These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''VideoGame/{{Bugsnax}}'' {{Fan Fic}}s, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

* ''Status:'' Ongoing [[note]]The first two books are done, but the series itself isn't finished.[[/note]]

* ''Comments:'' As you can tell from both the title and the summary, this is a novelization of Bugsnax and a damned promising one at that! Player Shiverquill is a very entertaining and sympathetic Journalist OC and I am genuinely excited to see how things transpire for him and everyone else in this story! The only things you need to be warned of are some curse words, hence the Teen rating.

* ''Comments:'' This is such an adorable story! Not just because of Triffany and Wambus having some cute moments but also because of the little grumpling they find stranded on Snaktooth named Bubbles. The three of them are just SO cute together! However, you need to be warned that while this story is mostly fluffy, the second chapter brings up fertility issues in that Triffany and Wambus can't have biological children. So, if discussions of things like that make you uncomfortable, proceed with caution.

* ''Comments:'' All of her stories aren't anything grand or epic but they don't need to be. Most of them are cute little drabbles centered around a specific character. ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44263405 New Arrivals]]'' focuses on Jamfoot as he struggles with isolation during his time on Snaktooth up until Bronica and Clumby arrive. ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44348017 Intruders]]'' again focuses on Jamfoot as he returns to the Triplicate Space only to find that his stuff has been rooted through. ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44922943 View from the Top]]'' is a cute little story about Clumby and Bronica climbing the Frosted Peak. And finally, we have ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/44922181 Looking In Your Eyes, I'm Coming Home]]'' and ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47398318 Now I Realize, I'm Not Alone]]'', which both center on Floofty and their relationship with their brother. The former is longer than a drabble but still well worth a read!

* Comments: This author almost always knocks it out of the park with their works. Whether it'd be ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29821590/chapters/73371723 With Me]]'' and it's companion piece, ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30169860/chapters/74330262 The Roots We Keep]]''[[note]]The first story focuses on the Cromdo/Wiggle pairing as she helps him run his brand new karaoke bar to attempt to gain some inspiration for a new song, and the second deals with Lizbert and Eggabell back on Snaktooth where Eggabell is struggling with loneliness and so, Lizbert decides to use the various Snaxsqautches found on the island to create clones of their friends to try to help her but as you can imagine, things... go wrong. This is a horror story with romantic elements tied into it.[[/note]], or ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30734858 Dance With Somebody]]''[[note]]which again deals with the Cromdo/Wiggle pairing as they bond during and after dancing at a party[[/note]], ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30812399/chapters/76061828 Floofty Fizzlebean's Guide to Parturiency]]''[[note]]which follows Floofty and Gramble as they attempt to become parents and their trials and tribulations as Floofty goes through the pregnancy, lays the egg and attempts to keep it safe from all of the dangers around it[[/note]] or ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32727325/chapters/81193711 Rendezvous Is A Funny Word]]''[[note]]Which shows Floofty becoming an author and writing risque stories from Beffica's stories of her past that become unexpectedly popular, which unfortunately winds up attracting the wrong kinds of attention.[[/note]], I am certain that you'll find something you like. Their favorite pairings include Filbo/The Journalist [[note]]or "Buddy"[[/note]], Chandlo/Snorpy and Cromdo/Wiggle, though they do dabble in other pairings on occasion. However, '''be warned''' that all of their works are rated either M or E for mature subject matter and/or explicit sexual content. So just keep that in mind and be sure to read the tags.

* ''Synopsis:'' What if... What if, in the post game, there was more to the story than meets the eye? What if, after everything, the Bugsnax remained in the Krew's lives? And, with the one Grumpus who was immune to them, becoming their Queen? An exploration of the lore hidden in the video game Bugsnax; featuring world building, new characters and plenty of mind twisting to be had, grey areas existing at every corner.
* ''Comments:'' Hoo BOY, are these stories something else! The first story, ''Journey's End: The Rise,'' begins right after everyone escapes from Snaktooth until eventually, the Snakolytes kidnap them. Meanwhile, Buddy wakes up back on Snaktooth and is in the care of Liz and Egg now and the three of them have to figure out how they're going to save the others. The second story, ''Journey's End: Aftermath,'' deals with the fallout and aftermath of what happened during ''The Rise,'' with both physical and mental trauma beginning to heal. It contains spoilers for the first story, though, so read at your own discretion. And the third - and thus far, final - story, ''Swirls and Pearls (Project G.A.R.O.B),'' comes long after the events of the first two stories where Gramble comes to Buddy for his sleepwalking issue. The only issue is that the others take notice of what's happening and grow concerned with how... different Gramble appears to be behaving. The first and third stories are still in progress but I'm waiting with baited breath to find out what happens! There are also illustrations for each chapter of the first two stories and the inter-connecting plot is incredibly captivating and will surely keep you on the edge of your seat! Just '''be warned''' that there are potential trigger warnings for each chapter that the author is sure to post at the beginning author's note every new update. So be sure to keep an eye out for those and to read the tags.

* '''Status:''' Ongoing
* '''Pairing:''' Triffany/Wambus, Snorpy/Chandlo, Eggabell/Lizbert, Eggabell/Floofty, Viktir (OC)/Cosmo (OC), [[spoiler:Alegander/Edythy (OC)]]
* '''Synopsis:''' A poor journalist uncovers something they REALLY shouldn't have. Will they even make it out ALIVE?
* '''Comments:''' This is a Bugsnax Horror AU RP Blog about some of the original grumps (i.e. Buddy, Wambus, Floofty, Eggabell, Beffica and Snorpy as well as some other spoiler characters) getting trapped on Snaktooth Island where, instead of the Bugsnax, there's this seemingly sentient goo that turns whoever ingests it insane and basically turns them into zombies. It's as intense and depressing as you can imagine while also being heartwarming and funny at other times so it's not overwhelming angst all the time. However, '''be warned''' that there is body horror and intense torture scenes in this story. So be careful if you're triggered by those things.

* ''Pairings:'' Lizbert/Eggabell & Wambus/Triffany
* ''Synopsis:'' Triffany and Elizabert go spelunking, and Triffany attempts one of the tightest squeezes of the cave they’re in. When she goes down the wrong way and ends up suspended upside down in pitch darkness, she realizes the Lottablog method’s fatal flaw.
* ''Comments:'' As you can probably tell from the summary, this is a horror story based off of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutty_Putty_Cave Nutty Putty Cave incident.]] Terrifying and really does a good job at showcasing just how dangerous spelunking can be.
