Proof that [[Sturgeon's Law|the remaining 10% is worth dying for]]. ''[[Groundhog Day Loop|Repeatedly.]]''
 
These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Fan Fic Recommendations|here]].
 
You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting [[Conversation in Thethe Main Page]] though; that goes in the discussion page.
 
When posting recommendations, be sure to indicate its relationship with the established canon arcs if possible. For example, if it's a continuation of ''Tatarigoroshi-hen'' or if it's post ''Matsuribayashi-hen''.
Line 34:
* ''Pairing(s)'': Keiichi/Mion, Satoshi/Shion, Rena/OC (Ryuu)
* ''Synopsis'': After Mion's 17th birthday Keiichi discovers a stranger wandering the village. This stranger just so happens to be Keiichi's cousin: Ryuu. When Ryuu joins the club however, dark secrets of his past are revealed and a dark government conspiracy unfolds.
* ''Comments'': By far what I believe to be ''the'' best ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' fanfic on FF.net as of this typing, the author combines very very well written OCs with a pretty original plot. Thought that Takano and Tokyo was a badass government conspiracy? Well, I must say that this fanfic will blow Tokyo out of the water when it comes to conspiracies; hell, the author even involves the ''Cold War'' and uses it as part of the plot. Moving onto the most significant OC, Ryuu Maebara, he is very well written, nowhere near a [[Marty Stu]] (as his badassness is thoroughly justified in his backstory), and in fact the fic's title derives itself from what he wants to accomplish.
** [[User:Comartemis]]: There are exactly four things wrong with this fic that I can see. The first is that the cicadas are still around despite the story taking place in winter (which doesn't ''sound'' so bad, except it opens up a pretty huge plot hole later in the story). The second is the unnatural skill the kids display with firearms despite Mion being the only one who's ever actually used one in-story. The third is that none of the kids seem too concerned about killing in self-defense, which was something they avoided almost at all costs in ''Matsuribayashi''. The fourth is that Rika and Hanyuu get almost completely sidelined by the plot, which focuses mostly on Keiichi and Ryuu. That being said, this is ''definitely'' one of the best ''Higurashi'' fics yet written, and this troper enjoyed it a great deal. Ryuu is a [[Marty Stu]] only by the very strictest definition and is one of the better [[O Cs]] this troper has ever encountered. Best of all, the story perfectly reproduces the nail-biting tension of the anime, especially in the middle third of the story, to levels approaching [[Original Flavor]] status.
** White Bear: Thirding the rec. I would also like to add that the author is currently re-writing the story into [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6783036/1/The_Champion_Trilogy The Champion Trilogy.] If this ends up being as good as the original, I will personally add this to the list myself.
