--> '''Zidane:''' Oh really? Hehehe. Hardly surprising. All the girls talk about Zidane.

--> '''Zidane:''' Or my dashing good looks.
--> '''Garnet:''' Or your childish sense of humor.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for {{Fan Fic}}s, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

** Seconded recommendation. The author clearly knew both works inside and out, and both have OriginalFlavor in droves; FF9 segments feel like FF9, HP sefments feel like HP. --{{Grandy}}

* ''Synopsis'' : This story takes place immediately after the ending of ff9. Everything seems to be going perfectly, but the events that took place in the fight against Kuja have broken the seal on the gateway to the Underworld. What fiends and new threats await within? will our heroes be able to close the gateway, or will all of Gaia be lost?

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

* ''Comments'': A SliceOfLife AdaptationExpansion that focuses on Zidane and Garnet's relationship, set against the backdrop of the canon storyline. Doesn't really have much of a plot, but it does have 300% of your daily recommended [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} fluff]] intake (where appropriate; some of the chapters take place during Garnet's HeroicBSOD, and those are a bit more angsty). Also gets big points for ''nailing'' Zidane's LovableRogue / HandsomeLech personality; the back-and-forth banter between him and Garnet is probably the most entertaining part of this story.

* ''Comments'' : Written by legendary FF9 writer Guardian1, this is a tearjerker right from the start, beginning with a beloved character's death. Won't spoil much, but such a risky movie begins one of the saddest stories ever... that manages to be funny, a mix of dark humor, dork humor and plain dark. There's also romance, Freya/Amarant works as a couple and they have their funny and heartwarming moments. A tale of a tale of grief, acceptance, emancipation... And it's unfinished circa 2008, sorry. I do wish it got a proper ending, but still a good reading. I love Gudrun (or 'Grunty' as referred to by the author), her relationship between both Fratley and Amarant is between wholesome and crude. Contains (as mentioned in the beginning) a major character death, a bit of violence that might scare young viewers and it is filled with a landscape of swearing, but that's the author's style and charm, you get used to it (or maybe not).

* ''Comments'' : I read this story back in 2017-2018. I was in eight, ninth grade when I read this one. It's one of the main Final Fantasy IX fics that I liked a lot and inspired me to write my own stuff, but moving on... A chilling post-game story revolving around politics, corruption, lies, betrayal, love and drama in a very soap opera way mixed with Game of Thrones. There are some heartwarming moments between the raw, gut wrenching writing filled with cynicism and hopelessness. The calm before the storm, I'd say. Action scenes are wonderfully done, the game's lore mixes well with the author's own, so do the old and new characters. Story is rated Teen, though there are some disturbing and graphic scenes, and a bit of swearing too. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy medieval-like stories.

* ''Comments'' : A moving story whose main focuse is, as the author says in the first note, 'the loose ends not tied up that do not sit right with me.' The writing is at times flowery and poetic, shifting to raw and crude deciptions of violence, be it emotional or physical. We get to dwell into the character's thoughts in regards to the world's happenings and themselves in relation to it, as well as how they deal with their personal tragedies compared to an even higher tragic event. One good example being Sir Fratley stricken by his amnesia, unable to remember anything that happened in the past, including his own identity; and Freya, devastated by the loss of many, feeling deep inside that she could have done the difference. The story is rated Mature for featuring some explicit scenes, so be warned. The [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32803090/chapters/81392815 Archive Of Your Own version]] features some lovely illustrations done by the very author as well.

* ''Synopsis'': For centuries, Burmecia and Alexandria were involved in needless wars. When both nations go to war once again, father and warrior Bartholomew Brandford is called to serve in the Burmecian forces. Leaving his wife Lenneth Crescent and their son Jack behind, he struggles with the contradictions and horrors of war. His family and closed ones are not left untouched.
