13	* This writer has quite a few Tales of the Abyss storied under their belt. Their writing consists of stories or oneshots exploring "what ifs" of the storyline. Laryna6 portrays all of the characters very well and never once did I feel that story was ridiculous or the characters ooc. These stories are possibly some of the best fanfiction I've ever read. They explore the implications of the plot in a logical yet creative manner. Another plus would be that Laryna6 tends to finish their fics even if it takes a while to update.

23	* ''Status'': Complete, with [[Fanfic/{{Reflections}} a page.]]
24	* ''Comments'': Pitch perfect writing and wonderfully written tale for not only fans of the game and anime, but for newcomers as well. Expertly re-writes the story as if it were her own. Highly recommended.

29	* ''Status'': Complete
30	* ''Synopsis'': When one man's insanity goes too far, our heroes find themselves left picking up the pieces.
31	* ''Comments'': Written in less than a month, this story was definitely one of the most ambitious title to grace the site; fortunately this was done to perfection.

35	* Recommended by Tru Reader
36	* ''Synopsis'': Jade decided to call it "duplicosis phasis." Luke decided he was tired of having it, but didn't know how to go about getting rid of it. The whole group decided to come together one more time to save both the world and their friend.
37	* ''Status'': Complete.
38	* ''Comments'': One of the best stories written with spot-on characterizations.

42	* Recommended by {{Keltena}}
43	* ''Status'': Complete
44	* ''Synopsis'': The night before Eldrant. Luke is near his breaking point. It looks like some soul-searching and a little heart-to-heart is in order, and Jade is ever the insightful one despite an evening at the bar.
45	* ''Comments'': Sad or even heartbreaking, but full of character development for both Jade and Luke; possibly the best fic exploring their relationship.

49	* Recommended by Hollow_Ninja, Tropers/{{Keltena}}
50	* ''Synopsis'': Takes place after the events of Tales of the Abyss. It takes place several years later, and focuses on new characters (the children of Abyss's cast). One of the major themes involves the treatment of the replicas and the replica spawn (children of replicas).
51	* ''Status'': Discontinued.
52	* ''Comments'': It's a comic, drawn manga-style. The dialogue is very well-written. The art is pretty good too. It's highly recommended, and better than a lot of commercial manga.

56	* Recommended by Sylvia Viridian
57	* ''Status'': Complete
58	* ''Synopsis'': A spoiler-free postgame one-shot involving a simple request from Anise and Jade's subsequent analysis of the situation at hand.
59	* ''Comments'': Really sweet and very IC, this fic shows off Jade and Anise's unique family-ish dynamic to great effect, and gives some nice perspective on what goes on inside Jade's head, and the difference between the things he feels internally and the way he expresses those feelings. Anise's mood-swinging and oddly innocent manipulative behaviors are also very well portrayed.

64	* ''Status'': Dead
65	* ''Synopsis'': The first time Ion saw him, he was chained to the wall in the deepest darkest cell in the Order's dungeon. In which Ion is sort-of a friend of Asch and find joy in finding a way to make Arietta love him, a way for the world to end quicker than foretold, and keeping Asch from turning into mindless drone of Van while also having to maintain world's order as the Fon Master. It's hard for a kid to juggle all that, specially when he only has four years before dying, but at least he's having fun.
66	* ''Comments'': Don't know about the songfic written in the tag, but it's nice depiction of Asch's life in the Order with Ion. And Original Ion here really is different with his replica.

72	* ''Comments'': A beautifully written set of snapshots of Luke and Jade's (unlikely) student-teacher dynamic. Amusing and touching at the same time.

85	* Recommended by ElementalMastery
86	* ''Synopsis'': Jade, along with the others, believed that they could forge their own future without destroying the planet's memory. They were wrong. And the so-called madman was right.
87	* ''Status'': Complete
88	* ''Comments'': An excellent take on a what-if scenario, of Ion's Score reading coming true after the events at Eldrant. The author does a great job of keeping everyone in character (especially Jade), as well as adding depth to them.

98	* ''Comments'': Nicely written trilogy of stories, each focusing on a specific couple; two are romantic, and one is touching in the non-romantic sense. A good read.

110	* ''Status'': Complete
111	* ''Synopsis'': Ten years later, it's time to let go. Post Game, but without spoilers. Jade is slowly dying of an illness and Guy copes as best as he can.
112	* ''Comments'': A beautifully written tearjerking story featuring Jade/Guy. This story from Guy's POV in the second person, but it is very effective.
