Proof that [[Sturgeon's Law|the remaining 10% is worth dying for]] here.
These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam

Line 34:
* ''Comments'': For those that are looking for bringing out the most [[Kill'Em All|Zeta]] aspects of ''Gundam SEED Destiny'', this is the fic for you. The story is dark and brutal as Shinn struggles with fighting for himself amidst those that would use him merely as a tool. Shadow Cell brings a lot of minor characters in for some focus, including the Phantom Pain members from Stargazer and [[Gundam SEED Astray|Lowe and Gai occasionally]] along with a few original characters. The stories also paint Shinn as someone who is not so much immature as lacking direction, and have the dubious honor of making this troper start to ''like'' Lacus.
** [[Your Mileage May Vary]] - Shadow Cell goes ''[[Up to Eleven|very]] [[Beyond the Impossible|far]]'' into the [[Kill'Em All]] territory, as well as having just about [[Crapsack World|everything]] [[It Got Worse|get worse]], apparently for no reason other than [[True Art Is Angsty]].
** Comartemis: I'm giving this one a negative recommendation. Not only does the author desperately need an ego check (this series is the result of him "proving" that he can do ''Destiny'' better), he also seems to think that the way to "fix" ''Destiny'' is to turn it into ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam
*** Fenrir: Yes, because every other fanfic author whose done a [[Fix Fic]] isn't doing it because they can [[Let's See You Do Better|feel they do better]] and [[Zeta Gundam|the series Destiny's a remake of]] ended with sparkles and sunshine and a happy ending through and through.
*** Comartemis: Oh ''bullshit''. People say "I think I can do better" or "I'm going to try to do better", not "this entire series sucks balls and I can make it kick ass by killing all the characters and making the setting borderline [[Grimdark]]". The author loses points right from the start for using a [[Diabolus Ex Machina]] and an ''extremely'' OOC reaction to turn Kira into one of the bad guys and it never gets better after that point. Destiny did ''not'' have a perfectly happy ending, else Stellar and Meer would've been alive at the end; the fact that {{spoiler|Stellar lives to see the end of the series}} does ''not'', in ''any way'', make up for such angst-ridden bullshit as {{spoiler|Kira murdering Cagalli}}. ''Not ever.'' I'm going to say it again: if you had any fondness for SEED and/or Destiny as they were, ''avoid this series like the bloody plague.'' If, on the other hand, you are a fan of [[Kill'Em All]] Tomino's work, knock yourself out. I'll stick to Solid Shark's 'fics, thank you.
*** SolidShark: Going to have to concur there. Leaving my own works completely out of the discussion, I'll simply say that I think the author is [[Completely Missing the Point]], both of [[Gundam]] and the problems with [[Gundam Seed Destiny]]. Point one: [[Gundam]] never shies from showing the dark side of war, that's true; but there's almost always an underlying theme of the struggle being worth it in the end, of ''something'' good coming from the heroes' efforts. Hell, even ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam
*** Komuro: If it means anything, his sequel story is nowhere near as dark, but is the sequel worth wading through 50 chapters of death, darkness, and destruction? That's the question you have to ask yourself. And I'm not so sure his much-improved sequel is worth struggling through his rewrite of DESTINY.
** [[User:Nitramy]]: In other news, the first chapter of the sequel [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6382337/1/ Mobile Suit Gundam SEED TWILIGHT] has now been released on ff.net.
Line 46:
* Recommended by Komuro
* ''Synopsis'': Three years after the end of Gundam SEED, war brews again. The Earth Alliance and ZAFT restart the fight, and the survivors of Gundam SEED and brand-new ones face difficult choices. How will this new war be fought, and who will survive?
* ''Comments'': At first, this fic seems to want to delve into territory much darker than Shadow Cell's, but quickly pulls out of it. A few awkward sentences (and frequently misspelling Waltfeld's last name) aside, the re-imagined DESTINY characters interact well with both the author's [[O Cs]] (who seem to make up most of the casualties) and the established SEED cast. Kira's a total angstfest though and Lacus gets dragged down with him, but I guess it's more of a YMMV thing in the end. Athrun and Cagalli are on the mark, though, and the redone Shinn and Stellar interact naturally and remind this troper of Shiro and Sayla from [[Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS Team]] a bit. Fifty chapters are up, so there's plenty there for people to read.
