Deliver Us From Evil by SnowPrincess88

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew, Joe Hardy/OC
  • Synopsis: Frank and Joe are on assignment in Switzerland to protect a U.S. Senator's daughter against a mysterious stalker. Along the way, they become entangled in a second mystery involving missing artifacts from a nearby monastery. The danger ratchets up, and an unexpected twist in their first case leaves Frank and Joe wondering if they'll actually make it home alive.
  • Comments: Snow sets her tales post-season 2 and wipes season 3 off the map. This one is in progress; Snow takes the "Kathy" character from Scorpion's Sting and does a scary-as-hell rework.

In Excelsis Deo by zenfrodo

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Set pre-pre-season 1. A Christmas party at Mortons' farm turns into terror in the woods, and Frank and Joe Hardy must use all their wits, cunning, and bravery to escape…or be lost forever in the shadowy realms of the Sidhe.
  • Comments: another AU re-imagining, this time showing Frank & Joe as kids.

Spies And Lies aka Subterfuge by Vinsmouse

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Season 2: In the episode Sole Survivor, what if Joe found the perfume spill before Abrams entered the room?
  • Comments: Mouse retakes the infamous Sole Survivor episode and plays the villains smart! Warning: does have graphic violence, including a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on Joe Hardy. As I said, the villains are SMART.

The Cradle Will Fall by SnowPrincess88

  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew, Joe Hardy/OC
  • Synopsis: Pre-season 3; Frank and Joe agree to help Fenton search for a missing, pregnant teen, and soon find themselves involved in a full-scale baby selling ring...with a perpetrator who will do anything to avoid being discovered. Even murder.
  • Comments: Snow sets her tales between post-season 2, and wipes season 3 off the map. Fun read!

Have Gun, Will Murder by SnowPrincess88

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew, Joe Hardy/OC
  • Synopsis: Pre-season 3; the Hardys & Nancy Drew head to an Oklahoma cattle ranch to investigate instances of vandalism, never imagining that what seemed like a such a trivial case could quickly become so violent...and deadly.
  • Comments: A very FUN tale that captures the light, cheesy fluffiness of the show wonderfully. Has some adult sexual themes, but nothing explicit.

The Art of the Heist by SnowPrincess88

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Frank Hardy/Nancy Drew, Joe Hardy/OC
  • Synopsis: Pre-season 3; What was supposed to be an easy trip to Jamaica to apprehend art smugglers, quickly turns violent as new clues lead the Hardys to wonder who's really a friend…and who wants them dead.
  • Comments: Another very fun tale that captures the light-heartedness of the show. Again, adult themes and a lot of sex-teasing, but nothing explicit.

To Wash It White As Snow by JDSampson

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Set post-Season 3. When an undercover assignment goes wrong and Joe is badly hurt, Frank thinks long and hard about his association with the Justice Dept. Then the suspect comes back for revenge and Frank must bear the weight of his brother's blood on his own hands.
  • Comments: JD is a VERY talented writer, taking the series and adding real-world grit to it. For the squeamish: if the thought of being Buried Alive scares the daylights out of you, you may want to give this one a pass.

Liar's Club by JDSampson

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Set post-Season 3. A vacation at the beach turns into a nightmare when Frank and Joe discover that one of their friends is willing to kill in order to expose a liar.
  • Comments: Yet another great story from JD. Mind the warnings: this one's in the Mature section of Fanfiction.net due to its sex and rape themes.
  • Tags: NSFW

House of Cards by JDSampson

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Set post-Season 3. Frank's looking for a change which includes an illicit night on the beach with a girl he just met in Mexico. Unfortunately for him, his dream date turns into a horrible nightmare for him and his whole family.
  • Comments: JD was on a major roll. Mind the warnings: while not explicit, it does deal with the aftermath of a rape/murder.

Voodoo Doll by zenfrodo

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Set season two. The Hardys set themselves as bait to trap a serial killer loose in New Orleans at Mardi Gras, an occult killer using torture & death to raise power - but the killer's real target is much bigger
  • Comments: an AU re-imagining, based on the episode of the same name.

House on Possessed Hill by zenfrodo

  • Recommended by FrankHardysGirl
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Unexplained accidents, missing runaways, murder, child abuse - no one in Circle Hills will admit that evil walks in their midst. But when a mysterious girl begs the Hardys for help, Joe & Frank pit themselves against a cursed house & an angry mob out for blood in a terrifying witch hunt - only to find that nothing is ever what it seems...
  • Comments: like the one above, an AU based on the episode of the same name. Mind the rating & warnings: while not explicit, it does deal with child abuse & molestation.
