General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
Outcast by Lang Noi

- Synopsis: What would happen if, years after the New York City incident, Alex Mercer and PARIAH met?
Voices of the Infection by Ferric

A Hero's Mask by Liangnui

A Stray Child by DuchessJadawin
- Recommended by Dark Gidora
- Synopsis: After what Alex had confessed to Dana, she never wanted to see him again. How did Alex vent this out? Killing people, of course. My take on what the confession cutscene.
Frankenstein's Monster by Naniris

The Root of All Evil by Naniris

Shipping Fics
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.
Monster's Playground by Anya al'Nighter
- Recommended by Redazrael, NanoMoose
- Synopsis: Postgame, full spoilers. The phone rings when Alex walks by Central Park, and old ghosts don't seem to stay dead for very long.
- Pairing: The real Cross/Alex. Slashfic, rated M.
The Specialist by Anonymous
- Recommended by Erin
- Synopsis: All he was asking for was a basic explanation… However, when given the option between giving a birds and the bees talk to a sentient virus thing, and just giving a demonstration – well, Alex was a handsome enough creature, and Cross was a man of action, not words.
- Pairing: Cross/Alex
- Comments: A fill at the Prototype kink meme, and now this Troper's headcanon as far as Mercer/Blacklight's reproductive biology goes. Features(/warnings for) creative anatomy and sex between a man and a virus-thing.
