13* Recommended by Tropers/PhoenixFire69
14* ''Status'': Complete
15* ''Synopsis'': A retelling of the second half of ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2,'' from Fiona's perspective.
16* ''Comments'': This perfectly captures the tone of the source material, has a perfect mix of comedy and drama, and expands on the universe a lot more. I ''really'' wish there were more fics like it.

20* ''Status'': Complete
21* ''Synopsis'': A complete ConceptAlbum featuring a newcomer to the titular land of Duloc as he encounters various characters who live in it and bears witness to the societal strife that will lead to the events of the first film.
22* ''Comments'': Often funny, sometimes bittersweet, and consistently charming. In addition, the skits illustrating the protagonist's journey compliment the music rather well.

29* ''Status'': Complete
30* ''Pairing'': Shrek/Fiona
31* ''Synopsis'': The dinner came back to his mind; the perfect occasion to clear up how he had felt about Fiona had been ruined by himself, and well, Donkey. Nothing could have been better than the sunset and he had mucked it up by not letting the words come out. ...But the right ones never seemed to with her. (After the weedrat dinner, Shrek is left to deal with the fact that he has undeniable feelings for the princess)

35* ''Status'': Complete
36* ''Pairing'': Artie/OC
37* ''Synopsis'': "What if, instead of Shrek, there was a teenage girl? Things would be a lot more different, that's for sure. Out of the blue, she just turns up at Arthur's Academy. Suddenly, the dull school isn't dull anymore, & Artie's life will never be the same again."
38* ''Comments'': Shrek is replaced by an OC that is humourous (acting as a {{Foil}} placed [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl alongside Artie]] to [[HilarityEnsues good effect]]), entertaining and has her own backstory (which is told using an interesting JigsawPuzzlePlot). The events of ''Shrek the Third'' are then played out [[DarkerAndEdgier differently]]. The dialogue for Artie, Puss and Donkey matches their personalities exactly. This Troper would go so far as to say that it's better than the third film of which it [[FixFic is based on]].

45* ''Synopsis'': What if Charming's sword didn't miss? AU.
46* ''Comments'': What if Prince Charming successfully managed to kill Shrek at the climax of ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird''? This fic presents a dark yet well-written look at the rise of Charming's reign as king, [[spoiler: followed by his fall and [[RedemptionEqualsDeath eventual redemption]]]]. It also has a companion piece in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11803350/1/The-Second-Stay The Second Stay]], which goes into detail about Fiona's life and pregnancy after being banished to her tower.

52* ''Crossover with'': ''Franchise/HarryPotter''
53* ''Status'': Dormant
54* ''Synopsis'': When King Harold suddenly croaks, Shrek learns he will have to rule the land of Far, Far Away, unless he can find a suitable heir to the throne. The most promising candidate is Fiona's first cousin once removed, Harry. Along with Donkey and Puss in Boots, Shrek sets out to bring Harry back with them, but doing so is a bigger challenge, and a tad more magical, than they expected.
55* ''Comments'': Basically, this charming fic is what would happen if Fiona's cousin happened to be Harry Potter. Everyone appears to be in character, and while the story hasn't quite begun yet, it's still better written than the actual ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird''.

68* ''Status'': Finished
69* ''Synopsis'': After his swamp is filled with magical creatures, Shrek agrees to rescue Princess Fiona for a villainous lord to get his land back.
70* ''Comments'': A MultiAnimatorProject that gives each scene of the movie it’s own style. It is fun and shows what people can accomplish working together.
