Fanfic Recommendations: The Next Generation
RE: Fanfic Recommendations: The Next Generation

"Recommendation" is a relative term here.

Back in 2015, OverMaster Wrote:Ripped from today's screaming Internet headlines! Review it before it's outdated! A burning question! A vexing riddle wrapped in a mystery inside of a Chinese box! What will your answer be? Contains some rude, harsh language.

It's a naive domestic crackfic without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its lack of pretension, especially if you remember the Question of the Millennium or are familiar with enough of the fandoms (said to be) represented.

Black Hole Heart is the first new Naruto fic I've found readable in years, with the premise being a Sakura who doesn't suck because the Inner Sakura joke the fandom makes so much of is actually the Venom symbiote (likely based on the 2018 movie version, but adapted to fit the setting anyway) has been passed down through her maternal line as a sort of faux bloodline limit technique.

Note that it is still Venom, so there's some very casually treated cannibalism going on, but I'm pretty sure I put more actual gore into my own Naruto fic while filing it under "canon-typical violence" in my mind. The characters do tend to feel like older teens rather than twelve year olds, but that too is typical of Naruto in text form, so, whatever. Just a warning for anyone who really doesn't want to deal with that kind of thing, as part of my ongoing "don't be an asshole" campaign. It's a work in progress.

Alas, it seems to have run into that fanfic meta-trope of the author getting distracted by something shiny and new, posting one more chapter after a couple of years and promising to finish it with another update "soon," and then dead-ending, but what is there is fun and it manages to be a decent stopping point even if it is open ended due to the lack of a wrap-up chapter or two. Possibly better than even many professional works end up being when they do have that wrap-up, Vision of Escaflowne and the Harry Potter crapilogue springing immediately to mind.

In a will of fire by a_sassin, Azula (AtLA) is reborn as the third child of the head family of the Uchiha, a few years after Sasuke. This works out surprisingly well for all involved.

Quote: “I am not cute! I will crush my enemies!”

But these people – her parents – had only smiled, and said –

“Of course you will, darling.”

“And you’ll make sure they never get up again.”

And, well. Wasn’t that refreshing?

Fyre, Fyre, Burning Skitter by mp3_1415player: https://archiveofourown.org/works/527022.../133306393

Quote: There's a very old concept in magic: Never call up that which you cannot put down. Shame the Death Eaters didn't know that...

Now they have Skitter.

Whoops...

A little present to mark the end of 2023! Just in time for the end of this year and the beginning of the next.

This Star Wars fic just updated and reminded me that it existed.

The Sleepover To Restore The Republic

In which Luke decides that the best way to process the revelation that Vader is his father is to, well...

Quote:“Anyway, I kept thinking it over, and since we both want the Emperor gone, we’re basically on the same side, right?” Luke points to himself. “Rebel scum.” He points to Vader. “Also, rebel scum, except you come in black.”

Last night, Grace was an ordinary teenager in Ohio, who thought the war was something a long way away that mostly impacted other people.

This morning, she's an Abyssal. Or is she?

I will freely admit that my first thought from that description was of an Exalted isekai.

Sakura Haruno the Gaming Addict and Her Gsmified Life is exactly what it says oni the tin, in the key of crack played on a musical saw. It's often funny, but the violence and consequences are played straight, with some AU elements (mainly RL online games and gamer/internet culture being things that exist to allow for the premise) also included. Currently only mid Wave arc, and Sakura is pretty much In Name Only again due to the premise, but it's been a fun read even if it's not any kind of great literature. Stories where something gets both Sakura and Kakashi to pull their heads out of their asses from the get-go are too rare to skip over for less than utter wallbanger plot holes and errors.

All the things that you stood by before (Mass Effect 3)

See, the difference here is that Alenko is having to come up with his position on the spot, without really understanding what he’s done wrong. Garrus has been putting the finishing touches on this resentment for a galactic standard year.

Garrus has a specific set of concerns, with Kaidan Alenko on board the Normandy again. They're not what most of the crew predicted.

Tonnage: A Gotham teen winds up inheriting the powers of Marvel's Fred Dukes (aka The Blob). Up to chapter seven and it hasn't gone well for him so far.

Wednesday Potter & Enid Reveal Some Secrets at Hogwarts by Writing_Heroics

Quote:What it is!
- Wednesday Addams' mind somehow merges with 12 year old Harry Potter's memories and she calls out a bunch of strange things in HP canon
- Fluff with Wednesday and Friends
- Slice of Life with plenty of 'Tongue in Cheek'
- Characters are considered to be complex and flawed
What it isn't!
- Canon rehash
- Bashing

Want a single story? Read to 83 and stop. Alternate AU endings happen after that.
