I genuinely thought I'd seen every permutation in that fandom corner until someone linked a fic that crossed 'Dragon's Crown' with 'Final Fantasy XIV'. It's out there. The author set it in La Noscea and had Shrimpo as a wandering culinarian who keeps running into this incredibly earnest, duty-bound paladin version of Tisha. The contrast between his chaotic energy and her rigid code creates this hilarious yet oddly sweet tension. It's not just a gag either—they actually dig into how their respective worldviews clash and then slowly align.
I stumbled on it on AO3 maybe two months back? Tags were pretty thorough: 'Crossover', 'Food as a Love Language', 'Mutual Pining'. The writing's a bit rough in spots, but the characterization feels spot-on. There's one scene where he tries to teach her how to properly season grilled oysters and she's taking it as seriously as a tactical briefing that really sold me on the dynamic.
That's the only one I've personally read front to back. I've heard whispers of a 'Genshin Impact' crossover floating around on a private Discord, but I couldn't tell you the title or if it's any good.

Well, this is gonna sound weird, but I don't think you're going to find anything under 'shrimpo x tisha' on the usual platforms. Searched for it myself after reading a joke post about them on a gaming meme sub. 'Shrimpo' is almost definitely a nickname for Shrimp, the streamer, and 'Tisha' is likely his friend/other streamer. Their dynamic is mostly from 'Sons of the Forest' multiplayer streams, right?
Given that, you won't find tagged fanfiction the way you would for anime or TV fandoms. You'd need to look on platforms where RPF (Real Person Fiction) about streamers thrives. Tumblr is the biggest hub for this kind of content. Search tags like #sotf rpf, #shrimp rpf, or even just #streamers rpf. People write drabbles and headcanons there, not full-length stories usually. For longer works, check Quotev or even Wattpad, but you have to dig deeper; use 'Sons of the Forest RPF' or the streamers' real names (though some writers avoid those). AO3 might have something under the 'Sons of the Forest (Video Game)' fandom tag, filtered for Original Characters or Relationships, but it's a real long shot.
Honestly, most of the content for this ship is probably in Discord servers dedicated to the game or the streamers themselves, hidden away in fan-created channels. That's where the real niche, hyper-specific stuff lives.

Wait, are we talking about 'shrimpo' and 'tisha'? I've been in some obscure fandom corners, but this one's new. If it's a typo for 'shrimp' something else, I'm lost. Maybe a nickname from a game like 'Genshin' or a webtoon?
That said, the best slow-burn I ever read was for a tiny ship in 'The Locked Tomb'. Took 200k words for a hand touch. The author basically built a whole alternate universe. For niche pairs, the tag 'slow burn' plus 'mutual pining' on AO3 is your lifeline. Sometimes you gotta wade through a lot of 'established relationship' stuff to find the good long builds.
Anyway, if 'shrimpo x tisha' is real, try filtering by word count—higher often means more room for the slow simmer.

Wow, what a specific ship to ask about. I'll admit I had to think for a minute because that's a pretty deep-cut pairing, but it actually makes a ton of sense when you consider their dynamic in the source material. The emotional tension almost writes itself, honestly. It's all about contrasting energies—one character is usually this outwardly bright, chaotic force, while the other is more reserved, simmering under the surface.
Most of the fics I've stumbled across focus on that friction. You get scenes where the bubbly one's relentless optimism bumps up against the other's weary pragmatism, and the space between them just crackles. It's less about grand declarations and more about the things left unsaid, the accidental touches that linger a second too long. The writers are really good at using that contrast to build this slow, aching kind of yearning.
What gets me is how they'll use the existing canon moments of quiet support between them and just... expand it. Turn a single glance into a whole internal monologue about restraint and desire. The tension comes from wondering who's going to break the careful distance they've maintained. I read one where they were forced to share a tent during a storm, and the entire thing was just descriptions of breathing and the heat between their backs. Nothing 'happened,' but it was utterly devastating in the best way.
I keep coming back for that specific ache. It's a masterclass in 'show, don't tell.'
