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.

Land Before Time: Twilight Valley by Jakayrta (Borders, or even enters, into Canon Defilement)

  • Recommended by Dialga
  • Synopsis: The Stone of Cold Fire lands in Great Valley and hurls it into a war unlike anything they have ever seen. Things are only worsened when an old enemy of Littlefoot finds the Great Valley.
  • Comments: Believe me, this version of The Land Before Time is not family friendly. Ever see Cera and Littlefoot curse or Ducky take a tree branch to an enemy dinosaur's head? Granted, they seem to be approximately the equivalent of an 18 year old human. Even so, it is a very unusual take on the Land Before Time series.

Land Before Time: The Mysterious World by Threehorn

  • Recommended by Dialga
  • Synopsis: A boy from England (circa 2097) gets caught up in an evil plot and ends up being teleported into the past. He meets the Gang (Only characters from the sequels appear). Together they must defeat this menace.
  • Comments: In one sentence: post apocalyptic science fiction meets Land Before Time

A Jedi's Destiny by

  • Recommended by Enterprise
  • Synopsis:
  • Comments: A Star Wars/Land Before Time crossover that is considered to be fairly well-liked among fanfic communities despite its crossover nature.

Battle of the Sacred Essences by Thunderblade

  • Recommended by Enterprise
  • Synopsis:
  • Comments: Battle of the Sacred Essences is a 428-page long fanfic that is quite simply one of the greatest crossovers out there. Its sequel is also quickly becoming a hit.

Out of the Shadows by Dark Hououmon

  • Recommended by Dialga X
  • Synopsis: When the mind of a single individual is corrupted by a twisted fiend, a series of bizarre events unfold that no one could stop.
  • Comments: A note of caution, this story is rated R for a reason. It's intensely violent and very bloody. Oh yeah, it takes place in a Crapsack World.

Time of Great Need by karkovice.

  • Recommended by Ironic Mouse
  • Synopsis: Set many years after the movies' settings, Little Foot and the gang have grown up. Grandpa Longneck has long since passed on, leaving Little Foot, or Lesik as he's called now, in charge of the Great Valley. The story kicks off with a now grown-up Chomper returning to the valley. Upon reuniting with his old friends, he explains that the Sharptooth lands are being ravaged by a devastating sickness. Little Foot and the gang resolve to help their old friend and depart for the Sharptooth lands.
  • Sequels: Cera's Mysterious Sickness, An Unusual Pairing, Forbidden Mating
  • Tags: Expanded Universe, Interspecies Romance, Darker and Edgier
  • Pairings: Little Foot/Allie, Petrie/Ducky, Cera/OC, Chomper/OC, OC/OC
  • Comments: By this point, the whole Fantastic Racism in the franchise has been done to death, but karkovice somehow manages to make it feel fresh and new again. Much of the series focuses on Little Foot as he tries to be a fair leader in a changing world. In the first story, the dinosaurs of the Great Valley (and the readers as well) learn that the Sharpteeth are not a bunch of mindless, Chaotic Evil creatures. They have a culture, feelings, and families, just like the Leaf Eaters, and a lot of drama comes from the long held prejudices against Sharpteeth that permeate the valley. In the second, Cera develops PTSD, after the ordeal in the Sharpteeth lands, and must rely on her friends to help her cope. In the third, Ducky and Petrie become mates (followed by Cera's young cousin and Chomper's son in the fourth), and they must deal with the prejudice and hatred that follow. Occasionally, karkovice will launch into Purple Prose, but overall, the stories are well-written, and the characters are well-developed.
  • The above link is the "revised" version. The original version has disappeared.


The Land Before Time: the Return of Sharptooth by Red Eyes Black Dragon Master

  • Recommended by The Dark Trex
  • Synopsis: Exactly What It Says on the Tin, the Sharptooth from the first movie comes back to get his revenge on Littlefoot and the gang for almost killing him. Doc takes Littlefoot to train him to fight, and Sharptooth takes Chomper in pursuit while teaching him how to be a vicious killer. Features character death and backstory. And Sharptooth happens to be the same one Doc fought as the Lone Dinosaur in the old legends.


A Sharptooth's Heart by Sora WTK

  • Recommended by Bluedramon
  • Synopsis: When a deadly instinct is manifested inside the body of a once carefree dinosaur of unknown origin, a velociraptor, blinded by anger, will stop at nothing to get revenge...
  • Comments: One of the best "Not all sharpteeth are bad" fanfics. This fanfic has its own page: A Sharptooth's Heart


A Sharptooth's Heart II by Sora WTK

  • Recommended by Bluedramon
  • Synopsis: One year after his previous adventure, Rex finds himself involved in a war for the fate of the Great Valley. And being part of the fight will answer Rex's question of who he really is and more...
  • Comments: The sequel to A Sharptooth's Heart, it continues one year after the end of the original.
