- Synopsis: The year: 2040. The place: Kaanapali, Maui. The occasion: the 30th annual Indie House amateur horror film fest. Chief ME Lucas Wahl is taking a well deserved vacation to showcase some of his amateur films and catch up with fellow horror nerds when he runs into an old, old friend. Funny how Henry Morgan doesn't seem to have aged a day. More importantly, though, he's a mess. Immortality's really cool, but friendship is more important.
- Comments: So far, this is the best and most unique take I've seen on a 'reveal fic' for this fandom. There's some really interesting introspection on Lucas's character, both past and future, and I really like this take on how he might have developed as a person had the series continued. His perspective allows for a very different take on Henry's character.

Star Wars Forever by PinkElephant5
- Recommended by: Marcus S Lazarus
- Status: Complete.
- Synopsis: A bizarre crime scene points Jo and Henry to a killer obsessed with Star Wars—not that Henry has ever seen Star Wars.
- Comments: Post-reveal fic where Jo is amused to for once be dealing with a case where Henry doesn't know everything about the subject matter, as they face a highly original crisis in the form of a deranged serial killer inspired by the Star Wars films.

- Pairing: Henry Morgan/OC, Henry Morgan/Jo Martinez
- Synopsis: When Claire washes up naked in the East River claiming someone tried to kill her, the cops think she's mad or attention seeking. But when Dr Henry Morgan hears her story, he knows she's altogether something different. When the bodies of women begin washing up along the East River, Dr Morgan knows he'll need Claire's help to find their killer. After all, she was his first victim.
- Comments: A superficially simple case becomes far more fascinating when Henry meets the third immortal, her immortality just 'activated' after she was the first victim of a serial killer, resulting in the two of them having a brief but passionate relationship before Claire moves on to find her own life and Henry admits the truth to Jo.

- Synopsis: Two bodies. Two murders, but they're connected. One body is in the jurisdiction of Castle and Beckett and the other Henry Morgan and Jo Martinez. They have to work together to find the killer. What could possibly happen when these two sets of partners join forces?
- Comments: Simple blend of the two shows, but an interesting case.

- Synopsis: A Forever crossover in my original "Guardians of Shangri La" Castle Universe. When Henry and Jo are facing one of the toughest cases of their lives, they get help from some unexpected places. PRIMARILY A FOREVER STORY. Castle characters (especially the Guardians) will be mostly support, at least at the beginning. Heavily involves one of my major original characters (Katya).
- Comments: Part of a wider series by the author, but some interesting work nevertheless, incorporating Henry's immortality into the wider mythology of the author's work while giving Henry and his allies some interesting moments (such as when Jo realises that Abe isn't that worried about Henry's body having vanished and Abe awkwardly observes that he's never died this publicly...
Forever Doctors by DoctorAsh42
- Recommended by Marcus S Lazarus
- Crossover: Doctor Who
- Status: In-Progress
- Synopsis: The TARDIS lands in New York City in the early 21st Century, where the Eighth Doctor and Lucie find themselves caught up in a murder investigation. With alien technology as the cause of death, who or what is the culprit? Along for the ride are a no-nonsense NYPD detective named Jo Martinez and a well-dressed, eccentric and mysterious medical examiner named Dr. Henry Morgan...
- Comments: A superb blend of both, not least because it uses elements from the audio adventures rather than relying exclusive on the TV series, as the Eighth Doctor and Lucie Miller deal with Daleks in New York (more specifically, Daleks from the Time War dealing with a pre-War Doctor) and Henry experiences a truly new death for the first time in years.
