History FanficRecs / Slayers

These are recommendations made by Tropers for LightNovel/{{Slayers}} fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Main/FanficRecommendations here]].

* Comments: This fic has a [[CrackFic cracky]] premise, but it became a FusionFic that transforms canon ([[Franchise/LyricalNanoha of both]] [[LightNovel/{{Slayers}} worlds]]) into something new while also bringing more character development as time goes forward. It is worth a read if given a shot but be warned that it is a {{Doorstopper}}.

* ''Sequel'': ''Nightmares in the Revelations'' (Vanished from the internet. Please post a link if found.)

** The 17th Immortal: Good read overall, but it does suffer from CriticalResearchFailure during the first story: White Magic is not the opposite of Black Magic; Holy Magic is. MST3KMantra may be required.

* Status: Dormant; last updated September 2017

The ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/880315/1/Absolution-Part-I Absolution]]'' series (and prequels) by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/27015/The-Prime-Minister The Prime Minister]]
* ''Recommended by Kilyle (with caveats)''

* Status: Ongoing

* ''Status'': Ongoing

* ''Synopsis'':

** {{thekashif}}: The writing starts off very ametuerish, its not bad but its clear that this was some of his earliest work.

* ''Synposis'': The next generation of heroes meets the newest threat to the world.

* ''Comments'': I rarely if ever like crossovers but this fic is the most hilarious thing I've read in quite a while. the characters are semi-aware of their actual relationshpis/roles. Some more, some less. Reading it for the first time I only had a vague idea of Utena -lots of roses, a prince, everyone is a bishonen- and it was funny even then. Enough to make me watch Utena in the first place and it got only better. I laughed out loud reading this. Only flaw: It's too short.

* ''Synopsis'': Lina and Gourry thought it was just going to be a vacation visiting Lina's family,but disturbing visions and unspeakable tragedy draw the Demon Slayers once more into chaos and death. Rated for Violence, Language, Crude Humor and some lime scented febreez
* ''Comments'': The plot takes a turn to the grim dark side of the non-cannon-but-plausible. Yet despite the world going to hell in a hand-basket(case), the characters you know and love, and xellos, are still the characters you know and love, and xellos.

* ''Synopsis'': a journey into a fantastical landscape in which the Second War of Resurrection has destroyed most of the Earth and its inhabitants, in which Lina, now a 22 year old, copes with humanity's downfall, and in which she manages to pull herself together and launch a new war against the seemingly unstoppable monsters
* ''Sequel'': ''[[http://web.archive.org/web/20011114085439/ Nightmares in]] [[http://www.devoidofthought.com/nir.htm the Revelations]]'' (chapter images are missing but the links still work)

* Crossover with: ''Fanchise/LyricalNanoha''

* Crossover with: ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''

* ''Comments'': The ''[[http://stefangagne.com/slayers/trilogy.html Slayers Reflect, Chaos, and Rebirth]]'' trilogy is amazingly good. It's by Creator/TwoFlower, the same person who did ''SailorNothing'', which might give you some idea of the quality. The characterization is perfect, and the plot starts out simple but quickly becomes more complex.

** {{AnoSa}}: I have to agree, but add a caveat: this predates ''SailorNothing'' significantly, and Creator/{{TwoFlower}}'s writing style is still developing. It's quite good, but it's also very much an early work by an author who has a consistent tendency to improve.

* ''Synopsis'': At the end of the first fic (''Circumnavigation'', mostly a Zelgadis fic), Lina tricks Xellos into doing something that costs him dearly starting at the beginning of the second fic (''Penance'': Xellos has to deal with [[spoiler:being human]]). Having recently run off on her own, [[spoiler:leaving Gourry]], Lina runs into Xellos, and after some waffling drags him along on her adventure, partly to help him [[spoiler:learn to live as a human]]. Their budding relationship runs a rocky course, starting with unrequited love and eventually, after the relationship solidifies, going through a major hurdle when Zelas decides she's had enough and drags him away, [[spoiler:turns him Mazoku again]], and orders him to stay away from Lina (''Reckoning'': Xellos struggles to balance his desire for Lina with his duties to his mistress, while Lina struggles to determine what she really wants from her life). Finally, the four sections of ''Absolution'' deal with Xellos's attempt to repair their relationship and Lina's extreme reactions to the idea of getting tied down to anyone -- especially a Mazoku.

* ''Comments'': If out-of-character portrayals drive you nuts, this fic might make you want to burn something. Almost every character is heavily Flanderized, to the point where I find Lina's characterization utterly repulsive (and since when does "paranoid jealousy" fit usually-oblivious, always-pleasant-and-generous Gourry in the ''slightest''?). The relationships read like a soap opera with a heavily traumatized leading lady who creates drama out of every possible thing, some reasonable but most not. And the EarnYourHappyEnding is marred a bit by said happy ending including a sequence of emotionally traumatizing a major character out of petty revenge, ''after'' said character much earlier proved much more honorable than the leads. '''That being said''', if you want a well-detailed look into Xellos as a loving father, or Xellos and Lina as a mostly-happily married couple (tail end of the series, and it takes ''forever'' to get there), without having Xellos actually become a good guy (just good toward those he actually cares about, live above-and-beyond-the-call-of-duty good), in a story with plenty of drama and some significant action scenes, and the back-and-forth of Xellos [[spoiler:being turned human then Mazoku then human again]] (examining in detail all the problems that causes and all the factors it affects), then this is one tremendous fanfic well worth a shot.
