* Comments: AU, mostly. Good enough that if the names of the characters were changed, it would be worth publishing. Actually, she's realized this and has been rewriting many of her stories and shopping them to a publisher. I don't think that ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4043533/1/ Girls Just Wanna Have Fun]'' is on the list of those that are to be remade with non-''Twilight'' characters, though, so you should ''definitely'' check that one out--it's ''really'' good.

** [[brittanyw]] here to second the rec of ''Cowboys and Indians''. It's thoughtful, well-told, very different from the norm in the ''Twilight'' fandom, and frankly in ''any'' fandom, and features the best of odd friendships (Jasper and Leah). It makes those otherwise flat characters into fully formed people.
*** Agreed. I read and liked Cowboys and Indians a lot. However, the link appears to be broken, as far as I can tell.

* Comments: Anti-Twilight writer of considerable talent, all one-shots thus far. Deals with the darker themes of the series. Stories include ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4567400/1/Seven Seven]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4942443/1/Eighteen Eighteen]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4568670/1/Chagrin Chagrin]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5086147/1/Imprisoned Imprisoned]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5535920/1/He_Was_A_Quiet_Man He Was A Quiet Man]'', and the most recent ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5642334/1/Daughter Daughter]''.

** ''Eighteen'' seconded by Peteman. While ''Seven'' is definitely worth a look, ''Eighteen'' I find is even better, especially given Renesmee's rather eloquent internal monologue about child grooming and just what she thinks of Jacob regarding it.
** Just throwing in a trigger warning for ''Seven.'' As stated above, it's dark stuff.
** Doctor U. N. Owen would like to point out that ''Seven'' has over ''130 reviews''. And it's a ''one-shot''.
** The Revanchist would also like to point out that ''Chagrin'' is actually a parody. Bloody brilliant one, too. It currently has 212 reviews.
** [[Lady Lurker]] would like to add that ''He Was A Quiet Man'' is her favourite. Estora beautifully reveals the strained relationship between Bella and Charlie from Charlie's POV, and really makes the reader thing about how poorly he was treated in the books. That story almost moved this troper to tears.
** [[Little Miss Sophie]] truly felt afraid for Nessie in 'Seven', and loved her in 'Eighteen'. Yes. As an Anti, this troper would like to say that she wanted to take Nessie away from all the madness of her twisted, twisted family.
** [[Kereea]] would like to point out that ''Daughter'' should not be missed either. Rene's new husband is exceptionally critical of Bella, sort of showing what an "average outsider" would think of her, and the entire work is clearly painting Bella as a sociopath...at best.

* Comments: Probably the best Jacob/Leah writer I've ever read but the stories aren't just about the romance. Several of them aren't even from the point of view of the couple and all of them deal with some of the glossed-over issues of imprinting, particularly on an infant. ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4634442/1/She_Hates_Me She Hates Me]'', for instance, in an epic dealing with Renesme's life from seven to seventeen (or four to seven as the case may be) and "Nessie figuring some human truths. Growing up is not easy. People are complex. We all make mistakes. And it really sucks when ''his'' best friend is a girl."

* Synopsis: What the fifth twilight book could be like. The volturi are still upset about "losing" to the Cullens over the Renesmee conflict in Breaking Dawn, so they devise a plan to kill them all. WARNING: contains violence, character deaths etc.
* Comments: If you were disappointed by the battle that never happened in Breaking Dawn, this is the story for you. Whether or not it's an alternate universe fic, and a [[Dark Fic]]. Also, it's one of the few stories out there where the [[Original Character]] is NOT a [[Mary Sue]].

* Recommended by Racheakt, [[Halinmonk]], Ximei, Reason
* Pairing(s): Bree/Alec, Edward/Bella (Not really a romance as-of-yet)
* Synopsis: An alternate take on what could have been if Eclipse ended a little differently for Bree Tanner and what she might have done with her new lease on life. Features the Cullens, the Volturi, the La Push Pack and many other favorites from the Twilight Saga.
* Comments: A great look at Twilight, from a fresh perspective, particularly if you're a die-hard shipper of the Edward/Jacob/Bella wars who just wants some peace and quiet. (Edward/Bella is mentioned only briefly, before the story leaves it largely in the dust.)
* Halinmonk: Agreed, there is some Narm here and there but it clears up fast and if you can enjoy the [[Tear Jerker|TearJerkers]] and [[Crowning Moments of Heartwarming]] then there is a lot of awesome to go around. In my personal opinion: [[Made of Win]]. Also has its own page now, in need of [[Wiki Magic]]: [[The Not So Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (Fanfic)|The Not So Short Second Life of Bree Tanner]]
* Reason: Your Mileage May Vary, since the grammar certainly leaves something to be desired, but if you don't mind editing it in your head, the actual content is good.

* Comments: Aeshna Lacrymosa's take on the “Bree-gets-adopted-by-the-Cullens” scenario explores the character of Carlisle in his fierce paternal devotion as well as the “lore” on Children of the Moon, although the story never shows Twilight’s “true” werewolves in action. Still, the plot moves through characters’ emotions and motivations, particularly Carlisle’s. The ending is heartbreaking, but with pleasant surprises at the last minute.

* ''Synopsis'': In the spirit of [[Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality (Fanfic)|Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality]], a very different Bella Swan moves into Forks, and discovers there's something strange about a certain family...
* ''Comments'': It's much more subdued than Methods of Rationality, because the world (as opposed to the characters) of the Twilight series isn't as easy to mock as the Harry Potter universe is, but it's still a nice example of "doing rationality to" a book series with, shall we say, "issues".

** Very much recommended. The natural conclusion is that Luminosity/Radiance is actually the original work, and Twilight is bad fanfiction that just happened to be published first.
** The fic is compelling but loses appeal the further you get along in the story. I personally found this version of Bella just as irritating as canon, particularly more away from interacting with the Cullens.

* ''Comments'': Bella moves to Forks a semester before she does in the books and before Edward arrives so she gets a chance to get to know Jacob first. There was just so many times while reading this story that one of the things in the book that drove me crazy is completely subverted and the characters make intelligent choices. What's more, Bella? She actually cares about non-mythological creatures!
** Lemia: Seconded. What really sold this fic for me was how it ''didn't'' bash Edward and the rest of the Cullens but put in the effort to make them well-rounded and likable characters too so it felt less like a generic "Twilight sucks and we're going to bash it all over the place" fic and more like a fully developed story in its own right that not only gives Bella a likable personality and a believable romance with Jacob but also creates just as fully formed and heartwarming relationships between them and the Cullens. Highly recommended.

Also, Caden himself is not written as a Mary Sue on his own, which was my biggest fear going into this.

Will she be able to remain professional, or will old ties get in the way? Can Ms Swan be seduced?

* Pairing(s): Embry/OC, all other canon, promises of Charlie/OC later and Leah.
* Comments: The OC is a bit of a jerkass to Embry at first. The canon characters are mostly IC, though the author (who seems to hate the vampires with 2 exceptions) has an interesting view on Nessie. The OC could be any 16-22 year old who finds out they’re involved in a supernatural world. The reviewers like her. And the author has decent snark skills for someone whose about 16. There are some holes in the story but is a first attempt and decently done at that.
** It's an interesting idea to react badly to the thought of being forced to be with this guy you just met (or re-met in her case) but the writing gets near-hysterical at times and it really seems like she's just going to end up with him anyway so it's more of a 'playing hard to get' kind of story than a 'I will not let myself be fated to be with someone' kind of story which is what I thought it would be from the description.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Twilight fanfics, 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.

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.

  • Comments: AU, mostly. Good enough that if the names of the characters were changed, it would be worth publishing. Actually, she's realized this and has been rewriting many of her stories and shopping them to a publisher. I don't think that Girls Just Wanna Have Fun is on the list of those that are to be remade with non-Twilight characters, though, so you should definitely check that one out—it's really good.

HM Grayson

  • Recommended by Sarah 1281
  • Comments: Probably the best Jacob/Leah writer I've ever read but the stories aren't just about the romance. Several of them aren't even from the point of view of the couple and all of them deal with some of the glossed-over issues of imprinting, particularly on an infant. She Hates Me, for instance, in an epic dealing with Renesme's life from seven to seventeen (or four to seven as the case may be) and "Nessie figuring some human truths. Growing up is not easy. People are complex. We all make mistakes. And it really sucks when his best friend is a girl."

Kyilliki

  • Recommended by: mollypop23
  • Comments: The best Volturi writer I've ever read. The vocabulary she puts into her stories are just incredible and her writing style keeps you reading for more. Her fics tend to prove that the Volturi wives aren't just Strangled by the Red String and have a real romance which is hidden within the walls(A Thousand Stairs). She also wrote two angsty AU's for Breaking Dawn (A Fractured Sort of Forever and Finitum) which left me wondering which ending was the real one.

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.

  • Recommended by Racheakt
  • Pairing(s): Bree/Alec, Edward/Bella (Not really a romance as-of-yet)
  • Synopsis: The Volturi is the only life Alec has known, Jane is the one person he ever loved and control is the definition of his being. Too bad Alec might not know himself as well as he thinks... - A teenage love story 350 years in the making.
  • Comments: Companion piece to The Not So Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.

Bree Cullen, My Daughter by [1]

  • Recommended by jusk8lp

Vampires Will Never Hurt You by zzzzz

Didyme's Ashes by 1m4n

  • Recommended by Inkblot
  • Synopsis: A one-shot retelling of Didyme's death at the hands of Aro, which S Meyer discussed but was never shown in Twilight.
  • Comments: Possibly the best retelling of Didyme's story out there.

The Golden Mean by ophelietta

  • Recommended by cellardoor
  • Synopsis: "Bella walks down yet another road not taken." AU.
  • Comments: ophelietta writes a lot of good gen and Jacob/Bella fic, and I think this is one of her best. It really shows Bella growing as a character and making choices as an adult.

Your Call by SteneMichele

  • Recommended by Twiddler
  • Synopsis: A take on the phone-call between Bella and Rosalie in Breaking Dawn.

Four Square, by Joyful

  • Recommended by Zadia
  • Synopsis: Buffy and Dawn move to Forks and become a part of an entirely new supernatural world.
  • Comments: A very long (72 chapters and counting) work-in-progress that's a crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's incredibly well-written and fun to read.

Freedom Triumphs by habeshaforever

  • Synopsis: Leah confronts Emily on the flaws of Imprinting. Emily POV. Oneshot.
  • A story for the Leah-lovers, the Imprinting-haters, and all the feminists who felt offended by Twilight. Leah's criticisms of Emily sound like any that could have been leveled at Bella. It also looks at how Imprinting might affect the Imprint-ee. Specifically in how almost every retort of Emily's is the same thing: "Sam loves me.

The Most Popular Book in the Whole World (and sequels) by Jessica Wagstrom

  • Recommended by Kaza999
  • Synopsis: A parody of the entire Twilight series. We follow the adventures of Friggin' Gorgeous, called Frig, and her space alien boyfriend Xlormp. It really must be read to be believed.
