Proof that [[SturgeonsLaw the remaining 10% is worth taking a APTX-4869 for]] here:

These are recommendations made by {{troper}}s for ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' 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 [[Main/FanficRecommendations here]].

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

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage though; that goes in the discussion page.

'''Additional Note''': Due to the canon's constant {{Crossover}}s and CanonWelding with ''Manga/MagicKaito'', many stories will assume a baseline familiarity with the latter's supporting cast and MythArc.[[note]]Though WordOfGod has given vague indications that the two series aren't ''completely'' welded and the Kaitou Kid that appears in ''Conan'' is a "parallel" version.[[/note]] This page currently has no set policy, but does advise that works centered on Kaito and/or the Pandora Gem be considered for ''Magic Kaito'''s [[FanficRecs/MagicKaito page]] instead, or at least the Crossover folder below.

* Recommended by: @/{{Huilisti}}, Dame-Amaryllis, Rubber_Lotus
* Comments: One of ''the'' oldest and most prolific authors in the fandom, and a standard-setter for countless authors afterward. Capable of heartwarming fluff, hilarious [[CrackFic crack]], and bone-chilling [[DarkFic darkness]] in equal measure, with all the classic {{Shipping}}s - Shinichi x Ran, Heiji x Kazuha, Sato x Takagi - along for the ride. Check out her [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3135736/1/ Fanfic 100 compilation]] for samples of all of the above, then consider a glance at:
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5180693/1/A-Perfect-Act A Perfect Act]]'' - starts as pure endgame-fic for ''Manga/MagicKaito'', but its sequels ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5730760/1/No-Little-Plans No Little Plans]]'' and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6824966/1/Both-Dark-and-Deep Both Dark and Deep]]'' bring the ''Conan'' cast into their [[ContinuationFic post-endgame adventures]] with mystery and mayhem galore. Be warned, though: [[spoiler:some of the villains herein WouldHurtAChild... and ''then'' some.]]
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2548904/1/What-You-Wish-For What You Wish For]]'' - in which Shinichi and Ran undergo [[FreakyFridayFlip that oldest of all supernatural sitcom hijinks]]. Sadly [[DeadFic Dead]], but what's up is delightful.
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2718562/1/What-If What If?]]'' - a compendium of crack-shots that would do Marvel's [[ComicBook/WhatIf What If? #34]] proud. You'll never look at the OriginsEpisode the same way again.
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2855349/1/Voice Voice]]'' - in which Shinichi is saved from certain doom by none other than [[spoiler:the ghost of Akemi Miyano]].

* Recommended by: Rabidrabbit, Dame-Amaryllis, oceanlover4evr, Rubber_Lotus
* Comments: ''Primarily'' humor-based, which only makes her occasional forays into drama and angst so much sharper. Particularly recommended:
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5052918/1/Necklaces Necklaces]]'' - in which two thousand-odd words of nothing ''[[ScriptFic but]]'' dialogue comprise an absolutely side-splitting one-shot. Marvel as Shinichi's AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents do what they do best without their son even being on the same ''continent''.
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4675904/1/ We're Sorry]]'' - the complete antithesis of the above, in which the elder Kudos [[spoiler:find themselves at the Syndicate's mercy and find there's no depths they won't sink to to keep their son safe]].
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5704282/1/ Observations]]'' - in which Mitsuhiko becomes suspicious of Conan and Haibara and decides to go snooping. The TwistEnding [[spoiler:that his father is Anokata]] may or may not be shocking, depending on how observant you are, but it is extremely ''terrifying''.
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5944888/1/ Ten Commandments of Detective Conan]]'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Ten [[BlatantLies Very Serious]] edicts every ''Conan'' fanfic is expected to follow. Or else.
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4920185/1/Forgive Forgive]]'' and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5772327/1/Fallout Fallout]]''[[note]]Not to be confused with that other ''Fallout'' below[[/note]] - [[DarkFic Dark Fics]] in which Haibara and Ran (respectively) walk the paths of a WomanScorned and Shinichi pays the price.

* Comments: Another prolific author, particularly renowned for her psychoanalytical approach to the series (which [[FollowTheLeader countless others]] have adopted since). Opinions [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment may vary]] on how ''accurate'' her diagnoses are, but there's little doubting they raise some ''very'' interesting [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Alternate Character Interpretations]].
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3620272/1/ An Unprofessional Opinion]]'' - The fic that started it all, featuring OriginalCharacter Cade Maboroshi[[note]]reused from the author's earlier ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' work; more details [[https://ninthfeather.tumblr.com/post/132707758325/i-have-been-known-to-write-ocsspecifically here]][[/note]] psychoanalyzing Kid, Kogoro, Heiji, Hakuba, and "Conan."

* Recommended by: [=Shadewolf7=], @/{{patternleap}}, princessofthedeadsheep
* Comments: Specializes in supernatural thrillers. Shipping preferences trend toward Kaito x Shinichi, though it's usually more platonic than romantic.
** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11103320/1/Lucid-Dreams Lucid Dreams]]'' - in which 35-year-olds Kaito and Shinichi find Pandora and in exchange, gain an opportunity they never thought they'd have. Ultimately veers into [[spoiler:a Kaito x Shinichi marriage]].

** ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11628616/1/ (Not) Supernatural]]'' - in which experimental poisons and antidotes HAVE to have issues when combined. Post-series, a full-grown Shinichi survives a bullet through the lung and visibly begins healing, in full view of the Kaitou Kid Task Force. Misunderstandings and assumptions abound. Mostly humor, with eventual Kaito/Shinichi romance.

* Recommended by: Vonikay, @/RanMouri, Rubber_Lotus, bissek, kyrilu, @/EtherealZephyr, Dame-Amaryllis
* Comments: Perhaps the fandom's oldest (semi)''active'' author, with a distinctly [[Creator/TerryPratchett Pratchettian]] approach to comedy and tragedy alike. {{Shipping}} typically uses the canon ShipMates - Shinichi x Ran, Heiji x Kazuha, etc. - but [[https://backtodc.tumblr.com/ her sporadically-updated Tumblr]] demonstrates a much [[EveryoneIsGay more]] ''[[EveryoneIsBi flexible]]'' approach to things.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/3128702/chapters/6780518 When Pandora's Box Is Opened]]'' - A [[DoorStopper ninety-chapter saga]] touted as one of the most in-depth and heartwrenching takes on the FinalBattle against the Syndicate and the Pandora Gem's origins (replete with adorable romance and epic fight scenes). Not for nothing was this the first ''Conan'' fic to get [[FanFic/WhenPandorasBoxIsOpened its own page]] on this very wiki.
*** Quoth one reader: "Only read if you have a good three days to spare, because you won't be able to put this fic down."
*** Also featuring [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/3241994 a fluffy Christmas spin-off]] and prequel story ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/3178097 The First Woman in the World]]''
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5077545/1/ Psychology Revision]]'' - Not an actual fic per se, but a series of psychological profiles on major cast members (Shinichi, Kaito, Shiho, Hattori, Ran, Gin, Hakuba, and Vermouth). Unlike those of ''An Unprofessional Opinion'', these are written from a [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist]] POV - ''i.e.'' a real-life reader (and Psychology first-year) instead of an in-universe character's.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/4838657/chapters/11083178 Miracle]]'' - in which ''Conan'' is retold as a horror story, and [[KillEmAll absolutely nobody's safe]].
** ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5490626/1/ A Phantom Thief]]'' - in which a heist goes wrong, and Kaito finds his job description [[OurGhostsAreDifferent no longer figurative]]. Good thing he's ''also'' got a new ally in a certain chibi-tantei who knows more about death than anyone had ever guessed... Long story short: [[spoiler:Conan is a ghost Series/GhostWhisperer and lots of back-and-forth bodyswitching ensues]], culminating in [[spoiler:full-on Kaito x Shinichi romance]].
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20845169/chapters/49552049 A Spirit Detective]]'' - A DarkerAndEdgier SpiritualSuccessor to the above, in which the Apotoxin worked just as advertised... and [[GhostlyGoals Shinichi's ghost keeps on fighting the good fight]], with the help of a Conan Edogawa who's determined to keep mum about how ''he'' came to be. On hiatus at the moment, but planned to run a few more chapters at minimum.

* Comments: Well-known on the ''Magic Kaito'' [[FanficRecs/MagicKaito side]] for her ''Reichenbach'' series. Her ''Conan''-centric work focuses almost wholly on Amuro x Akai, with content ranging from quiet introspection to out-and-out smut. Sometimes in the same story.

** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/789137 don't let me be the last]]'' - Begins as Ran recovering from the aftermath of a bigger-than-usual case, and spins into what might be ''the'' most depressing ''Conan'' fic this troper's ever read.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/820365 Trigonometry]]'' - Snapshots of the trials and tribulations endured by the finest of Nagano's Finest. Beware of sudden angst.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/885294 10% Civil 90% War]]'' - A FusionFic, told through vignettes, tossing the ''Conan'' cast headlong into the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

* Recommended by: Dame-Amaryllis, Tsukireiko, [=PaperStars=], Purple Candlelight
* Comments: Only a handful of works so far, but radiating the care and WorldBuilding you'd typically expect from five authors. Not to be perused on a short attention span.
** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/4513149/chapters/10264935 Schrodinger's Detective]]'' - In which the KID Capture Brigade decides to investigate the bizarre disappearance of one Shinichi Kudo. Cue action, intrigue, and a lovingly-painted picture of just how ''bizarre'' Shinichi's status would look to any outsiders who actually pay attention.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5027218/chapters/11554636 Dominoes]]'' - In-progress DoorStopper SuperFic that's ''also'' quite possibly the most brutal DeconstructionFic you'll find in the fandom. You'll never look at KidHero teams, their adult mentors, ''or'' Kaito's [[YouKilledMyFather life-calling]] the same way again. Oh, and as far as {{Shipping}} goes... [[spoiler: beware ''brutal'' [[ShipSinking sinking]] of the S.S. Shinichi x Ran, with Shinichi x Kaito rising in its wake.]]
*** Now with its own [[Fanfic/{{Dominoes}} trope page]]!
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/19070863/chapters/45303283 How to Be a Double Agent 101]]'' - A unique and hilarious CrackFic that features each of the spies infiltrating the Black Organization attempting to save Conan from each other. Short, light-hearted, and a delightful twist on canon.

[[https://archiveofourown.org/users/MintChocolateLeaves/pseuds/MintChocolateLeaves/works?fandom_id=964594 MintChocolateLeaves]]
* Recommended by: Rubber_Lotus
* Comments: Self-proclaimed "villain to all fic-readers" and quite possibly the only ''Conan'' writer who can challenge Candyland in volume ''and'' versatility (do beware, though, that many of her [[AlternateUniverse AU]] stories are liable to be on hiatus). Periodically takes fic-requests on [[https://mintchocolateleaves.tumblr.com/ Tumblr]].[[note]]Which, by the way, features dozens of snippets that haven't yet made it to ''Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn''.[[/note]]
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/10494801 Cost of Freedom]]'' - Her flagship work, in which a framed-for-murder Shinichi [[YouAllMeetInACell finds himself in a a cell with Kaito Kuroba]] and slowly builds an alliance against their mutual enemies.
*** Trope page [[FanFic/CostOfFreedom in-progress here]].
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/10472610 Cipher]]'' - Collection of Shinichi x Ran vignettes, featuring flowers, baths, drunken shenanigans, PTSD, and more.
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/751764 Dysfunction-Verse]]'' - Vignettes taking Shinichi and Ran (and quite a few others) through a DysfunctionJunction lens. Mistrust, misjudgment, and general misery abound, even when it looks like [[spoiler:the aforementioned OfficialCouple is getting their Happily Ever After]].
** ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11315211 Law Unto Themselves]]'' - In which criminal mastermind Shinichi Kudo and his equally brilliant (and much more twisted) companions clash with upstanding policemen that just ''happen'' to be marked by liquor nicknames. Not the series' first MirrorUniverse fic by a long-shot, but definitely one of the most thrilling.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/84968/ Enchanted Hats]]
* Recommended by: Madhipsteraj
* Comments: A true diamond in the rough, Enchanted Hats is probably one of the best fanfic writers you've have never heard of in general. But her Detective Conan fics are where her talents truly shine, as she not only has a near perfect grasp of canon but can also successfully balance the comedy, tragedy, and general badassness that makes up the best of Detective Conan. Unfortunately, she seems to have largely retired from writing Detective Conan fanfiction with her most recent fic being last updated in 2006.
** '' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1989566/1/ Going Down]]'' - Her most famous fic, it involves Conan being both the only survivor and only witness to the perfect crime. The only problem is that Conan is comatose and thus unable to solve it himself, with the only hope being that Richard and the Moore's can understand the clues he left behind in order to bring the murderer to justice. With the perfect amount of angst and fluff as well as a great showcase of character development for the characters, this fic comes heavily recommenced.
** '' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2019978/1/ Vindicated]]'' - A DarkerAndEdgier fic, it revolves around Shinichi's life a year into living with the Mouri's interrupted by a series of events that endanger the three of them greatly, culminating in the the Black Organization getting a bead of them... And it gets worse from there. Perfectly showcasing how all of Shinichi's lies could easily result in everything going to shit, as well as showing how they could negatively effect all around him, this fic is definitely a much read, especially for those looking for a little darkness and [[DeconstructionFic deconstructionism]]. A particular sad moment is [[spoiler:the murder of Agasa]] showing that anybody can die. Unfortunately [[DeadFic left for dead]], and on a abrupt cliffhanger to boot.

[[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Dissenter/pseuds/Dissenter/works?fandom_id=964594 Dissenter]]
* Reccommended by: Madhipsteraj, Dame-Amaryllis
* Comments: A jack of all trades when it comes to fanfiction genres, his fics can go from being funny crack to heartwrenching and angsty while also almost always crossing over with ''Manga/MagicKaito.'' A more recent writer compared to the rest of the authors recommended here, his work is not without it's flaws but he certainly has talent and a capacity to create interesting ideas for stories.
** '' [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12062991/chapters/27319677 Written In Blood]]'' - So you've got this FountainOfYouth, yeah? Well... where exactly ''did'' it shed [[BodyHorror all that body mass]] Shinichi didn't need anymore? Find out in this [[{{Squick}} grisly little tale]] where SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs and Shinichi, his friends, and his admirers alike climb aboard a roller-coaster of trauma!
** '' [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11351952/chapters/25406379 When The Bough Breaks]]'' - A fic where Shinichi learns that he got [[TeenPregnancy Ran pregnant]] right after he turns into Conan, as he and the rest of cast stress over it. A really angsty fic that is nontheless also really cute and serves as a way for [[CharacterizationMarchesOn the cast to grow and deal with their dysfunctions to help poor Ran]] out while she herself is depicted [[PluckyGirl strong, badass and true to canon.]]
** '' [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11699046/chapters/26341359 Burning Bridges]]'' - Described by the writer as a [[UnusualEuphemism "Terrorist Roadtrip"]] This fic concerns the unending bond between Shinichi and Heiji as they go on a quest to destroy the Black Organization when wanted by the law. Containing both the comedy and dark subject of his other fics makes this story seem like his magnum opus and the perfect way to encapsulate his writing style in general.

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/10269081/ Ikasul]]
* Reccommended by: Madhipsteraj
* Comments: A Swiss writer who also makes their own fanart, Ikasul is a incredibly talented writer who is both crazily creative and a has a good grip on the broad canvas of emotions that writing can entail. While their English is great, it is not their first language so be mindful of any different spellings of words compared to ours. Otherwise, there is very little in the way of flaws to talk about.
** '' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13004364/1/ Forbidden affection]]'' - A rather... Odd story. This combination of humor and angst asks the question how our lovable waifu Ran Mouri would react when she subconsciously recognizes Conan as Shinichi Kudo while still believing Conan to be Conan. Thankfully not a lemon, we instead see a realistic example of how Ran would try to justify her feelings and disgust while hiding it from everybody due to the obvious shame of what she thinks she has and how her family and friends would react. You'll never guess where this story goes and I suggest you read it yourself.
** '' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13088783/1/ Steal from a thief]]'' - Their current epic, this fic involves Aoko Nakamori taking matters in her own hands and try to stop the Phantom Thief herself. However what starts out as a usual premise quickly turns into a J.J. Abrams style mystery box as shit quickly gets real FAST. Kid Heists have never been this dangerous as questions that Magic Kaito leaves unanswered are explored and teased. Features great character interaction between both casts, natural character development that progresses them in a natural way, unforseen consequences, and Aoko who is usually on the sidelines, being the adorable intelligent badass we all know her to be. I can't even leave marked spoiliers, please check this out if you haven't already as it combines what makes Detective Conan and Magic Kaito so great.

* Recommended by: Mimizuku, Dame-Amaryllis, Tsukireiko, whimsyful, eeveelutionlover2000
* Status: Dead
* Synopsis: A post-''The Raven Chaser'' story. Because ''The Raven Chaser'' opened many doors…and Kaito worries. Animeverse/Movieverse.
* Comments: This read is very, very intense. An amazing read for anyone who likes the plot segments dedicated to the Black Organization, and Shinichi/Conan's struggle against them. Has the extra credit of being extremely well researched both within canon-material as well as for outside real-world information, and of involving a large number of the adult cast alongside the more prevalently featured teenagers. WIP - and likely a dead fic. The author has written that the 14th chapter is finished, but there have been no updates either in the profile or the story, so most likely the author itself is out of contact.

** I don't think this is good enough to be here. The grammar isn't very good and there's no sense of pacing. This troper is a big fan of stories where Shinichi tells Ran the truth, but this story just doesn't have the quality of the others here.

* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: Ran Mouri is tired of the lies and evasions. She is determined to get to the truth behind her little house guest once and for all. But is she really prepared for what she may find?
* Comments:
** This is the best DC fic I have ever read. Instead of Conan telling Ran his identity, it's Ran who takes the initiative and investigates, like a true detective! It's well-written, as if this author knows exactly how it feels to be Ran and be so curious about your guest. I can't sum it up. It's just that good. —@/LoveIsWeird
** Concur. The author has an excellent grasp of the characters involved, and writes them extremely consistently with their on-screen portrayals. It resolves the FailureIsTheOnlyOption problem referenced on the Conan Headscratchers page extremely well, and as far as I'm concerned ''ought'' to be canon. If Aoyama ever comes out with the reveal himself, I can only hope it is managed half so well. —@/RobotechMaster

* Status: Dead
* Synopsis: What do you do when you find what you're looking for and the finding paints an even larger target on your back? You find a way to do the impossible. And in the right company, impossible is just an illusion.
* Comments: Two people from opposite sides join forces to take down a common enemy; a non-yaoi Shinichi-Kaito fic that handles their friendship, trials and relationship to the Black Organization rather well. Has mainly canon-ships touched within the narration, but they are not the main focus of the story.

* Synopsis: Conan already has some kind of corpse magnet power, but when Heiji is in his orbit the corpses actively come to them. From above. Witness.
* Comments: I'm sure we've all noticed that Conan Edogawa just attracts corpses. And many of us here at TV Tropes have noticed when you put Conan together with Heiji Hattori, the bodies literally start falling out of the sky. In this story, Conan and Heiji have noticed it, too. As they try (and fail) to find a way to hang out ''without'' dealing with dead bodies dropping in, the incidents slowly start escalating. A delightful one-shot that is definitely worth your time if you're interested in a good laugh.

* Synopsis: So many in the Detective Conan universe have secrets. What is Hattori Heiji's?
* Comments: The first story in the excellent "Chounoryouku Hattori Heiji" series. [[NarratingTheObvious Heiji-centric]], although Conan features prominently in the first two stories. There are three, each well written, with mysteries(!) and everything. Some cannon couples, especially in the final story, but not to the point where romance becomes the focus. They are basically speculative fiction with Heiji's character- IE, given an odd power, what will Heiji do, and how will it change him. Well, I say that, but then take that thought exercise and turn it into a full multi-chapter story, or three, with interesting plot-lines and well written characterization. Also, as I mentioned earlier, the actual mysteries are good as well, something that is sometimes oddly hard to find in DC fan-fiction.

* Synopsis: A rather disturbed woman shows up at the detective agency mistaking Conan as her long lost son. Unable to accept any other reason, she ends up kidnapping and imprisoning him. Can Conan escape from this insane woman?
* Comments: While the author initially struggles with whether or not to include GratuitousJapanese and never actually manages to handle it, the rest of the story is well done and feels like it could fit into the world of the series. Also the author handles the characters and their relationships well. Well worth a read.

** Can't be seconded enough. This troper would like to add that they almost wish all three of these stories were canon with the way interactions and revelations occur between the cast even in the midst of the main mystery cases. This is the kind of stuff much needed in series proper.

* Comments: Bodyswap fics are a bit dime-a-dozen in the fic world but this one deserves a rec for taking things a step further than most by actively using the concept as a vehicle for inducing various cast interactions, and even touching on canon plot points in the process.

* Comments: This a wonderful long fic, with a full-blown mystery in which the Detective Boys revive the club, as well as their continuing friendship, with each of them having a role to play in the solution. It ends in a truly nail-biting finish. If Conan never got back to being Shinichi, this could honestly be one of the movies. The authour also gets points for a mystery geared towards English readers, as well as showing Ai being Conan's partner in crime and romance in a way we haven't seen Ran capable of or willing to do (as yet).

* Comments: A Swiss writer who also makes their own fanart, Ikasul is a incredibly talented writer who is both crazily creative and a has a good grip on the broad canvas of emotions that writing can entail. While their english is great, it is not their first language so be mindful of any different spellings of words compared to ours. Otherwise, there is very little in the way of flaws to talk about.

* Comments: This a wonderful long fic, with a full-blown mystery in which the Detective Boys revive the club, as well as their continuing friendship, with each of them having a role to play in the solution. It ends in a truly nail-biting finish. If Conan never got back to being Shinichi, this could honestly be one of the movies. The authour also gets points for a mystery geared towards english readers, as well as showing Ai being Conan's partner in crime and romance in a way we haven't seen Ran capable of or willing to do (as yet).

** '' [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12062991/chapters/27319677 Written In Blood]]'' - So you've got this FountainOfYouth, yeah? Well... where exactly ''did'' it shed [[BodyHorror all that body mass]] Shinichi didn't need anymore? Find out in this [[{{Squick}} grisly little tale]] where RealityEnsues and Shinichi, his friends, and his admirers alike climb aboard a roller-coaster of trauma!

* Pairing: Shiho/Shinichi (though it takes them quite awhile to get there)
* Comments: over 28 chapters, you see a complex mystery, an intriguing portrayal of the even more complex Shiho Miyano, and an interesting look at Shinichi Kudo: what drew Shiho and Ran to him in the first place, why they both walked away from him, and why Shiho, in the end, decides he's worth the risk of her heart.

* Synopsis: "Sherlock. There is a child on our couch." Well. That wasn't the strangest thing Shinichi had ever woken up to hear, but it was definitely up there. He was going to need a lot of coffee today. Or: Shinichi somehow ends up staying with Sherlock Holmes while solving mysteries, like how he got there in the first place, all while trying to keep his identity secret.

* Status: complete
* Synopsis: "I think it raises more questions than it answers." "Such as what?" "Why send a card? Why does it tell you when the murders will take place? Why Edgar Allen Poe?"
* Pairings: established Conan/Ai, though it's very much a B or even C plot to the mystery.
* Comments: In the same continuity as ''September Summers''. This a wonderful long fic, with a full-blown mystery in which the Detective Boys revive the club, as well as their continuing friendship, with each of them having a role to play in the solution. It ends in a truly nail-biting finish. If Conan never got back to being Shinichi, this could honestly be one of the movies. The authour also gets points for a mystery geared towards english readers, as well as showing Ai being Conan's partner in crime and romance in a way we haven't seen Ran capable of or willing to do (as yet).

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9705911/1/ September Summers]]'' by Hikari-chan

* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: Sometimes, one decision can change your whole outlook on life. Post the takedown of the Organisation, Conan learns to grow up a second time... and discovers what really matters in life.
* Pairings: Ultimately Conan/Ai, minor Ran/Shinichi and Ran/Other, unrequited Conan/Ayumi
* Comments: In the general section because it mainly focuses on how life differs for Conan growing up, in contrast to Shinichi growing up. One of the few fics out there that deals with the Detective Boys growing up and how they keep their friendship going once they're more than a bunch of kids in search of mysteries to solve. Also shows that Ran's capable of a happy ending even without Shinichi coming back.
