Cardcaptor Sakura Fanfiction
CLAMP's beloved magical girl series about Sakura Kinomoto, a cheerful grade-schooler who must recapture the magical Clow Cards she accidentally scattered. The fandom's gentle tone carries straight into its fanfic, which leans heavily on Sakura/Syaoran's blushing first love, Tomoyo's devoted filming, and Touya/Yukito as an early and formative m/m pairing for many readers. Futurefic that ages the cast into teens and adults is a staple, as are crossovers within the wider CLAMP multiverse.
