9	* Recommended by Tropers/GoblinVenom
10	* A group of four fanfic authors that used to roleplay on Formspring and then came together to create a new series of canon-compliant fanfiction. They follow the first two seasons of ''Gargoyles'' and the SLG comic books (and they've hinted that some of the Radio Plays are canon to an extent) and have tackled ''Gargoyles'', ''Bad Guys'', ''Pendragon'', ''TimeDancer'', ''Heroes of Ulster'', and more. They do a fantastic job of keeping the characters in-character (No [[DracoInLeatherPants Demona In Leather Pants]] here!), and their love for the series and Weisman's mythology shines through. Very well plotted, and the stories mostly stand on their own while being built upon for a larger continuity. It looks like it will be going great places and I cannot wait to read more of it.

15	* An organized VirtualSeason fan continuation of the franchise that not only includes the main series, but also delves into the various SpinOff series Greg Weisman wanted to produce as well - though he had NOTHING to do with this ''Saga''. Warning: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DracoInLeatherPants Demona In Leather Pants]] is all over this saga. [[note]] In this fic, she's eating Christmas dinner with them less than two months after she almost destroyed all life on Earth. In addition, what people also seem to forget is that Demona was willing to risk the life of her daughter by tossing the deadly vial into the air (Hunter's Moon, Part 3) just to cover up her escape with no way to know that Goliath would catch it. The same daughter would apparently can make Demona forsake her genocidal tendencies. As others have stated, The Sandman from Spider-Man might endanger a share of civilians to put Spider-Man at his mercy, but Demona had no other plan beyond killing every single human on the Earth.

19	* Voted the Most Influential Person in ''Gargoyles'' fanfiction. Well thought out plots, in characterization of canon characters (as well as expanding on them), well rounded original characters, and just plain well written. This troper could list a lot of examples to hold these claims, that they would be giving away a lot of the plots to the fics.

28	* A rich series of romantic and action fanfics about the Xanatos' new nanny who has a special secret that gives her a powerful link to the Manhattan Clan. The series was written a decade ago, so some old assumptions like Lex being straight stand.

36	* Abandoned now due to various personal reasons, including the project's greater focus on OCs, but she created a fascinating series, exploring such storylines as Goliath and Elisa's wedding, Matt's relationship with the Xanatos' new nanny and her part-Fey daughter, Broadway sustaining a serious injury, the Manhattan Clan meeting the gargoyles of New Orleans... existing characters are well-written, new characters are easy to admire and enjoy, and the overall storylines are ''excellent''.

But their civil war also risks unleashing something far worse - an evil not seen since the darkest days of Mab.

60	* ''Synopsis'': Set pre-series. Demona/Macbeth friendship with maybe a hint of romance. Vaguely related to my "When You Hurt" story, although it's not necessary to read that one to understand this one. Another, more humorous glimpse into a time when they weren't enemies.

67	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4818572/1/ Rhapsody]]'', by Greg Bishansky
68	* Recommended by DemonaFanX
69	* ''Status'': Complete
70	* ''Synopsis'': In the year 2056, the UsefulNotes/UnitedNations debates the fate of the gargoyle species. Meanwhile, Demona reclaims the regenerated Praying Gargoyle. Tonight is the Hunter's Moon, and regardless of the outcome, the clan's lives will be forever changed.
71	* ''Comments'': Written by an author who, obviously, spent a lot of time studying both the canon and Greg Weisman's plans, Bishansky's story manages to keep everyone in character while taking place decades in the future. You can see this as a natural bridge between ''Gargoyles'' and the unmade ''Gargoyles: 2198'' spin-off. Also, Demona manages to be the well rounded villain she is in the series; no DracoInLeatherPants or cackling CardCarryingVillain here.

74	* Recommended by [=JBriskin=]
75	* ''Status'': Complete
76	* ''Synopsis'': The Manhattan Clan and their allies (and enemies) bear witness to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Demona cites this senseless act of human violence as further evidence for her case of humanity being "a poison that must be purged from this planet."
77	* ''Comments'': As with the above story, the author manages to keep the cast in character, while simultaneously conveying the gravity of the attacks (which, by his own admission, impacted him personally, and required him to relive very painful memories) to readers who were there when it happened, and those who only learned of it later in life.

82	* ''Synopsis'': Origin story of Richard S. Wagner. An Illuminati assassin comes face-to-face with a horror so overwhelming that it forces him to question everything he believes in. Rated "M" for themes of the Holocaust. Complete.
83	* ''Comments'': Interesting premise about a gargoyle who was surgically altered to look human.

93	* ''Status'': Dormant; last updated November 2017
94	* ''Synopsis'': Elisa knew what she was, yet she didn't. All she knew was she was a protector, but she did not understand why. Until she found them...the gargoyles from the past.
95	* ''Comments'': A fascinating AU based on the simple premise of 'What if Elisa was a gargoyle from the beginning'? The storyline's only just up to the moment when she meets the entire clan, but so far it has been excellent reading, giving a neat background for how Elisa can consider the human Mazas family and how she came to Manhattan, and even 'recreating' her first meeting with Goliath despite the fact that she can fly herself now.

100	* ''Synopsis'': An alternate ending to Goliath Chronicles episode "Generations", Angela is beyond enraged after learning the truth about Demona's scheme to stage Goliath's kidnapping by the stealth hunter in order to gain favor with the Clan while secretly having him conveniently killed off. Angela shows her manipulative mother exactly how she felt about it in the only way the exiled Gargoyle could understand.
101	* ''Comments'': An interesting take on the ending of said episode. If you thought the original episode ended pretty weakly, then this is the ending for you! Warning: extremely pissed-off Angela.

110	* ''Synopsis'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. A PuckOC romance and so much more
111	* Pairings: Puck/OC, Xanatos/Fox
112	* ''Comments'': Really good. The OC isn't a Mary-Sue (at least by the standards of ''Gargoyles'' characters) and the characterizations of Owen/Puck are awesome. We get so see how Puck thinks when he's Owen (which he is for ninety percent of the fic), Fox and Xanatos' marriage, and a bunch of fun with King Arthur. While it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, it feels like there should be a sequel (5 years later, there isn't).

133	* ''Comments'': While several fanfics have [[{{Crossover}} crossed over]] these two particular series, Cochran's story is easily the best of the lot. Everyone's in character, every member of the large cast gets a moment in the limelight, and most of the minor changes Cochran makes to the existing series are actually improvements, particularly making Janine a full-time Ghostbuster. If only all {{Crossover}} fics could be this good...

One night, the still unnamed Trio decide they want to watch a football game in person. Elsewhere in the city, a certain red clad mutant ninja turtle also decides he wants to catch a football game in person, and he didn't bother telling anyone else in his family that he was going out...

141	* ''Comments:'' A unique crossover between the TMNT and Gargoyles, this story features an original interpretation of the TMNT cast, drawing inspiration and influence from multiple incarnations of the turtles. The Gargoyles cast are mostly the same except instead of awakening in 1994 they awoke in 2001. The author has an excellent grasp of the characters and is heavily committed to keeping the story historically grounded.
