Line 12:
''[http://manga.clone-army.org/nana.php Nana's Everyday Life]'' by D-aniel Kim. (AU)
* Recommended by [[Muninn]]
* ''Synopsis'': No longer of any use to anybody, Nana (sans several limbs) ends up alone on the streets, [[Failure Is the Only Option|trying to survive in a cruel world]]. ''[[NanasNana's Everyday Life]]'' chronicles the triumphs and pitfalls of the struggles that our titular character faces. Mostly the pitfalls, though.
* ''Comments'': Technically a fan-comic. Is rather infamous for being noticeably darker than the source material that it is based on. Contains blood and nudity, and is thus not safe for Work or children/teens. Guest starring are the girls of the [[Gunslinger Girl|Italian Social Welfare Agency]].
** Troper Teslashark once wanted to do a commentry/liveblog on it, but found out that it would be extremely hard to write it without gushing out four-lettered words at the author.
Line 21:
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4647832 Godsend]'' by [[Oyashiro Pwns 1983]] (Idea by Brooks101189)
* ''Synopsis'': Alternate Continuity fanfic about a genetically engineered diclonius named Hilary who manages to escape the cruel facility that created her and ends up hiding out at a college and befriending college student William. However, her happiness is short when the facility sends guards, and an [[Ax Crazy]] male diclonius after her.
* ''Comments'': Interestingly, the fanfic features entirely new characters and only references characters from the original series, but there are a number of shout outs to the original series ending up being best described as [[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]] meets The Fury (1978) the [[Dean Koontz]] novel Watchers and the [[Jet Li]] film Unleashed.
* Two sequels have actually been planned with complete plot summaries, but as of 2009, both have been stuck in development hell.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4695538 Angel of Massacre]'' by Numbnut10
* Recommended by [[LSSJ 2]] Gohan
* ''Synopsis'': [[Elsewhere Fic]] about a sixteen year old male diclonius named Michael Mordare, the first diclonius born in America. The story is set two years after the events of Elfen Lied, with the occasional [[Shout -Out]] to its events. Michael Mordare has been raised by his human parents, completely unaware of his mutant powers. Then suddenly his family comes under attack by an American Diclonius facility, leaving Michael as the only survivor. Michael swears revenge and begins his [[Start of Darkness]]. He also develops a sadistic [[Split Personality]] who encourages Michael to [[Kill All Humans]] as part of an [[Evil Plan]]. Meanwhile, the facility puts [[Magnificent Bastard|Noah Brimstrome]], in charge of Michael's capture.
* The readers get not one, not two, but three sides of the story. Most of the story is from Michael's [[Point of View]], but there are chapters dedicated to Noah Brimstrome's side of the story. Then we get a third, almost unconnected, view from a female homicide detective named Jessica Hawker. Every character lends their own perspective in the story.
* The cast is entirely full of original characters, each one with an easily definable character flaw. There is an incredible amount of foreshadowing. The relationship between Michael Mordare and his [[Split Personality]] is defined as a "loath-hate relationship". Think [[Jekyll and Hyde]] except replace Jekyll with Hyde and Hyde with [[Up to Eleven|even more Hyde]].
* [[Angel of Massacre (Fanfic)|Now with it's very own page!]]

Line 63:
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6114528 Nana's New Life]'', by The Goddamn Duck
* Recommended by Comartemis
* ''Synopsis'': Based on ''[[Nanas Everyday Life|Nana's Everyday Life]]''. Two friends out for a drink discover Nana's near-lifeless corpse in an abandoned alley and take drastic steps to remedy the situation. Snatched from death's door, Nana awakens to discover that karma has ''finally'' [[Earn Your Happy Ending|started paying up what he owes her]], beginning with her new "family", a group of [[Blatant Lies|just-slightly-insane]] mercenaries known as [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Red Team]].
* ''Comments'': A bizarre and wonderful blend of drama, comedy, and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming]] brought to you by Heavy, Scout, Sniper, Demoman, and the rest of the crew. If ''Nana's Everyday Life'' made you cry, then this fic will make you stand up and ''cheer''.
 
Line 73:
** Comartemis: Make sure it stays unfinished then. Cheap or not, the Good End is the only real selling point this fic has.
 
''[[GaltonsGalton's Children (Fanfic)|Galtons Children]]'' by LVDB ([http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5327665 Link])
* Recommended by [[Tar Amandil]]
* ''Synopsis'': An ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]''/''[[Code Geass]]'' [[Crossover]]. Lelouch first met Lucy when they were ten years old--a meeting that he no longer remembers. He's remained in the royal family ever since. Seven years later, they meet again in Area Eleven just as Lelouch is about to launch his bid for the throne...
* ''Comments'': The author does a good job meshing the two plots together, although he (she?) focuses less on the rest of the cast (noticeably C.C.) than I'd like. Despite this, the chapters "written" by Lelouch are pretty good at imitating his thought process, and Lucy's [[Mood Whiplash]] from lovestruck teenage girl to sociopathic mass murderer are quite entertaining. R-1 just finished.
 
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5759835 A Place To Belong]'', by Lord of The Land of Fire
* Recommended by Mrdrprofessor4
* ''Synopsis'': ''[[Rosario to Vampire (Manga)|Rosario to Vampire]]''/''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]'' [[Crossover]]. Lucy is imprisoned in the testing facility. One day, the Exorcist/Chairman appears and gives her a second chance at life. He breaks Lucy out and brings her to Youkai Academy, a school for monsters, like her. The Chairman then brings Kouta to the academy while keeping the fact that he is human a secret, much like the way Tsukune was (making Kouta something like his predecessor). This takes place as a prequel to ''[[Rosario to Vampire (Manga)|Rosario to Vampire]]'', as familiar graduates of the school in the manga are still students at this time, and the main cast of ''[[Rosario to Vampire (Manga)|Rosario to Vampire]]'' make a few cameos as younger kids. The story most certainly has darker parts to it though, involving Karama trying to recapture Lucy, and {{spoiler|the death Kouta's sister and dad}}.
* ''Comments'': I don't think the synopsis I wrote really does it justice, cause it's a lot better than I made it sound. Of the thousands of fanfics for any fiction I have come across, this is only the second one I’ve ever enjoyed enough to read all the way through. Lucy and Kouta are the main focus of the story of course, but the supporting characters were also well put together. It reuses familiar characters and settings, but it's plot is entirely original. Its not a [[Plagiarism|copy and paste]] of either animes, and it is very intelligently written. I was very surprised this wasn't already on this page.
 
Line 86:
* Status: Unknown, hasn't been updated for two years.
* Recommended by Michael Maltani
* ''Synopsis'': [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. Less than a few days after the final episode of the anime, the [[First Encounter Assault Recon]] Team is assigned to find and either apprehend or terminate Lucy, but they realize they signed up for more than they thought. One thing leads to another, and {{spoiler|shit hits the fan really fast}}. The sequel follows twelve years later in Fairport, when a certain diclonius {{spoiler|Lucy's daughter}} breaks out of the A.T. Corporation facility and all hell is about to be let loose...
* ''Comments'': Although the first half of the story is short and sweet, it keeps most (if not all) the disturbing factors from both series.
 
Line 98:
* Recommended by Gojirob
* Teenage Dragon Ball Z hero Son-Gohan flees the destruction of his world and somehow, along with Goten, ends up on the same beach where Kouta and Yuka find Lucy. A dark take on the half-Saiyan emerges, as he seamlessly becomes a part of that world, even though he ends up altering events a little here and there. This Gohan is scarred and a bit lost--which means he fits right in at Maple House. Some teen shipping, some squick, and yes, a battle with Lucy. Still in progress, and it is progress worth waiting on.
* Now with [[Elfen Lied: Children of Destruction (Fanfic)|an entry]] on [[This Very Wiki]]. The author is thankful.
