Line 11: ''[http://manga.clone-army.org/nana.php Nana's Everyday Life]'' by D-aniel Kim. (AU) * Recommended by [[Muninn]] * ''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]]. ''[[Nana's Everyday Life]]'' chronicles the triumphs and pitfalls of the struggles that our titular character faces. Mostly the pitfalls, though. * ''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]]. ** Troper Teslashark once wanted to do a commentry/liveblog on it, but found out that it would be extremely hard to write it without gushing out four-lettered words at the author. == [[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/4647832 Godsend]'' by [[Oyashiro Pwns 1983]] (Idea by Brooks101189)~~ * ''Synopsis'': Alternate Continuity fanfic about a genetically engineered diclonius named Hilary who manages to escape the cruel facility that created her and ends up hiding out at a college and befriending college student William. However, her happiness is short when the facility sends guards, and an [[Ax Crazy]] male diclonius after her. * ''Comments'': Interestingly, the fanfic features entirely new characters and only references characters from the original series, but there are a number of shout outs to the original series ending up being best described as [[Elfen Lied]] meets The Fury (1978) the [[Dean Koontz]] novel Watchers and the [[Jet Li]] film Unleashed. * Two sequels have actually been planned with complete plot summaries, but as of 2009, both have been stuck in development hell. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695538 Angel of Massacre]'' by Numbnut10 * Recommended by ~~[[LSSJ 2]]~~LSSJ2 Gohan * ''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-Out]] to its events. Michael Mordare has been raised by his human parents, completely unaware of his mutant powers. Then suddenly his family comes under attack by an American Diclonius facility, leaving Michael as the only survivor. Michael swears revenge and begins his [[Start of Darkness]]. He also develops a sadistic [[Split Personality]] who encourages Michael to [[Kill All Humans]] as part of an [[Evil Plan]]. Meanwhile, the facility puts [[Magnificent Bastard\|Noah Brimstrome]], in charge of Michael's capture. * 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]]. * [[Angel of Massacre\|Now with it's very own page!]] ~~''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5473835 Interruption]'' by cartoonpsycho888999~~ * Recommended by rottenvenetic * ''Synopsis:'' The author inserts himself in the story about two years after the anime {{spoiler\|(how else would Lucy still be alive?)}} as an exchange student who is to stay at Kaede House for three months. He's caught up in a rather classical Elfen Lied misadventure (author's word), but there are a lot of surprising appearances. * The story is quite hilarious and intentionally over the top, abounding with references to psychology, Hollywood films, Internet culture and anime culture. It doesn't start particularly violent, but later on it works up the violence to Elfen Lied-grade. * Jeep-Eep: Started off fairly reasonable, and most of the way, it's fairly good. Near the end, especially when {{spoiler\|Chris-Chan}} made his appearance is when things start going rather badly downhill. Wouldn't really recommend. ~~''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2384938 Elfen Lied: Alpha]'' by Baron Noir~~ * Recommended by [[Endless Dreamer]] ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7703674/2/ELfen_Lied_The_Favor_series Elfen Lied: The Favor Series]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3582345/keithallen Keithallen] Line 50 ⟶ 35: * 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~~\|Dark Fics~~]]s == ''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~~\|Crossovers~~]]s == ''Stories focused on the series being crossed over with one or several other series.'' Line 74 ⟶ 59: ''[[Galton's Children\|Galtons Children]]'' by LVDB ([http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5327665 Link]) * Recommended by [[Tar Amandil]] * ''Synopsis'': An ''[[Elfen Lied]]''/''[[Code Geass]]'' [[Crossover]]. Lelouch first met Lucy when they were ten years ~~old--a~~old—a meeting that he no longer remembers. He's remained in the royal family ever since. Seven years later, they meet again in Area Eleven just as Lelouch is about to launch his bid for the throne... * ''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. Line 95 ⟶ 80: ** 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) ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5386296 Elfen Lied: Children Of Destruction]'' by ~~[[LSSJ 2]]~~LSSJ2 Gohan * 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 ~~lost--which~~lost—which means he fits right in at Maple House. Some teen shipping, some squick, and yes, a battle with Lucy. Still in progress, and it is progress worth waiting on. * Now with [[Elfen Lied: Children of Destruction\|an entry]] on [[This Very Wiki]]. The author is thankful. Line 104 ⟶ 89: None yet. ~~== Unmade But On The Schedule ==~~ * Troper Teslashark is planning on a story happening 5 months after the manga version's ending but dropped it for lack of motivation. Please remind him of it now and then. Plot(No copycating!): A secone Lucy is descovered in the US but is transported to Japan for research. She escapes upon reaching Kamakura, and meets the Original EL cast(or what's left of it), by turning into Nyu accidentally. At the same time, Arakawa and Kurama started a new research on de-Vectoring to make Diclonii and Homo Sapiens live peacefully together, while Bantou and Nousou's Bodyguard are hired to hunt Second Lucy down(also to gather money to get Bantou cloned since he lost his lower body and his pecker). Then a Diclonii-worshipping cult(members all Homo Sapiens) bumbles in. The fun begins. By the way, [[Carrie\|there's no point in guessing what the original protagonist is called]]. {{reflist}} ~~[[Category:Fan Fic Recommendations]]~~ [[Category:Elfen Lied]] [[Category:Fanfic Recs]]
