What Are The Most Popular Loid X Becky Fanfiction Storylines?

Man, I’ve stumbled through a lot of Loid x Becky tag fics over the years, and honestly? Most of it follows a pretty predictable pattern, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if you’re into that comfort-food reading. The initial dynamic is always key—Becky’s unrequited, over-the-top crush on Loid in canon gets stretched out and explored. Authors love to mine the comedy of her trying to one-up Yor, with varying degrees of success. But the popular fics usually take a left turn into 'what if' territory. A common thread is Loid eventually noticing her as an adult, often years later after some mission or life event forces a perspective shift. I’ve seen a ton of 'Time Skip' AUs where Becky becomes a successful businesswoman or even a fellow spy, and their paths cross professionally. That’s when the power dynamics get interesting; she’s no longer just the student, and he has to reconcile her competence with his old memories. The relationship development itself is almost never a straightforward romance. It’s layered with guilt—on Loid’s part, for using her family’s connections, and on Becky’ danger, because of his deception. The good fics nail that bittersweet tension. They’ll have moments of genuine connection, maybe over shared stress or a mutual protectiveness toward Anya, before pulling back because of the arranged marriage facade. It’s a slow, angsty burn by design. I remember one fic where Becky figured out the truth about 'Operation Strix' before Yor did, and the emotional fallout from that secret became the entire engine for their fraught, complicated alliance. The appeal is less about fluff and more about navigating that ethical minefield. Some readers hate it, call it creepy or a stretch, but I think the fascination lies in the challenge. Taking a one-sided comic relief crush and building a believable, mature rapport from its ashes is a tough writing puzzle. When it works, it’s less about the romance itself and more about two characters growing up and seeing each other—and themselves—differently.

Honestly, the Loid and Becky dynamic is criminally underrated in 'Spy x Family' fics, and I think some of the most interesting stories come from leaning into what's already on screen. The most obvious trope is the 'Fake Relationship' or 'Marriage of Convenience' setup, but applied to them. Imagine Loid needing to keep up appearances at Eden Academy functions and Becky, ever-pragmatic and sharp, proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement. It creates this delicious tension between performance and reality, and lets you explore Becky's loneliness and Loid's professional detachment in a new way. Another great angle is the 'Guardian & Ward' or 'Mentor/Mentee' trope, but flipped. Instead of Loid teaching Becky, what if Becky, with her vast social intelligence and knowledge of the elite world, ends up informally guiding Loid through high-society pitfalls his spy training didn't cover? It plays with their established power dynamic in a fun, subversive manner. You get Loid's clinical analysis paired with Becky's intuitive, emotionally-aware strategies. Then there's the quieter, more introspective stuff. 'Post-Canon Future Fic' where, years later, Anya is grown and Loid's mission is over. Who does he have left? Maybe a chance meeting with Becky, now a formidable businesswoman, forces both to reconcile the person they pretended to be with the person they became. It's a trope that rewards long-term character development. The 'Mutual Pining' can work too, buried under layers of duty and propriety, but it has to be earned, not just slapped on. I'm less keen on high-school AUs for them; it feels like it strips away too much of what defines their characters—their adult worldliness and the specific societal pressures they navigate. The best fics I've read always remember Becky's agency. She's not just a lovesick girl; she's observant, stubborn, and deeply loyal. Tropes that reduce her to a prop for Loid's angst miss the point. The magic is in the clash and eventual melding of his calculated spycraft with her heartfelt, direct approach to life, all while navigating the gilded cage of Berlint's upper crust.

It's funny how this pairing started as a total crack ship but ended up making a weird amount of sense if you tilt your head. A lot of writers seem to latch onto Becky as the one person who might actually see through Loid's 'Twilight' facade without any spy training—just because she's paying that much attention to him, but for entirely the wrong reasons. She's not looking for a secret identity; she's looking for her future husband, which means she's hyper-focused on every little detail about him. That obsessive observation becomes the key. Fics where Becky accidentally stumbles on something odd—the way he tenses at certain sounds, the gaps in his 'accountant' knowledge—and files it away as a 'quirky husband trait' are the most interesting. It creates this great tension where the reader knows she's brushing against the truth, but her interpretation is so wildly off-base it's safe. The relationship evolution isn't usually romantic in a straightforward way; it's more about Loid, over time, finding a bizarre sort of genuine respite in someone who adores a version of him that isn't Yor or Anya, but is still a constructed persona. He can be 'Loid Forger, good catch' instead of 'Twilight' or 'Loid, fake husband,' and that's a different kind of mask, but maybe a lighter one. Then you get the angsty ones where the reveal happens, and Becky's devastation isn't about losing a crush, but about the betrayal of her own perception. Her entire fantasy was built on close study, so having that foundation shattered calls her judgment into question. Does she get angry? Does she become an unlikely ally? I've seen both, and the latter can lead to some fun dynamics where her social savvy and resources become tools for the mission, all while she's nursing this deeply complicated mix of hurt and fascination.

Finding Loid and Becky crossovers is oddly tricky, isn't it? They aren't a top-tier ship in 'Spy x Family' fandom, so you won't just stumble on them. I'd suggest filtering the main fandom tag on Archive of Our Own for their pairing tag, then adding extra fandom tags. Honestly, most of what I've seen blends 'Spy x Family' with other slice-of-life anime like 'K-On!' or 'Bocchi the Rock!', where Becky drags Loid into some school festival chaos. The other route is searching Tumblr; the art and fic communities there are more niche and playful. You might find someone's thread where they've mashed up the 'Twilight' universe with it, with Loid as a vampire and Becky as the oblivious human—sounds wild, but I've seen weirder. My favorite was a surprisingly tender crossover with 'The Mandalorian' where Loid was Din and Becky was Grogu's exasperated babysitter. It shouldn't have worked, but the author nailed the weirdly protective dynamic. Don't sleep on Wattpad either; search for #loibecky and #crossover, but quality varies wildly. You really have to dig because the algorithm doesn't favor rarepairs. Sometimes I just search the ship name plus "crossover" on Google and hope for a forum link from five years ago.

I've gone down this rabbit hole more than I care to admit. The fics that truly get their tension aren't the ones where they're suddenly dating; it's the ones steeped in that specific WISE-agent-meets-normal-girl dissonance. Loid's entire existence is a performance, and Becky is one of the few people who interacts with the 'Loid Forger' persona with genuine, unfiltered intensity. She's a mirror reflecting a life he's pretending to have, and her crush highlights the absurdity of his fabricated domesticity. A story called 'Cafe Au Lait' nails this. It's not romantic. It's about Becky dragging a reluctant Loid to a ridiculously fancy patisserie to 'advise' her on a school project about 'successful businessmen.' The whole fic is just dialogue over cakes, with Becky dissecting his polite corporate-speak answers with alarming perceptiveness, asking why a man so 'perfect' seems so bored. Loid's internal monologue is a masterclass in panic disguised as calm, calculating escape routes while maintaining cover, all while Becky's oblivious admiration feels like a spotlight. The tension is in the gap between her sincere, dramatic worldview and his sterile, mission-focused one. It ends with her declaring he's the most interesting 'ordinary' person she knows, and him realizing her chatter is a better intelligence-gathering technique than half his training. The emotional friction isn't will-they-won't-they; it's the sheer cognitive dissonance of someone loving a shadow. That's the core of their dynamic for me.

Okay, this one's super niche! You're basically looking for fanfic where 'Spy x Family's Loid Forger and 'Becky' from… well, the tricky part is pinning down which Becky. The obvious one is Becky Blackbell from 'Spy x Family' herself, but that's not a crossover, that's canon. I'm assuming you mean Becky from another series crossing over into the 'Spy x Family' world. The most common crossover Becky is probably Becky Botsford from 'WordGirl', which creates a wild dynamic—a super-powered vocabulary hero meeting a master spy. Honestly, dedicated rec lists for this are almost non-existent. My method is to comb through Archive of Our Own using the 'Spy x Family' fandom tag and then filter for 'Crossover.' You'll have to manually scroll for any fic that mentions 'Becky' in the summary or tags. I've seen maybe two where 'WordGirl's Becky gets stranded in Berlint and Loid has to figure out what this oddly articulate, flying child is. The other potential Becky is from 'Supernatural' (Becky Rosen), which… exists, but is a very different vibe. I'd also suggest checking Tumblr tags like '#spy x family crossover' or '#loid forger fanfiction'. Sometimes people post 'fic find' asks that might yield results. It's a hunt, for sure, but stumbling on that one perfect, bizarre story is part of the fun. My last find had Loid trying to rationalize Becky's powers as some advanced Eastern technology.

Funny how that dynamic ended up being such a rich vein. On the surface, it's about Loid's professionalism versus Becky's youthful infatuation, but the fics really dig into the emotional fallout of that imbalance. The most frequent theme I see is the exploration of unrequited affection with a layer of dramatic irony—we, the readers, know Loid is Twilight and married to Yor, but Becky doesn't. That creates this bittersweet, often melancholic undercurrent where her genuine feelings bump against his carefully constructed facade. A lot of stories use Becky's crush as a lens to examine loneliness and the desire for a real family. She's wealthy but her home life is distant; she projects this ideal onto Loid, seeing in him a stability and kindness she craves. The fics that get it right don't just play it for laughs; they show her slowly maturing through the pain of realizing her love isn't meant to be, which is a surprisingly poignant coming-of-age arc. It's less about romance happening and more about emotional growth born from that unfulfilled longing. You also get a ton of 'what if' scenarios, of course—accidental reveals, temporary amnesia plots where Loid lets his guard down. But even those usually circle back to themes of sacrifice and duty overriding personal happiness. Loid might have a moment of genuine connection, but Operation Strix always pulls him back. It's that tension between the real and the performative that gives the pairing its unique, slightly tragic flavor. Makes you feel for both of them, really.

The AO3 tag for 'Tobey Maguire x Andrew Garfield' is where a lot of the Becky-centric fics end up if you use the character filter for 'Becky (Spider-Man)'. It's a weird little corner of the fandom but the activity is surprisingly steady. You'll see a lot of 'what if' scenarios set during the events of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'. Honestly, the main thing is to search by the relationship tag 'Becky/Original Male Character' and then filter for 'Tobey Maguire' as an additional character. The naming conventions aren't standardized, so you have to be a bit of an archeologist. I found a good one last week titled 'Through the Looking Glass' that was a sweet coffee shop AU, of all things. It's niche, so don't expect a flood of results, but the writers who are into it are dedicated. Sort by kudos and give the top five a shot—that's usually enough to get you started and maybe find the authors who write more in that vein.

Becky x Tobey? I actually think the fandom's moved on a bit from dedicated platforms for that specific ship. Most of the really popular 'WordGirl' stuff I see these days is scattered—some is on AO3, obviously, but a surprising amount of the current, active discussion and snippets happen on Tumblr or in Discord servers. The big archive sites feel like they're holding the classics, the multi-chapter epics from like 2013. For finding new stuff, I'd honestly just search the 'Becky/ Tobey' tag on AO3 and sort by kudos or date. That's where the concentrated stuff is. But the vibe around the ship, the memes and headcanons, that's all on other social media now. The platforms themselves aren't as ship-dedicated as they were for something like 'Harry Potter' back in the day.

As a fan of 'Spy x Family' fanfiction, I’ve come across several stories that beautifully explore Yor’s vulnerability and Loid’s protective instincts. One standout narrative is 'Shadows in Twilight,' which delves into Yor’s inner struggles as she balances her role as an assassin with her growing affection for Loid and Anya. The story portrays her moments of doubt and fear, especially when her past threatens to resurface. Loid, ever the composed spy, finds himself increasingly drawn to shielding Yor from harm, even if it means compromising his mission. The tension between his professional detachment and his burgeoning feelings for her is masterfully written, creating a compelling dynamic. Another gem is 'Fragile Bonds,' which focuses on Yor’s physical and emotional exhaustion after a particularly grueling mission. Loid steps in to care for her, revealing a softer, more nurturing side that contrasts with his usual stoic demeanor. The story highlights how their relationship evolves as Loid becomes more attuned to Yor’s needs, often putting her well-being above his own objectives. The author does an excellent job of weaving in moments of tenderness, like Loid preparing Yor’s favorite tea or staying up late to ensure she’s safe. For those who enjoy a darker tone, 'Crimson Veil' explores Yor’s vulnerability through a near-death experience that forces Loid to confront his feelings head-on. The story is intense, with Loid’s protective instincts driving him to extreme measures to keep Yor safe. It’s a gripping tale that showcases the depth of their bond, even as they navigate the dangerous world they inhabit. These fanfics not only deepen our understanding of Yor and Loid’s characters but also offer a fresh perspective on their relationship, making them must-reads for any 'Spy x Family' enthusiast.
