Authors and Websites
5MITH
 * Recommended by Ethan Miller
 * Pairings: None, this author writes general stories.
 * The author has written a few parody oneshots featuring Smith and Trinity. This editor thinks they are worth a look.

Other Side
 * Recommended by Sikon
 * A shared Fan Verse mostly devoted to looking at the Matrix "from the other side", that is, from the programs' POV. It has some interesting additions to canon, such as Agents who are digitized former humans. They focus mostly on original characters and locations outside the movies' Mega City, mostly Russia, since most of the authors are Russian.

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.''

Awakenings by Lovelace
 * Recommended by Ectoplasm
 * Pairing(s): Smith/OC
 * Synopsis: The plot is a bit too complicated to fit in a synopsis, but it's a Semi-AU, kind of a retelling of the Matrix trilogy, but from a different perspective (and then some). Much, MUCH better than it sounds.

Kindergarten by Trinchardin
 * Recommended by: The Otaku Ninja
 * Synopsis: What if the characters of the Matrix went to kindergarten together? [Concluding Chapter!]

The Matrix Return, by Peter Chimaera
 * Recommended by: Ethan Miller
 * Synopsis: A hilariously bad story by the author that brought us Doom: Repercussions of Evil.

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