12* Pairings: Exclusively none. Lightning Bird writes only Gen Fic for ''VideoGame/FusionFall'', and has stated she doesn't believe non-canon romances are necessary to enhance a fandom.
13* Comments: Writes the best Gen Fic you can find. Her works might be set in Fusion Fall, but they also take a very in-depth, yet refreshing look at the shows involved, notably for ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. In her Dexter-centric oneshots, she has also [[ShownTheirWork shown her work]], making references to many scientific and mathematic laws. As a result, she is a wholly deserving FandomVIP--many ''[=FusionFall=]'' users (including some who were exposed to it through her) have read and are influenced by her works. Plus, despite being busy, she makes a point to reply to every review and fan work she receives. Well worth your time. Below are some of her notable works.

16''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.''

19* Recommended by Shumazau, koolkame, Mondegreen
20* ''Status'': Complete
21* ''Synopsis'': Takes place before the events of the game, and details how Dexter managed to found Dexlabs in the first place.
22* ''Comments'': I had to sit back for a while and think how to describe this piece of fan fiction. The only thing I can say is, it's ''Webcomic/PowerpuffGirlsDoujinshi'' done right. Everyone is in character, there's little to no romance forced down our throats, and the TearJerker scenes are heartwrenching. It's not like reading at all; in fact, it's more like watching a movie in words. Lightning Bird's other works are equally amazing and can stand alone, though it's best to read them in order. One of the things she's done that has me especially impressed is how she actually gave ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce -continuity Ben]] a very likeable personality. Even if you've never played the game or finished it twice over, her works are a refreshing and intriguing journey into the concept of Fusion Fall. TL;DR: Read it. Now.
23** koolkame: No, read it '''yesterday.''' It is seriously that good as it deconstructs Dexter's situation in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and affirms the familial ties of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' while providing excellent characterization. Also, Shumazu is right about lightning bird's other ''[=FusionFall=]'' fics being worthwhile as well.

33* ''Synopsis'': A sequel to ''Invisible Sun'' where Professor Utonium tries to foster friendship between [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Ben Tennyson]] and an over-worked Dexter.
34* ''Comments'': A friendship fic between two different boys featuring lots of cameos by Creator/CartoonNetwork characters including some not seen in the game (yet...) Ben's interactions with these characters are just as entertaining as his relationship with Dexter. Seriously, lightning bird has cornered the market on ''[=FusionFall=]'' fics.
35** HilariousInHindsight: A startling majority of said unseen characters were released soon after the story was completed.

40* ''Synopsis'': [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Kevin]] grows increasingly jealous of [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Ben]] and [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Dexter's]] friendship, but finds an unlikely friendship in [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Buttercup and Ace]]. Then all hell breaks loose as the war gets more serious, and as Kevin watches his friends die, he learns the importance of friendship-- of ALL kinds, especially if he has to share it.
41* ''Comments'': Emotional and dramatic, Pipeline examines the emotional side of ''[=FusionFall=].'' Kevin's definitely not one of the more popular characters, but the story isn't written to glorify him or justify any of his thoughts. The use of Kevin as an UnreliableNarrator really brings out the horror of a war fought by children. Buttercup and Ace's tragic subplot gives an almost domestic side to the situation, and Kevin's interactions with Gwen, Ben, and Dexter really bring out the tension.

48* ''Synopsis'': ENTER THE CARTOON NETWORK UNIVERSE LIKE NEVER BEFORE: Five years after an attempted invasion from another world, 16 year old Ben Tennyson meets with old friend [=Dexter McPherson=], who now runs a technology corporation called Dexlabs Inc. He is asked to test out the new version of a time machine, but when someone screws it up, everyone on Earth is thrown into a war to save the universe.
49* ''Comments'': Cartoon Network Universe Earth One is a novelization of the game, with Ben largely serving as a stand-in for the player character. Each chapter is shown from multiple characters' perspectives, showing how they think and act as the invasion unfolds. With plenty of humor and especially drama, this is a must read.

With the Airship disappeared, comms cut off and no way to reach the mainland, how will the survivors manage to face off with no backup against Fuse's most savage monsters, his elite Fusions and whatever Demongo is scheming in the most dangerous place on Earth?

72* ''Synopsis'': A young soldier's list of truths he's discovered during his time in the war against Fuse.
73* ''Comments'': Absolutely ''hilarious''. Every rule has a pretty obvious story behind it and all the notes from the canon characters are great. Also, seeing a few of the characters who were missing from the game appear here and all seamlessly fit in. If you want something humorous, give it a shot.
