Fire Emblem/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying and resetting the chapter for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be Zapped (wiki). Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

General Fics
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

The Only One I Have Left by Jayden und Verwelkt
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Synopsis: Extremely heartwarming scenario between Roy and Eliwood circa Fuuin no Tsurugi.
 * Comments: Poor Eliwood. Being gravely ill's bad enough but it's worse when your only son's off to war.

Vertigo by trimurti
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Synopsis: A heart-wrenching Fiora fic dealing with her Survivors Guilt.
 * Comments: Ouch...

To The Winds, Sing by Nisei
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Synopsis: For Seisen no Keifu fans, To The Winds, Sing by Nisei; a beautiful post-game Edain-centric fic.
 * Comments: Not enough people write post-second gen stuff.

The Diary of Kelly by Fimbulvetr
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Synopsis: For parody lovers, The Diary of Kelly by Fimbulvetr is parody pastiche fic of all the badly-written Tactician Mary Sue and diary fics in the Fire Emblem fandom.
 * Comments: I died laughing. Repeatedly.

Person's Unknown (sic) by IceBlade28
 * Recommended by Spiri Tsunami
 * Synopsis: Darker and Edgier telling of much of Blazing Blade, focuses heavily on Lyn and the Pegasus sisters, and on a Villain Stu Anti-Hero Stu mysterious person of highly dubious morality who would be highly Stuish if he weren't so damn likable. Also features a more traditionally Sueish tactician.

Wraith of the Lorca: Legend of Lyndis by Solo Wing
 * Recommended by Calahad
 * Synopsis: A retelling of Fire Emblem 7 : Rekka no Ken's Lyndis route. With the author taking several small liberties with the plot that adds an interesting twist to a story done to death.
 * Comments: A retelling with interesting character interaction. Complete.

Queen of Sorrow by Lord Syntax
 * Recommended by Asgar
 * Synopsis: A Darker and Edgier AU story focussing on Elincia. After Ike and his company do not manage to arrive in time, having to sacrifice Lucia becomes Elincia's first step down a long, dark and cruel road to protect her kingdom at all costs, occassionally reminiscent of Lelouch vi Britannia. Quite a few character deaths and surprises.

A Garden of Our Own by Shimizu Hitomi
 * Recomended by: Pata Hikari
 * ''Synopsis: Sacred Stones. Three stories that connect to a single theme.
 * Comments: A story focused on love without really being a shipping story. A Tear Jerker at times.

Feral by Velkyn Karma
 * Recommended by Kishou
 * Synopsis: Path of Radiance. Lethe gets abducted and forced into the Feral transformation process. Can Ike, Mordecai, and the others save her before it's too late? (Before Serenes Forest, Complete)
 * Comments: A very interesting 'what-if' story in which explores a side-plot of Feral Laguz. The suspense raises up when you see the evil(OC) scientist turn Lethe beastly and the Greil Mercenaries waste no time to go and find their teammate through waves of enemies. A great story that truly shows Nakama bonds and development with the main characters (Ike, Soren, Lethe, Mordecai, Zihark, ect.), and would have fit PERFECTLY in the actual game, even if it can be only be called Filler. Highly recommended.

The Legend of Link: The Burning Blade by Link 13 PGF
 * Recommended by dnzrx
 * Synopsis: Set a few years after the end of Twilight Princess, Link was betrayed by the country he worked to save and was driven out of Hyrule into the world outside of Hyrule, into the world of Fire Emblem.

Shipping Fics
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Shadows Under the Oak Tree by trimurti
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Pairings: Canas/his wife
 * Synopsis: Rekka no Ken, a long but very interesting take on Canas's backstory and relationship with his wife.
 * Comments: This was oddly cute. :3

A Kitten for Leila by Kitten Kisses
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Pairings: Matthew/Leila
 * Synopsis: A rare well-done AU about Christmas and kittens.
 * Comments: It's always nice to see happier fics for this pairing, they have enough angst surrounding them in canon.

Painting Portraits by Link015
 * Recommended by Sara
 * Pairings: Forde/Eirika
 * Synopsis: This is a lovely oneshot about a much-forgotten Sacred Stones pairing, Forde/Eirika.
 * Comments: This pairing needs more love, period.

Mountain Sage and Desert Tiger by CrossoverQueen
 * Recommended by Leradny
 * Pairings: Gerik/Saleh
 * Synopsis: A series of oneshots revolving around Saleh and Gerik (in Sacred Stones) throughout the length of the game.
 * Comments: While it verges into spirituality more than actual romance, the author has clearly thought up her own fictional religions instead of renaming existing ones--most notably regarding Jehanna, whose belief system was fleshed out from a single sentence in one of the earlier chapters of the fic. The fic in general is very well-written, with the interaction in every chapter sounding more and more believable as the author grows into her style. Sacred Stones needs more love, and so do Saleh and Gerik.

Crossroads of the Heart by Lzn64
 * Recommended by Sycu
 * Pairings: Rath/Lyn/Hector/Florina-just to clarify, this is as in a love triangle/rectangle-with some Eliwood/Ninian, Fiora/Kent, Serra/Sain, and others
 * Synopsis: Takes place after the game. Lyn's tying up some loose ends in her life, and needs to make some tough choices.
 * Comments: A very well written fic, all the characters are believable. At times, heartwarming and touching, at other times, very angsty. Highly recommended; I loved the character dynamics. Unfortunately, the fic seems to be dead, so there won't be any definite ending. Despite this, it's definitely worth the read.

Perhaps It's What I've Become, Perhaps Not by Sir-Shademan
 * Recommended by Sydin
 * Pairings: Boyd/Mist, One sided Rolf/Mist
 * Synopsis: A monologue by Rolf. Rolf talks At "Mist" about his feelings for her, his resentment towards her relationship with his brother, and the burdens of being a soldier.
 * Comments: A surprisingly dark take on the Rolf/Mist/Boyd love triangle. It shows what psychological effects war would have on a boy Rolf's age, and how he might be forced to cope. Very sad, but very good.

A Matter of Probability by Tayte FFN
 * Recommended by Kyllorac
 * Pairings: Heath/Tactician, Sain/Tactician
 * Synopsis: Heath has a one-sided crush on the tactician, Natalia. He enlists Legault's help (as part of their partnership) to woo her. Meanwhile, Sain, being his ever-flirtatious self, has attracted Natalia's ire. In order to halt his advances, Natalia presents Sain with a challenge: solve a tactical algebra problem involving Hector, Eliwood, and a hydra within one week by himself, with complete reasoning.
 * Comments: This is narrated by Legault, which makes it all the more hilarious. Unfortunately, it's a bit early to tell if it's a one-shot or not, though it looks like there's going to be at least a second part. Hopefully. It's still incredibly entertaining as-is.
