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.''

Cherry Blossoms by Jeff Morris
 * Synopsis: Jeff Morris' Cherry Blossoms is a bittersweet tale set in the OVA Tenchiverse, telling of Ryoko's decline and death as a result of a "deadman switch" virus implanted in her by Kagato, and the effects it has on those around her.

Parting a Cloudy Future by Adrian Tymes
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: Kiyone's the one who keeps Mihoshi out of trouble, right? When the Galaxy Police is abruptly disbanded because of a systematic internal corruption Kiyone never knew existed, Kiyone learns she's been the protected, not the protector—and that the organization for justice that she served so faithfully was anything but just. Mihoshi burned out when she learned the truth about the Galaxy Police; but Kiyone's passion for justice still burns bright, even if she has to act alone...

Running Scared by DB Sommer
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: Teenaged boy spending the summer at his grandfather's shrine encounters a bevy of beautiful alien girls, some of whom are his relatives. Think you know this story? Not when the boy's name is Yosho... and Grandpa is Tenchi. And the girls are angry at being abandoned for fifty years...

Bishonen Muyo: Ken-Ohki by "Keener"
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: Seven hundred years ago, Aeka Jurai chased Kagato to Earth, defeated and imprisoned him, and stayed on the primitive planet.  Young and female Tenchi is her granddaughter in the late twentieth century, and when she unseals the prison of a legendary demon, the results are nothing like she's expecting...
 * Comments: Only two chapters, but wild fun while it lasts.


 * In Vino Veritas by "Sinom Bre"
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: Set in the aftermath of the third Tenchi film, Tenchi Forever! The Movie, "In Vino Veritas" is about the cascade of events that occur in the wake of the revelations made during and after one night of drunkenness... and how they change the relationships between Tenchi and the members of his Unwanted Harem.

Crossover Fics
Kakumei Muyo by Harunomiya (Crossover with Revolutionary Girl Utena)
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
 * Synopsis: The Masaki household gains a new member when a wandering post-series Utena Tenjou convinces Katsuhito to take her on as a kendo student. She and Tenchi become all but siblings, and as bit by bit her mysterious past is revealed, she gains respect, friends and allies among the household.
 * Comments: A wonderful, well-written piece, but sadly abandoned in mid-stream all the way back in 2010.  Still, it got to 26 chapters and over 180,000 words, so if you want to risk the heartbreak of never getting a conclusion, there's a lot there to enojy.

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

Aikan Muyo by Happosai (Includes numerous scenes filled with sexual content; assumed to be in the Tenchi Universe continuity due to the presence of GP!Kiyone)
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
 * Pairing(s): Tenchi/Ayeka and Tenchi/Ryoko
 * Synopsis: Ryoko and Ayeka's war over Tenchi continues, and when Ryoko can no longer wait for Tenchi to make a choice between her or the Juraian princess, she forces a break in the stalemate by forcing Tenchi and Ayeka together. But things only get more complicated from there when Ryoko beds Tenchi soon afterward, and Ayeka and Ryoko settle upon a truce so they can share Tenchi. And that's just half of the story.
 * Comments: Very NSFW.

Vacation Days by DB Sommer
 * Recommended by Looney Toons
