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.''

 * Synopsis: Years after the events of the series, Utena and Anthy have finally reunited and now live together. But Akio's not yet ready to let go of them yet, and events seem to conspire to force them to gather together the rose duelists to confront him one final time.
 * Comments: Very well written, narrated by a wonderfully characterized Utena who seems to view her life with that mix of amazement and amusement that you can sometimes see in the eyes of the animated version. This story is complete.

Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Ten Years After by Chris Davies
 * Recommended by User:Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: Ten years after the events of the television series, Juri Arisugawa receives a mysterious, anonymous invitation to a reunion of those involved in the Rose Duels that lifts the fog over her memories of the Rose Tournament. Curious, she attends -- but no one whom she meets there admits to being the one who sent the invitations, and both Anthy and Utena are missing...

Ma Vie Et Roses by Scott Johnson and Scott Jamison
 * Recommended by User:Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: What would happen if you got self-inserted into an anime you knew almost nothing about? Ma Vie Et Roses attempts to answer that question and subvert the Self Insert paradigm at the same time. Anime fan Skyler Sands wakes up to find himself the newest Rose Duelist at Ohtori Academy -- not that he knows that at first. All he knows is that he's been involuntarily shoved into an anime; he eventually works out which one, but he's damned if he can figure out why, or what he's supposed to do there.

Jaquemart by Alan Harnum
 * Recommended by User:Lightice, SuddenFrost
 * Synopsis: Utena and Anthy are living together in relative peace in Hokkaido, when Utena learns from a newspaper article that a young boy has been killed in a duel in Ohtori Academy. Realizing that Akio is continuing his old work she is determined to stop him, but Anthy is unwilling to ever get involved with Ohtori's affairs again. Going after the enemy alone, Utena manages to gather unlikely allies from some former members of the Student Council, while Anthy discovers painfully that the past isn't willing to let her go, and decides to take reins in her own hands.

Beneath the Skin by Alan Harnum
 * Recommended by Glasswalker
 * Synopsis: This fic sets its focus on Nanami, who struggles to redefine herself in the wake of the series finale, and finds inspiration in an unexpected source. Well-written and -characterized, this fic also does what few other fanfics manage: presenting a post-series Akio as a redeemable figure without putting him in leather pants.
