Line 37:
* ''Recommended by Index''. Great Fanfic! A book with a huge amount of heart, excellently written. To my great relief the ‘twilight’ of the title refers only to the sky and nothing else.
''[http://www.yggdrasil.org/omg/index.html Oh! My Brother]'' by Christopher Angel (yes, that's his real name)
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis'': Skuld, on her first wish-granting mission, is dispatched to the home of Chris Angel, a strapping Canadian fellow. Chris spends some time discussing wishes with the young goddess, and forgetting himself, absently says, "I wish I had a little sister like you." Cue the special effects. The next thing Chris knows is he's just been promoted -- to the position of newly-minted god ''and'' elder brother to ''all three Norns'' -- and the Ultimate Force is already turning his life upside-down to ensure that he moves to Japan and into the Tarikihonganji temple. And when he goes on his own first wish-granting mission, his life gets even ''more'' complicated.
* ''Comments:'' One of the great 1990s-vintage ''A!MG'' [[Self-Insert Fic]]s that neatly navigates between SI-as-god (despite it being ''literally true'') and SI-as-[[Butt Monkey]]. At turns sweet and angsty both, but without going to extremes that might turn off readers. The author has written several spin-offs entitled '[[http://www.yggdrasil.org/cross/gt-index.html God's Toy]'' and ''[http://www.yggdrasil.org/cross/index.html Turn the Page]''. It also has a proper sequel in ''[[Drunkard's Walk|Drunkard's Walk V: Another Divine Mess You've Gotten Me Into]]''. (Disclosure: the latter was co-written with this very editor and fic recommender.)

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3505392/1/Hell_is_a_Martial_Artist Hell Is A Martial Artist]'' by Ozzallos (Crossover with ''[[Ranma ½]]'' and ''[[Sailor Moon]]'')
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis'': Hild, the supreme ruler of Hell, has found a new plaything in a gender-cursed martial artist from Nerima. Ranma Saotome has found an apparent ally and refuge in a strange "magical girl lawyer". But when Urd accidentally prompts a deepening of their friendship to levels unexpected by either, the nature of the game changes for both.
* ''Comments:'' As of 2018, the Fanfiction.net copy of this story is no longer being updated; additional material can be found at Ozzallos's personal board at a particular fanfic forum, but beyond that, the story may or may not be [[Dead Fic|abandoned]].
''[http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/vertigo/direfates/ Dire Fates]'' by David Tai and Rod M.
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]]
* ''Synopsis'': Here's something you don't see every day: A crossover between ''[[Hellblazer]]'' and ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''. With the three Goddesses of Fate all hanging out in Japan instead of keeping an eye on things in the heavenly realms, the level of chaos in
Line 59 ⟶ 65:
* Crossover with ''[[Harry Potter]]''
* ''Synopsis'': When an alarm go off in the Prophecies section of Heaven warning that a prophecy has gone astray, it is up to the three goddesses, and Keiichi, to fix it. Starting with them all moving to England and adopting a certain 8 year old boy…

** Complete at 22 chapters as of October 2015, it has a sequel in ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11577632/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Circle-of-Light Harry Potter and the Circle of Light]'', which is still active as of late 2018.

''[http://www.eyrie-productions.com/GW/ Gods Willing]'' by [[Eyrie Productions, Unlimited]]
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]]
* ''Pairing:'' Belldandy/Keiichi; according to the authors other couples were planned, but the story never got far enough to implement them.
* ''Synopsis'': Keiichi makes phone call, gets goddess, gets thrown out of his dorm, finds new place to live. Same as the original, right? Nope. Not when he's attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts instead of Nekomi Tech, and his new home with Belldandy happens to be an apartment rented by college students Gryphon and Megazone...
* ''Comments:'' Mid-1990s-vintage EPU trademark self-insert series that got only two installments out in four years before the story's muse cut and run. Not quite as polished as their modern work but still very good in this editor's opinion. While the first chapter is a fairly standard retread of the opening of ''AMG'', it's in the second chapter, "We'll Always Have Boston", that the EPU creative team really shines — in a plot that barely winks at a canon inspiration, Gryphon and Urd team up to rescue Belldandy from Aoshima, who has spirited her off
