Lyrical Nanoha/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

Refrain from posting [[Conversation in the Main Page]]. That goes on the review discussion page.

 

 

== Authors, Archives, and Websites ==

 

* This thread gets several pages worth of fiction a day, and the average quality is higher than [[Sturgeon's Law]] would suggest. (That is, more than 10% of it is worthwhile.) Particularly good for short crack, either humorous or [[Lemon|lime,]] or both, but there's all kinds of stuff here. Very, very long. Bring a map, you ''will'' get lost in here.

 

[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/746291/Penguin DezoPenguin]

* Penguin's already got a bunch of individual recommendations listed further down the page, but pretty much everything he writes for this series is worth looking at if you like the [[Original Flavor]]. ''Blood and Spirit'' in particular is a must-read for fans of [[Those Two Girls|Suzuka and Arisa]], and ''Stahlkönigin'' and the rest of the Steel Queen Chronicles are a treat for Vivio fans (''Caramel Milk'' in particular contains [[Tastes Like Diabetes|300% your daily recommended sugar intake]]). The rest is largely drabbles and one-shots, some of which is written for RadiantBeam's Lutecia/Vivio series ''Shadows and Sunrise'', but it's all pretty entertaining stuff as long as you're not looking for a sweeping epic (Note that I'm only reviewing his ''Nanoha'' materials here; he's also got a bunch of work from other series that I haven't touched yet).

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3158516/1/Academy_Blues Academy Blues]'' by Daishi Prime (AU-Divergence between ''A'''s and ''StrikerS'')

* ''Synopsis'': Instead of organizing a military force in Midchilda, Hayate decides to found a school on Earth for magically gifted students.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3422535/1/Movements Movements]'' by KC Komicer

* ''Synopsis'': In London, a mysterious figure is stealing Mage's Devices. Nanoha and company are sent to apprehend the culprit. Meanwhile, Arisa and Suzuka chase after their friends on their own, and end up meeting a "Ms. Testarossa"... It only gets [[It Got Worse|crazier]] from there.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5144486/1/Infinity Infinity]'' by Andy Moczo

* ''Synopsis'': The Book of Darkness case is over, giving Nanoha and company some much-needed rest. But the peace ends abruptly as a pair of unknown mages descend on Earth, seeking a lost artifact and reigniting an ancient conflict. It's time to save the world again...

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5086723/1/Stahlkonigin Stahlkönigin]'' by DezoPenguin

* ''Synopsis'': The conclusion to his Vivio-centric AU story (although it wasn't so when he began the series). Follows mostly the cast from ''A'''s (although Teana makes a cameo) as they try to thwart a terrorist plot. This story is the finale to his Vivio storyline, so you may want to start [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4580614/1/The_Road_Onward here].

 

* ''Synopsis:'' "Crash" is a pilot for the B.E.S.T. Force, a force designed to test out new technologies, and "dispose" of confiscated Mass Weapons (Translation: We get to play with missiles). He's got a suit of [[Powered Armor]], a partner with a noted resemblance to [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Asuka Langley]], this universe's version of [[Megas XLR|Coop]], and ''seriously'' bad luck when it comes to machines. He's got just enough skill to survive when the Numbers Cyborgs came after him during the Jail Scaglietti Incident, but when Riot Force Six comes over to check out B.E.S.T.'s new countermeasure for Gadget Drones, Nanoha sees potential for more than just their new AI fighter... Comes with its own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb0Bath6SLU trailer].

 

** Also ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5467152/1/Recollections_of_a_Lost_Age Recollections of a Lost Age]''

** and then ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6037916/1/Magical_Lyrical_GSquad Magical Lyrical G-Squad]'' (Just started but apparently stalled)

* ''Synopsis'': One year after the events of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Striker S]]'', Nanoha and crew find their battle continues. Old foes re-emerge, leading to a climactic clash with the fate of Mid-Childa, the TSAB, and Magic itself as the prize.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5611237/1/Christmas_for_Everyone Christmas for Everyone?]'' by TheShinySword

* ''Pairings'': Some teasing of {{spoiler|Nove/Wendi, which gets elaborated on in ''Someone for Everyone'', mentioned further down.}}

* ''Synopsis'': A sort-of spinoff/prequel of ''Someone for Everyone'' (see below). Jail wants to understand what Christmas is about... and decides that ''stealing it'' is the best way to do so. The consequences are nothing short of insane.

 

 

* ''Synopsis:'' Takes place circa ''Force''. When an excavation team uncovers lost scriptures from the Book of the Silver Cross, Yuuno gets called away from his civilian life to lend his expertise to the case, but things get really weird really fast when he finds the excavation site blown to smithereens and the Huckbein fighting... ''the Materials?'' Yeah baby, it's everyone's favorite [[Evil Twin]]s from ''The Battle of Aces'', and things are about to get very ''very'' interesting for our dear Ferret Boy...

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6255031/1/Ready_Sette_Go Ready, Sette, Go!]'', by Moczo

* ''Synopsis'': Sette of the Numbers has been released from prison early for model behavior. With no other reasonable mission objectives, she does the only logical thing: move into the Nakajima house, and attempt to integrate into society. Key word being, 'attempt'.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5356788/1/Rise_of_the_Daemon_Kaiser Rise of the Daemon Kaiser]'' by F91

* ''Synposis'':On the tail of tragedy comes the revival of an ancient evil. Can Nanoha, Fate, and the others overcome their grief and face this new foe?

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7168274/1/Circuit_Clout Circuit Clout]'' by Extrinsical

* ''Synopsis'': In a time where Fate did not become an enforcer but a convict-turned-civilian collaborator. A world where TSAB is forgiving, but not forgiving enough to let ex-convicts into its organization. This is how her path was re-shaped.

* Comments: This is one long, epic, story told from Fate's perspective detailing her life if she never had the opportunity to join the TSAB. This fic swings from light, fluffy scenes to serious discussions to heart pounding action. It's one of the best fics I have ever read.

 

''[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=191415 Yuuno's Vault of Whispers]'' by Sorain

* ''Synopsis'': A few months after StrikerS, Yuuno gets an itch to go adventuring again for old times sake and after digging up some information on the so-called 'Vault of Whispers', hops the next flight out to the unadministered planet said to hold it. Shame that the planet in question is ''[[Borderlands|Pandora]]''.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5245635/1/Magical_Girl_Nanoha_12 Magical Girl Nanoha 1/2]'' by Lost Star (AU [[Intercontinuity Crossover|Crossover]] with ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'')

* ''Synopsis'': A simple meeting between two characters creates changes that snowball from a small chance encounter. The character interactions are just hilarious and very much in character for the characters involved. Plus it's one of the few fanfictions that this troper has ever seen that makes both Shiro and Genma awesome without them doing anything directly.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5172623/1/CotIW_Unfortunate_Meetings Chronicle of the Imperial Wars -- Book 1: Unfortunate Meetings]'' by Base Delta Zero

* ''Synopsis'': Two ships crash on Mid-Chlida through dimensional space. Unfortunately, either one of them alone represents a threat to all life on the planet. [[Warhammer 40000|Da Orks and the Death Korps of Krieg]] seem to be of a like mind about the state of the planet: [[Kill'Em All]]!

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5524989/1/Mahou_Shoujo_Lyrical_Nanoha_Decade Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Decade]'' by F91

* ''Synopsis'': While on Earth, Vivio overhears a comment made by Nanoha that causes her to run off and meet someone who will change her destiny. At least for the time he's on Earth. Crosses over with ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]''.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5761470/1/Lyrical_Decade Lyrical Decade]'' by Katsugi

* ''Synopsis'': The sequel to the above fanfic. Vivio unexpectedly finds Tsukasa, who claims that he no longer needs comrades, while everyone begins to attempt to cast the destroyer out of Nanoha's World once again.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6095074/1/Takamachi_Nanoha_of_2814 Takamachi Nanoha of 2814]'', by Shadow Crystal Mage

* ''Synopsis'': Shortly before the start of the first season, Nanoha receives a ring from a badly injured [[Green Lantern]], and things only get stranger from there. [[Mega Crossover]] with [[Green Lantern]] and the rest of the DC Universe, ''[[Negima]]'', ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', ''[[Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya]]'', ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', and a lot of other stuff.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5943503/1/The_White_Devil_of_the_Moon The White Devil of the Moon]'', by Bissek

* ''Synopsis'': Fifteen year-old Nanoha isn't just the TSAB's Ace of Aces; she's also the reincarnation of [[Sailor Moon|Princess Serenity]], and the Sailor Senshi desperately need her power to break a precarious stalemate with the Dark Kingdom that's been going on for over a year without Sailor Moon's help. There's just one small problem; Nanoha is newly crippled and still recovering from her timeskip injuries, but if the Senshi ask for her help [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|she'll give it regardless of what it may cost her]]. Luckily Fate and Arf are around to stop the Senshi from bothering Nanoha while she's on medical leave, but when Beryl gets wind of Serenity's return and the Senshi mistake Fate for a witch keeping their Princess under a spell... well, [[Melee a Trois|there's really only one way this can end]].

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5608842/1/Fate_Stay_Ranma Fate, Stay Ranma]'', by Bean Bandit (Crossover with ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'')

* ''Synopsis'': In the great city of Tokyo, Ranma and Genma Saotome arrive at the Tendo Dojo to fulfill Genma's dream of joining the twin schools of Anything Goes Martial Arts. That's great, but Ranma has much more pressing issues than romance, like the fact that he turns into a magical girl when splashed with cold water, or the fact that he's best friends with the ghost of that same magical girl and is ''very'' interested in remedying that whole "ghost" thing...

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6113295/1/It_Could_Always_Be_Worse It Could Always Be Worse]'' by Shaun Garin

* ''Synopsis'': [[Power Rangers|Dr. Tommy Oliver]], circa ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder|Dino Thunder]]'', hears Yuuno's call for help. Things get [[Crack Fic|cracky]].

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5433094/1/The_Doorstop The Doorstop]'', by Iaculus

* ''Synopsis'': The main characters of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' take the powers fanon has tended to give them to the extreme and morph into physical manifestations of the ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' [[Eldritch Abomination|Warp Gods]]. As they break into the multiverse, they meet up with Nanoha and the TSAB; chaos ensues.

 

 

''[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=174355 Big Sister]'' by Academia Nut ([[Big Sister|Tropes Page]])

* ''Synopsis'': Nanoha finds herself stranded on a [[Death World]] of ash and fire, her only companion a baby with burning red eyes and jet-black skin. Still recovering from injuries sustained prior to her arrival, taking the child to the safety of a nearby village takes nearly all of her strength and magic ability. As she recovers, she teaches the rapidly-growing child and leaves a lasting impression on him. This child is Vulkan, future Primarch of the [[Salamanders]], and Nanoha's love will have a big impact on the [[Warhammer 40000|31st Millennium]].

* ''Crossing over with'':[[Top Gear]]

* ''Synopsis'': To anyone familiar with ''[[Top Gear]]'' it's pretty much [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. For those not familiar with ''[[Top Gear]]'' it's best described as Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May go to Mid-Childa, get their hands on some local cars and faff about.
