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.

Path of Decision by lulu42 (contains mild violence.)

• Recommended by Fenro
• Pairing(s): none
• Synopsis: Voldemort is in power, but the Wizarding World fights back. Harry Potter, Master of Death, is faced with a choice, move forward or change everything?
• Comments: This story is a crossover with Harry Potter. The plot is very intriguing, but there is a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. This story is complete.
  • This Troper disagrees. I found it largely unengaging and dull.

Reflections by vongroovy

• Recommended by Solandra
• Synopsis: Delight and Delirium have a meeting and a conversation.
• Comments: Perfectly captures Delirium, her unique voice, and the right amount of melancholy mixed in with her eccentricity. Leaves a surprisingly bittersweet taste in your mouth in spite of the happy-ish ending.

Small Fish by Fay

• Recommended by Kaza 999
• Synopsis: Death and the second Dream meet in Death's house, and talk.
• Comments: Told from Death's point of view, it captures the flavor of the original comics very well.

Shipping Fics

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Come Sweet Death by Finn Solomon

• Recommended by ultimomant
• Pairings: Death/OC
• Synopsis: When Jamie Keane dies, he does something unprecedented. He volunteers to be Death's assistant and companion.
• Comments: The wonder of Death's job is captured perfectly, as Jamie learns how all life is precious.
