History FanficRecs / CalvinAndHobbes

* ''Synopsis'': '''Folie a deux''': a psychiatric syndrome in which symptoms of a delusional belief and sometimes hallucinations are transmitted from one individual to another. Reality has always been a slippery thing for Calvin Watterson. And madness has always lurked within a certain girl he has the misfortune to target with a snowball one winter day.

* Comments: To date, I think this is the best Calvin and Hobbes fic ever written. The plot is hilarious, the cast is completely in-character, and it even [[spoiler:has [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Calvin and his Dad really bond for once]].]] If Calvin and Hobbes had lasted into the information age, I can picture Watterson writing something like this.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/10404877/ Spinning Through Space]]'' by TheBigCat
* Recommended by SuperSlayer998, CaptainColdCutCliche

* ''Synopsis'': Traveling through time and space in a cardboard box, with a boy and his tiger. "Well," mused Rose Tyler. "I doubt my life would be any more interesting at home, so... why not?" A crossover, of sorts.
* ''Comments'': Although it does say it's a slight crossover, it's more like a fully rewritten version of Season 1 of Series/DoctorWho, with the Doctor being Calvin and Hobbes at once. It works. Really well. Also, Rose is more kick-ass in this version, so Rose fans will love it. It looks like the author is planning to write the whole of the new series, so this will go on for a while.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2048837/ Reminiscence]]'' by Kenya Starflight
* Recommended by @/{{Solandra}}

* ''Synopsis'': Calvin may never age in the comics, but ''Reminiscence'' has him grow up and experience the joys and sorrows of life beyond childhood, moving away from its whimsy and magic.
* ''Comments'': Despite this FanFic being about Calvin moving away from the major charm of the comic, the story works. His life beyond childhood is portrayed as challenging and wonderful in its unique way, and the ending hints that [[spoiler:the childhood magic will never really be dead for someone like Calvin]].
** Recommendation seconded by @/{{Vifetoile}}. This fic is very well-written. It hits all the right notes, and in just the right ways. The emotion is adeptly handled without descending into sentimentalism, and the end is... well, perfectly heartwarming.

* Recommended by @/{{Assassin}}
* ''Status'': Dormant
* ''Synopsis'': Calvin is a psychology major at NYU. Despite his maturity, he still acts as he does during childhood, as evident in that Hobbes is living in his dorm. He notices his old nemesis, Susie Derkins, has transferred to the university, piquing an interest to catch up with an old friend. [[spoiler:Susie herself ponders why she can sometimes see a live tiger in Calvin's room...]]
* ''Comments'': A lighthearted series that still retains the silliness of the old comics while putting our now mature, at least a little, protagonists in the college setting.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4607078/ A Tiger, a Diary, and a Treehouse]]'' by Zamael
* Recommended by @/{{Potman}}

* ''Synopsis'': Set a couple of years after the comics, when Calvin and Susie are still mortal enemies. The story sees them visiting each other's rooms (at the same time,) and learning new things about the other one, [[spoiler:all the while unleashing infernal plots against their respective mortal foes]].
* ''Comments'': Well written, all characters almost perfectly in character, and reading it feels like reading the comic once more. Maybe those [[spoiler:Xanatos Gambits they have going on]] are a tad complicated for a kid of that age, but then again, we know that both Calvin and Susie are very smart indeed.

* ''Synopsis'': Hobbes is changing.
* ''Comments'': A bittersweet story about Calvin growing up and how it affects Hobbes. A real tearjerker.

* Recommended by @/TheOtakuNinja

* ''Synopsis'': What happened after the last strip? A different view on Calvin's future. Now added, Chapter 2 - Lost Souls. An unexpected sequel.
* ''Comments'': A sweet two-part fic (one focusing on Calvin and the other on Hobbes) about what (as the synopsis states) might have happened after the last strip. And the author adds in an OC of sorts, based off a childhood stuffed animal, giving a personal touch to it. And is leave us with the theory that [[spoiler:Calvin ''is'' Bill Watterson, writing down his own childhood adventures]].

* Synopsis:After narrowly avoiding summer school in a heavy-handed boot camp, Calvin begins to research this supposed place of reform... only to find a conspiracy devoted to barbaric ideology. Dark, and ranty against abusive boot camps and abusive adults.
* Comments: One of the best Calvin and Hobbes fanfics I've ever read. It's quite dark and it definitely deserves its "M"rating, but it's very beautifully written.

''Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.''

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5731071/1/Peggy_Susie Peggy Susie]]'' by Eliezer Yudkowsky

* ''Pairing'': Calvin/Susie
* ''Comments'': It probably isn't possible to write a dark, edge-of-your-seat thriller more reminiscent of Terminator 2 than Calvin and Hobbes and still maintain perfect characterization, all the while creating a moral dilemma that would do a professional philosopher proud. This doesn't prevent Eliezer from trying, and I believe he's succeeded pretty well.
** @/{{jaimeastorga2000}}: I loved this one, but it doesn't really work if you already know who the characters are... it ruins the twist ending.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/186546/1/Spaceman_Spiff_and_the_Marraige_of_Doom Spaceman Spiff and the Marriage of Doom]]'' by Joe Cloudheart

* ''Pairing'': Calvin/Suzie
* ''Synopsis'': A series of vignettes in Calvin's life, weaving in and out of his famously overactive imagination, as he falls in love with Suzie Derkins.
* ''Comments'': A superbly written Calvin/Suzie romance written in a style that captures the imagination and wonder of the original comics.

* ''Pairing'': Calvin/Jason Fox, from ''FoxTrot''
* ''Synopsis'': Jason and Calvin are in college, each dealing with their isolation differently.
* ''Comments'': Just a gloriously sweet and sexy series of stories. The first one is the longest, but there's a round dozen drabbles about the two.
