Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexually explicit or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2683292/chapters/6001958 The Scars of Utopia]] by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/950709/CaliforniaStop CaliforniaStop]]
* Recommended by: Madame_Newbie
* Synopsis: Camille Adler, a secretary at Fontaine Futuristics, feels trapped in the city of opportunity. When the chance comes to move onto bigger and better things, she takes it; she soon realizes, however, that living out her Rapture dream comes at a heavy price. (A repost of the original. About halfway through this became a collaborative piece with [=LetsSingtheDoomSong=].)
* Comments: A novel-length fiction featuring Camille Adler, an OC who works for Fontaine. The author has captured Rapture vividly in her writings. She has managed to portray everyone close to canon and despite the addition of an OC, this fic still stays true to the game's original timeline. It's brutal but honest and a very good read.

* Comments: An alternate universe with good fluffy portions and good tense plot portions. All the little sisters and townsfolk get really interesting characterization as well.

* Comments: One of the best fic I ever seen for the whole "Atlas-is-real" AU. Take place during an AU Bioshock 2, (and I recall seeing mentioned somewhere in author notes that it uses cut game content to fill in the story)
The introspection is beautiful and you really get attached to this Atlas.

* Comments: I don't know, I just really like the writing style and storytelling of this one. The author nails the attitudes of pre-Fall Rapture citizens, and the use of period slang really helps the setting an story. Plus, the relationship between Denton and his Little Sister(s), explored in more depth than just protector/protected, is really [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming sweet]]. Even if, towards the end, there is quite a lot of reference BodyHorror and general-purpose creepiness.

Notable for taking place in a Rapture analogue that's not quite as far gone, so while life there is still brutish and nasty, some of the people there still manage to live mostly ordinary lives outside their crippling magic drug addiction and the main character isn't all alone there. Characters manage to be complex and fully realized, and action is interspersed with political intrigue and espionage.

* Relationships: Elizabeth/Booker
* Synopsis: Rather marvellous AU where Booker is an older teen from the 2010s and ends up on Columbia by accident instead of design, he still gets drafted by the Lutece's to save Elizabeth but there are changes because of his situation, one of which is that he and Elizabeth are NOT related in this fic, includes all the snark you'd expect a teenager to use when dealing with the situation, and the surprise about ''how'' Elizabeth gets her powers in this fic flow quite well with the previous games canon.
