Super Smash Bros./Fanfic Recs

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Super Smash Bros. Fan Fics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation in the Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.


Authors and Websites

Make Your Move by various.

  • Recommended by Davidreamcatcha
  • Now with its own page, Make Your Move is not a fanfiction, instead, a constantly ongoing series of contests on Smashboards. Writers are tasked to write movesets (and occasional extras) for not just characters from Nintendo franchises, but from anything ever, from the expected ones like Kaptain K. Rool and Dark Bowser to the completely unexpected such as Doctor Strangelove and Colonel Sanders. Many movesets themselves are (for the most part) so well-written and intricate, after looking through a few, you'll probably say something like "Why the hell isn't Pennywise the Dancing Clown not in a Smash Bros game yet?"

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.

Life Aboard The Halberd By Wise Crack Idiots. Contains some swearing.

  • Recommended by Rifflet
  • Status: Ongoing.
  • Synopsis: So after Tabuu was defeated, all of the Brawl characters (minus former villians Bowser, Dedede, Wario and Ganondorf) decide that they liked being together and didn't want to be separated. But where to go? Due to Nintendo's lack of preparation skills for after-story mode gaming, they had nowhere to crash. So who had a place big enough to support 35+ Brawl characters? Why, Meta Knight, of course! And we come to you to present the most insanely, wildly funny fanfiction you'll ever read about their day-to-day lifestyles on the Halberd.


"The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest" by Aura Channeler Chris

  • Recommended by Gamerex27, seconded by totlmstr, thirded by Lord Hyper
  • Status: Ongoing.
  • "Synopsis" This is a rather well-writen story of an OC and his Lucario leading the Smash Bros. Characters through another war with the Subspace Emissary. It is far too complicated at this point in time to describe in this small space, but it is much Better Than It Sounds

"SSBB Oneshots" by Soundwave 0107

  • Recommended by Kyrios9
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A HUGE series of connected one-shots spanning 183 chapters that shows the often insane going-ons in the Smash Mansion.
  • While the majority of the fic is comedy (gold) there are some Tearjerker moments as well. The relationships between the characters are very well done, and the writing style is excellent. Beware as it contains swearing and sexual content, though.

"Food-Mart Frenzy" by Hoverbike Girl

  • Recommended by Rick Tommy
  • Status: On hiatus
  • Synopsis: When the Melee-era Smash Brothers run out of food, they go to the newly-constructed Smash Mart to buy some. But little do they know how action-packed their little shopping trip will be, when not only do they all go their own ways, but they meet up with the Brawl newcomers and several other characters.

"Guardians Arise!" By Pit FTW

  • Recommended by Future Cam
  • Status: Ongoing, approaching completion
  • Pairings: Very minor Link/Zelda, usually played for comedy. A few canon pairings from the Smasher's home universes (Or the crack pairing of Ike/Mia) are referenced briefly.
  • Synopsis: An old enemy returns, this time ripping the souls of the Smashers away from their bodies. By taking possession of them, he hopes to take over the Smash World. 100 years later, the Smashers must turn to humans for help. But some just can't get along...That's the official summery anyway. The smashers are turned into balls of inert gas that possess selected humans called Guardians (Just...just go with it), who obtain their powers, at the expense of having a smasher in their head, ranting about life, the universe and everything, as well as occasionally taking control of their bodies. A diverse cast, compromised almost ENTIRELY of Author Avatars of various people the author knows (Tropes Are Not Bad), ranging from a teen mercenary to a pokemon to a TEN-YEAR-OLD GARDENER. Hilarity ensues, along with awesome. Much, much awesome.
