[Image description: colored comic of Dragon Ball characters. Bulma is flirting with Vegeta and asks him who he thinks has the nicest butt. He says Yamcha and Bulma is shocked, then angry. She yells at Vegeta in disbelief, then Vegeta gets angry and asks her who she thinks has the nicest butt. She thinks and she comes to the same answer that it’s Yamcha. They both come to an agreement and shake hands. Yamcha walks in telling them that he cleaned the bath and they can use it. Later, Yamcha is cleaning while Bulma and Vegeta watch him. End of description.]
Thoughts:
I don’t really ship Yamcha with VegeBul seriously, but it’s still funny to think about- He does have a nice booty tho 👍
I do think it’s interesting that Yamcha seems to be on good terms with Vegeta despite everything. Vegeta seems to like Yamcha enough to let him hold Bulla, too 👀 Then when Vegeta turned into SSGS cuz Bulla cried, Yamcha's immediate reaction is to think that a villian is coming and not that Vegeta could be pissed at him LOL And Bulma is just chilling with the both of them 😌
Los odio tanto quien invitó a estos putos a la fiesta
Esta es la referencia no sé quién es el artista original cuz estuve buscando pero no encontré, si alguien sabe me vendría re bien yyyy yk diganme así edito el post!!!!
as many of us think (at least in my fandom buddies circle), dragon ball fic is plagued with The Bad*. however ao3 is one of the few things that renders correctly on my flip phone and im a creative writing major, a huge snob, and sort by new, so I got favorites. This will be an expanding masterlist.
This is personal preference. I read heavily for writing style, and have very few squicks. Please read tags. Essentially all of these authors have other fics in the fandom that are worth reading, but in interest of this being vaguely readable, Im keeping it largely to one per writer.
The Obvious Choices
Most of these came from other fic rec lists, but if I got a tip about it, and liked it anyway, here it is
Summary: While training in the far reaches of space, Goku and Vegeta discover something alien beyond their understanding.

Summary:
Via Raditz’s broken scouter, Bulma tries to recover access to Planet Trade networks and technologies to get an upper hand against the androids. But in so doing, she discovers Raditz’s private files—writings and recordings he kept for himself over his long travels with Vegeta and Nappa under Freeza. Tales of their exploits and descent into madness come to change her perception of Vegeta and her relationship with him.
Homeworld Lost is a novel-length dark science-fantasy story with explicit violence, horror, and erotica (sometimes simultaneously). Generally canon compliant. Explores Vegeta’s backstory under the Planet Trade Organization and his fraught relationships with his comrades, particularly the twisted bond he and Raditz share. Most of the story is narrated by Raditz, but there are lots of twists. He is an unreliable narrator, and in places, altered mental states allow him to take other points of view. We also get interludes from Bulma as she reads and reacts to Raditz's account.

Summary:
Goku just smiles broadly back at him though, shrugging a shoulder in that effortlessly careless way only he’s ever been able to manage. “Wherever you want. The world is our limit.” Vegeta doesn’t budge an inch. “And what if I want to go somewhere else?” Goku’s smile softens. A lump lodges in Chi Chi’s throat as Goku steps closer, bracketing Vegeta against the tree, leaning down slightly into his space. That look is still there but it’s different, somehow it’s different. “I’m sure we can figure something out,” Goku murmurs.
Or, five times a Z Fighter sees Goku love Vegeta... and the one time a Z Fighter sees Vegeta love Goku back.

"You're such a fucking - ah!" Yamcha cries out. He tries to pull away, but Vegeta has an iron grip on his hips, the pressure sure to bruise.
"I'm a what now?" Vegeta mocks."I can't hear you, Yamcha."

Summary:
Gohan was twenty when his headaches and the visions started. They showed him nauseating depictions of an unhappy future where he tried his hardest to be what everyone around him seemed to want - and flashes of an unknown past that threatens to creep up on him with its uncertainty. So he decides to change his life, but things aren't that easy; it's hard being so lonely. Pinpointing his real feelings, his real desires. Years have passed and his friends all have lives of their own, but he doesn't feel like he's made any progress, longing for an older, stronger connection to someone he thinks doesn't feel the same way.
And his friends, well, they have no idea he's in pain, and think he still wants a happy ending with a 'normal' family and white picket fence. That's what Piccolo thinks he wants, too. Being pushed away by his oldest friend is the one thing Gohan thinks may be more painful than his illness. By the time Piccolo realizes how he feels, will their bond be irreparably damaged?
Everyone thinks they know what Son Gohan wants- but does he even know, himself?

The Cell Games, as well as the new global holiday now dubbed Victorious Satan Day, have come and gone, and it's now a month later, with the first signs of autumn starting to show in the forests of Mount Paozu.
Gohan smiles as he watches the sunset through the window of the kitchen.
Life… Life is good these days, here on Earth.
It was worth it.
His left arm twinges.
And there’s a low hum in his ear.

"Chichi, I think I'm sick."
Chichi turns around, already brainstorming a chicken soup recipe to nurse him back to health. "What's wrong?"
"When you look at me, my chest feels all warm, and I get sweaty hands, and my heart starts to beat fast... do you think I'm allergic to you?"
"That's no allergy," she smiles, wedding band shiny in the midday light.

Summary:
Vegeta develops mysterious symptoms, and they begin to disrupt every aspect of his life. It seems as though the more he tries to overcome them, the worse they get. An illness with no known cause, no treatment, no cure, and that cannot be overcome through sheer force of will. Will Vegeta find the answers he needs? How will he cope with this disruption of his life?
alright, I have to be honest, this one is a little rough. but just captured my mind in a way that it couldnt not be included.
