Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name/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 Tropers for Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be Zapped (wiki). Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.


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.

Dead of Night by Demyrie

  • Recommended by Rocket Happy
  • Synopsis: A man with no name. An unsuspecting but concerned coroner who should have been an artist. A vampire with a penchant for scalpels. A dead little boy who wants to find out what he left behind. Swap-AU vampWorth/humanConrad and platonic human{...}/zombieHanna
  • Comments: Demyrie tells an absolutely amazing AU story with a wonderful switch of all the supernatural aspects. Zombie Hanna? Human {...}? Vampire Worth? Come on. It's wonderful.

Nothing To Be Afraid Of by anthrop

  • Recommended by Seiyaku
  • Pairing(s):Conrad/Toni if you squint.
  • Synopsis: Conrad attempts to take care of Toni after an unfortunate brush with silver.
  • Comments: An incredibly well-written fic done in second person (without being awkward at all!) pretty much focusing on how Conrad reacts to shit happening. Seriously, it's just amazing.

Lightwaves by EmptyHeart and DigitalDreamer

  • Recommended by Naganonamy
  • Pairings(s): None.
  • Synopsis: AU The year is 20XX. Paranormals live in oppression, the government controls the mind of the people. Eli is an Ahimsa agent who's become dissatisfied with his existence when a certain red head comes crashing into his life...
  • Comments: A fascinating Dystopian AU in which the supernatural is a second-class underground society, {...} is a government agent working against them, and who exactly Hanna is, and where he fits into either world, is unclear. The characters are remarkably true to themselves for such a dramatically AU story.

Note to Self: Invest in a Sofa Bed by Hotel Denouement

  • Recommended by Lotuschan
  • Pairings(s): None
  • Synopsis: The kid's just lying there on the filth-encrusted alley floor with the tomcats descending on him and his chest's all torn open like nobody's business, and Luce Worth's just glad his too-small couch will finally be big enough for somebody.
  • Comments: A speculative look at the beginning of Hanna and Worth's relationship, set after whatever the hell happened to him to give him that scar. Amazing characterization of Worth and Lamont, and pretty-much-catatonic Hanna.

Up In Smoke by DesdesmonaKakalose

  • Recommended by Digitaldreamer
  • Pairings(s): Worth/Conrad friendship, can be more if one squints.
  • Synopsis: When the world is falling apart around you, somebody's got to hold the seams together.
  • Comments A Hannapocalypse three-parter in which an epidemic forces Conrad and Worth on a roadtrip in an attempt to find something akin to civilization. Absolutely beautiful writing and the best characterization of Worth this troper has ever seen.

Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Organic by Demyrie

  • Recommended by Rocket Happy
  • Synopsis: Conrad starts feeding from Worth. Some sort of...twisted...demented...thing comes from it all.
  • Comments: Just amazing storytelling having to do with the idea we've all thought of once we knew Conrad was a vampire and Worth was a masochist.

Sugar And Spice And Everything Nice by Dhampir72

  • Recommended by Midoriri
  • Synopsis: Hanna was shamelessly in love with the man who made him cappuccinos at the bookstore café where he worked.
  • Pairings: Hanna/Human!Zombie, Veser/Toni, mention of Conrad/Worth
  • Comments: The romance may move too quickly for some readers' tastes, but wow, is this a great story...The characters are still IC and recognizable despite being a huge AU, and it's just a fun read.
