Fan Fiction Recommendation List

Alright, so my journal got too big for me to keep it all on one list like I'd planned.  So here is a link to the second half: obi-quiet.deviantart.com/journ…

= New (before a section heading means there's a new fic in the list)
= Whole section is new
= HIGHLY recommended
= If you don't read this I will haunt you...
= The fic has been taken down or the link is broken and cannot be found.  If you have another link to the story, please let me know!

In alphabetical order except for the Misc. at the end.  Yes, I've finally learned my alphabet and it is in order.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while.  Getting sick of saying "Hey you should read this!", so I decided to make it more general.  Below are some of my absolute favorite fan-fictions.  I will be updating randomly in the future (I hope, as I run across old favorites and new excellents).  

NOTE:  Very few fics on this list will have excessive language, sex/nudity and/or extreme gore/violence.  I would say everything on this list (as far as I can remember) is rated T or lower unless marked otherwise (and those will be explicitly marked and very, VERY rare).  If you read something on this list and come across something not noted, PLEASE let me know so I can note it on here!  Thank you!

Avengers

ANNOYANCE www.fanfiction.net/s/8753077/1…
-Author: Kuroi Atropos

JAIL www.fanfiction.net/s/8422144/1…
-Author: 1arigato
-Summary: Phil does time in jail due to a bilgesnipe attack in a city. Hilarity ensues. AU, since Phil is alive after the Avengers assemble. Told from a jail guard POV.

BEYOND KNIGHTFALL www.fanfiction.net/s/1516332/1…
-Author: Katfairy
-Summary: When Terry runs into more trouble than he can handle, his friends and family must help him pick up the pieces and recover.
-Reader's Notes -- Some content might be uncomfortable for younger readers, but said content is not blatant.  This story does a great job at alternating between hilarious and beautifully well done/serious.

TIS THE SEASON www.fanfiction.net/s/7474600/1…
-Author: TwinEnigma
-Summary: Mary finds something mighty concerning when she cleans Terry's room.
-Reader's Notes -- One-shot, short read, so fun.

Bleach

ALL THE KINGS HORSES www.fanfiction.net/s/3753096/1… X-OVER WITH KINGDOM HEARTS
-Author: Chained-to-a-kiwi
-Summary: What's the difference between a Hollow and a Nobody? Why hasn't the Keyblade spoken since Dive into the Heart? Sora's mind looks strangely like The World That Never Was. Meanwhile, Roxas wakes up in a sideways world, and it's not Wonderland.
-Reader's Notes -- Again, don't recall if there's anything inappropriate (warning).  Absolutely adore this idea.  Wish it would get updated, but I believe it is now up for adoption *hint hint*.

DAY BEFORE TOMORROW www.fanfiction.net/s/4810004/1…
-Author: Daricio
-Summary:  Aizen is taking over. The situation looks bleak. And Urahara Kisuke suddenly remembers a device that may save them all. Unfortunately, nothing ever goes exactly as planned... Ichigo-centric. Time Travel gone wrong.

DEAD LIKE BLEACH www.fanfiction.net/s/3284451/1… X-OVER WITH DEAD LIKE ME
-Author: glainfach
-Summary: A crossover between 'Dead Like Me' and 'Bleach'. What might happen if Georgia gets transfered to Japan while the Bleach crew are off rescuing Rukia in the Soul Society. Explores the differences between American and Japanese concepts of life after death.

DUST IN THE LIGHT www.fanfiction.net/s/8004382/1…
-Author: Lady Azar de Tameran
-Summary: One Shot. He's not dead. Just slightly misplaced.
-Reader's Notes -- Poignant and very well written.

FEELING HOLLOW www.fanfiction.net/s/3924000/1…
-Author: Daricio
-Summary:  Instead of visiting the Vaizard, Ichigo realizes that fighting and defeating his inner hollow isn't the only way to deal with his problem. Could the two possibly form an alliance?
-Reader's Notes -- If you like Hollow Ichigo, and you haven't read this story...have you been hiding under a rock?!  Go there now!  You won't regret it!  

HOLLOW FEELINGS www.fanfiction.net/s/4888696/1…
-Author: Daricio
-Summary: Why do you hate me so much?" With a scoff, the hollow gave Ichigo the obvious response: The King was weak. But deep inside, he knew the real answer. "Because you betrayed my trust in you... aibou..." Full story of Ichigo's hollow.  Prequel to "Feeling Hollow"

-Author: Kyrial Halcoryn
-Summary: aka Why Hollow/Quincy/Shinigami Flatshares Are a Bad Idea.
-Reader's Notes -- I always thought Ishida was underrated.  The fact that Hollow Ichigo makes it in here is a bonus.  I can't remember if it has language in it though.  Otherwise, it's about as violent and/or suggestive as canon, if that.

Blue Exorcist (Ao No Exorcist)

MIRROR SHARDS www.fanfiction.net/s/7248582/1…
Author: Oreramar
Summary: A collection of Ao no Exorcist one-shots. Characters, ratings, and genres vary; see first chapter Table of Contents for individual details. Newest story: Of Death and Demons. Rin has a brush with death, and one thing about it bothers him: just what does death mean for a half-demon son of Satan?
Reader's Notes -- I love the different takes on the characters and the ideas.  Some of them are a bit disturbing though...

D. Gray Man

GRIEF IS A HEAVY BURDEN: www.fanfiction.net/s/4938856/1…
-Author: Sailorstar165
-Summary: Grief is a heavy burden, and no one knows that better than the Pierrot Mana Walker. But when he stumbles across Allen, the child his brother had entrusted with his memories, can he at last put that grief to rest?
-Reader's Notes -- One person's theory about Mana Walker and his story from the time he found Allen (or Allen found him) until his death...and just a little beyond.

Danny Phantom

AUTOGRAPH www.fanfiction.net/s/7423343/1…
-Author: sarahhaley
-Summary: The journalists and paparazzi find Danny Phantom - again. But this common event couldn't possibly escalate into a huge problem… Could it?
-Reader's Notes -- Ah the joys of popularity and infamy.  Please note the sarcasm.  

AVERAGE AMITY www.fanfiction.net/s/2600610/1…
-Author: The Silver Suzi
-Summary: Kristina Carey has always thought of Amity Park as an ordinary city. But weird things have been happening, and she's started to think otherwise. Better summary and explanation inside.
-Reader's Notes -- I find it sad that this only has a few reviews.  Fabulous idea, nicely written and recommended.

COMPLICATIONS www.fanfiction.net/s/8727678/1…
-Author: Lynse
-Summary: Vlad Masters is Vlad Plasmius. That realization makes Valerie's life ten times more complicated. And to make matters worse, she can only think of one person to get answers from: the same guy who warned her about Vlad in the first place. Danny Phantom.
-Reader's Notes: I have thoroughly enjoyed following this one. I don't often come across good post D-Stabilized fics that I like.

THE GLOAMING www.fanfiction.net/s/2855534/1…
-Author: Summersixecho
-Summary: It was like any afternoon. I came out of school, ran off to do some ghost hunting, and everything seemed to fit into my daily routine. Then, just before dusk, I found the battered body of my worst enemy next to my best friend's belongings.
-Reader's Notes -- You know, it's been a long time since I've read this one.  I only remember i really liked it.

HAUNTED MEMORIES www.fanfiction.net/s/7691187/1…
-Author: Dreams2Paper11
-Summary: Danny is mentally scarred from an incident that took place when he was fourteen. No, it wasn't the ultimate enemy. Worse. Now, sixteen, how will he deal with the Teen Titans and Jump City? Can anyone save him now? Or will his past destroy him?
-Reader's Notes -- Warning, this one is DARK, but I really liked where it was going and thought it fit into the Teen Titans universe really well.

JAILBREAK www.fanfiction.net/s/8056539/1…
-Author: Quick-Demon
-Summary: Imprisoned on a Goa'uld mothership, the team meets a peculiar boy that maybe their ticket out of there. Crossover Stargate SG-1 & Danny Phantom. Now a Triple-shot, just how Daniel likes his coffee when he doesn't want to fall asleep.
-Reader's Notes -- Absolutely fabulous crossover.  Both of my Daniels in the same fic...*dies of happiness*  Oh, and it's well written too.

JEREMIAD www.fanfiction.net/s/2834452/1…
-Author: Firefury Amahira
-Summary: n. A literary work or speech expressing a bitter lament or a righteous prophecy of doom. You make choices you regret for the rest of your life. For Valerie, that choice was her inability to accept that Danny Fenton and the ghostboy were one in the same.
-Reader's Notes -- I'm tentatively recommending this.  It's because of this fic that I can love "Ultimate Enemy" despite the plotholes, but it does tend to get a bit dark.  It has two sequels, one of which is EXTREMELY dark, but they (again) are both very good.

LINE OF QUESTIONING www.fanfiction.net/s/5563668/1…
-Author: Chibby
-Summary: Supposing Valerie didn't have a change of heart after rescuing Dani in D-Stabilized. Suppose she did take Phantom back with her. What would she have asked him? And will the halfa end up giving away more than he realizes?
-Reader's Notes -- I do love my Valerie fics, especially when they're done well.

LITTLE EARTHQUAKES www.fanfiction.net/s/7105988/1…
-Author: A perplexing puzzle
-Summary: They say that a man is defined by what he does when he thinks nobody's looking. Does the same hold true for ghosts? COMPLETE
-Reader's Notes -- I found this to be nicely refreshing, more or less an 'outsider pov' and a 'reveal fic'.

MY GRANDFATHER'S GHOST -- www.fanfiction.net/s/2379750/1… (Note: Some adult content mentioned--minor)
-Author: Alex Schira
-Summary: A Fenton who doesn't believe in ghosts. Now there's an oxymoron. Young Alan Fenton is about to get a handson lesson about his family history, and about himself.
-Reader's Notes -- He said he just drabbled, and went back and rewrote a lot of his chapters.  I haven't had the time to go through and re-read the chapters, so don't know the content.  Mark this one tentatively recommended.  

OUR BODY... www.fanfiction.net/s/7306597/1… X-over with NCIS (Warning for minor graphic scenes)
-Author: Siffie the third
-Summary: A frozen kid in a locked room on a navy base. The NCIS team think they have seen it all, but this time the case might just prove them wrong.

SACRED CIRCLE www.fanfiction.net/s/9205194/1… (X-over with Supernatural)
-Author: Sapphireswimming
-Summary: Danny wakes up trapped by hunters using unconventional weapons- salt, iron, and shotguns. He isn't liking it. Not one bit.
-Reader's notes -- One of those that's just really well crossed over. 

SCHROEDINGER'S ANNIVERSARY www.fanfiction.net/s/3260567/1…
-Author: Bluemoonalto
-Summary: On the tenth anniversary of the day the Nasty Burger didn't explode, Danny tries to drag himself out of a black mood.
-Reader's Notes -- This was my first introduction to the idea of Schroedinger's Cat.  Now that I'm more familiar with the concept, I marvel at how fitting this story is.

SECRET WORLDS fav.me/ddt1lu (The rest of the chapter's here rinnibree.deviantart.com/galle… )
-Author: Rinnibree
-Summary:  Currently, there isn't one, and it's too good for me to make one up.  
-Reader's Notes -- Probably the best Fan Fiction (not just Danny Phantom, I mean ANY fan fiction out there) I've ever read.  Absolutely stunning.  The sequel (Path of Vengeance) is also very good.

-Author: Cordria
-Summary: A collection of short stories.
-Reader's Notes -- Fabulous little drabbles of brilliance!  Note: This is another author who writes mostly DP, and has a lot of good stories.  Some of them go pretty dark, but her library is definitely worth going through.

-Author: Paradise-whispers
-Summary: When Danny's class takes a field trip, the bus accidentally leaves Valerie and Danny behind. Now that they are left alone without a ride, their only way home is by walking. Of course they are going to need something to do...so how about The Truth Game?
-Reader's Notes -- I love Danny/Valerie interactions and found this to be not just well done, but in character.

THROUGH COAL AND RAIN www.fanfiction.net/s/8534318/1…
-Author: Kakawot
-Summary: Sometimes Danny acts as more than Amity Park's ghost fighter. Sometimes he rescues people from burning buildings. And sometimes that goes wrong.
-Reader's Notes -- Fabulous insight to Danny's Ghost form and what makes him so different.

VIRTUALITY www.fanfiction.net/s/2651857/1…
-Author:  Raina Wolfe
-Summary: Vlad Plasmius traps Danny Fenton and Valerie Grey inside a virtual reality game, where it's life or death. After short circuiting Danny's powers and stealing Valerie's weapons, both teens have to make it out of the game without losing their lives and working together.
-Reader's Notes -- Another one where I just remember liking it.  I also remember some psychological problems they had to face and overcome.

WINGSOFMORPHIUS -- www.fanfiction.net/u/853212/
-Okay, this is slightly different.  This is more or less an author plug.  You see, if she's written it, it's GOOD.  A large majority of her stuff is Danny Phantom, so I'm just going to put in a general link.  

DC Universe (Batman, Superman, Justice League, etc.)

ROOKIE www.fanfiction.net/s/8429062/1… (Batman: Dark Knight series)

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING www.fanfiction.net/s/4813784/1…
-Author: Illusor Meaneld
-Summary: Cloud is offered the chance to change the past… it's not an easy road to take.

-Author: Emma Lipardi
-Summary: Harry comes home from school and Petunia is upset at the change in her nephew. Petunia decides to do what she should have been doing all along. Dumbledore had better stay away.

-Reader's Notes -- I was worried about this because of the 'M' rating, but found nothing that I felt would really warrant it.  I believe the rating relates to the abuse they discuss. There are some surprisingly hilarious points too though.

-Author: upon-request

-Reader's Notes -- I'm recommending this one tentatively.  I like the story, I like the idea, but it's not the best written and there are some things about it that bug me.  I don't remember if there's anything inappropriate for a pg-13 rating. You have been warned.

-Author: TheAngelsHaveThePhoneBox
-Summary: Harry Potter faces a boggart that doesn't turn into a Dementor or even Voldermort, but into a horror from his childhood. Now the boggart isn't even a boggart anymore. There's no imitation. That which holds the image of an Angel, becomes itself an Angel.

-Reader's Notes -- I don't normally like Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction, but this is an exception to the rule.  Not only is it well done and funny (okay, freaking HILARIOUS), but it has an amazing plot.  The sequel (Dyme and the Dozen) is also amazing.

Lord of the Rings

BACK AGAIN www.fanfiction.net/s/8942429/1…
-Author: Waugh
-Summary: Bilbo Baggins wakes up. He is twenty-one again, with all his life ahead of him. But first, there are things he must do. Time-travel, fix-it, friendship fic. Slow build.
-Reader's Notes -- I didn't think I'd get a lot of what happens in this because it's Bilbo's early life. I was wrong.  Waugh writes in such a way that makes the plot easy to understand, makes you love the characters even more and mad me absolutely love the story.   It's technically under 'The Hobbit', but I'm putting it here because it's the same fandom/universe/story.
