''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1285177/1/Shigures_Secret_Homosexual_Bondage_Dungeon Shigure's Secret Homosexual Bondage Dungeon]'' by Evil Asian Genius (Despite the title, this is not a yaoi lemon)
* Recommended by DrGeoduck, [[Tropers/Zadia|Zadia]]
* ''Synopsis'': Shigure reveals that he owns a Secret Homosexual Bondage Dungeon. Kyo and Yuki find themselves obsessed by the mystery of what this means, and they investigate. Will curiosity kill a cat and a rat?
* ''Comments'': This story is sublimely funny and silly and very affectionate towards the characters. A short and wonderful read. Will make you laugh. A lot.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5333444/1/The_Swordsman_The_Gunslinger The Swordsman and The Gunslinger]'' by [[Big D 1987]]
* Recommended by ChiTownBhoy
* ''Synopis'': An AU fic which takes place in 1880 Arizona. Kyo is the son of a samurai family and works with a gunslinger to bring down an outlaw.
* ''Comments'': While not the absolute best, it makes up for it in its uniqueness for a ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' fic. Successfully combining the [[Jidai Geki]] and [[The Western]], it sets up a friendship between the cannon characters and the [[O CsOCs]], and is more action-based than most ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' fics. But apart from the action, it also has the underlying theme of old vs. new; Kyo and Tohru are clearly out-of-place in the [[Wild West]], while his friend is not.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4001352/1/Reverberation Reverberation]'' by Windswift
* Recommended by [[User:Lotuschan]]
* ''Synopsis'': A few centimeters lower, and Hatori doesn't forgive himself. - Chapter 95 Alternate Reality
* ''Comments'': A "what could have happened" when Akito smashes a vase over Yuki's head. A great read if you enjoy Yuki, Hatori and some quiet introspective angst.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1828883/1/bShoopuf_b_Basket Shoopuf Basket]'' by Raine-Weather
* Recommended by [[User:Animenutcase]]
* ''Synopsis'': It's summer! And you know what that means... The Sohma Summer Vacation from Hell!
* ''Comments'': The author has a very unique writing style that makes the story hilarious. She manages to come across as a [[Large Ham]] ''in writing'', combined with [[Lemony Narrator]]. [[Character Exaggeration]] is rampant and it is wonderful. Because she didn't know much about his character, the author took some liberties with the characterization of Kureno, who becomes a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] of the Mabudachi Trio. If you've ever wanted to see the Sohma family cross the [[Mario Kart (Video Game)|Rainbow Road]] to the United States (specifically, North Dakota), a vengeful Akito hijack a ride with Kazuma to follow them, [[The Stoic|Hatori]] as the [[Only Sane Man]] and [[The Chew Toy]], this is your story. The story is complete at 22 chapters. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2324446/1/Shoopuf_Basket_PLATINUM The sequel], unfortunately, seems to be a [[Dead Fic]] at 8 chapters.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6447771/1/Playing_the_Fool Playing the Fool]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2220267/NinthFeather Ninth Feather]
* Recommended by [[User:Lotuschan]]
* ''Synopsis'': For Yuki's sake, Kakeru was willing to play the fool.
* ''Comments'': An interesting look into the friendship between Kakeru and Yuki, written from Kakeru's perspective. Kakeru's characterization is spot on, and gives a little perspective into why Kakeru acts the way he does.

''[http://chibirisuchan.insanejournal.com/52429.html#cutid1 Princess Tohru Series]'' by chibirisuchan
* Recommended by chibiaries, [[Tropers/Animenutcase|Animenutcase]]
* Synopsis: Tohru meets [[Final Fantasy VII|Sephiroth]] in the universe of [[Kingdom Hearts]]. [[Hilarity Ensues|Dancing mushrooms are involved]].
* Comments: The author somehow makes this crossover work, with increasingly hilarious oneshots after the [http://asylums.insanejournal.com/no_true_pair/28103.html The Edge of the Map], the fic that detailed Tohru's first encounter with a Final Fantasy VII character. Basic knowledge of the fandoms involved is necessary for understanding this fic, although more in-depth knowledge will help you catch the in-jokes. Tohru uses her skill of [[Talking the Monster Toto Death]] very well, leading to several [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. For a [[Crack Fic]] everyone is surprisingly in character.
** [[Tropers/Animenutcase|This troper]] totally seconds. Knowledge of [[Final Fantasy VII]] and [[Kingdom Hearts]] isn't exactly ''required'', but it ''does'' help. Tohru makes herself a force to be reckoned with not by swinging a Keyblade around (although she does have one) or by killing monsters - she's just herself. Her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moments Of Awesome]] are both [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilarious]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|adorable]]. Sephiroth has no idea what he's getting himself into. A great reminder of why Tohru is this troper's favorite character.
