''[http://manga.clone-army.org/nana.php Nana's Everyday Life]'' by D-aniel Kim. (AU)
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': No longer of any use to anybody, Nana (sans several limbs) ends up alone on the streets, [[Failure Is the Only Option|trying to survive in a cruel world]]. ''[[
* ''Comments'': Technically a fan-comic. Is rather infamous for being noticeably darker than the source material that it is based on. Contains blood and nudity, and is thus not safe for Work or children/teens. Guest starring are the girls of the [[Gunslinger Girl|Italian Social Welfare Agency]].
== [[Gen Fic|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.''
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695538 Angel of Massacre]'' by Numbnut10
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': [[Elsewhere Fic]] about a sixteen year old male diclonius named Michael Mordare, the first diclonius born in America. The story is set two years after the events of Elfen Lied, with the occasional [[Shout
* The readers get not one, not two, but three sides of the story. Most of the story is from Michael's [[Point of View]], but there are chapters dedicated to Noah Brimstrome's side of the story. Then we get a third, almost unconnected, view from a female homicide detective named Jessica Hawker. Every character lends their own perspective in the story.
* The cast is entirely full of original characters, each one with an easily definable character flaw. There is an incredible amount of foreshadowing. The relationship between Michael Mordare and his [[Split Personality]] is defined as a "loath-hate relationship". Think [[Jekyll and Hyde]] except replace Jekyll with Hyde and Hyde with [[Up to Eleven|even more Hyde]].

"[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7579326/1/Elfen_Lied_The_Second_Verse: The Second Verse]" by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2109072/Themulchmeister Themulchmeister]
* Recommended by LKB
* "Synopsis": This is probably what Elfen Lied would look like if it had a second Season. The later part of the manga is adapted, but there are notable divergences, and a somewhat different ending.
* A good story, and adaptation. The author did a lot of work o this, finding songs to go with the mood, casting preview paragraphs, and even Omakes. It adapts the material seen in the manga and not in the Anime, but (like the anime) it takes liberties in characters, {{spoiler|and their fates}}. The divergences make this a very good read, and it's recommended to fans of the Manga and the Anime.
== [[Dark Fic
''Stories that possess the original tragic and horrifying darkness that is Elfen Lied.''
Line 58 ⟶ 43:
* ''Synopsis'': A tragic one-shot about the life of Number Twenty-Eight.
== [[Crossover
''Stories focused on the series being crossed over with one or several other series.''
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6114528 Nana's New Life]'', by The Goddamn Duck
* Recommended by Comartemis
* ''Synopsis'': Based on ''[[
* ''Comments'': A bizarre and wonderful blend of drama, comedy, and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming]] brought to you by Heavy, Scout, Sniper, Demoman, and the rest of the crew. If ''Nana's Everyday Life'' made you cry, then this fic will make you stand up and ''cheer''.
''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-16091/Belisarius+Worthy.htm Worthy]'', by Belisarius
* Recommended by Comartemis
* ''Synopsis'': Sometimes we run out of second chances... but sometimes we don't. On the edge of life and death, the Powers That Be grant Lucy one last chance to prove herself worthy of a happy ending by dropping her face-first into [[Forgotten Realms|the Underdark of Faerun]]... and right into the laps of [[
* ''Comments'': A well-written but short crossover that gives Lucy a much-needed chance to [[Earn Your Happy Ending|Earn Her Happy Ending]]. Unfortunately that's the main reason I recommend it; the execution suffers a little because Belisarius tries to take what should be a long and arduous story of atonement and compress it down into a bit more than 13,000 words; as it stands, Lucy's redemption epiphany feels very rushed and artificial. Still, if you're looking for a happy ending for [[Fan Nickname|Lulu]], you'll definitely find one here.
** Well now I feel guilty for never continuing this. I will say this: There's a reason it felt cheap, and Lucy's naive idea that you can simply decide to no longer be evil comes back to bite her and her unwitting companions in the ass. [[Killed Off for Real|Hard]].
** Comartemis: Make sure it stays unfinished then. Cheap or not, the Good End is the only real selling point this fic has.

* ''Synopsis'': An ''[[
* ''Comments'': The author does a good job meshing the two plots together, although he (she?) focuses less on the rest of the cast (noticeably C.C.) than I'd like. Despite this, the chapters "written" by Lelouch are pretty good at imitating his thought process, and Lucy's [[Mood Whiplash]] from lovestruck teenage girl to sociopathic mass murderer are quite entertaining. R-1 just finished.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5759835 A Place To Belong]'', by Lord of The Land of Fire
* Recommended by Mrdrprofessor4
* ''Synopsis'': ''[[Rosario
* ''Comments'': I don't think the synopsis I wrote really does it justice, cause it's a lot better than I made it sound. Of the thousands of fanfics for any fiction I have come across, this is only the second one I’ve ever enjoyed enough to read all the way through. Lucy and Kouta are the main focus of the story of course, but the supporting characters were also well put together. It reuses familiar characters and settings, but it's plot is entirely original. Its not a [[Plagiarism|copy and paste]] of either animes, and it is very intelligently written. I was very surprised this wasn't already on this page.

* ''Synopsis'': [[Exactly What It Says
* ''Comments'': Although the first half of the story is short and sweet, it keeps most (if not all) the disturbing factors from both series.

** Thanks for the rec from the author himself! (BTW, Set 5 does a separate AU for each and all 107 manga chapters, with 26 different concluding AU's)

* Recommended by Gojirob
* Teenage Dragon Ball Z hero Son-Gohan flees the destruction of his world and somehow, along with Goten, ends up on the same beach where Kouta and Yuka find Lucy. A dark take on the half-Saiyan emerges, as he seamlessly becomes a part of that world, even though he ends up altering events a little here and there. This Gohan is scarred and a bit
