Courage the Cowardly Dog/Fanfic Recs

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Courage the Cowardly Dog Fan Fics, 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.

Authors of fics are not permitted to recommend their own fics; an author shilling his own work via a recommendation he wrote himself lacks the independent point of view which gives a recommendation any value at all; it is also a level of self-promotion that we do not permit at All The Tropes.

For shipping fics please list the pairings involved.

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.

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.

Courage And The Hendersons by Jonathan R

  • Recommended by Couragefan09
  • Synopsis: A town's dark past. An ancient silver dollar. A traveling family caught in the middle.
  • Comments: Often considered one of the best Courage fan fiction ever written, it's a fun story that could easily pass off as an actual episode from the show. It brings things up to a more epic scale and even the new characters fit right in with the canon ones.
