History FanficRecs / Dragonball

* ''Synopsis'': ForWantOfANail, Piccolo's defeat at the 23d World Tournament leads him to train much harder than in canon, leading to him being more powerful than Raditz when the alien arrives. This, in turn, leads to Raditz' survival and subsequent reconnection with his brother. Rather than being left in obscurity as a StarterVillain, Raditz takes on a role as one of the guardians of Earth.

* ''Synopsis'': ForWantOfANail. During the battle with Raditz, Goku is injured too greatly to make the ultimate sacrifice in the battle for Earth's fate, leaving the door open for someone else to step in and be the hero. Follow this re-telling of DBZ where the Earthlings are the main focus of the story.

* ''Comments'': If you ever wanted Goku to have his biological family back, this fic is right for you. The story is well written, the plot is engaging, and the author isn't afraid of deviating from canon, since yes, Bardock, Gine and Raditz's presence in the story dramatically [[ForWantOfANail alters how some events develop]], and even if others [[InSpiteOfANail happen in a similar fashion to canon]], [[NotHisSled don't assume anything]]. The author also goes to great lengths to keep the human cast relevant (Chi-chi included, who not only is she [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap much more likeable]] while keeping true to her character, but her friendship with Gine is a joy to read). Overall, a pretty excellent fanfic that won't disappoint.

* ''Status'': Dead

* ''Commentary'': NSFW. Humorous.Chichi lays awake one night contemplating her life as a wife and a mother and suddenly decides to try to smother a sleeping Goku, the strongest being in the universe, with a pillow. Because sometimes married couples wanna kill their spouses. A look into how nearly thirty years of marriage between Goku and [=ChiChi=] still works.

* Synopsis: Bulma, wanting to understand Vegeta better, uses a [folder[Film/TheFly1986 teleportation pod]] to make her a Saiyan, trains with 18 and uses a time machine to travel to Planet Vegeta and proceeds to get stuck there. Forced to work with Frieza ([[YouCantFightFate Not wanting to change what comes later]]) and watch over Vegeta as a child, Bulma gets far more than what she wished for.

* ''Status'': Ongoing
