The Dog, Untrained
by stonekey
- Recommended by: Edamessiah
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: "I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh. Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says. An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.
- Comments: A mesmerising, haunting exploration of one of the game's lesser-loved characters, with a beautiful halo of optimism that would make ZA/UM proud.
A fan fiction which incorporates characters, events, places, ideas, etc from another fandom.
THE FURY OF A SHATTERED MIRROR by ASpooky
- Recommended by allfictions, Joysweeper
- Crossover with Slay the Princess
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: Two months after the events of the Martinaise case, Harry wakes up far from home in an unknown and unsettling place. He (and all of his Skills) now has to figure out what the hell’s going on and why there’s a Narrator telling him to slay a princess.
- Comments: This is one of those rare crossovers where the two media put together fit just right, as if it had always made sense for them to be part of the same one work. The story takes a simple premise and expands it into a much more deeper one, making unexpected connections between the two works that complement each other and make for an interesting fusion of universes. But beyond the worldbuilding the plot in itself is a well-crafted mystery, equal parts drama as the events bring back Harry's painful past into focus, and equal parts humor as Harry's already crowded head get even more Voices, adding chaos and hilarious banter. The fic is also formatted so that the text to look like DE text and its mechanics, which is an impressive visual feat. Even if someone hasn't played Slay the Princess, the nature of its story and how Harry goes through its plot make it very easy to follow.
