Karsh Silvermoon has a sortish, all-OC but original flavor Angelic Layer fic. If you're not familiar with the setting, Angels are 12" animatronic
action figures (I specifically do not call them dolls, because they're truly deserving of the action figure moniker when even the most girly-girl styled one is as well jointed as the big M.U.S.C.L.E. Men toys, plus able to move and kick ass on its own when in a Layer) that activate on a special platform called a Layer, there to engage in martial arts duels under the control of their operator or Deus, who wears a thgouht-control headset. The original show is by CLAMP and is some wierd hybrd of shojo and shonen, with the ENTIRE series being the training and playing of a tournaemtn but the plot being about the young girl who's the main character ad her relationships with friends and an always-at-work mother. The fic has post-tournemant power levels, which is probably no suprise since it's set in that time frame with Angelic Layer being introduced to the US, and the main character is male. Oh, and the creator of the game is kind of a freak about how imaginative and interesting the designs people come with are.
additional original series spoiler in white:
The base technology behind AL was developed for medical purposes, one of the major incentives for always-at-work-Mom being always at work is that shes paralysed below the waist, and working on AL in hopes of deriving a control interface to let her live normally with the daughter again. This doesn't seem to have any bearing on the fic, but is a point of interest for the setting.
