Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

Lirenel has a beautiful way with words and with the characters. Particularly good ones include Easter Whisperings, Christmas Whisperings and Terror Gold but any and all of her works are marvelously written.
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.Bound By What You Are, by Claira

Status: Complete
Synopsis: A solid, thoughtful story of the Pevensies in Narnia. Susan wants to prepare for war, but Peter is less than convinced.

Status: Complete
Synopsis: A Fix Fic of the highest caliber for Susan Pevensie, who, after the death of her siblings in The Last Battle, decides enough is enough already, and takes her fate into her own hands.
Synopsis: Edmund, now 17 and King of Narnia is haunted by the ghost of Jadis and is forced to play a series of games for his soul. The trouble is neither of them are sure exactly what the stakes are, or which part of the game is the one that matters.
Synopsis: What if Lucy had decided to go across the gorge when she saw Aslan, regardless of whether her siblings came with her? At least she won't be alone…and it is not just Aslan who joins her…
Synopsis: Relating the story of King Edmund's first diplomatic success, how he learned a craft, and why his older brother is known throughout the Black Dwarf clan as Nancy.
Synopsis: Once a King or Queen in Narnia, always a King or Queen in Narnia. Anxious to fit in, Susan Pevensie suppresses her memories of Narnia as she grows older, even after the train crash that leaves her alone in the world. Then a Christmas present and a dream bring renewed meaning to her shattered life. A moving fic which provides a less, well, horrific response to Neil Gaiman's "The Problem of Susan".
Synopsis: (from FFN) In the summer of the Dawn Treader, Aslan tries to get Peter's attention. But, it's all Greek to Peter as he studies with Professor Kirke and meets unusual people who seem vaguely familiar. Part 1 of The Stone Gryphon series.
Synopsis: An ongoing series, but each story is complete and there are no cliffhangers. Movie-canon. The series offers an amazing look at what it would mean to have the memories of feudal warrior-kings and -queens, but inside a young body in mid-20th Century England.
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.Skies of Couple-Color, by Brown-Betty
Recommended by Roach Patrol
Status:
Pairing(s): Peter/OC
Synopsis: A sweet, meandering fic about Peter growing into his role as High King of Narnia, and his developing friendship with Oreius, the chief centaur.
Synopsis: Back in England Susan grows up being reasonable rather than silly. But the course of history has already shifted and the Pevensie children are doomed to their train wreck. Aslan grants Susan a second chance at the life she never had in Narnia.
Synopsis: Oneshot, another way of answering "The Problem of Susan". Or, in the author's words: "[a]n attempt to reconcile movie canon with book canon, and also to clear up a few distressing aspects of the latter." Highly recommended.
Synopsis: Bookverse. A slashy version of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. This is hands down the best Edmund/Caspian fic I've read, as it delves in detail into the emotions and convictions of the characters, emphasizing their difficulty to communicate. It is very in-character, and the author isn't afraid to show their internal conflicts rather than injecting external angst. The emphasis on age difference may not appeal to all. Long.
Synopsis: When he was a boy, he dreamed of paved streets and electric lights. When he was a young man he dreamed of bats and vengeance. And when he was an old man, he dreamed of apple trees and lions. Batman crossover.
