* ''Synopsis'': Brilliant, unassuming and stark, you will cry, laugh and die inside reading UA's fics. Her unique writing style adds an interesting flavor to the narrative in a way that will make you feel that you are hearing a character's thoughts as soon as they pass through the character's mind. Some of her work is intense and dramatic, but some of it is fun as well. From Rose story to Karkat/John story to stories that are simply genius, this authour is definitely worth checking out.

* ''Synopsis''" No friendships. Ever. That's what Kanaya told her weeks prior, but Rose never really grasped the full of it, not until she found herself at the end of an Ashen crush. Now the Trolls are growing and the culture gap widening, the demon pounding on the door and the horrors whispering in ears. At the center of it all: Rose, trying to stand on both sides of the shore: without magic, without guidance and without one of her closest friends thanks to the very gap she is trying to bridge. This fic is dedicated to the Alternian third wheel.

* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis:'' A crossover with Problem Sleuth, focusing on Sleuth as he attempts to find a necklace for a very powerful lady whilst dealing with murder, gang rivalries, and a lot of mail.
* ''Comments:'' This fic is brilliant. For one thing, it meshes the two worlds beautifully, fitting Problem Sleuth characters into the mythos so well its astounding. Another point in the fics favor is the use of the command function. Periodically the commands will pop up, driving the story much in the same way they did in the original. Its used so effectively that it brings to mind an instrument. While most of the time the commands are used for humor, they also feature in dramatic and revealing ways. Its well written, well plotted, amazingly satisfying, and seriously deserves to be read.

* ''Comments:'' This story only has the prologue up at the moment, but it is completely amazing. It blends the world of Homestuck with that of Harry Potter so well that I am left awestruck by how good it is. The characterization is great in this as well. It is definately worth a look.

I can't even begin to tell you why this is so perfect and so wonderful without spoiling some of the best moments. My sole complaint is that I wish it were longer; as it stands, it is short and sweet, and everyone is completely in character. Bonus points for getting Problem Sleuth in there and making it work in the most hilarious way possible.
Line 485 ⟶ 477:
* ''Comments:'' Words cannot describe how this story is in its entirety. What I ''can'' say, however, is that the story is well-written, with all the kids spot on. The Doctor was a nice touch, though. The writer even got his quirks and speaking pattern right, he did. What happens at the end, though, I cannot say due to spoilers, but it was really heartwarming. All in all, a good Doctor Who crossover; it even sounds like a rough plot for an episode.

* ''Synopsis'': A beautiful and happy Alternate Universe where everything is cute and nothing hurts. Everything is meshed together into a non-canonical soup of anything goes, villains are no longer villains, and the Felt, the Midnight Crew, the Humans and the Trolls are all toddlers created by magic under the care of Doc Scratch. It has been described by others as a 'Homestuck Antidepressant'.

''[http://archiveofourown.org/works/225382/chapters/341275 Strider's Edge]'' by paraTactician
* Recommended by
* ''Synopsis'': John Egbert begins attending Oxford and soon finds himself making friends with "the odd set", particularly the wealthy and eccentric Dave Lalond and his circle of highblood troll chums. Good times and romance ensue, and then everything goes to hell. <br />In the author's own words: "This fic will tackle, in no particular order, themes such as memory, justice, desire, friendship, beauty, and revenge. Also pretension. Pretension will feature in a big way."
* ''Comments'': Sort of a crossover with ''Brideshead Revisited'', sort of a pastiche of the same; resulting in an interesting mix of 1920's-ish prose in a modern-day setting. The author clearly put a lot of thought into how a mixed society of trolls and humans would function. This story will break your heart if you're not careful.
