Wizards of Waverly Place/Fanfic Recs

When a show about magic is put on such a restricted network like Disney Channel, expect there to be tons of fanfiction, specifically of the Darker and Edgier variety.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Wizards of Waverly Place fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here and to add it at the bottom of whichever folder you're adding it to.

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.

Note: When approaching Wizards fanfics, be weary that Justin and Alex are the Fan-Preferred Couple for a reason. On fanfiction.net alone, Wizards has nearly 2000 pages worth of stories and half of those are tagged as purely Justin/Alex fics, nevermind the untagged/single character tagged ones that will still involve the two. Most summaries will warn of potential pairings, but some don't.

 * Many amazing stories focusing on the relationship between the siblings Justin and Alex Russo. The stories are beautifully written and the characters are really well portrayed, without getting into ooc-ness. Strongly recommended for those who absolutely love Jalex.

omens, formerly known as Christy January.
 * Recommended by So Riku
 * There's always one author who sticks out above all others and makes a big impression on a fandom with their amazingly detailed and well-written stories; for Wizards of Waverly Place, that author is omens. Focusing on Justin/Alex fics, omens crafts tales that not only seem plausible for our favorite sibling pair, but downright probable. Granted a topic like incest is easy to butcher and make sound silly and forced, but omens' stories flow naturally and flawlessly. Anyone interested in the Jalex fandom will find no better place to start than here.
