☆ Wedding Bells by Doodlebloo
“Hey, Ranboo?" Tubbo asks, breaking him from his thoughts.
"Hm?"
"What kind of cake do you think we'll want?"
"I- Sorry, what?"
"What kind of cake are you thinking? I like ice cream cake quite a lot, but I don't know if that's-" "Cake... For what?"
Tubbo's expression softens, and he pulls his legs up onto the counter to sit criss cross, still not quite eye level with Ranboo. "For our wedding, big man."
Or: After several months of relative peace on the Dream SMP, Tubbo and Ranboo finally feel secure enough to plan a real, proper wedding. It turns out that wedding planning may be a bit harder than they thought.
*A cute slice of life fic where c!Beeduo plans their wedding and everyone tags along! One of my favorite c!Beeduo fics EVER, I love this story so much and re-read it constantly. Doodlebloo is a c!Beeduo writer I love so she’ll be on here a lot lol
(Incomplete, ambiguous, fanon storyline)

☆ Ad Astra by Hellenite
Tubbo’s a smuggler who really only cares about having fuel in his tanks and making it to the next sol cycle, likes to think he’s pretty level headed, but this spoiled Ender prince is really testing his resolve not to shoot him out of the airlock.
*I love this story so much! An incredible space-alien-fighters-I-don’t-even-know AU that’s so well written. Will get you HOOKED and screaming in your pillow bc AGH, and one of my favorite Beeduo reads of all time ofc LOL. There’s a second part of the story in Ranboo’s POV linked here!

☆ Bishop’s Knife Trick by bovinedaemon
Ran is an assassin from another dimension assigned to take out the city Subbin’s new general. But once he gets tangled up in solving a kidnapping plot, misgivings towards an impossible target, a drill sergeant job, and a slowly unfolding mystery, he realizes it’s going to be a lot harder than he thought…
*The author has stated that the Ran and Jackie in this are their original characters, but that’s bc all the c!Beeduo /p truthers were harassing them. Ran and Jackie are from Tales of the SMP and are based on c!Beeduo, so I think of it as a c!Beeduo AU bc I don’t see anything wrong with the story. But I’m not gonna insist it’s c!Beeduo if the author isn’t comfortable with that! I definitely think it’s an INCREDIBLE read and can be viewed aside from this list. Anyways. SUPER INTERESTING MYSTERY AND ROMANCE STORY! I WAS LITERALLY HOOKED ON UPDATES FOR THIS ONE.

☆ standing at a lightswitch by DeadPatrol
“I would nuke someone for you,” Tubbo says plainly with all the confidence in the world. Because he has. He’s done it before and he would do it again in an instant — a thousand times over.
It strikes him with a sudden gripping fury. He needs Ranboo to know. He needs Ranboo to know it like Tubbo knows it, deep and intrinsic. Utter truth.
“That’s… nice?” Ranboo says, hesitant, cautious, nervous.
“Your face is nice,” Tubbo spits, because that’s also the truth.
“Thank you?” Ranboo’s voice pitches up into incredulity.
Ranboo doesn’t get it. And Tubbo desperately tries to convince himself that that’s alright. He will soon. It’s a work in progress.
Modern Setting Reincarnation AU: With the server reset impending, Tubbo made a Deal With The Drista. Now, Tubbo is the only one in the new world who remembers their past life and the events of the Dream SMP, and he's on a mission to reunite with all the people who don't remember him. This time, he will protect them.
*Basically what the description says. A canon-storyline reincarnation AU that’s c!Tubbo centric and isn’t entirely based on c!Beeduo but is still an amazing read!
(Complete, platonic, canon storyline AU)

☆ And Then You Fell in Love? by Doodlebloo
Ranboo brushes a thumb over his memory book, the knowledge of Tubbo's entry still fresh in his mind from his quick recap on the way over.
Tubbo: Ex-president. Tommy's friend. Lives in Snowchester. Friend?
"You don't have to, I guess," Tubbo shrugs, rubbing his hands together for warmth. "Just a suggestion."
"You're sure you want me to live here?"
Tubbo frowns. "Why wouldn't I?"
"Well, I mean, we're... We're not exactly friends."
Tubbo's hand - the bad one, the one that's mostly scar tissue - twitches, and Ranboo can sense that he's said something wrong. "Are we not?"
Ranboo and Tubbo go from barely friends to doting husbands in a matter of weeks, adopting a child and building a mansion somewhere along the way. Here are some of the moments in between.
*Another banger Doodlebloo fic! A canon based c!Beeduo fic on how they realistically went from being tentative friends to loving husbands. Down-to-Earth and really puts them as a pair into perspective

like orange juice in a mug by poettree
Tubbo loved love. He did. He truly did.
But love didn’t love him back.
And it was so much harder this year than the last one, to act as if he was fine this week… because, unlike last year, this year he was in love. And unlike last year, this year Tubbo had to deal with the heartache that rejection left behind.
—or, when Tubbo is an oblivious fool in love, Ranboo is a cowardly fool in love, and Tommy tries to play cupid and fucks up instead. Also, add into the mix a shitty handmade mug, some orange juice, and an unethically placed love potion.
*I loved this one so much! A harry potter AU of c!Beeduo. Such a feel good and a lovely read, I smiled so much while reading this

Disney fixes everything, including memory problems by GeekyGlasses
[The arguing starts up again, this time with both Techno and Kristin joining in (although much calmer), and Phil once again sighs. The camera quickly shifts to Ranboo and Tubbo's car, the energy the complete opposite. Michael is still asleep, and it's quiet except for some soft music playing in the background. Tubbo looks over at Ranboo and smiles. Ranboo turns and returns the smile before they both turn back to look at the road. The POV switches back to the screaming van, Phil rubbing his head as his family continues to argue. He shifts in his seat again as if repreparing himself for the drive.]
"10 hours, let's hope I can make it."
*A modern AU of c!Beeduo and c!SBI (with Kristin!). I read this one A WHILE ago so I honestly don’t remember it that much, but I remember I loved it. A good luck charlie type blog for Ranboo, and it was cute seeing all of them together like a big family

I Love You (That’s Not Possible) by ToriBlueBird
Tubbo wasn't lovable. Tubbo was hard edges and barriers and locked away secrets. Tubbo was hands tightened around a sword and refusing to let go. Tubbo was dusty records and tall walls and joking at the wrong time.
Tubbo saw the way people danced around him. How they treated him like glass or treated him like dirt. How they smiled tightly at him or balked at his apathy. Tubbo wasn't lovable.
Or, Ranboo brings up that he loves Tubbo, and Tubbo doesn't understand how anyone could possibly love him.
*ToriBlueBird, a c!Tubbo and c!Beeduo writer I ADORE! This one was so cute, I love how sweetly they were written in this. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SM!!!

Kiss, Kiss, Kiss by orphan_account
There was something quite liberating, he found, in being able to show how much he loved his husband. Some things were awkward to confess to while they were both awake. Sometimes, there weren’t the right words to admit it. But, as one hand curled itself in Ranboo’s hair and the other rested on the Enderman’s chest, Tubbo felt himself smile between the pecking.
Beeduo fluff where they kiss
*THIS WAS SO CUTE! Just the guys being in love :)

i think i’m getting butterflies, (but it’s really something telling me to run away) by inkstainzed
“Before he realizes it Tubbo is reaching out, and suddenly their fingers are brushing against eachother and— oh god.
There it is. The vibrations that emit from his chest, sent through his gangly limbs like a shock through his veins. It's inevitable and annoying and Ranboo knows it's because he's so horribly comfortable around Tubbo and it's just so.. embarrassing. Weird. Strange.
He thinks maybe he would die if Tubbo found out about it.”
Or, 3 times Ranboo hides his affection for Tubbo, + the 1 time he doesn’t.
(*clears throat* Badically Ranboo purrs when he’s comfortable/calm as a way to show affection and being relaxed. Having being made fun of for it in the past, he forces himself to hide it from Tubbo in fear and utter anxiety of it happening again. Ranboo makes a mistake, and accidentally upsets Tubbo.)
*Pretty much what the description says! This one was adorable and I love the hc that c!Ranboo purrs. So cute :)

Human Resources by Doodlebloo
"Ranboo, are we getting a divorce?"
Ranboo immediately stiffens, freezing in place, breathing stuttered.
"...Do you want to get a divorce?" Ranboo tries to keep his tone even, and it's a valiant effort, but Tubbo can hear the tears he's barely holding back.
Ranboo and Tubbo have an argument over two burger restaurants. In a shocking turn of events, this does not lead to a divorce.
*LMAO this was from back in the day when the DSMP was still going on. I tend to wipe the divorce arc from my brain, but when I do think abt it this fic is a good consolation to me. What I think SHOULD’VE happened between c!Beeduo… but ofc 🙄. UGH don’t get me started

i don’t wanna get over you (i wanna sit with you in bed) by 1wn8ure
"Twenty wives," Tubbo says, staring at Ranboo with something unreadable in his eyes.
"He's gonna make fun of me, y'know," Tubbo continues, leaning forward enough that Ranboo can smell the alcohol on his breath. "I don't even have one wife."
"Yeah?" they whisper back, forcing their voice to maintain its lighthearted tone. "Not sure that's much of a secret."
"Maybe not." Tubbo narrows his eyes, reaching out and placing a hand on Ranboo's chest. "Maybe I don't want a wife."

All Hallow’s Eve by Doodlebloo
"What are you supposed to be?" Asks Ranboo, and Wilbur pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose with a chuckle.
"I thought the scariest costume of all would be to just go as myself. You know, Ranboo, often times people are the real monsters. Sometimes looking in the mirror is just as horrific as any-"
"Boo!" Michael squeals from right behind Wilbur, who must jump at least a foot into the air.
"Jesus fucking christ!" Wilbur shrieks, and the group bursts into laughter around him.
-
Ranboo and Tubbo take Michael to a Halloween party. Michael is surprisingly good at scaring people.
*I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH!!! The way Doodlebloo writes these characters is AMAZING I’m always laughing at what they say. Sort of takes place in the future, if peace had happened for the server. Nothing better than just seeing everyone happy together, and c!Beeduo being spooky husbands :) SUCH A GOOD READ!

promises (warmth and light) by Anonymous
Michael stares outside with bouncing excitement, all previous remains of exhaustion wiped clean from his face. He looks back at Ranboo, tugging on his pants. Ranboo chuckles, ruffling his son's tufts of course hair. "We'll play outside when you eat breakfast, bud."
Michael hums, tilting his head and pressing his snout into Ranboo's paw. Tubbo calls out over the course of a couple minutes, "Come get food, you fucks!"
*THIS ONE’S GREAT! Cute story of the fam in their domestic life :)

It’s All Sacrifice and Violence (The History of Love) by Viola_riviniana
“Are you going to leave?” Tubbo glares, raises an expectant eyebrow.
Ghostboo, still peering in through the doorway, lingers for a moment, before turning to him, “Uh, no I think I’m gonna stay.”
Tubbo scowls, sighs, shoves the chest into the ghost’s lanky arms, “Well if you're staying then you can make yourself useful.”
“Sure!” Ghostboo adjusts his grip on the box, “Doing what?”
Tubbo heads back inside, heaves another (mercifully lighter) chest up, “We’re bringing these to the mansion,” he says, begins the familiar trek only for Ghostboo to easily outpace him, returns on second thought and locks the cabin door.
Ghostboo slides his way over icy paths, spindly legs shaking on the stairs up the cliffside,
“Careful,” Tubbo ascends behind him, passes the struggling ghost and is followed the rest of the way back.
The mansion looms in the afternoon light, shadow stretching out long and dark as they enter, and Tubbo watches Ghostboo twirl in a wide circle, face tilted toward the ceiling.
“It’s pretty in here,” he says.
Tubbo sets his chest down, “Yeah,” takes in the curved staircase, chandelier, the high ceilings, and nods, “It was.”
*I just read this one and I alr forgot it 😭 but I do remember I was HOOKED. Got me wanting Ghostboo and c!Tubbo to get tg and forget abt c!Ranboo 💀 THAT’S HOW GOOD IT WAS LMAO

Please Don’t Say You Love Me by ToriBlueBird
So please hurry leave me
I can't breathe
Please don't say you love me
"You shouldn't care about me......" Tubbo took a deep breath. "Because if you care about me, you get closer….. and….. everything I get close to.... everything I touch either leaves me or gets destroyed..."
or, Ranboo wants to know why Tubbo wanted him to forget about the execution.

A (not so normal) Night In The _Beloved Household by compoundeyed
He walked across the hall and peeked into the living room. The lights were off and it was dark outside, but against the white snow outside the window Tubbo could make out a silhouette. Ranboo sat perched in the couch's armrest like some sort of creature, tail swishing back and forth.
"There you are! I'm done with the dishes, Boo." Tubbo walked towards them. Then they turned around and he froze in his tracks.
Their eyes were glowing purple.
Or Ranboo is enderwalking and they're very protective of their husband. Tubbo isn't complaining.
It's honestly just fluff.
*Read this one A WHILE back. Pretty much just enderwalk c!Ranboo being just as loving as normal c!Ranboo :)

“Please don’t leave me,” Tubbo whispered, unable to process his own words as he spoke.
“Never,” Ranboo promised, tilting Tubbo’s head up to wipe his tears with the soft sheets. “I’ll never leave.”

domestic bliss by thanotaphobia (blue000jay)
They bring Michael back to Snowchester on Valentine’s Day, a few days before they impulsively get married. It’s a joke at first-- a cute little mob that had gotten attached to Ranboo, who had toddled on baby legs, following them to the portal and clutching to a chicken’s feathery down the whole way. They’d lured him gently, promises of gold and meat, and he’d followed right into the overworld and through the snow and chill to Snowchester. By then, they’d gained his trust enough for the kid to let them pick him up, a tiny little thing that was mostly bone and leathery, half-zombified skin.
Or: Tubbo and Ranboo adopt a kid, get married, get divorced, and have a time of it. Not necessarily in that order.
*A cute story of c!Beeduo becoming dads :)
