Hello! :D How did you get here? About me: I'm a college freshman who has no idea what she's doing, and loves to read fanfiction. Right now, I've mostly stopped reading manga or watching anime, but it's always fun to pop in and look at the new fanfics now and then. :) I love to talk, so if you wanna drop a line, I'll try to reply as soon as I can! I wish would let me beta-read, but since I don't write...eh. And to all of those awesome writers out there, no matter who you are, where you live, or what you write: Thank you for blessing the world with your writing! :D Your efforts are appreciated! So, this is an idea I've had for a while now, but I'm going to start posting recommendations of some of my favorite stories. Some of these will be recommendations for stories that may never be updated, but deserve some love because what is there is just that great. Experimenting with links, click on the titles! :) Attempting to arrange everything in alphabetical order, not by fandom, because I'm one of those people who loves library shelves and will empty half of one because everything around what I was looking for is interesting. This may be a struggle. Oneshots: A Study in Abduction - driftingstar (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's) The story that first led me to driftingstar's fanfics. Just a silly romp of a tale about what happens when Yusei gets kidnapped. Again. Amanita Citrina - DragonWolfStar (Harry Potter/Bleach) A silly, crackish fic about Voldemort summoning Death and accidentally biting off more than he could chew. Ichigo is not amused, and also slightly traumatized. The Apple Thieves - Lindir's Ghost Focuses on Sam wandering around Rivendell, because Frodo is the Bearer of the One Ring, Pippin and Merry are just too naïve and curious to be cowed, but Sam is just a gardener, and all this finery is a bit much. Also, Legolas is an impish prince who would much rather find a partner in apple-thievery. Sam/Legolas friendship and bonding. Hollow - JennMel (Star Wars) A very well-written look at what might have happened if Obi-Wan's prescience had been strong enough to see what would happen in the Phantom Menace, and, being Obi-Wan, he decides to do something about that. A very good story! Looking Glass Wars - AzarDarkstar (Avatar: The Last Airbender) A "What if" scenario: What if Zuko had run from his family? A twoshot. Song of Stone - AzarDarkstar Zuko-centric fic. An interesting look at what it might have been like if Zuko hadn't been a firebender at all. When Aki Stopped Hating Licorice - TechnicolorNina (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's) A cute little fic about what happened between the Signers arriving in Satellite and Yusei dueling Rudger. Yusei/Aki shipping. Chaptered: All That Remains - SkyleafAlchemist19 In which Legolas is kidnapped as a child and trained to become an assassin by the FORCES OF DARKNESS, with no knowledge of who he is. Of course, this being Legolas, awesomeness ensues. Bleached Past - SkullMate (Bleach/Young Justice) Status: Possibly dead Robin dies, and is sent to Soul Society. The problem (apart from the fact that he's dead)? He doesn't remember anything from when he was alive. The Adventures of Robin in Soul Society! Darker Shades Series (Begins with A Darker Shade of Green) - Unromantic Poetess (Power Rangers) Status: Ongoing As the author says in the summary, a more realistic take on the Green Ranger arc in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. A wonderful story with drama, action, character development, the whole nine yards. Dino Thunder: The Legacy of Tommy Oliver - liron-aria (Power Rangers) Status: ...Ongoing? Recently revived after a long hiatus A rewrite of Power Rangers Dino Thunder, with more callbacks to Tommy's previous Rangering experience. A great read! Harry Potter and the God of Death - Nesarna (Harry Potter/Bleach) Status: Long hiatus, possibly dead :( Premise: Ichigo's related to Harry, and happens to visit and decides that he's going to make sure Harry stays alive, because he's family dammit. Takes place in Harry's 5th year at Hogwarts. Although this story hasn't been updated in a while, the quality of the writing means it's definitely worth a read. The Silent Song - Eirian Erisdar (Star Wars) Status: Ongoing An AU set during the time of the Jedi Apprentice series. What if Obi-Wan was mute? Your usual galaxy-saving hijinks occur, and Obi-Wan is still an adorable ball of snark. 'Ware awesome OCs! Obi-Wan is equally good at attracting trouble and friends. Soul Hunter - Skywalker T-65 (Bleach/RWBY) Status: Ongoing Ichigo gets added to team RWB(I)Y. Follows RWBY timeline pretty closely, with only a few deviations from canon so far. A well-written story, and Ichigo is not ridiculously overpowered, so that's a plus. Terrorism & Anarchy - VarianN Cloud goes back in time, and decides not to work to better the future through SHINRA. A rather interesting story, well written. Thrower of the Dart - Vathara (Artemis Fowl/Avengers) Status: Complete Set post-Lost Colony, basically taking the idea of Artemis being subject to all the rules of magic while he has any, as well as possibly justifying his obsession with all things magical. The Avengers then get involved, and shenanigans ensue. Tony is such a LotR nerd, and I want a Sindarin dictionary. Note: Vathara is a wonderful author, but often in her stories there is at least one antagonistic character who has been kept out of the loop, but refuses to change their perspective even when the facts are thrown in their face. The lengths of their incredulity can become exasperating. Tinder for the Flames - Lindir's Ghost (Lord of the Rings) Status: Ongoing, with slow turnover. A really, really good story, and honestly, saying anything more would be like detracting from its awesomeness. A fic about the Three Hunters, but if they had to Split Up during the Two Towers. Plenty of Aragorn/Gimli/Legolas bonding, and it only looks like shipping if you reeeeaalllly want it to... Although the update rate might be rather slow for more impatient readers, the author definitely makes up for it with the quality and length of the updates. Each chapter is incredible, and I personally go back and reread the whole thing every update, just to make sure I didn't miss something the last time I read it. |
