41	* ''Synopsis'': When the mind of a single individual is corrupted by a twisted fiend, a series of bizarre events unfold that no one could stop.
42	* ''Comments'': A note of caution, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids this story is rated R for a reason]]. It's intensely violent and ''very'' bloody. Oh yeah, it takes place in a CrapsackWorld.
43	** Seconded by RejectedOne123. This is certainly not a fanfic for those who are not mature enough for such content. That being said, DarkHououmon incorporates excellent description in order to make the reader feel like that they are 'watching' the story play out before their eyes. Despite having some elements that certain LBT purists may find unappealing (such as magic, spiritualism, and a hint of slash) the story is not bogged down by such concepts. Rather, those concepts serve the overall plot and feel of the story quite well. This is certainly a must-read for anyone who is interested in LBT fanfictions.

48	* ''Synopsis'': Set many years after the movies' settings, Little Foot and the gang have grown up. Grandpa Longneck has long since passed on, leaving Little Foot, or Lesik as he's called now, in charge of the Great Valley. The story kicks off with a now grown-up Chomper returning to the valley. Upon reuniting with his old friends, he explains that the Sharptooth lands are being ravaged by a devastating sickness. Little Foot and the gang resolve to help their old friend and depart for the Sharptooth lands.

55	* ''Comments'': By this point, the whole FantasticRacism in the franchise has been done to death, but karkovice somehow manages to make it feel fresh and new again. Much of the series focuses on Little Foot as he tries to be a fair leader in a changing world. In the first story, the dinosaurs of the Great Valley (and the readers as well) learn that the Sharpteeth are not a bunch of mindless, AlwaysChaoticEvil creatures. They have a culture, feelings, and families, just like the Leaf Eaters, and a lot of drama comes from the long held prejudices against Sharpteeth that permeate the valley. In the second, Cera develops PTSD, after the ordeal in the Sharpteeth lands, and must rely on her friends to help her cope. In the third, Ducky and Petrie become mates (followed by Cera's young cousin and Chomper's son in the fourth), and they must deal with the prejudice and hatred that follow. Occasionally, karkovice will launch into PurpleProse, but overall, the stories are well-written, and the characters are well-developed.

105	* ''Synopsis'': A fateful wish causes horrific changes to our favorite seven dinosaurs. What will they do when they are forced to leave all they know behind and live an alien lifestyle in the mysterious beyond? What will they do when the hunted become the hunters? Follow Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper, and Ruby in this dark story of death, revenge, redemption, and hope. Has a [[FanFic/TheSevenHunters tropes page]].
106	* ''Comments'': One of the best Land Before Time fanfics out there. The author takes the concept of the gang turning into sharpteeth and really fleshes it out. Minor characters such as the Rainbow Faces and Ruby's parents get plenty of attention and development. Redclaw is reworked into a serious villain whose presence would strike fear on a similiar level as the original Sharptooth, and his second-in-command, the sociopathic Calin, is even worse. The author's knowledge of biology, anatomy, psychology, and zoology help make the gang's transformation that much more believable. This is a well-written story that deserves to be read.

111	* Synopsis: Now teenagers, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike find themselves on a new adventure in which they have to face deadly opponents, protect lives, and experience forbidden feelings that neither they nor anyone else imagined they would ever have.
112	* Pairing(s): Little Foot/Cera, onesided Little Foot/Ali, Ducky/Pertie, Chomper/Ruby, Shorty/Ali, Spike/OC.
113	* Comments: This person knows each of the characters inside and out. Even though this is rated T, it wasn't too dark for my taste. Anyone who wants a more LighterAndSofter fanfiction (at least compared to the one above) without going into saccharine territory and people who like InterspeciesRomance stories should give this a read. The OCs don't feel out of place either, and it tackles Chomper's 'growing up' problem in a way I feel would work if the Land Before Time franchise went in this direction. Overall, this is a fantastic story!

117	* Status: Dormant; last updated February 2018
118	* Synopsis: Brother and sister Fyn and Zaura, two Amargasaurs living near the Big Water journey into the Mysterious Beyond following an age-old trail left by their father- a trail that supposedly leads to the mythical Great Valley, where dinosaurs once lived in harmony. Their trek takes them through the very heart of the Beyond, where forces beyond their understanding have been at work for years. Together with Sol the lone Longclaw, left to fend for himself at an early age, and Rear the dishonored Fast Biter clinging onto the last shred of her honor, they must unravel the dark secrets plaguing the Beyond, and work to finish what their father started when he ventured to the Great Valley so many years ago.
119	* ''Comments'': An almost very underrated story that focuses on a pair of Amargasaurus siblings (also known as sailnecks), a naive Suchomimus (longclaw), and a dishonoured Utahraptor (fast biter) as they journey across the Mysterious Beyond to the mythical Great Valley to finish what the siblings' father started so long ago. The characters are very well thought of and the way how Rear explains to a confused Sol on sharptooth beliefs and death that makes you rethink that death is not always the end. With every chapter that's posted up, I always find myself enjoying it even more. It gives you the feeling of DarkerAndEdgier the more the story goes on and the further the journey goes on. Character growth is really good as well and I find myself connecting with them as they go through the perils of the Mysteious Beyond. I definitely recommend it.

Special mention for Cera standing up to her dad, as well as apologizing to Littlefoot for insulting the latter's mom, and Littlefoot being forced to question his late mother's remark that all Dinosaurs stick to their own kind.
