* '''Comments''': This is the best 2NU (2D x Noodle) story I've read, and I've read my fair share. The author is creative, hilarious, and witty with their writing. There are naughty scenes mixed into a plot filled story filled with twists and turns. The characters are accurately portrayed and Gorillaz is really captured well as a whole.
I laughed and I cried. Really reccomend to anyone looking for a funny romantic melodrama with serious parts mixed in.

Noodle and Murdoc's relationship is very cute, though the fic isn't centered around it at all and there are only some brief moments of them here and there, it's very father-daughter like and is just so sweet. The fic also has moments that dwell into Murdoc's past and even though it's not the main focus of the story, these segments are still incredibly well-written and just so good. The relationship that Murdoc and 2D have here is so realistic, makes so much sense, that if Jamie were to ever make 2Doc canon he may as well just show this fic to the entire fandom and be like "here's your explanation."

* '''Recommended by''': DreamingTraveler.
* '''Status''': Complete.
* '''Pairings''': Murdoc/OC, Russel/OC.
* '''Synopsis''': After the release of ''Humanz'', Murdoc Niccals finds himself creatively impotent and actively withdrawn from the band that's already struggling to hold itself together. One fateful night, his world collides with Cal Rivera's, who faces similar creative demons, and the spark of their companionship breathes new hope into everyone involved. However, the traumatic events of Murdoc's past and his present addictions make it hard for him and Cal to transition smoothly into a mutual future - if one is even in the cards for them.
* '''Comments''': The '''highest''' of recommendations and easily one of the best Murdoc/OC fics. It's a great psychological/romantic drama that explores how ''very'' damaged Murdoc is and what it exactly means to be with someone while having such baggage. Everyone's perfectly in character, including the original characters. Cal is an excellent OriginalCharacter; believable, sympathetic, fun and, most importantly, a ''very'' messy human being. You easily want the leads to get together, no matter how heavy the angst can get.

* Pairings: Murdoc/2D
* Warnings: Allusions to rape and depression, Childhood Trauma, M-rating
* Synopsis: For the past fifteen years, Murdoc Niccals has perfected the art of presenting with just enough charisma to keep outsiders intrigued but also just enough repulsiveness to keep them from ever truly know him. With the tour for their latest album over and done with, Murdoc finds his grip on the rest of his band and himself slowly dissipating as long days make maintaining this protective bubble all the more difficult. Add in an unexpected phone call bearing unexpected news and suddenly that bubble is all but obliterated.
* Comments: This fanfic is one of the best works I've read not just for 2doc, but for the gorillaz fandom in general. The writing quality is like that of an actual book, and the plot is VERY engaging. It gives an interesting perspective on Murdoc's childhood and possibly some closure to the situation.

The author also utilizes there being NoFourthWall by interspersing references to real-world pop culture such as ''Series/SesameStreet'', Music/TheWall and, most prominently, Music/TheBeatles, who are referenced in the title, the chapter titles, and the original character's name. If you STILL aren't convinced, there's also the great appreciation this author shows for their reviewers -- they reply to each and every review and thank all of them by name in each chapter.

* Comments: Very nicely developed and transcribed story about Noodle's trauma after her presumed stay in Hell, the changes every member of the band had undergone and an extremely creepy relationship with the, now nonfunctioning, Cyborg. Considering how rough and undetailed is our factual knowledge about Noodle's personality, this fanfic deals with that perfectly, completely avoiding the Mary Sue stereotype. Admirable job.

* Synopsis: A recreation of "D-Day," which alters from 2D's comatose perspective and Murdoc's bitter perspective while caring for Stu-Pot.
* Comments: A VERY well done retelling of the D-Day incident and the time Murdoc is charged with caring for Stu-Pot afterwards. The interaction on Murdoc's part is completely in character, and the POV as "seen" through 2D is an interesting concept that the author executed beautifully. There's a good humor mixed with some moments that will tug at your heartstrings, especially when the author shows us her interpretations of moments from [[spoiler:2D's childhood.]] Overall, a well-balanced, wonderfully written fic!

* Pairings: None. Isn't that nice for a change?
* Warnings: Rated T for blood and swearing. It gets a tad... brutal toward the end there, but it's no problem, really. Kinda like a horror movie, actually, but better.
* Synopsis: While trying to record ''Music/DemonDays'', strange things start happening. What's wrong with Noodle? Why is she seeing things? What's with all the strange (or rather, STRANGER) things happening at Kong? Where are all these horribly mutilated things coming from...? (Complete!)
* Comments: Can't say too much about what happens without spoiling it all, but it's definitely worth the time it takes to read and then some. Everyone's in character, and it gets so intense you don't want to stop until you're finished! (This is one of those stories that practically BEGS to be read in one go -- believe me, make the time. It's only 11 chapters, and they're not that long.) A story that will truly keep you on the edge of your seat, keep you entertained, and the ending is satisfying. The only complaint I can really see is how the 1st person switches between band members -- but it doesn't really distract from the fic (and I tend to hate 1st person narration), and the fact that [[spoiler:the murderer just wants 2D's hair]] is kinda an [[AssPull asspull]], but it still works wonderfully. Truly a must read. Bonus points for it not being a shipping fic.

* Pairings: Murdoc/2D.
* Synopsis: In this TearJerker of a fanfic, Murdoc plans on kidnapping 2D, but said plans go awry when he discovers that his best mate is dying. Murdoc immediately decides to save 2D, and 2D is too weak to resist any help.
* Comments: Very well-written and realistic. My description does not do it justice; let's just say it's for any 2D/Murdoc shippers who like seeing a gentler side of Murdoc. It's not your typical hurt/comfort fic, however; the ending will probably make you cry: [[spoiler:2D dies in his sleep, his fear of dying alone alleviated by none other than Murdoc; Noodle and Russell are implied to be dead; Murdoc commits suicide.]]

* Pairings: 2D/Noodle.
* Synopsis: A series of exerts throughout phases 1, 2, and 3 highlighting the emergent relationship between 2D and Noodle.
* Comments: An exploration of 2D and Noodle's relationship and how it evolves during the phases. It shows how those two grew closer and were always there for each other. It's also a nice interpretation of Gorillaz' early days, especially in regards of a still-talking-Japanese Noodle and her backstory. I really like how the author respected Noodle's language barrier and found a way to turn it into a character trait. ''The Meaning Of'' is a series of drafts that bring closure to the story, after the hiatus between Phase 2 and 3, and Plastic Beach's messy plot. It's very fluffy and heartwarming, give it a look.

* [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/21274118/chapters/50654222 There Was a Hole Here, It's Gone Now]] by Tchosan
** Recommended by DreamingTraveler.
** '''Crossover with''': ''Franchise/SilentHill''
** '''Status''': Ongoing
** '''Synopsis''': What started as a road trip spirals into a bloody, waking nightmare when Murdoc's car crashes outside Paleville. Stumbling unaware into Silent Hill, Murdoc, Noodle, 2D, and Russel face their demons as the Order stalks them from the shadows, and Claudia's interest grows in one of the newcomers...
** '''Comments''': This is an effective slow burn horror that preys on the ''very'' dysfunctional band members at the center. The tumultuous, familial relationship between Noodle and Murdoc is an additional highlight as they're forced to work together. Harrowing, atmospheric, and worth the read.
