History FanFicRecs / MegaMan

* ''Comments'': This is one of my all-time favorite ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' fanfictions for a very good reason. All of the characters are kept in character, that is until the development kicks in: Forte(Bass) starts off absolutely despising Netto(Lan) for the first couple of chapters before he starts getting used to the human who's wearing his skin and eventually even becomes his friend. Netto himself shows bouts of genius throughout the story, in fact, he seems smarter in general! What is also so interesting about this story is that it combines the plot elements of the games, anime, and manga to create a world where CrossFusion is possible, and Forte has a grudge against his "father" Dr. Cossack, who wants to fix what went horribly wrong that fateful day many years ago. One of my favorite sub-plots is Enzan trying to prove that Forte is aware of where Netto is, and eventually trying to prove that Forte IS Netto.
** theSnazz: Unfortunately shows signs of becoming a DeadFic, but what is there is absolutely incredible.

* ''Status'': Ongoing

** [[{{Tropers/MugenKagemaru}} Mugen Kagemaru]]: Very deep, indeed, Calahad. Very tragic, with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments Crowning Moments Of Awesome]] here and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming]] there. It also seeps into a trilogy Erico wrote that is set between X4 and X5, namely the backstories of two [=OCs=] Eric introduced, as well as possible sequels to the third original story.

* ''Synopsis'': A series of genfics spanning many episodic adventures in Mega Man's life, including a few novelizations of the games. It's hard to explain the whole thing as a whole -- plots from the different "books" include Mega Man switching bodies with Dr. Wily, a raygun that turns Mega Man into a coward afraid of his own shadow, and a {{crossover}} with SonicTheHedgehog. I'm no good at writing synopses, but it really is worth a look.

* Synopsis: The collective name for the Mega Man fan fiction of Eric Lawson and the common continuity that it shares. Many elements are based on FanFic/RockmanTheRobotWar, which the author cites as one of his major inspirations. Stories are set withing the various series, and while each have different characters and settings, recurring themes throughout the work deal with robotic sentience, the effects of it on the populace, HumansAreTheRealMonsters, and the stress and heartache of war.

* Synopsis: Oneshots can range from fluff to drama, while the longer stories tend to be tearjerkers of the highest caliber, generally focusing on the whys, wheres, and hows of the cast and their stories as well as filling in details canon doesn't. They've also written [=AUs=].

* ''Synopsis'': A ficlet set shortly before the events of ZX. Giro reminisces about his past and Prarie gets him a birthday present.

* ''Recommended by'': Lalalei2001

* ''Comments'': Wow. Just wow. Everything about this is timed ''perfectly'', from the attacks to the dialogue to everything. X and Zero are evenly matched, which makes it very exciting to watch. The Ride Armor part is especially nifty, as is the part where they crash into the final room and the WARNING sound blares as the Dr. Wily W shows up in the background. - Lalalei2001

* ''Comments'': This is perhaps the best fandub in Mega Man Series ever. Perfect editing, inserted remastered music and the voice cast are nearly on [[FUNimation FUNimation level]] especially Ciel's voice who sounded like [[Creator/CristinaValenzuela Cristina Vee]] or maybe [[CarrieSavage Carrie Savage]]

* ''Comments'': Although primarily a shipping fic, the story is written in a [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness professional]] and extremely [[ScheduleSlip thoughtful]] manner to such a degree that the entire cast acts both realistically and true to canon. Mostly taking place in both the present and as flash backs in Elysium from Mega Man Trigger's POV. Even while the Elysium flash backs are effectively Traingham's own creation, the entire city and all of it's occupants are crafted carefully. All the while making use of the usual Expy Overload that takes place in the Mega Man Series. Naturally opinions [[CrackPairing on the]] [[FoeYay parings]] may differ from reader to reader but the writer's prose makes it a much easier pill to swallow. Overall? It's not Legends 3 but it's damn close.

* ''Synopsis'':The Maverick Hunters fight a force unlike any seen before. Led by the charismatic and idealistic Maverick Marduk, the RLF stand to challenge all that X believes in as they search for Unity; the era in which reploids and humans stand as one.
* ''Comments'':This is hands down the best X-series story in any medium. Get ready for an epic story that touches on everything from the racism between the humans and the roids, the political corruption of the 21XX government, and the most epic take on X3's [[YouCantFightFate prophetic warning concerning X and Zero]] I have ever read. Remember how the stages of every maverick base have complicated structures that make sense for a video game challenge but make no sense concerning realistic fortress design? This story explains why this is the case. This thing has quite a few original characters all of which are fully developed. The Mavericks in this story do more than just create fight scenes. Several of them Challenge X's Ideas at every turn. A heinous villain challenges X's mercy. A [[SaintlyChurch religious maverick]] challenges him spiritually and on the equality of humans and reploids under God. Another maverick challenges him with the abuse of free will. The rebellion mastermind challenges him on the fundamental relationship between humans and reploids and what is necessary for unity. This story is slightly AU, but every change is at the very least necessary and at the most actually better.Everyone is in character. Zero is cold, but not a jerk. Axl is still the trigger happy wannabee kid we know and love. The theme of evolution is taken to new heights in this story. But perhaps one of the greatest accomplishments of this story is the portrayal of X himself. Fans cried bloody murder over X's uber pacifism in X7 and some were turned off by his 180 aggressive attitude in CM, but this is X as he was meant to be portrayed: the perfect warrior who hates war, an [[http://www.badassoftheweek.com/york.html Alvin York]] who hates being the death of his enemies and would like nothing more than to see everyone beat their swords into plowshares, but when push comes to shove, boy will he push back!! The final battle of this story speaks to the character of X in a way I have not seen before or since.

* ''Comments'': My very favorite Mega Man fanfic, very well-written ''and'' it does a good job of reversing Zero's death in a fairly believable fashion... [[RuleOfCool not that you should care either way]]. Two things of note, however: first, this fic uses an alternate ZX continuity where Vent and Aile -- siblings here -- are ''both'' the Mega Men of the Z, X, and ZX biometals, but the author hasn't written out his alternate ZX and ZX Advent storylines with this alteration, mostly because he says the story wouldn't be different enough to justify the work involved. Second, Model H/Harpuia is significantly OOC and has turned into a WellIntentionedExtremist. His reasons for this are believable and fairly well-handled, but it deserves a warning nonetheless.

* ''Comments'': "A novelization", you might be thinking. "So what?" It certainly ''starts'' reading like one, but several chapters in we start going down a slightly altered path. The Biometals become more than just plot devices. The Guardians, in particular Prairie and Cedre, get chances to shine. The doses of awesome become more and more frequent the farther in we get, particularly from [[spoiler:Zero]]. In short, the story frequently expands on the game's plot in ways that catch the reader off-guard, and still comes off the better for it.

* Recommended by Tropers/DecafGrub47393
* ''Synopsis'': While the plot is identical to Mega Man 4, everything else has been changed, including the weapons you receive from Mega Man 4's robot masters.
* ''Comments'': This story takes the weakest of the NES Mega Man games and turns it into something entirely new and different. The ASM has to be played to be believed. [[VideoGame/Rockman4MinusInfinity Has a trope page]].

* ''Comments'': The first of a series covering X4 through 7 (as well as Z1), [[FunWithAcronyms "M"adness "A"ttacking "T"he "H"ead "S"lowly]] is a three-fourths parody one-fourth serious novelization of the games that never fails to remind the reader that the main characters are machines. While {{MATHS}} is more parody than serious, the sequels eventually get the correct balance down, with perhaps the best example being the X7 Parody's chaper on Blazing Hyenard.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[EveryoneIsGay homosexual]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* Recommended by: readrunners
* Status: Completed
* Pairings: hint of Blues/Kalinka
* Synopsis: Dr. Light has been murdered, and Rock and Roll are missing. After a chance encounter with Blues, a journalist with a personal connection to Dr. Light takes a journey to Siberia to uncover the truth. She finds more than she bargained for. A somewhat AU bridge between the Classic and X series.
* Comments : Interesting take on the 'cataclysm' event with a twist, and excellent, realistic characterization for the main characters. This fic is viewed from OC's perspective as she uncovered the truth about Light's project.
