38	* ''Synopsis:'' On a mission, Carter runs into a young woman whose father, an essential laborer, has been rendered nonessential due to one of the heroes sabotage missions and risks being inducted as a soldier. And to make matters worse, the local recruiting officer, well-versed in the art of SexualExtortion, is dropping hints about just where her father will be sent unless she pays him a visit. The heroes are very interested in this and set out to take the guy down.
39	* '''Comments:''' The story is mostly dramatic, with introspection about the [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom unintended consequences]] of the heroes missions and a desire to make up for them, but has a few good humorous moments.

57	* Recommended by @/{{Belphegor}}
58	* ''Status'': Complete
59	* ''Synopsis'': The authorities have said that all the animals that escaped from the zoo have been accounted for. Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?
60	* ''Comments'': A mostly light, often hilarious and excellently-written story, with a dry humour that shines in the narration as well as in dialogues. The author makes great use of the premise situation (zoo animals running amok in the woods) and derives a great deal of humour, but also dramatic tension and a few SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments.
61	* ''Tag(s)'': A follow-up to the episode "Monkey Business"; but knowledge of the episode is not required, as the author brings the reader up to speed on the events at the start of the story.

80	* ''Status:'' Complete
81	* ''Synopsis:'' Glimpses into the backstory of Klink through flashbacks, as Hogan works to save him from yet another villainous superior.
82	* ''Comments:'': A surprisingly dark and dramatic tale following Klink and his circle of family and friends from childhood through World War I through the early Nazi years. Contains some violent death, and holocaust references. Klink is given some interesting new depths, although at times it can feel like the writer is shilling this version of him a little too much.

87	* ''Synopsis:'' Three new prisoners arrive at the camp with very different, yet equally dangerous, secrets, while Hogan adapts to a wheelchair after a paralyzing tunnel accident.
88	* ''Comments:'' This story is the third in a series about Hogan in a wheelchair but isn't impossible to enjoy as a standalone tale. Approximately eight years after first reading that series, this story is still stuck in my head while I couldn't remember a thing about any of the other installments.

97	* Recommended by @/{{Belphegor}}
98	* ''Status'': Complete
99	* ''Synopsis'': The life of an old friend and the safety of the whole operation are at risk...unless Hogan's men can sing their way out of it...
100	* ''Comments'': It's an epic, it's a love letter to music, and probably one of the most funny, tense and uplifting stories in the archive. The author has obviously excellent knowledge of music, both classical (Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" plays a significant part in the dénouement) and contemporary (with numbers as varied as ''Roll Out the Barrel'', "Clementine" and "Jerusalem"); the characterisation is spot-on, and the original characters are well-rounded and often endearing. A must-read.
101	* ''Tag(s)'': The "old friend" mentioned in the summary is Major Hans Teppel, aka Robert J. Morrison, from the episode ''Bad Day in Berlin'', but knowledge of the episode isn't required.

114	* Recommended by @/{{Belphegor}}
115	* ''Status'': Complete
116	* ''Synopsis'': Red is the color of fire and drive. Blue is the color of water and the cold. A pre-series fic showing the genesis of the unlikely friendship between the two corporals who wore these colors so proudly.
117	* ''Comments'': Simply put, how Newkirk and [=LeBeau=] became the VitriolicBestBuds they are shown to be in the show. The author alternates between tension and humour, and writes very good banter between Englishman and Frenchman as they are forced to put their trust in each other and join forces. The [[FireForgedFriends epilogue]] is a small but definitely SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}}.
118	* ''Tag(s)'': It's set in Autumn 1940, so none of the Americans appear in this story, and operations have (of course) not started yet.

125	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7222614/1/Return-of-the-Informer Return of the Informer]]'', by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2550528/Sgt-Moffitt Sgt. Moffitt]]
126	* Recommended by @/{{Belphegor}}
127	* ''Status'': Complete
128	* ''Synopsis'': Just when the Heroes thought they had seen the last of this guy...
129	* ''Comments'': This story is a study in how to wonderfully subvert the YouLookFamiliar trope. The author started with a character from the pilot (the aforementioned "informer") and worked on the assumption that, through a series of coincidences, the guy (now working in Intelligence, with chronic back luck) popped back in Stalag 13 under different identities through (mostly) no fault of his own. The result is a 7-chapter hilarious and frequently touching story, with a main character who quickly becomes {{Adorkable}} and never even skirts the MartyStu line.
130	* ''Tag(s)'': Each chapter follows an episode, so having seen said episodes (where Noam Pitlik guest-stars) is a big plus. That said, the story is strong enough to stand on its own.
