* Recommended by [[Tropers/Spiri Tsunami|Spiri Tsunami]].
* Not too many fics, but the ones he has are nice and long. There's a completed Konami clocking in at 44 chapters, with an in-progress Ayano/Misao that spins off from it somewhere around Chapter 18. Also currently working on a Yutaka/Minami, so yay shipping!
* Be warned, though: The vocabulary can get a little repetitive. Read the Misano fic for too long, [[Got Me Doing It|and you might find yourself saying the word "cute" a lot.]] Also adorable, to a lesser extent, but mostly cute. The sweetness contained in these fics may have a cha[[Tastes Like Diabetes|HNNNNNNNNNNNNGH]]

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5029771/1/A_Cluster_of_Stars A Cluster of Stars]'', by RobDaZombie
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Sackett|Sackett]].
* Recommendation seconded by the [[Tropers/Rena The Archmage|All Powerful Archmage]]. Great story, and I follow it religiously.
* Recommendation thirded by [[Tropers/Spiri Tsunami|Spiri Tsunami]], who had already been following the author after reading a ''[[Negima]]''/''[[Love Hina]]'' crossover he did.
* Recommendation fourthed by Bunny Hopper, who came to this page solely to recommend this if it wasn't already up.
* ''Synopsis'': A series of short stories focusing on the humor found in daily life for the cast. [[Original Flavor]].

''[[Falling Stars]]'' by [[Tastychainsaws]]
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Hanz|Hanz]].
* ''Synopsis'': A [[Crossover]] between ''[[Lucky Star]]'' and ''[[Fallout 3]]'', with Konata in the role of The Lone Wanderer. Kagami and Tsukasa follow along, with other characters taking the place of other Fallout characters (the author provides a list of what character will represent who in his page). The story covers the game all the way up to Broken Steel, with some mentions to the DLC (notably, Tsukasa getting dragged off to Point Lookout).
* ''Comments'': It's an interesting interpretation of the setting, with the author taking a few liberties (the culture is more 80-90's themed than 50's). It's also a rather spectacular [[Break the Cutie]] story, considering well... It's the goddamn [[After the End|Capital]] [[Crapsack World|Wasteland]].

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5780603/1/Other_Worlds_Than_These Other Worlds Than These]'' by Vossago
* Recommended by Onmoraki.
* Reccomendation seconded by [[Tropers/Jon Ax Drayda|Jon Ax Drayda]] and Nightmare Syndrom. Great story, and a very intriguing plot.
* Synopsis: [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] centered in the Lucky Star universe. Starting out in the girls’ second year of high school, Konata is picked up by a secret organization from another universe, and with her new [[New Transfer Student|Mysterious Exchange Student]] friend, goes into other worlds of anime or video games to [[They Fight Crime|Fight Crime]]. Meanwhile, the rest of the main cast has absolutely no clue any of this is going on.
* Comments: The crossovers, of which there are plenty, are well done and easy to follow. Despite the fantasy aspect, everyone manages to stay in character, and in between crossovers it almost becomes [[Original Flavor]]. The universe-hopping aspect results in such diverse situations as {{spoiler|turning into a vampire}} or {{spoiler|[[Neon Genesis Evangelion|stealing a giant robot]]}} that usually wouldn’t happen in the regular show, but the way Konata handles them fits her personality very well.
** The story has concluded, and [[Tropers/Banjo 2 E|this troper]] thinks it's one of the best endings of any story out there.

''[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pool/show/1711 Tsukasa vs. Miyuki]'' by tori (On [[Danbooru]], NSFW [[The Internet Is for Porn|but still Danbooru]]
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Chabal 2|Chabal 2]].
* Synopsis: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Tsukasa vs. Miyuki]]. Be warned that this is an [[Crack Fic|astoundingly bizarre]] comic, which can best be described as [[Lucky Star]] meets [[Higurashi]] meets [[Hellsing]]. Approximately one [[Nightmare Face]] per page, [[Excuse Plot|characterization last maybe one panel before the fighting starts...]] hilarious, and not meant to be taken seriously.

* Recommended by [[Tropers/Mugen Kagemaru|Mugen Kagemaru]].
** Seconded by Jbstormburst. It is certainly more than what is left by the summary. Has the best characterization and progression that I've seen in any fanfic. Ever.
*** Thirded by Thanotosomega. This the best fic i have ever read it feels so true to the show you would swear it was a script for some episodes you had missed

''[http://rapidshare.com/files/148212200/lonely_kagamin_eng_01-30.rar Lonely Kagamin]'' by uncredited author (doujinshi, [[Girls Love]])
* Recommended by [[User:Koveras]].
** Seconded by [[Tropers/LO Rd|LO Rd]]. The [[Girls Love]] is kind of meh, but holy s, that's a soul-crushing depiction of loneliness if I've ever seen one.
*** Thirded by [[Tropers/Ben Allen 52|Ben Allen 52]]. [[Dark Fic]] indeed, but unlike so many of them, with a rather uplifting, hopeful ending. Be forewarned though - the depths of despair Konata has fallen to could very well make her fans cry with sympathy.
*** Fourthed by [[Tropers/Videogamer 07|Videogamer 07]]. It's worth a read, if only for the [[Alternative Character Interpretation|interpretation]] of Konata and Kagami after their high school years.
* ''Pairing(s)'': Konata/Kagami
* ''Synopsis'': After graduating from school, Kagami became a loner, wasting her days without interacting with anyone. Then Konata enters her life again...however, Kona-chan is now a suicidally depressed introvert who can barely remember the college she's attending.

* Recommended by [[Tropers/Dion Shmion|Dion Shmion]].
** Recommendation seconded by Omegahugger. There just isn't enough non-mainstream pairings out there, so this is a nice breath of fresh air.
** Thirded by Sirkku Jää Keiju. The descriptiveness and detail is exceptional. I just wish there was a sequel...

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5420491/1/ Someone Worth Fighting For]'' by Shadowfox026
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Osric|Osric]].
* ''Pairing(s)'': Konata/Kagami
* ''Synopsis'': Kagami is in the hospital with Konata staying faithfully by her side. Through a gradual realisation of the past day's events, Konata realises how much her best friend means to her. But will Kagami ever wake up?
* ''Comments'': [[Better Than It Sounds]]. [[Tropers/Osric|This Troper]] doesn't usually like [[Dark Fic|Dark Fics]]s for a light-hearted series like ''[[Lucky Star]]'', but this one makes it work, with excellent writing that really manages to tug at the heartstrings. [[Dead Fic|Sadly hasn't been updated in quite a while now]], but what's there is a good read.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6783865/1/ The Day Everything Changed]'' by Mr. [[Fanfic Guy]]
* Recommended by [[Tropers/CJO 123|CJO 123]].
* ''Pairing'': Konata/Kagami
* ''Synopsis'': The first story in a planned 3-story Konata/Kagami story arc. It is Friday July 1, 2005, and the girls are in their first year at Ryoyou High School. Konata is madly in love with Kagami, [[Cannot Spit It Out|but she has never been able to explain her true feelings to her]]. At the same time, [[Big Bad|one of the school bullies]] both absolutely despises ''and'' is insanely jealous of Kagami, and is absolutely convinced that she must take action. And at one point, [[Moral Event Horizon|she does by attacking Kagami]] [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|with a metal pipe and a pocket knife]]. Despite being badly injured, Kagami survives, thanks to [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Konata defeating her attacker despite being banged up herself]]. At the hospital, {{spoiler|Konata finally confesses to Kagami, and despite initially being stunned, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Kagami accepts Konata's confession towards the very end of the story]]}}.
* ''Comments'': [[NSFW|May not be suitable for readers under the age of 13]]. A bit of a [[Dark Fic]], due to the violent attack scene and {{spoiler|[[Accidental Truth|Konata correctly predicting the attack in a nightmare she had the previous night]]}}. Also one of the relatively few Lucky Star fanfics to have a villain. It's also hard not to feel bad for either [[The Woobie|Konata or Kagami]] at times each for specific reasons listed in the plot. Luckily though, [[Earn Your Happy Ending|they got their happy ending when they ended up becoming a couple at the very end of the story]]. Overall, despite being slightly [[Darker and Edgier]] than most Lucky Star fanfics, it is still an interesting read.

[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|It is set during the girls' Christmas and New Year's vacation]] between December 21, 2007 and January 4, 2008. In this fanfic, Konata and Kagami are now dating, and {{spoiler|by the middle of the story, Yutaka and Minami as well as Tsukasa and Miyuki become romantic couples themselves}}. What will happen to them along the way? You'll have to read to find out.
