''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/445254/1/Trial_By_Tenderness [Trial Byby Tenderness]]'' by Cevn
* Recommended by Sil X
* ''Synopsis'': A [[Self-Insert Fic]] which this troper knows to be one of the single longest pieces of written fiction ever (1.9 million words and counting). Complete with Humor, Romance, Drama and Lots of Esoteric Jargon.

''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180115193229/http://www.yggdrasil.org/omg/index.html [Oh! My Brother!]]'' by Christopher Angel (yes, that's his real name) ([https://archive.yggdrasil.org/omg/index.html direct link])
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis'': Skuld, on her first wish-granting mission, is dispatched to the home of Chris Angel, a strapping Canadian fellow. Chris spends some time discussing wishes with the young goddess, and forgetting himself, absently says, "I wish I had a little sister like you." Cue the special effects. The next thing Chris knows is he's just been promoted -- to the position of newly-minted god ''and'' elder brother to ''all three Norns'' -- and the Ultimate Force is already turning his life upside-down to ensure that he moves to Japan and into the Tarikihonganji temple. And when he goes on his own first wish-granting mission, his life gets even ''more'' complicated.
* ''Comments:'' One of the great 1990s-vintage ''A!MG'' [[Self-Insert Fic]]s that neatly navigates between SI-as-god (despite it being ''literally true'') and SI-as-[[Butt Monkey]]. At turns sweet and angsty both, but without going to extremes that might turn off readers. The author has written several spin-offs entitled ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160327070902/http://yggdrasil.org/cross/gt-index.html God's Toy]'' and ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20180226160926/http://www.yggdrasil.org/cross/index.html Turn the Page]''. It also has a proper sequel in ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk V: Another Divine Mess You've Gotten Me Into]]''. ''(Disclosure: the latter was co-written with this very editor and fic recommender.)''

''[https://web.archive.org/web/20141028152523/http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/vertigo/direfates/ Dire Fates]'' by David Tai and Rod M.
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons|Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis'': Here's something you don't see every day: A crossover between ''[[Hellblazer]]'' and ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''. With the three Goddesses of Fate all hanging out in Japan instead of keeping an eye on things in the heavenly realms, the level of chaos in Heaven, Hell and Earth is slowly beginning to increase, and there are a lot of not-so-nice powers around who are eagerly taking advantage of this. Enter John Constantine, who after prompting by Mara and the Phantom Stranger, has to team up with Skuld to figure out how to set things right.

* ''Pairing'': Peorth/Matagu
* ''Synopsis'': Belldandy isn't the only goddess granting wishes, when [[Please Teacher!|Matagu]] [[Please Twins!|Shido]] dials a wrong number and Peorth answers, he knows what his wish is. But things almost never go as they're supposed to, especially around goddesses, demons, and half-aliens. Complete!
