''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10550829/1/Psi-Effect Psi Effect]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/235984/Cap-n-Chryssalid Cap'n Cryssalid]]
* Recommended by: keen320
* Status: Ongoing
* Crossover with: MassEffect
* Synopsis: A fun-loving asari mercenary finds herself a little in over her head when she ends up abducted by terrifying aliens from beyond the galactic frontier. These asari-like creatures call themselves 'humans.' They seem to be secretly nosing about on the borders of known space, acting through proxies, conducting covert operations, and they've got a deal for an enterprising asari...
* Comments: Using the elements from Enemy Within, this fic is significantly lighter then most X-com crossovers. While X-com is, as often seems to be the case in these crossovers, somewhat overpowered, this was offset by the lighter nature of the fic, X-com's desire to stay covert, and the fact that the fic is told mostly from non-human povs, particularly the asari mentioned in the synopsis.
* Pairing(s): Possible one sided pairing between OC and Shepherd.

* ''Comments:'' From the same author of Fanfic/TiberiumWars, {{Fanfic/Renegade}}, and Fanfic/NoGodsOnlyGuns comes a [[DarkerAndEdgier decidedly grim]] mash-up of the worlds of X-COM and MassEffect. Apparently inspired by Fanfic/XCOMSecondContact, the story is its own organism, with such differences as [[spoiler: first contact being with the geth, and [[KillEmAll the destruction of the entire quarian race.]] by the Ethereals.]] The story is darkly intriguing at only five chapters thus far, and shows enormous potential.

The author has hinted that the slightly diffrent Stargate galaxy the Earth of the story finds themselves in is a result of some sort of conflict/relations between the Goa'uld and the Etherals... and that we should all be scared witless when the already psychic bad guys of Stargate show up. It's written from Jack's perspective in first person and is actually quite funny at times - even if the main draw is the kickass action on a scale never dreamed of by SG1 or XCOM.

* The saga that inspired the ''X-COM'' page on TV Tropes... and the exhaustive coverage that drove Guava and Jade nuts. Note that these are listed in order by internal chronology; Guava actually played Apocalypse and Interceptor first, then Jade did Aftermath, then they started collaborating.
* @/{{Ssfsx17}}: This is an absolutely epic saga detailing the life and times of an X-COM soldier by the name of Otto Zander, with some interesting custom missions made specifically for the LP series.
* It would seem that Otto Zander is now an "official" unlockable character in the new '''[[VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown XCOM remake]]''' by Firaxis. A great little piece of [[AscendedFanon ascended fanon]].
* @/{{Speedball}}: It's a fantastic comedy of errors where everyone keeps dying...and yet also gets serious when it becomes time to, like all great fiction. Seriously, check it out.

Currently DeadFic, due to the author suffering a HeroicBSOD following a traumatizing defeat while assaulting a Muton base.

* Pilfering equal parts from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' to create a tongue-in-cheek hyper-Spartan mentality, these two somehow manage to survive ''X-COM'''s insane RedShirt turnaround and turn that luck into ensemble comedy.

''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

* Recommended by usmarox
* ''Synopsis'': Strong contender with the above for "original and best". Can be non-canon in places, generally only to invoke a little more [[TruthInTelevision truth in fanfiction]]. Originally hosted on GeoCities.

''[[http://area51.xcomufo.com/fanfiction.htm X-COM: Unknown Menace]]''
* Recommended by Flaser
* ''Synopsis'': This is EPIC, in the truest sense of the world. It covers the entire First Alien War (UFO Defense) from X-COM's beginning to the final battle at Cydonia (1998-2003). 36 chapters of brutal combat, political intrigue and conspiracy. André has managed to pack a lot into this story, bringing the game to life and giving us characters that you care about.
* ''Comments'': Worth noting that the writer's first language is ''not'' English, so this can make some parts difficult to read. Nonetheless, ''extremely'' well-done and properly thought-out, adding in political and conspiracy angles that the original game couldn't offer.
** @/TheyKilledFritz: It's worth noting that, although the original novel is complete, as is the intermediate short story 'Eulogy', the full sequel 'Abyssal' is currently DeadFic, and will likely remain that way permanently - the most recent update, the eighth chapter, was posted in 2005. As such, it is likely that the third planned novel, 'Nemesis', will never even be begun.

** @/{{Night}}: Feel-good asskickings abound. In other words...'''NOTHING LIKE X-COM'''.
** @/{{Mandemo}} disagrees. It's exactly ''X-COM''. It's just Jaffa suck compared to sectoids, etherial or crysalids... Still, X-COM spends most of its time trying to figure alien tech out, as several situations at are very grim (Alien fighters from''Interceptor'' against ''UFO Defense'' equipment? OhCrap). Still awesome!

''Fanfic/XCOMSecondContact'' by Agayek
* Recommended by @/GentlemensDame883 and the @/AceOfScarabs
* ''Pairings'': None (yet?)
* ''Synopsis'': 140 years have passed since the Ethereal War, leaving sociocultural scars on humanity's psyche. When a scientific team is attacked by unknown aliens while investigating a mysterious megastructure, the lingering paranoia is justified all over again. ''Enemy Unknown'' continuity, crossover with ''Franchise/MassEffect''.
