Exactly what it says in the title. What are fanfics that you enjoy and would recommend to others?

There's a few RWBY crossovers that I would like to recommend. Two are ongoing and can be found only on FF.net. The last one is complete and can be found on both FF.net and Ao3.

The first story is a RWBY/Marvel crossover called Earth's Mightiest Huntsmen by Guest 1138:


The premise is that Ultron has invaded Remnant, and while the inhabitants have been putting up heavy resistance, the planet is falling. In the midst of the conflict, Teams RWBY and JNPR encounter Ultron and, despite their best efforts, are defeated by him. However, a final defiant act by Ruby results in both teams being transported off Remnant and scattered across the Marvel universe.

The second fic I would like to recommend is a RWBY/Warhammer 40K crossover called Saint Summer the Huntress by Korykr:


The premise is that after her death while fighting Salem, Summer Rose finds herself in the Warp, where she discovers that daemons are real. After a series of events that result in her becoming a living saint and meeting Celestine, she emerges from the Warp on Cadia one day before the fall.

The last fic is a RWBY/Battletech/Mechwarrior crossover called Rose's Rowdies by Bryon Nightshade. It's already completed, but it's still a fun read:


This one's different from the others in that it's an AU crossover. By that, I mean that the RWBY characters in the story are not the ones from Remnant— in fact, Remnant doesn't even exist in this story. These are versions of the characters that were born in the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe. And in the interest of full disclosure, I tend to be partial to AU crossovers like this.

Essentially Team RWBY are reimagined as a single-lance mercenary outfit who have very high ethical standards that dictate what jobs they take. Consequently, jobs tend to be rare and they tend to go hungry more often than not. But their next job turns out to be a real surprise: Comstar wants to hire them for a mission that could determine the fate of the Inner Sphere.

If anyone else has stories that they enjoy and want to recommend, feel free to do so.
 
Nearly everything by dogbertcarroll on ff net, they don't often complete stories sadly enough but they're almost always good. One of the few that is completed, a Buffy Vampire Slayer fic called "I wouldn't exactly call that sitting" is my favorite Buffy fic, it's got it all, it's meta being about Xander and Dawn unwittingly being watched on TV as they try to solve a case of the zombies, it's got action- zombies, bounty hunters, and so on, it's got twists, it's got a fight between biker gangs against vampires and the most unexpected but somehow fitting surprise crossover, and there's romance- it's a Dawn and Xander fic so of course there is.
 
I have a ton that survived my high standards. Here are the cream that I still remember after 10 years of reading popcorn writing.

Every author here is excellent, and probably has more great stories on their profile, so check them out!

Btw, I'm going to avoid anything recent on QQ.

Since you like RWBY multicross:

RWBY gets inserted in tamriel. Great writing and interesting plot.

Here is the best Overlord fic I ever read:
Where we follow four girls as they deal with the political climate in the Sorcerous kingdom, as noble leaders. It mainly deals with geopolitics, economics, sociology, and a badass mc who kills stuff good.

A classic among Tanya the Evil fics:

Where Tanya becomes supreme leader post war. Again, typical tanya politics and economics.

Best ASOIAF I ever read, bar none:

Timeloop prince Joffrey, who aims to end the Others. Along the way, he learns from the different cultures of planetos, and speaks to different people with other worldviews from his own. Skip the prologue, its bad and has no connection to the rest of the fic. It's long, but worth it. Also great bgm, I read chapters and it feels like fever dreams, later on in the fic. Hella immersive 10/10.

The only UnOrdinary fic I found:

Really digs in into the sociology and psychology of the UnOrdinary world. Great work!


One of the best Inspired Inventor fics, in ST:Voyager:

We follow the head of security aka not so secret super scary agent, as he manhandles the plot back to sanity.


Good warcraft si into a spider dude:

Follow spiderboi as he attempts to subvert his species' fate of annihilation.


One of the best Cyberpunk fics I read:

Taylor gets retconned into cyberpunk with inspired (i think?), sets some things on fire. Like everything that I like, it has plenty of geopolitics and machinations afoot.


Here's si into Azula's older sister:

Politics, schemes and other. It's good!


Missy MC has knight friends:

Missy gets adopted.

I really like this Worm AU fanfiction. Roughly speaking, there are not only superpowers in the world, but also something else more strange. The best 2 million words I've ever read, plus I really like the way the author described the characters and came up with new things.
