District 9/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 Troper's for District9 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.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into prawnsexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it (althought what isn't to like about fic involving sex with sentient space bugs?), and as we all know, the line between kink and squick is both thin and Serious Business.

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. You can do it by leaving a review, or by just adding your name to the recommendations. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.


Authors and Websites

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.

A Cage of Butterflies by Anne Whynn

  • Recommended by Herr Wozzeck
  • Synopsis: MNU desperately tries to salvage their reputation with a goodwill effort involving instating volunteer doctors in District 10. Among them is woman trying to bury the ghosts of her past. But can she find peace surrounded a race that has no future? WIP on it's 9th chapter.


Deleted Scene by Poleepkwana

  • Recommended by J Morgan
  • Synopsis: From FF.net: Just a bit of deepening here on Wikus's and Christopher's struggles to tolerate each other, and Junior having a real blast. Not a real deleted scene, but meant to fit the movie like it was. To be placed right after the "where is the fluid" scene. One shot


Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

A Life Between Heaven And Earth by Abyssal1

  • Recommended by Blossom Morphine

  • Synopsis: The story is premised on the idea that the ship fuel needs time to be prepared, and Christopher and Wikus live in hiding in the meanwhile. From the words of Abbysal1 herself: "Wikus is in hiding in D9, waiting for the fluid to be ready so that they can ascend to the ship... but his relationship with Christopher has become complex, and the change in his body moves inexorably on."


I Was Your Hero Once by Lying In An Angels Arms

The Internet is for Prawn
