History FanficRecs / Reborn2004

* Comments: An amazing oneshot based around the idea that [[ForWantOfANail instead of Ryohei becoming Tsuna's guardian, Kyoko does in his place.]] Despite the fact that they're alike in personality, how Kyoko sees and handles things is a lot different than Ryohei, and the characterization throughout the story is spot-on. It's not just interesting, it's ''believable'', and makes you really wonder WhatCouldHaveBeen. Covers the time from the beginning of the manga up through the Varia arc and into the future arc, and leaves you wanting more.

''This fandom spit out Self-Insert and OC-centric stories with fervor. However, there are many readers that don't like these sorts of stories, so a separate folder to sort these recs in seemed reasonable''

* Comments: This author has only posted three stories for this fandom but they are next-level. ''Fanfic/BlackSky'', a Harry Potter crossover that has(at the time of posting this recommendation) over 240 chapters and over a million words. We've only just reached the Varia arc in KHR! ''Parenting is Not a Varia Quality'', a side-story to ''Black Sky'' featuring the Varia [=OCs=]. Starring Mainomai, a Varia Mist with 'the attention span of a hyperactive goldfish', as he finds himself an unexpected father. Needless to say, the title of this story is apt. ''Fanfic/BoltFromTheBlue'', an SI into canon KHR!, becoming Xanxus' Lightning Guardian when Xanxus is only ten. Follows both of them as they traverse the Mafia World while exploring their burgeoning relationships, both with others around them and each other.
** This author stands out because the skill with [=OCs=] is godly. Mainomai in particular has a large following because of his extreme ADHD and 'precious cinnamon roll' nature. He got his own spin-off. Lektor, a Lightning from ''Black Sky'', was an instant hit after only one chapter. Marvel Squad; Varia Assassins who emulate Marvel Heroes. You will find yourself trying to find their entries on the KHR! Wiki because you will believe they are actually in the show.

* Status: Dormant; last updated February 2018

* Crossover with: ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''

* Comments: In which Iemitsu tries to be a good doting father but takes the doting part UpToEleven. It's not entirely stated as crack but with the Arcobaleno as the OnlySaneMan among the Vongola, it might as well be.

* Comments: Seconded. So very much. There are no words to say how captivating this story gets once you get into it. The pace slows considerably in the latter two parts, but the plot itself is more than enough to keep a person at the edge of the seat from start to finish and as of part two, it sometimes gets so overwhelming that it's difficult to believe how little things suddenly become incredibly important. About the worst flaw I can think of in this story is the sheer amount of OCs, but they're neither flat or unlikable. Hell, all the characters are given the depth and it's particularly interesting to see some of the subtle parallels between ashes' world and Amano's Future Arc, although characters like Byakuran make no appearance other than just being occasionally mentioned. The best thing about the story have got to be the characters, however. They evolve and they change and yet they do not change enough to be unrecognizable. And as a bonus, they're all flawed. So very much that it's sometimes difficult to just swallow it all without feeling the need to cry. Ashes goes to great lengths to show the dark and more realistic side of the Mafia and life in general and her time's not been wasted. DarkerAndEdgier taken UpToEleven indeed.

''Fanfic/{{Abraxas}}'' by shanatical

* Comments: Don't let the sparse summary or the M rating scare you away, this fic is a GEM. The rating is a case of better safe than sorry for nongraphic descriptions of violence and most of the characters having a potty mouth, there's no sexual scenes or graphic gore. I really love "Reborn is Tsuna's Sun" AUs, and I love the way Reborn and Tsuna's relationship is written- how even as they grow closer and Reborn starts trusting Tsuna to show his vulnerabilities and that yes, he can care and be insecure about things like anyone else, the writer never really lets you forget that Reborn is STILL as lethal and morally sideways as they come. He's not one or the other but both, and it strikes me true to Reborn's character in a way very few fics do. There's also a lot of platonic snuggling and heat-sharing going on so they're very cute about it too, which is a bonus :P

* Notes: the author recently changed their username from DoragonkasaiTsubasa to what it is now (findingkairos). Though the fic was dormant for almost three years, the author has started updating again.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7376747/1/ Sora]]'' by Araceil

* Comments: Don't be fooled - this isn't another CookieCutterFic with KHR characters replacing the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' characters. It's much, MUCH more than that. I don't wanna spoil anything, so my best advice is to read it for yourself.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12821292/1/ Flames of Resolve]]'' by Dareagon

* Comments: Wonderfully written. The story is undergoing a rewrite but you can find the old version [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11713256/1/ here]].

* Crossover with: ''Manga/{{Dr Stone}}''

* Comments: Follows the trend of reincarnation fics in the fandom, [[RecycledInSpace but with a twist]]: a guy, [[FirstPersonSmartass Da]][[{{DeadpanSnarker}} v]][[SarcasmMode id]], is reincarnated as [[TheCutie Ch]][[NiceGirl ro]][[{{Moe}} me]], and stays female, unlike the common rout of 'a girl is reborn as one of the guys but magically turned into a girl'. He died in a conventional manner, didn't screw up his last life, and was picked only because canon!Chrome dies somehow and needs a replacement, and he's the only person currently available. [=HalcyonNight=] has left any and all pairings up to the readers.
