* ''Synopsis'': From Fanfiction.net: "Samus. Metroid. Hatchling. A piece of planet SR388 has stabilized its orbit around a small star and Samus is inclined to investigate if the X still exist. She goes there despite protests from the Federation and the malfuntioning of her power suit."

* ''Comments'': This fanfic, starting mere days after Metroid Fusion's ending, begins with the Federation declaring a golden age is nigh. Then a lot of character (re)introduction ensues, followed by Samus crashlanding on a nearby planet in an attempt to escape the Federation. Shortly after... Samus joins the Space Pirates. In order to combat the corrupt Galactic Federation. This happens in countless Metroid fics, but this fic executes it particularly well, and the allegiance is actually somewhat believable just because of the way the author explains it. There are very few OCs (not counting creatures), with many old faces at least poking their head in for a bit. In particular, all of the hunters from Prime Hunters are mentioned and some are characterized. The whole fic seems to be inspired by all Metroid games in fact, because all of them get an homage in their own way. If there's anything negative to say, it's that the description at times is rather lacking, but the dialogue, plot, and characterizations are particularly fantastic. Definitely worth a read.
* ''Status'': In progress... and may be a Dead Fic. It's currently at 17 chapters and approximately 70-75 thousand words. The last chapter was posted fairly recently, but it's pretty lacking in overall quality--the author, however, expresses interest in both rewriting chapter 17 and finishing the story without rushing.

* ''Comments'': A novelization of Metroid Fusion that vastly expands on the plot of the game, as well as Samus' relation to Adam Malkovich. While the backstory has been {{jossed}} by ''[[{{Ptitleqggcng93}} Metroid: Other M]]'' [[{{Understatement}} like]] [[BeyondTheImpossible crazy]], it's still a great AU read anyway. Minor {{Shout Out}}s to CowboyBebop and OutlawStar.

* ''Status'': In Progress... but looks like it's in DeadFic territory, what with the last update being in Feb. 2009.

* ''Status'': In Progress. Was DeadFic until fairly recently; updated February 2010.

** Oh yeah, {{Jossed}} [[{{Understatement}} like]] [[BeyondTheImpossible crazy]], but it's still a fun AU anyway.

* ''Synopsis'': "Samus runs into a Federation technician in a bar. They chat about technology in the Metroid universe. An exploration of the power suit’s underlying technologies."

* ''Synopsis'':During Hunters. Back-story of Talon, a human working with the Space Pirates who is taken by the Galactic Federation and used as an experiment.
* ''Comments'':Very violent, lots of action. Does not and will not involve Samus. Involves [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique interrogations]] inspired by [[SplinterCell Splinter Cell Conviction]].[[spoiler:One of which involves Talon stabbing someone in the shoulder with an [[ImprovisedWeapon I.D. Card]].]]
* ''Status'':In Progress

* ''Comments'': Expands the canon events in the series, primarily ''Fusion'', with flashbacks to events from other games and the manga for Samus' childhood. Fleshes out Samus' personality and feelings, portraying her as a warrior, a motherly figure, and a lonely girl. Features interesting character interactions, issues with Samus' Metroid DNA, and an original post-''Fusion'' adventure. Unfortunately, ''Hatchling'' is drawing dangerously close to DeadFic territory.
