Black★Rock Shooter (anime)/Fanfic Recs

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

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Black Rock Shooter, 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 romantic or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

There's also a FanFiction.net category for it now, so prepare for all hell to break loose.

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.''

Bound Black Chain, by Person With Many Aliases.
 * Recommended by User:silvercover
 * Pairing(s): None except maybe for a small case of stalking...
 * Synopsis: What could Black ☆ Gold Saw be doing?
 * Comments: Basically the perspective of what Black ☆ Gold Saw is doing during the OVA. A nice way of seeing things from a enigmatic character who might be good.

Black Rock Shooter Chronicles, by Josuwa.
 * Recommended by User:mia 826, Tachibana Wish
 * Pairing(s): None
 * Synopsis: Every hero has a beginning. Every hero has a destiny. Every hero has an end. Even the Black Rock Shooter.
 * Comments: Very good fic, starting with how Black☆Rock Shooter was born/found, and showing the reasons why she needed to fight with Dead Master in the first place, merged with Mato, etc. Then there's a sort of documentation of the OVA, but what happens afterwards is where it gets good. Overall, awesome fanfic, I totally recommend it.

The Skies That Watch The World, by Not-Always-Fanfiction.
 * Recommended by Tachibana Wish
 * Pairing(s): None
 * Synopsis: One world crumbles, and another falls to chaos. Everything dances in her hand. And the skies only sit and watch, waiting for their vessels to set everything right. AU based on OVA
 * Comments: Elements of anime and game.

Psychosis, by Akar.
 * Recommended by Tachibana Wish
 * Pairing(s): None
