* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' Jesse spends 187 days in captivity.
* ''Comments:'' One of the most popular fics for the series, and deservedly so. A tense, haunting look at Jesse's days as a meth slave for Todd and the Neo-Nazis, the story pulls no punches and does an excellent job conveying Jesse's mental deterioration and despair, but never letting go of that one sliver of hope that helps him get through the end.

* ''Synopsis:'' What becomes of a father who's lost his only child? What does he become?
* ''Comments:'' A melancholy character study of Mike Ehrmantraut with an amazing prose that perfectly illustrates his dry, resignated stoicism. Although it was written before [[Series/BetterCallSaul Five-O]], and therefore canon-divergent in some aspects, everything in it feels real and as close to canon as possible.

* Recommended by solfi
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Pairing:'' Walt/Jesse
* ''Synopsis:'' Walt and Jesse's relationship through the eyes of five different people.
* ''Comments:'' From various perspectives, the author paints a clear, thoroughly unidealized picture of Walt and Jesse's relationship and all the dysfunction it entails.

* Recommended by solfi
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Pairing:'' Walt/Jesse
* ''Synopsis:'' Jesse finds himself alone on Christmas. He doesn't take it well.
* ''Rating:'' Mature
* ''Comments:'' A beautifully written study on Walt and Jesse's relationship as it adds on a sexual component piled on top of all the ambiguity, nuance and dysfunction already present, doing an excellent job on both character's voices and thought processes.

* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' Rust Cohle & Jesse Pinkman work on the same seining boat in Alaska.
* ''Comments:'' An introspective fic where (post-Felina) Jesse and Rust cross paths in Alaska and strike an unexpected friendship as they bond over tragic pasts. The prose is marvelously poetic and does a perfect job at capturing Rust's unique speech style and points of view, and the whole story is very moving. Very highly recommended.
