun we can.
It's been a few years since I made this kind of post, but I collected the fanfics that I've written in the past (found on this link and then also on this one too) for the pairing.
The content is easy enough to organize elsewhere, but I thought it'd be nice to put it in a convenient spot here too. And maybe some new readers will be delighted by the finds?
So, I figured I'd add a new one, since I've added a bit of new stories since the last post. And I'll share the old stories like I did before as well, because why not?
Presenting the list of the lesser-viewed Enemies-to-Lovers greats!
~~~~~
Amid the Roses - Set in an alternate universe where Mario and Bowser are removed from the Mushroom Kingdom conflicts, this stars the pair as a flower shop owner and tattoo parlor artist respectively. They end up meeting and bonding in a new way here!
Constellation Quelling - A much more traditional fare for the couple, this story has Bowser interrupt Mario while he's alone and relaxing. They bicker at first, but soon open up to one another in a way neither really expected, and the stars above certainly set a mood...
Distant Dawn - Based on a fanfic prompt from years ago on Tumblr, this is a short story to show some early morning musings from Bowser, who considers how his new relationship with Mario can develop, while a secretly not-slumbering Mario listens.
~~~~~
Along with those latest stories listed above, there were a couple of updates to my ongoing Bowsario fanfic, which started a decade ago.
That feels weird to post! But, with some new updates from earlier in the year and more since the last posts, I'll add that below here.
Eternally Never Yours - An ongoing fanfic that details a full affair between Bowser and Mario, as they try to make their seemingly impossible relationship a reality, while struggling to deal with the Mushroom Kingdom at large.
~~~~~
As for the rest, I'll be copying and pasting those below here, so that they can be included too. Makes it a little easier to find it all in one place, I think, right?
Mario’s Defender - A fanfic for Mar10 Day, it tells the story of Mario overhearing some unkind comments about himself, and then a certain someone (Bowser) going back against them.
Time for Tea - Peach has a small tea party gathering between herself and her friends, the Mario Bros. She wanted the brothers to invite their partners, but didn’t realize who Mario would bring until it was too late. Daisy, however, wants to hear the story of how they got together!
Red and Blue - In a slight change to the usual storytelling, this is a story that doesn’t use any dialogue to describe tender moments between Bowser and Mario while they explore a relationship together, going over their thoughts.
Bowser’s Beard - For Bowser Day, a story where Mario and friends go to find out where Peach has been taken, but then find Bowser’s Castle mostly empty when they get there…save for one hairy Koopa King.
Quiet Life - In a “what if…?“ styled story, Bowser is essentially exiled in exchange for the Koopas finally being at peace with the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is the one that brings comfort to him.
Inn’s Covers - While going to an inn before a golf tournament, Mario ends up paired in a room with Bowser. They slowly learn to get along, and then some.
Upon A Dream - After taking a mystical pendant, Bowser ends up in a dream where he’s married to Mario, and grows to not hate it.
Heart of the Ancient Kingdom - Mario and Bowser are sent on a quest back to the oldest parts of the Mushroom Kingdom to retrieve a rare jewel. They go back to World 1-1 of their earliest adventures, and grow closer too.
A Spirited Story - Based on Super Smash Bros., the spirits of Wolf and Fox get into a chase sequence of sorts. Mario and Bowser are among the couples they visit. Not quite from this year, but I’ve included it too.
Wild Cards - A tennis story that focuses on Wario and Waluigi, but has a good deal of shipping support for Mario and Bowser. Also, Bowser wears his tennis outfit and Mario approves.
Jolly Season - A Christmas special that features not only Bowser and Mario as a couple, but some fluff for Peach and Pauline as one too!
~~~~~
Actually, you know what? Speaking of Peach/Pauline, I may as well include those fanfics here too. What the heck, you know?
This group is a series of stories that I started, um...also a decade ago! But, I've only stirred up the latest fanfic recently, so, gotta get to work on that one again.
Nevertheless, if you're a fan of Mario and Bowser being gay, then I hope you might enjoy Peach and Pauline doing so too!
Toying With Her - The first in the series, where Pauline finds a new object of her affections in the famous princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Set prior to Pauline's return as mayor in Mario Odyssey! (This story was from years before that even existed.)
Toying With Them - Sequel to the first, Pauline finds herself invited back to Peach's Castle, and finds several more lovely ladies to inspire her toys. Though she's only musing her crushes, that might not be the case forever...if one happens to read between the lines...
Toying With Peril - Finally set after Pauline's return in Odyssey, Miss Mayor comes back to the Mushroom Kingdom...only to find Peach kidnapped and Mario totally unavailable for the rescuing! Guess who gets to step up to the plate this time? Ongoing for now, but do you think Peach will finally learn of and return Pauline's feelings...?
~~~~~
Ha, I haven't done this for a few years. It's nice to see them all together again. Last time was in 2021, and now we've got this in 2024; I didn't think I'd have enough for another round.
Anyway, I know there are fewer fans of them, but for anyone that might be curious to try fanfics featuring Mario and Bowser as a couple, here's my current listing for them.
Meanwhile, if you want stories from other lovely authors, be sure to explore the tag link which I’ll be adding in right here for Bowser/Mario on AO3! It's grown a lot more since I last posted. There are even new regular posters for the pairing besides me!
Though I'm less practiced on Peach/Pauline (they're called Peachline, if I'm not mistaken), they've grown a bit more from my one-off notion of the ladies in love. (Started that back in 2014!) Find some authors that explore the pairing in better detail here. Hope you enjoy!
Part of me likes the idea of writing some more one-shots for Bowsario fanfics at least, and of course finishing that Peachline story in the future. ENY still has some ways to go, but it's moving towards its later stages finally. I wonder what this will look like next time...
Ah, neither here nor there.
For new readers, welcome, and if you've made it this far, thank you for reading and stroking your curiosity! Hope you enjoy.
For older readers, welcome back! If you find something new or want to revisit an older story, I hope you do so and enjoy too.
To everyone, thank you for reading this, and spending a little while with me! If you read any of the stories, please enjoy! Hope you all take care and have a wonderful day.
Hooray! I've posted 60 fanfics on AO3 in total so far. There's nothing really noteworthy about that besides that itself, but I thought it was fun, so I'm posting about it!
Before we continue though, I wanted to first thank all of the readers of these stories so far! Without any interest, I probably would have stopped years ago, so, it's nice to have the support to continue. So, thank you very much for reading enough that I could post so much!
...
You can find them here, sorted in the order that they were updated last.
There isn't really a lot of particular trivia regarding them, but I'll toss some bits in for fun.
...
...
Managed to post a clean split between 30 fanfics rated G for General Audiences, and 30 fanfics rated T for Teen and Older Audiences.
While I'm personally more than old enough for Mature or Explicit stories, and I haven't totally ruled out writing them in the future, the current fandoms that I write for are usually for wider audiences, and I'd like to be more inclusive with readers. Hence, my rating selections thus far.
It's pretty fun keeping them balanced overall, and I didn't think I'd have as clean of a split by the time I hit 60 overall! (I think I've only recently paid attention, lol.)
...
...
The current total of chapters that I've posted for my top fanfic, the ongoing Super Mario story Eternally Never Yours, has 60 chapters while I have posted 60 fanfics.
While the story had reached 60 first, I updated two more stories since the latest chapter was posted, matching the totals. I'm not sure if I ever had totals matched like that before, and I'm not planning on keeping them that way. But, while it's like that, it's cute to note!
...
That's pretty much the fun bits out of it. Not sure if there are more, but I'm not going to make this post longer than it already is.
Again, thank you to any and all of my readers that follow along with stories and such that I post! It's been over 10 years of my posting on AO3, so, again, I wanted to thank you all very much for that.
Don't have any particular plans besides to continue updating my ongoing fanfics and adding some additional stories in between doing so, but if anything fun comes out of it again, I'll try posting that in the future too.
Anyway, thank you for helping me get here! Hope you all have a wonderful day/week/life. Please take care!
Eternally Never Yours has reached 700+ Kudos, and Inn's Covers has reached 200+ Kudos too! That makes it the second fanfic after ENY to clear 200 at all! Meanwhile, ENY scored an additional 100 Kudos in apparently just 6 months since 600! That’s pretty fast, isn’t it?
Both stories feature relationship development between Mario and Bowser, which may not make as much noise as other pairings in the Super Mario franchise. But it seems like we’ve got some folks out there that enjoy these Enemies to Lovers fanfics and their potential!
Thank you to all the readers that enjoyed both stories! It really makes me happy to see that they're enjoyed so much. And it makes me feel not only less lonely with my interests, but really happy to share them too.
So, thank you all very much! ENY is still updating, but I’ll do my best to keep it going until it’s completed. After all, it’s survived this long thanks to your continued support and interest! Thank you a whole lot again; it really means a lot to know that you’re still invested too.
And now Inn’s Covers proves that Bowsario is more than just a one fanfic wonder. That’s a notable couple ship after all! Thank you all for that too. Let’s keep doing our best!
Well, new and updated, but you get the idea, hopefully.
Anyway!
There are not too many new additions from this year, but I’m not sure if I’ll get to writing more Bowser/Mario stories. (Yes, I too underestimate myself...)
Nevertheless, I wanted to update the list from 2020, and rather than do the easy thing and just reblog the old post, I decided to do this instead!
So, updating the 2020 list to the 2021 updates that I said would happen, here’s some more Mario/Bowser fluff that few asked for, but I delivered anyway!
~~~~~
Mario’s Defender - A fanfic for Mar10 Day, it tells the story of Mario overhearing some unkind comments about himself, and then a certain someone (Bowser) going back against them.
Time for Tea - Peach has a small tea party gathering between herself and her friends, the Mario Bros. She wanted the brothers to invite their partners, but didn’t realize who Mario would bring until it was too late. Daisy, however, wants to hear the story of how they got together!
Red and Blue - In a slight change to the usual storytelling, this is a story that doesn’t use any dialogue to describe tender moments between Bowser and Mario while they explore a relationship together, going over their thoughts.
Bowser’s Beard - For Bowser Day, a story where Mario and friends go to find out where Peach has been taken, but then find Bowser’s Castle mostly empty when they get there...save for one hairy Koopa King.
~~~~~
It’s not quite new, but since it updated a few times this year, I’ll add:
Eternally Never Yours - An ongoing fanfic that details a full affair between Bowser and Mario, as they try to make their seemingly impossible relationship a reality, while struggling to deal with the Mushroom Kingdom at large.
~~~~~
And even though they were on the old list, I’ll add the others in below, so people have some Bowsario fanfic variety, which is necessary!
Quiet Life - In a “what if…?“ styled story, Bowser is essentially exiled in exchange for the Koopas finally being at peace with the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is the one that brings comfort to him.
Inn’s Covers - While going to an inn before a golf tournament, Mario ends up paired in a room with Bowser. They slowly learn to get along, and then some.
Upon A Dream - After taking a mystical pendant, Bowser ends up in a dream where he’s married to Mario, and grows to not hate it.

A Spirited Story - Based on Super Smash Bros., the spirits of Wolf and Fox get into a chase sequence of sorts. Mario and Bowser are among the couples they visit. Not quite from this year, but I’ve included it too.
Wild Cards - A tennis story that focuses on Wario and Waluigi, but has a good deal of shipping support for Mario and Bowser. Also, Bowser wears his tennis outfit and Mario approves.
Jolly Season - A Christmas special that features not only Bowser and Mario as a couple, but some fluff for Peach and Pauline as one too!
~~~~~
Phew! That’s a lot of content between these past two years.
If you’re interested in some stories that pair Mario and Bowser together as a couple, these have some fun flavors to dip into. So, be sure to check them out!
Mostly one-shots, but I even added a story with chapters besides ENY, so, that was pretty fun! More than I expected last year too, ha.
Don’t know what the future will bring, but this is what I’ve come up with thus far. If you’re interested, please feel free to click a link and read up on the various interpretations of this heavily underrated pairing!
Oh, and if you want stories from other lovely authors, be sure to explore the tag link which I’ll be adding in right here for Bowser/Mario on AO3!
Thank you for reading this, and if you read any of the stories, please enjoy!
Since I’ve turned it into a yearly challenge trend for myself, I’ll post my efforts thus far with the variety of fanfics for Valentine’s Day.

2019: Fu Inlé (After Moonrise) - Watership Down - Books/Literature
2020: Upon A Dream - Super Mario Bros. - Video Games
2021: Drifting to You - X-Men - Comics
2022: Killua’s Wish x And x Gon’s Return - Hunter X Hunter - Anime/Manga
---
Hmm...lemme just quickly toss the pairings in below...
2019: Bigwig/Fiver
2020: Bowser/Mario
2021: Hank/Logan | Beast/Wolverine
2022: Killua/Gon
---
I wonder if I’ll continue this in 2023, and what to choose next. TV Show, Movie, Theater, or...who knows? But, it’s been fun trying it out so far. We’ll see!
Hey there! I think I have a few Watership Down fans that poke their heads around my fanfics now and again.
So, I decided to make a little page for the handful of stories that I have for them. It’s mostly shipping Fiver off with Bigwig, because rare pairs empower me, idk.
These will only contain archiveofourown.org (AO3) links, but they are also available on fanfiction.net (FFN), if you prefer one over the other.
Anyway, here’s the current list!
~~~~~
Lifeline - This one is a story that’s set at some point after the time from Cowslip’s warren, where Bigwig nearly choked. Instead of shrugging off the experience, he gets a little trauma here, and Fiver helps him recover. Coping is healthy when done right, everyone. (It can be read as friendly or romantic for their development.)
United - Somewhat based on the Nuthanger farm raid and its aftermath, this is a slight deviation on how that section unfolds. Fiver and Hazel have a bit more dramatic of an argument, and Hazel still sets off afterwards. It’ll take Fiver facing himself to help find Hazel, and opening up to his friends to find his brother before it’s too late. (The deviation is that Bigwig especially helps out here, contrary to its other depictions.)
Fu Inlé (After Moonrise) - After having been through such grand journeys together, Bigwig and Fiver spend some time alone on Watership Down. They grow closer and comfort one another over their pasts and futures, slowly deciding to bring those perhaps closer together. (A most definitely romantic development for the pairing.)
Worst Case Scenario - A potential aftermath of Fiver and Bigwig getting together as a couple, only to have some friends give Bigwig a rather hard time with dating their Chief Rabbit’s younger brother. (It’s only got 1 chapter so far, but I’m working on the 2nd one currently. Hopefully coming this month or next!)
Visitors - More of an unrelated oddball idea that I came up with, but it basically turns Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig into anthropomorphic characters in a sci-fi universe. While on a foreign planet, they run into trouble, but happen to get help from a famous local team of pilots known as Star Fox! (This one is from Fiver’s perspective too, which was unique too.)
~~~~~
It’s a small selection, but I think it’s nice to have written some extra stories for the Watership Down archive. And creating some gay romance between Bigwig and Fiver is very delightful for me! They have an underrated dynamic in my opinion, as friends or as partners. Hooray for BigFi! ...I’m still working on a ship name for them, but this works for now...
Anyway, if you’re in the mood for some gay rabbits, feel free to check out the selection I’ve got here. Beyond the ongoing story that I’m updating, I hope to include maybe another story in the future.
Thank you for reading this! If you happen to read any of the selected stories as well, I do hope you enjoy any of those too!
