Authors and Websites

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.

Maternal Operations Machine by Kirmon64

My First Duty by Night N. Gail

  • Recommended by Blazichu
  • Synopsis: A oneshot from Clank's point of view, reflecting on his partnership-turned-friendship with Ratchet. There are major spoilers for the series as a whole, but especially A Crack in Time.

Ratchet & Clank Future II: In Search of Clank by Stephan Stryker

  • Recommended by Blazichu
  • Synopsis: An Alternate Universe Fic branching off from Tools of Destruction, so it's parallel to Quest For Booty and A Crack in Time. It's very long and, thus far, incomplete, but well worth the read.

Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Fics with Original Characters

Stories focused on an adventure, usually with a character who is not part of the original story.

Ratchet and Clank: Gears of Subspace by HeartoftheSkye

  • Recommended by Sage Serin
  • Synopsis: After Ratchet and Clank had restored the Great Clock, he came back to his home in the Big City. He soon took up a student named Skye, who had been wandering over the past year. But this girl turns out to be much more than just some random person.
