* ''Pairing(s)'': Mainly Tidus x Yuna, though there is Shuyin x Lenne, Wakka x Lulu, as well as a few other minor pairings.

* The trilogy picks up where X-2's perfect ending left off, with Tidus having just returned. The first story, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6009002/1/Spiras_Dream/ Spira's Dream] has him trying to find out exactly what he is and how his return was possible. Meanwhile, with the Eternal Calm underway, Spira continues with the search for it's lost past. This story is more informative then plot-y, though many of the things introduced are quite interesting, and the ideas are needed to understand the next two stories (and the fluffy scenes between Yuna and Tidus are adorable).

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3258280/1/Soldier_of_Spira_Repost Soldier of Spira]'' by rr1963 (AU)

* ''Synopsis'': A [[Novelization]] of ''FFX'' with a generous serving of AU. This is not apparent from the beginning, though the skill of the writer is. ''Soldier of Spira'' starts from Auron's POV, and eventually written from Rikku's as well. The kicker is that, while it follows the pilgrimage, it covers so much more. rr1963 has crafted a power struggle between two opposing (or more) sides which Auron is involved with. Much of the story details Auron's past and Rikku's gradually learning more and more about Auron, Spira, and a war Yuna and her party aren't even aware of.

* ''Comments'': To call this story a diamond in the sand can't come close to doing it justice. The story has something for everyone, and is one of the few fanfics that focuses a significant portion of its story on political intrigue, and does it well. Better than some published works. Every aspect of Spira is expounded upon without it seeming like exposition: it's delivered so comically, or it's laden with so much intrigue, that you'll laugh or be at the edge of your seat respectively. It is also one of the few fics that portrays a relationship between Auron and Rikku and makes it completely believable. Auron has the standard misgivings about being in a relationship with someone so young, and this fic explores it properly. Delving into platonic and sexual aspects of just the idea in an gripping first person perspective. And Rikku is written as a strong, intelligent, optimistic individual who is very much still an irrational teenager. This fic has a [[Magnificent Bastard]] Auron at war with other Bastards, keeps him a solid tactical leader and teacher within Yuna's party, while still portraying a tough, military mindset that's in stark contrast with Rikku's (usually) bubbly, cheerful dialogues, and so much more. While rr1963 seems to have [[Dead Fic|abandoned the fic,]] it is still worth reading. You will find something new in each reread, and the novelty never completely fades. Click the link.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1696000/1/Final_Fantasy_X3_Dreams_and_Nightmares Final Fantasy X-3: Dreams and Nightmares]'' by Ultra Sonic 007

* ''Synopsis'': Takes place around 1000 years after the return of Sin to Spira, resulting in the deaths of {{spoiler|Yuna, Tidus, Paine, Rikku, Wakka, and Lulu}}. Instead focuses on a young Summoner named Hirum and the Guardians he picks up along his journey. Oh yeah, {{spoiler|Seymour}} is back too.

* ''Comments'': What I consider to be the best FFX story on fanfiction.net. While yes, it stars nearly all original characters, the characters are well written and work very well in the story. Also, the writer goes beyond expectations to describe how Spira has changed in the 1000 years since Sin's return. Trust me; it's epic.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2993007/1/Otherworld Otherworld]'' by RJtheClown

* ''Synopsis'': A story about the pilgrimage of Braska, Auron and Jecht, set ten years before the events of Final Fantasy X. Can Braska bring the Eternal Calm? And can Jecht return home to make things right?

* ''Comments'': It's so good it should be considered canon. All characters are fully developed including the side characters. Currently being updated and approaching half way point.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1807925/1/ Auron in FFX2]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/154530/klepto_maniac0 klepto_maniac0]

* ''Synopsis'': Oneshot. What if Auron were a character in Final Fantasy X-2.

* ''Comments'': A humorous oneshot where Auron uses the dressphere system. [[Hilarity Ensues|And it's not amused.]]

* Recommended by Archangel_One

* ''Synopsis'': Tidus/Yuna. Tidus, Rikku, Wakka, Lulu, Paine and Gippal are a small gang of high school students. Yuna is the rich new celebrity - no prizes for guessing which cute young student from the wrong side of the tracks she's interested in...

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1860264/1/bA_b_bYarn_b_of_bSeymour_bs_bOrdeal_b A Yarn of Seymour's Ordeal]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/573760/Silver_Whirl Silver Whirl]

* ''Pairing'': Seymour/Rikku

* ''Synopsis'': 'While Yuna is gone, Seymour shows up... again... and is defeated... again. However, no summoner means no sending, so Rikku, Lulu, Wakka, and Auron must keep Seymour with them until they find Yuna.' Basically, everyone but Tidus, Yuna, and Kimahri have to haul Seymour all over Spira so Yuna can send him. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
