Loving Companion Cube [1]
- Recommended by Fostofina
- Several great Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines fics set in the OWOD universe
Gehenna: The Musical by SOI Now
- Recommended by Zenoseiya, Tambov333
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: A lengthy parody of the The Red Sign and Gehenna sourcebooks for Vampire: The Masquerade. Contains tons of in-jokes that only hardcore fans will understand, but there's enough context that anyone can appreciate them. There's also tons of Shout Outs to works like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The best part? It's a musical!
- Pairing(s): Arikel/Absimiliard, Philippe/Cecilia, Hardestadt/Patricia, Troile/Ventrue, implied Beckett/Lucita, Belial->Lucifer.
- Tags: Narm on purpose.
The Saga of the Coffee Machine by Arachne
- Recommended by Tesseract, Tambov333
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: A brief (and very funny) slice of life on a Technocracy construct. Featuring inebriated Void Engineers, confused Men in Black, and Shout Outs to Douglas Adams and Star Trek.
Ley Lines by gre7g
- Recommended by Zenoseiya
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Mage: The Ascension & Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Initially the story of a mage's gradual Awakening, but later segues into his attraction to a young werewolf, despite the distrust of her pack.
- Pairing(s): Alex/Shadow.
- Tags: W.A.F.F., non-explicit sexual references, disturbing vaguely-erotic dreams.
Stories focused on the blending of the World of Darkness with at least one additional setting.
It's All in the Blood by TheLunarWolf
- Recommended by Mac Shimi
- Status: Dormant
- Synopsis: Vampire: The Masquerade & Worm. A crossover/fusion story wherein Taylor Hebert's father reveals that he's better known as Cain. As you'd imagine, there are several changes to events from the original canon, as Cain has limited patience with bullies.
- Pairing(s): Taylor/Emma.
- Tags: Awesome If you're a fan of Vampire: The Masquerade at the upper reaches of power, this story is a delight.
Magestuck: The Ascension by Bluecho4
- Recommended by Anura, Theriocephalus
- Status: Two stories complete, but the series as a whole has not been updated since 2016
- Crossover with: Homestuck and Mage: The Ascension, with minor elements of the rest of the rest of the Old World of Darkness, chiefly Wraith: The Oblivion.
- Synopsis: On his 13th birthday, John Egbert has a series of harlequin-related revelations that turn his worldview upside-down, and in the middle of a freakout he turns into air and floats out the window. Thus begins his journey into the world of Magick (yes with a "k").
- Comments: If Homestuck were written as a Mage: The Ascension chronicle, it might look a lot like this. A near-flawless transplant of the cast into the new setting, and the writing captures a lot of Homestuck's style.
- Seconding this. It's a realy pity that only two stories were ever written, but they're still defintely worth reading — the author does a really good job of mixing the two settings together, and the character writing is excellent.
