* ''Comments'': Major angst warning.

* Recommended by bettername2come
* ''Author Synopsis'': What if there were bullets in the gun. A chapter piece exploring a 'what if' of Lucky's homicidal turn. [[Love]] pairing, but includes many characters. Spoilers 2.21 and 2.22 in later chapters.
* ''Comments'': An action-packed story that goes AU at the beginning of 2x21. Lucky really does shoot Wallace, and Veronica allows herself to be taken hostage to prevent Wallace from being shot a second time. The other characters work to track down Veronica, and in the process uncover the truth about the bus crash.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3417335/1/Martian_Manhunter Martian Manhunter]'' by Mediancat
* Recommended by [[Luc]], [[Scifantasy]], and [[User:Tobu]].
* ''Synopsis'': "My name is [[Veronica Mars]]. High school student, girl detective, and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fan. And I know ''everything that's going to happen for the next six years''."
 
* ''Comments'': [[Luc]]: A ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' / ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fusion that is almost indescribable due to the brilliant twists it takes.
** [[Scifantasy]]: I'll give it a whirl. The one mental hurdle is that Veronica is a huge ''Buffy'' fan, and pretty much up on every controversy, fandom characterization, and plot hole. I had a bit of trouble with that, but once you get past it, the fic is brilliant—how the ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' characters integrate into Sunnydale, how the ''[[Buffy]]'' characters react to the Neptune imports, and how Veronica has to once again solve the mysteries of her rape and Lilly Kane's death, this time knowing the answer but needing to go through all the steps.
 
''[http://vanessagalore.dreamwidth.org/103995.html The Year of Living Dangerously]'' by Vanessa Galore
* Recommended by [[Sarah 1017]], [[zmdr]]
* ''Synopsis'': After the conclusion of season 3, Veronica is accused of murder, and Logan is back in her life.
* ''Comments'': Almost listed this one under "Shipping Fics" (it's heavily Logan/Veronica), but that wouldn't do justice to the brilliance of the plot. An equally good (or better, but definitely longer) sequel is complete.
 
''[http://vanessagalore.dreamwidth.org/tag/precipitation Precipitation]'' by Vanessa Galore
* Recommended by [[zmdr]]
* ''Synopsis'': Sometimes it's best to just get the hell out of Dodge. Set right after 'The Bitch Is Back'. Veronica, Keith and Logan run away from Neptune after the events of 3.20.
* ''Comments'': Excellent and engaging story. Many of Vanessa Galore's fics are page turners, and are pretty long and engrossing. This is no exception. Work in progress.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3417629/1/There_and_Back_Again There and Back Again]'' by [[Gwenhwyfar Rose]]
* Recommended by [[Sarah 1281]]
* ''Synopsis''" On the second anniversary of Aaron Echolls death, Veronica and Logan decide to finally set their issues to rest, at the Echolls cabin, with six of their nearest and dearest friends.
* ''Comments'': This story takes the rather cliche situation of Duncan returning to the country and having him, his daughter, Veronica, Logan, Parker, Piz, Mac, and Dick staying at a cabin and makes it work. As Duncan's been gone awhile, Wallace and Mac don't know much before the series started, and Parker and Piz are pretty much clueless, there's a lot of reminicing and it is hilarious. Yes, Veronica and Logan do hook up in it, but that's not really what it's about and the friendships here are great.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4458384/1/Gimme_Sympathy Gimme Sympathy]'' by coup in the zoo
* Recommended by [[emmaliza]]
* ''Synopsis:'' "Are you just showing up to be belligerent or what?" Madison Sinclair has dreams about everyone's favorite mass-murdering rapist. She's not a fan.
* ''Comments'': An interesting, unique fic that both very funny to read and very complex. Tapping into Madison Sinclair's mind, of all characters, was a great concept.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2965691/1/Death_Becomes_Him Death Becomes Him]'' by Mediancat
* Recommended by [[Scifantasy]].
* ''Synopsis'': Aaron Echolls died, killed at his Christmas party by a jealous ex-lover. What happened next?
* "Pairings": Veronica/Logan
* ''Comments'': [[Scifantasy]]: Yes, this is the same Mediancat above listed for "Martian Manhunter." As far as I can tell, this was his first foray into long-form (and I do mean ''long''—66 chapters, more than 100,000 words—but it's worth it) ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' storytelling. The use of a [[Butterfly of Doom]] is well executed; one slight difference, here a security guard who keeps Keith from getting to Aaron in time to save him in "An Echolls Family Christmas," and everything changes. As with "Manhunter," Mediancat takes the same facts of the episodes and spins them out, asking how the characters who have been changed would react. Highly recommended, also complete.

* Recommended by peppermintflame
* ''Synopsis'': Dick spent a lot of time living in a glass dome. He couldn't tell you exactly how much.
* ''Comments'': A pretty good character study of what goes on in Dick Casablancas mind, and how much he avoids thinking about all the things he could have stopped, or done something about.
 
"[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5800787/1/The_Applicant The Applicant]" by Emma CS Me.
* Recommended by peppermintflame
* ''Synopsis'': He imagined hell to look... a little less like speed dating. Cassidy dreams of all the people he's killed.
* ''Comments'': You very nearly feel sorry for Cassidy having to go through this, which in my mind, is somewhat of an achievement.
 
 
Line 75 ⟶ 66:
* ''Synopsis'': What happened to Veronica and Logan after 'The Bitch Is Back?' Let's find out.
* ''Pairings'': Veronica/Logan
* ''Comments'': While the hero worship of Logan Echolls can be pretty wearing at times, the voices are good. There are some laugh out loud moments, some teary eyed moments, as well as some really creepy ones. We also get to see both Veronica and Logan being badasses. Complete.
* ''Tags'': There is a lot of violence. Someone gets shot in the head, there is torture, there is questionable behaviour from our heroes at times. But don't let that stop you.
 
Line 82 ⟶ 72:
* ''Synopsis'': Sick of the angst? Want some happy ever after? Let's have some fun, fun, fun.
* ''Pairings'': Veronica/Logan
* ''Comments'': Again, although everyone seems to be in love with Logan Echolls, it's definitely worth a read. We even get to see some side characters blossom, as well as be introduced to some wonderful original characters. Currently on chapter 15 and counting, but updating pretty regularly.

Line 88 ⟶ 77:
* "Synopsis": The plot is mainly character driven and is told from various, but, as the author says, the heart of story is Veronica Logan.
* "Pairings": Veronica/Piz, Veronica/Logan
* "Comments": The story is well-written, has nice long chapters, and she updates regularly. The characterizations are spot on and individually and overall, the quality is great.
 
"[http://archiveofourown.org/works/299180 A Strange New Story Every Time]" by [http://archiveofourown.org/users/gyzym/pseuds/gyzym gyzym]
Line 94 ⟶ 82:
* "Synopsis": Ten years clean of Neptune living, Logan's past finds him in an all-night grocery store.
* "Pairings": Veronica/Logan
* "Comments": A fantastic look at how Veronica and Logan might interact as more mature adults. Great Logan voice. We also get little glimpses of what happened to the rest of the cast. I really can't recommend this story enough.
