General Fics

The Cradle Will Fall by SnowPrincess88

  • Recommended by Zenfrodo
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew
  • Synopsis: Pre-season 3; Frank and Joe agree to help Fenton search for a missing, pregnant teen, and soon find themselves involved in a full-scale baby selling ring...with a perpetrator who will do anything to avoid being discovered. Even murder.
  • Comments: Snow sets her tales between post-season 2, and wipes season 3 off the map. This tale is in progress, and looks to be another fun read.

Have Gun, Will Murder by SnowPrincess88

  • Recommended by Zenfrodo
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew
  • Synopsis: Pre-season 3; the Hardys & Nancy Drew head to an Oklahoma cattle ranch to investigate instances of vandalism, never imagining that what seemed like a such a trivial case could quickly become so violent...and deadly.
  • Comments: A very FUN tale that captures the light, cheesy fluffiness of the show wonderfully. Has some adult sexual themes, but nothing explicit.

The Art of the Heist by SnowPrincess88

  • Recommended by Zenfrodo
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew, Joe Hardy/OC
  • Synopsis: Pre-season 3; What was supposed to be an easy trip to Jamaica to apprehend art smugglers, quickly turns violent as new clues lead the Hardys to wonder who's really a friend…and who wants them dead.
  • Comments: Another very fun tale that captures the light-heartedness of the show. Again, adult themes and a lot of sex-teasing, but nothing explicit.

To Wash It White As Snow by JDSampson

  • Recommended by Zenfrodo
  • Synopsis: Set post-Season 3. When an undercover assignment goes wrong and Joe is badly hurt, Frank thinks long and hard about his association with the Justice Dept. Then the suspect comes back for revenge and Frank must bear the weight of his brother's blood on his own hands.
  • Comments: JD is a VERY talented writer, taking the series and adding real-world grit to it. For the squeamish: if the thought of being Buried Alive scares the daylights out of you, you may want to give this one a pass.


Liar's Club by JDSampson

  • Recommended by Zenfrodo
  • Synopsis: Set post-Season 3. A vacation at the beach turns into a nightmare when Frank and Joe discover that one of their friends is willing to kill in order to expose a liar.
  • Comments: Yet another great story from JD. Mind the warnings: this one's in the Mature section of Fanfiction.net due to its sex and rape themes.
  • Tags: NSFW


House of Cards by JDSampson

  • Recommended by Zenfrodo
  • Synopsis: Set post-Season 3. Frank's looking for a change which includes an illicit night on the beach with a girl he just met in Mexico. Unfortunately for him, his dream date turns into a horrible nightmare for him and his whole family.
  • Comments: JD was on a major roll. Mind the warnings: while not explicit, it does deal with the aftermath of a rape/murder.
