19* Recommended by: Super Troper, Random Fan, LowPurple, @/{{Zadia}}
20* ''Comments'': Miggy is just brilliant - probably one of the best fanfiction authors I've ever seen. She serves up the best Gen fic the fandom has to offer and every one of them is inventive, articulate and filled with emotion.
21** Note: When we say "Best gen fic the fandom has to offer," we mean she that at the latest [[http://community.livejournal.com/glee_fic_awards/6234.html#cutid1 Glee Fic Awards]] over on Website/LiveJournal, she walked away with first ''and'' third for best gen fic, plus ten other awards for a grand total of twelve - [[SerialEscalation including second place for Best Author Overall.]]
22* Miggy writes some of the best fic I've ever read, if you even slightly like Glee you owe it to yourself to read her fics.
23* Also her recent Glee Survivor and Glee Amazing Race have some of the best characterization I've seen as well as being crazy addicting and absolutely hilarious.

27* ''Comments'': Keitorin Asthore is a genius- she writes amazing fics and recently has been focusing on Kurt-centric fics as well as Klaine. Her OC's are well-thought out and well-written, the stories are believable and she puts a ton of effort into her them- it shows.
28** Seconded. Her writing style is beautiful and flowing, but the most amazing thing about her is the characterization. She does such a fantastic job pinning all of the canon characters, as well as creating well-rounded OC's.

36* ''Comments'': This chick writes beautifully. Right now, she's in the middle of a series she calls 'Expect the Unexpected'. Each fic focuses on one character and gives them a wildly outlandish story-line, ranging from comedic to down right tragic. She's also writing a great take on Cormac [=McCarthy=]'s "The Road", using the Glee characters, and in [=McCarthy=]'s writing style. It's amazing.

93** An action-packed, romantic, tragic, and, at time, genuinely scary fic that keeps up major suspense. It occasionally meanders in the middle but when it gets dark, it gets dark!
94** Seconded. The story is beautifully written, and very heart-wrenching, especially during the end. It manages to keep a dark sense of humor throughout.
95** May I add my two cents? Loved this the whole way through. Starts like standard Glee- Pop culture references ahoy!- But later gets into major zombie genocide business. Would fully say yes to, simply because it made me sit through a whole Puckleberry fic- And that's some of my highest praise.

102* Tags: Tragedy, Hurt/Comfort
103* ''Comments'': One of the most heart-wrenchingly tragic fics I've ever read in my life, and that's really saying something. The shooting itself is just soul destroying in how easy and abruptly some seriously major characters die, but the shooting isn't the main focus of the fic - most of it is the slow, difficult aftermath. The OC's who are written in are so realistic and well written, but then the ''whole damn fic'' is so emotive, you can't help but feel for everything that happens. It shows how an event like this can turn a whole town on it's head, and while it's a real TearJerker, it's so beautifully done that you WILL want to keep reading.

116* Tags: one-shot, rad bromance, Friendship, AU
117* ''Comments'': A touching study of an extremely minor character. So many fics shelve Wes into the roles of matchmaker, gavel-obsessed leader, or slightly boring guy-in-the-background. Here, he's fleshed out and given purpose, in a way we've seen no hint of in canon but at the same time is entirely possible. The fic also (in a way that won't be revealed, as it would be rather spoilery) ties in Karofsky, giving him a bit more motivation. Technically, it's AU by now, but still a fantastic read.

141* ''Comments'': The Author has also made a Soundtrack for the series [[http://bellinaball.livejournal.com/9563.html Here]]
142** Absolutely brutal fic in which certain children grow wings and those that do (called Angels) are seen as inhuman and sold into slavery. Kurt grows his wings late and as a result, doesn't suffer the brainwashing that most Angels do. Which just makes his enslavement that much worse. The first story deals with Kurt's enslavement and the way Blaine treats him (hint, it's not well) and the sequel, [[http://bellinaball.livejournal.com/1216.html Weightless]], deals with Kurt's return to his family and the long journey back to being happy. Both fics are heartbreakingly realistic looks at prejudice and the casual dehumanization that some of the characters show towards Kurt is painful to read. Both are also rated NC-17 for noncon and flashbacks thereof, be warned.
143** Seconded by Lyrical Enigma. I usually dislike wingfics, or even just AU in general, but this is truly stunning. There really aren't words. [[TearJerker And it had my heart breaking from the very first scene.]]

273* ''Comments'': This fic is poignant and well-written and not only handles Kurt and Blaine's relationship in an amazingly sweet way, but also illustrates Kurt's feelings of abandonment from his mother's death. There's a really touching relationship between him and the rest of the members of Glee clubs, and is definitely worth checking out.

281* ''Comments'': TV Tropes page: FanFic/{{Dalton}}
282** This is an extremely well written fic. It includes IC canon characters, well rounded OC's. Intricate plot, tense drama, light humor can all be found in this fic. Heck, reading Sue verbally bitch slap a rival cheerleader is worth reading this fic alone!
283** Seconded. I can't wait to see where this is going.
284** Thirded. Imagine if ''Series/{{Glee}}'' and ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' ran at each other headfirst. This would be the result.
285** Though it should be noted that it is just similar to Ouran High, and that characters and plot are completely different.

371* Seconded. It manages to be an incredibly playful fic and a humorous read. The author not only does a good job with the characterization of Kurt and Blaine, but does a good job capturing minor characters personalities as well. Additionally, it's nice to see a fic that is about the development of their relationship instead of just the build up to it. It's a light fluffly fic, and is good if you are looking for a breezy sort of romance.

470* There are no words for how much I love this fic. It has perfect characterization and approaches the situation realistically. Which is to say, reading this will put you on a roller coaster of emotions. Warning: non-con. [[TearJerker Bring lots of tissues.]]
471* Seconded by: zigzagzoom94. One of the best parts is the characterisation. You can see Kurt's feelings for Dave before he can, which is impressive because it is written strictly from Kurt's POV. Also you can often see and sympathise with different characters' perspectives on different situations and dilemas. This is what makes the story overall very engrossing.
472* Thirded by Sijie. Excellent story, one of the best of the Kurtofsky fandom. The best is that it doesn't paint Blaine as the villain (just slightly misguided, as he is in canon), or make Klaine out to be a horrible relationship. Even when Kurt's feelings for Dave surface, his love for Blaine is never denied.

Huge and only becoming huger (stands at about 750,000 words at the time of writing) with wonderful detail being order of the day. Must-read.
514** Seconded so much by Kathadrion. It has as of January 2012 passed the [[{{Doorstopper}} 800,000 word]] mark and is updated on a weekly basis, but it is so worth the time it takes to read it. Fantastic characterization and prose, as mentioned above. Also, the authors have boldly taken a {{canon}}ically straight character and describe him as having been gay all along, without ''once'' suddenly revealing someone's sexuality. His {{coming out|Story}} process is so fantastically written and believable, it's simply breathtaking.

Follows Brittana's lives from first meeting to post season two, and does an excellent job of adressing canon events without quoting verbatim from the show. Also, it's written in second person the entire time - and it WORKS. See also the companion fic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6930829/1/Pas_de_Deux Pas de Deux]], which covers the same events from Brittany's POV.

531* ''Comments'': I haven't watched much of Glee, nor am I a huge fan of it, but I stumbled on to this story one day and was very much delighted. It's a very well-written, well-paced story. The romance is believable, the challenge provided to the club is interesting (sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious, sometimes adorable), and from the little experience I have with the show, everyone SEEMS very much in character (i.e. Mr. Schuester gets an obligatory Journey reference in there somewhere, Sam likes Avatar, etc.). It's a really solid, enjoyable story that I can honestly say is one of the best fanfics I've ever read (and I've been reading fanfic for years now). Check it out.

539* ''Comments'': Brilliant take on Kurt and Blaine's courtship. One of the first things we ever learn in canon about either boy is that they are both gay--this fic takes that and spins it on its head. Both boys are still the same lovable boys they are in canon, with their personalities still completely in tact, with just one small difference: they think they are straight. It's amazing how coming to terms with their sexuality just a few years later can change things so much. Their friendship is brilliant, and just stays so true to the show.

545* Pairing(s): Klaine focus, mention of others.
546* Synopsis: Blaine's always been told that the dragon you know is safer than the dragon you don't. A spin on the Klaine romance inspired by Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen's relationship from Literature/AGameOfThrones.
547* Tags: Lemon and Dubious Consent (though the fic hasn't reached them yet), physical and mental abuse of a minor, and an Arranged Marriage
548* ''Comments'': A beautiful work in progress that puts Blaine and Kurt in the roles of Daenerys and Drogo, respectively, and plunges them into a original and unique fantasy world. It has a very similar feel to AGameThrons in it's blunt realist approach to Blaine's abuse and his budding relationship with Kurt while still retaining the voice of the Glee characters. It's also a breath of fresh air for people tired of Kurt [[{{Ukefication}} always being the one painted into the role of the abused partner in need of rescue.]]

555* Tags: Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Dark, Lemon, self-harm, [[spoiler: attempted suicide]], copious underage drinking, extremely strong language
556* ''Comments'': An absolutely heartbreaking fic. It humanizes everyone; Kurt, Blaine, Karofsky, and especially Sebastian, who has some SERIOUS issues. It begins lighthearted, but quickly becomes EXTREMELY dark. It's also a serious deconstruction of promiscuity, its effects on one's reputation, and the casual dehumanization of promiscuous people through the derogatory use of words like "slut" and "whore".
557** YMMV, this troper found it to be one of the most ooc fics there ever was.

574* ''Comments'': Many Seblaine fics are AU or have an already established relationship, so they basically ignore how... complicated the canon relationship between Blaine and Sebastian is. But not this one. Even though you can feel that they really do like each other both as friends and in a sexual/romantic sense it doesn't have them get together easily. Sebastian has his asshole moments just like in canon but he is sympathetic, Blaine is flawed but also sympathetic and so is Kurt, who is not made a villain just because he is in the way of the main ship. It also touches upon Dave Karofsky's suicide attempt in a rather heartbreaking way.

582* ''Comments'': Way better than it sounds. Everyone is in-character, the plot is addictive, and you can't help but shed a tear even if you're not a particular fan of the pairing. It's an emotional roller coaster for you just as much as it is for the characters. The beginning is lighthearted and sweet but then it gets dark and heart-breaking and back to sweet again. You may lose precious hours of sleep but it is well worth it. Takes place around Never Been Kissed. Kurt never goes to Dalton. That's pretty much the main change.

It's an AU in which people with unwanted characteristics are sold into slavery, sometimes by their own parents. The romance isn't really romance and it unfolds in a natural and un-rushed manner, really it's more about Kurt helping Blaine to heal. I was sucked into this universe immediately.

598* ''Comments'': This is a really well-written story. There's a lot of layers to this - it's not just the love story, but a very compelling superhero story. It's also one of the few stories out there that uses fandom tropes as more than just window-dressing or comic relief - the fandom characters actually have a vital role to play in the main plot (and even more so in the sequel). Lots of angst and very long, but very well worth it.

The story starts with Santana living with Kurt and Rachel with Brittany coming to live with them. The story focuses on both the rekindling romance between Brittany and Santana but also develops a really good friendship between Santana, Kurt, Rachel and Brittany and also some individual ones between them. With enough drama and humor to entertain you, this is a good fic to read. It's long enough at a little over 250,000 words but it's worth it.

614* ''Comments'' set during season 4 with a particular focus on New York, but there are times when the gang gets back into Lima. mostly focused on Finchel's relationship, and has excellent character building for Finn, Santana, and Kurt. it's broken up into "Seasons and Episodes", with an side note of casting for the new characters introduced, helps to paint a great visual narrative.
615** Seconded by Dreamweaver. The ensemble fix fic is set in Season 4 following Finn's discharge from the army, where instead of going to Lima, Ohio to teach the New Directions, he heads to New York and enrolls in NYADA, hoping to lead the NYADA Glee Club to a Nationals Championship for the first time since 1992. It follows the format of the television show--including end credits to emphasize the cast--and has a feel of a television series versus an actual fan fiction. The story has excellent character development all-around, but arguably has the best version of Finn, Puck and Marley I've ever seen. Despite Puck and Marley never interacting or being an actual couple in the series, it's written as one of the most healthiest relationships in the story, which makes them both easy to root for--separately and together.

631* ''Comments'': The best Rachel/Jesse fanfic in my opinion. This is the characters at their best surrounded by people with similar mindsets that allow them to flourish. At 90 Chapters it's a long read and there's a slow build up through Season 2 episodes. There's no instant happily ever after and Rachel and Jesse's characters, their drive, ambition and above all their devotion to each other shines through. They're not perfect. They're flawed but perfect for each other.

639* ''Comments'': A great, well-written crossover that was written by an author who clearly loves both Glee and Literature/AliceInWonderland. They immediately dive right into an exciting and original plot too that somehow still manages to feel urgent all while showing the usual walking around and meeting people formula the Alice story is known for. Everyone she meets is a Glee character but none of them are ever referred to by their names-her writing is so clear that you immediately can tell who everyone is. It does dabble into quite a bit of romance between Quinn and "The Mad Hatter" but for the most part it's a fun and exciting read.

653* ''Comments'': * TV Tropes page: Fanfic/SolarWinds
654** A simply ''amazing'' {{fusion|Fic}}! The characters of Glee have been placed in the world of Avatar, which is currently in the grips of a mysterious sickness; the plot kicks off when Avatar Kurt and crew (waterbender Finn and earthbenders Mercedes and Artie) run into Fire Prince Blaine. Kurt/Blaine is the primary pairing, but the author explores other relationships (both platonic and romantic) beautifully, in addition to writing incredible intellectual and physical action scenes; the fic is well-categorized as adventure. The author does a really good job with characterizing Glee clubbers as various benders and non-benders and is funny to boot. Enjoyable for fans of either series, delectable for fans of both!
655** Seconded '''extremely''' hard. The characterization are flawless, the completely original plot is intriguing and gripping, the action is dynamic and well paced...all in all, this is an amazingly written fic that does huge justice to both Glee AND Avatar: The Last Airbender.
656** If this was a novel, and I was an editor, I'd strongly suggest that the first few chapters were heavily trimmed or cut all together. I almost gave up on reading this during the first few chapters... and then it suddenly turned awesome, and I totally lost track of time reading it.
657** Thirded like whoa from {{Tropers/Sharysa}}.
658** Fourthed like crazy from {{Tropers/duskdragon}}. Every character introduced has a moment for you to connect with and the characterizations are only matched by it's humor and action scenes. All in all a wonderful read that'll keep you invested for days.

670** This is an absolutely fantastic Glee/Marvel AU. Miggy has the characters perfect and has obviously taken a lot of time to write this very realistic fic. Highly recommended. (Work in progress).
671** I'm really freaking picky about reading WIP's and crossovers. This breaks all my rules, because the characters are rendered flawlessly, and no one is left out as is so common in huge ensemble fics. The prologue alone manages to grab you and suck you in, and the entire superhero genre is deconstructed so well (with all the logistics of 11 teenagers discovering superpowers, training, crimefighting, all without alerting parentals).
672** Thirded so hard. The author seamlessly mixes the Marvel and Glee universes and adds in a dash of realism. The characters are just as they should be, and it's exciting to see where it goes.

736* Comments: A great story focusing on Unique as she realizes her gender identity and how it ties into her magical potential, as well as analyzing the state of minorities and how they're treated in the wizarding world and Hogwarts. It can be a bit of a tearjerker at times, but by the end it's definitely one of the most heartwarming reads I've found.
