Broken Bow
by Davner
- Recommended by Sackett
- Synopsis: This delves deeply into the older Norse mythology that underlies Ah! My Goddess. Particular focus on Urd.
- Comments: More serious than the Original Flavor. Has prequels that focus on Belldandy.
Wrath by Davner (AU)
- Recommended by Sackett
- Synopsis:
- Comments: An Evil Belldandy = scary.
Timidity by Davner
- Recommended by Sackett
- Synopsis: "As a young valkyrie, Lind is given the mission of defending a young cavalry officer, but the arrival of a love god with his own mission complicates matters, forcing Lind to choose between her mission and her heart."
- Comments: Start of a nice Lind story.
Trial By Tenderness by Cevn
- Recommended by Sil X
- Synopsis: A Self Insert Fic which this troper knows to be one of the single longest pieces of written fiction ever (1.9 million words and counting). Complete with Humor, Romance, Drama and Lots of Esoteric Jargon.
- Comments: Have a dictionary at your side at all times.
Amants by Davner
- Recommended by Sackett
- Pairing: Belldandy/Keiichi
- Synopsis: Focuses on giving Peorth a Dark Fic, while Belldandy and Keiichi get the B plot.
- Comments:
Patiently by Davner (AU-divergence)
- Recommended by Sackett
- Pairing: Belldandy/Keiichi
- Synopsis: What if Belldandy had had to actually return to heaven?
- Comments: Belldandy and Keiichi focused, with Original Flavor in a slightly divergent universe.
Haloes by Davner (AU-divergence)
- Recommended by pr0pms
- Pairing: Urd/Keiichi
- Synopsis: Belldandy has been sealed by Hild, now ten years later she's back and looking for Keiichi...
- Comments: In progress. An Urd and Keiichi focused fic that makes the relationship work very well without derailing any of the characters. Closer in tone and style to Scordatura than much of his other work but with enough plot to make it work as a longer piece.
Scordatura by Davner
Onegai, Megami-Sama! by
MusedMoose (Crossover, Continuation, Complete)
- Recommended by Stratagemini
- Pairing: Peorth/Matagu
- Synopsis: Belldandy isn't the only Goddess granting wishes, when Matagu Shido dials a wrong number and Peorth answers, he knows what his wish is. But things almost never go as they're supposed to, especially around goddesses, demons, and half-aliens. Complete!
- Comments: A brilliant Crossover which manages to combine two series with very similar flavors Onegai Teacher and Oh My Goddess into one the best examples of a Fan Fic of either series.
Gods Willing by
Eyrie Productions Unlimited
- Recommended by Looney Toons
- Pairing: Belldandy/Keiichi; according to the authors other couples were planned, but the story never got far enough to implement them
- Synopsis: Keiichi makes phone call, gets goddess, gets thrown out of his dorm, finds new place to live. Same as the original, right? Nope. Not when he's attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts instead of Nekomi Tech, and his new home with Belldandy happens to be an apartment rented by college students Gryphon and Megazone...
- Comments: Mid-1990s-vintage EPU trademark self-insert series that got only two installments out in four years before the story's muse cut and run. Not quite as polished as their modern work but still very good in this editor's opinion. While the first chapter is a fairly standard retread of the opening of AMG, it's in the second chapter, "We'll Always Have Boston", that the EPU creative team really shines — in a plot that barely winks at a canon inspiration, Gryphon and Urd team up to rescue Belldandy from Aoshima, who has spirited her off through Boston on false pretenses in order to seduce her and steal her from Keiichi. Definitely worth the read, and mourn that we never got to see more. (Oh, and there are minor crossover elements with Youre Under Arrest, which were obviously hooks for future stories.)
Hell Is A Martial Artist by Ozzallos (Crossover with
Ranma ½)
- Recommended by Looney Toons
- Synopsis: Hild, the supreme ruler of Hell, has found a new plaything in a gender-cursed martial artist from Nerima. Ranma Saotome has found an apparent ally and refuge in a strange "magical girl lawyer". But when Urd accidentally prompts a deepening of their friendship to levels unexpected by either, the nature of the game changes for both.
- Comments: Certainly a unique fic in is choice of protagonists and in the execution of their relationship — this is in no way a shipping fic (at least so far). Currently six parts and still going strong — the latest and largest chapter was posted in late April 2009 — and Ozzallos has left the story at a point that could go anywhere. (Be warned, though, that given all his other projects, future updates may be months in coming.) As with anything by Ozzallos, the text is rife with word choice and spelling errors but (as usual) the strength of his narrative can carry a reader past the textual problems.
- Shay Guy: Also as with anything by Ozzallos, this fic exists to girlify Ranma. The man is skilled, but obsessed.
- Looney Toons: Perhaps so, but he's going about it with considerable subtlety — six chapters and so far Ranma's only basically said, "yeah, despite what I used to think, being a girl can be fun sometimes." And more interesting is the role and motivation that're developing — it looks like Ranma is going to willingly be a surrogate daughter for Hild (and Hild a surrogate mother for him, equally willingly) because neither can get what they need from the members of their real families. I find that a whole lot more interesting (plot- and characterization-wise) than the usual "Transgender power make-UP!" you find in a typical Fuku Fic.
