Proof that [[SturgeonsLaw the remaining 10% is worth eating red flowers for]] here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' {{Fan Fic}}s, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name and self recommendations will be '''zapped'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec or support it. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into shipping or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

''[[http://twitter.com/Lonebot Lonebot]]'' and ''[[http://twitter.com/curlehbrace curlehbrace]]'', by [[http://www.cavestory.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3097 Captain Fabulous]]. (Note: Some implied [[{{ecchi}} sexual]] content, building off what was already there in the game.)
* Recommended by @/MetaFour, @/{{jaimeastorga2000}}, @/{{T-Jack}} @/{{Malpercio}}
* ''Status'': Dead
* ''Synopsis'': The twitter accounts of Quote and Curly Brace, respectively, providing updates as they experience those last crazy days on Mimiga Island--and in Quote's case, intermittent updates afterwards.
* ''Comments'': This sticks close to the game canon (specifically, the [[spoiler:good ending]]), with fanon to fill in some gaps. The characterization of Quote is rather humorous, as he clearly considers himself the OnlySaneMan on Mimiga Island, and reacts to the bizarre [=NPCs=], enemies, and ecosystem with a mix of incredulity and snark. I also like how he begins the story motivated primarily by selfishness and boredom, but develops more heroic motivations over the course of events.

''(Content warning for sexual assault and some graphic violence)''

* Recommended by @/{{Keltena}} @/{{Malpercio}} , The Criticof Innocence
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': The Three Laws of Robotics governs the way that a robot lives and serves humans. With Quote's memories fragmented, he is the only one able to disobey them. Curly Brace has a new mission now, to save him from the stranger inside himself.
* ''Comments'': An odd idea for a story, but brilliantly and very emotionally executed; if you don't at least tear up at the ending, you are not human. Quote and Curly are characterized well, and there are some nice touches, such as giving Quote a last name.
** Seconded; the ending (and the beginning as well) pack a huge wallop of emotion. Plus, if you don't hate the Doctor now, the story makes sure that you will.

''Two Skies, One Color'' by ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2608496/The_Nefarious_Nerd TheNefariousNerd]]''
* Recommended by dompeace23, Lunatic0verlord
* Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found.
* ''Synopsis'': Cave Story/Earthbound crossover in which Ness and Co. are warped to the Cave Story universe during the final battle with Giygas due to a mistake on Pokey's part. Now they must work together to save both universes.
* ''Comments'': Interesting concept. Above average writing and neatly utilizes the original game dialog.
** Sadly, the link is dead.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5733045/1/Cave_Story_A_Novelization Cave Story: A Novelization]]'' by [=JackmanB=]
* Recommended by @/{{phazonfarmer}}
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: VideoGame/CaveStory in the form of a novel.
* ''Comments'': A very interesting read. While it does alter the course of the story a bit, it only does it in situations where story is more important than the game's [[AttackAttackAttack nature]].

''Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.''

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6447352/1/Sue-Which-is-the-World-for-me Sue: Which is the World for me?]]'' by Derpachu
* Recommended by @/{{Mistamage}}
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Pairing:'' Sue/Kanpachi
* ''Synopsis'': It's been a year after the events of Cave Story, and ever since Sue returned from the island, she's been in a slump, and she can't stop thinking about the island. She decides to return there to figure out why she feels drawn back, and ends up finding more than she'd thought she would...
* ''Comments'': A pretty good fanfiction. Sue and Kanpachi's relationship is grown slowly, and the characters' characterization is pretty well done.

''These are games either made from scratch or sometimes with created by using Cave Story's game engine.''

''[[http://www.cavestory.org/forums/index.php?/topic/5866-jenkas-nightmare-now-50-less-awful-2120/ Jenka's Nightmare]]'' started by Mark "shmitz" Major, completed by [=ZarroTsu=] on May 4th, 2014.
* Recommended by @/[=GBAuraRebirth=]
* ''Synopsis'': A fan sequel to ''VideoGame/CaveStory''. Quote, Curly, and Balrog are suddenly transported back to The Island by Jenka, with no explanation beyond "Help me". Quote must once again navigate the Island, but a lot has changed....
* ''Comments'': A very well-made sequel, characterization keeps well to the original story [[spoiler:and follows immediately from the ending of Sacred Grounds]]. Just a small warning, Jenka's Nightmare: Revived (by [=MagicDoors=]) is not this game, they are vastly different from each other. However, that said mod is what drove the creator to rebuild the entire game from scratch because of how much it irked him. If you played that game or saw it on Youtube, you'll probably understand why.
* [[VideoGame/JenkasNightmare Now has a trope page.]]
