* Crossover with: Manga/{{Summoning Japan}}

* Comments: A surprisingly good Gate fic that takes a different approach to the story by having the Celestials from Marvel take an active interest in events going on in Falmart. The story makes it clear from the beginning that there is nothing anyone in the Gate universe can do to harm the Celestials in the slightest, including the Gods themselves, but the fact that the Celestials are so far above everyone else means that they prefer to study the planet and do a whole bunch of different experiments as opposed to simply slaughter everyone in a gratuitous manner. There's a bit less politicking and fights and a lot more existential wonder/terror as the inhabitants of Falmart struggle to deal with beings who are so far beyond their comprehension.

Comments: This has to be the first fic where the plot of Gate and Summoning Japan are converged into one. The fantasy elements in the story are well-thought-out and feel naturally implemented. Characters are also well-portrayed and livelier. The story captures that Fantasy Adventure feel with Military characters. Moreover, The Author expands the Coda Village section of the Original Gate Canon, turning it into its own story arc.

* Comments: A nice work with good change of canon with a slight of AU. The author did a great jobs on mixing game into the work such as using call sign and other term.
** Tropers/{{Mr Terrorist}}: I have read this fanfic and in my opinion i don't recommend it as the story is bad as it suffers from several things. The "Heroes" of this story are unlikable as their portrayal is less than good guys and more like HeWhoFightsMonsters with a dash of Hypocrisy as the Protagonists like to call out on Empire's barbaric acts yet they themselves beat, torture or kill Empire prisoners. What's worse it can get very {{Anvilicious}} to the point it makes the protagonists UnintentionallyUnsympathetic. Furthermore, the story suffers from ArtisticLicenseMilitary and FanWank where anyone familiar with how the US military works will cringe since the "heroes" does things that in RealLife they would never do like torturing or killing Prisoners of War or how a General has never heard of the phrase "The Enemy of My Enemy is My Ally" and allow his subordinates to treat him like a moron. And worse, the story tries to make both sides dark and edgy which only cause the story to suffer from TooBleakStoppedCaring. All in all, by the time you finish reading it, it will give a bad taste in your mouth. PS: Be warned that if you decide to give a negative review of this fanfic on Fanfiction.net, there is one SmallNameBigEgo fan who loves this fanfic to the point he would go into a rant inducing tirade of colorful name calling and swear words to you because you didn't like it.

* Tropers/{{Coalen42}}: I counter this rec. Despite being good at the beginning, it decreases in quality over time. From the Earth militaries being incompetent to Lelel being OOC to [[spoiler:the Saderans becoming too OP to counter the UN forces.]] Even with that, it fails at many things since the plot never really truly moves forward.

* Recommended by: Selivan

* Summary: What if the GATE opens in a different time, place, world even? A collection of one-shot stories. More info inside the story.
* Crossover with: various works, including ''Franchise/StarWars'' and ''VideoGame/KaiserreichLegacyOfTheWeltkrieg''.
* Comments: In the every story, the Saderans try to invade some historical, alternative historical, or completely fictional (for example, the Empire of the Hand from Star Wars) country or territory, and suffer a more crushing defeat than in original works. Stories include many allusions to historical events and are written with a good sense of humor.

* Status: Dead; Superseded by rewrite (9 December 2019)
* Summary: "War is the motherfucking answer." - Cpl. Josh Ray Person, Literature/GenerationKill. When two off-duty US Army Rangers help Itami during the Ginza Incident, the Rangers become part of a joint US-Japan task-force to explore the Special Region.
* Crossover with: ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine'', though only mildly, as the events of that game happened in the backstory to this fic's universe, and Captain Walker, now Major Walker is a fairly important side character. However, you don't ''need'' to know the story of the game to read this, and it stands perfectly well on its own.
* Comments: A FixFic that gets rid of the novel's Japanese Right Jingoism and anti-American stance of the author by showing how both the US and Japanese forces work together exploring the world beyond Gate and a discussion of a new generation of Americans trying to become Type 1 {{Eagleland}} after the War On Terror finally ended.
** Tropers/SithkingZero: The Gate's opening is pushed back into the 2030s, after the wars in the middle east ended with the destruction of virtually the whole area. This left an enduring impact on the America here, and thus Americans are extremely cautious about the horrors of imperialism and the wars that can result, leading to canon Gate events gaining a new look from those who are watching as Japan marches down an old, bloody path... This isn't to say that the Americans are perfect, far from it. They make mistakes, they get hurt, they die. But it is a tad eye-opening to take a second look at Japan's actions in Gate from the point of view of anti-imperialism.
*** Tikigod784: Gonna have to offer a different point of view for this story. Very little in the plot changes from the source material that much despite the author's attempts to present them differently. If anything, it could be argued that most of the changes in this story are solely for the sake of making it DarkerAndEdgier (the crossover with Spec Ops: The Line comes to mind). It has its' own merits, sure, and the story really shines in regard to the original characters and their backstories, but overall it doesn't change nearly as much as it should. One other thing that people should be warned about is that [=BlueWay=] ALWAYS intended to make the story extremely dark. That's not really the issue I had with the story, but it is something that could turn a lot of people off from this story.

* Status: Complete (18 December 2018)
* Summary: Lance Corporal Jasper Kincaid, USMC, 24, Afghanistan veteran, Gunner aboard the [=M1A1=] Abrams main battle tank. He has one month before his EAS, four years of faithful service about to end. Of course, nothing ever goes according to plan in the Corps, a month long training operation in Okinawa stands in the way of his freedom. Then again nothing ever goes according to plan...
* Comments: Inspired by Manifest Destiny, this fic is also about a joint US-Japan task force exploring the Special Region, though it takes place in 2015 and instead focuses on a group of [=USMC=] tank crew since the author is a former US Marine tank crewman.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11761004/1/ GATE: And thus the Third Reich subjugated]]'' by [=GargleBlaster=]

* Status: Dormant
* Summary: 1939, weeks before the planned invasion of Poland. A Gate opens within Berlin. The Third Reich is shaken by this otherworldly foe. Now the Reich has regained its bearings, now is the time for repayment. Germany will be Groß once more. Rated M for Nazis.
* Comments: Be warned that this story is about the Nazis invading the Special Region. Yet despite this, the main character of this story is rather likable despite the fact he's a member of the SS. Also, this story shows how as a result of the Gate's appearance, Poland was never invaded, preventing World War 2, President FDR does not seek reelection, Churchill does an EnemyMine with the British Fascists to gain some of the spoils from the Special Region with Germany and an alliance against the Soviet Union. Furthermore, [[spoiler:mysterious magical artifacts start to appear on Earth.]]

* Status: Dormant; last updated August 2018
* Summary: In late 1985 the Gate opens in Japan. Upholding the MDT the United States deploys several regiments for the United States Army and the United States Marine Corp. Among them is US Army Specialist Allen O'Hare from the Eigth Cavalry Regiment, US Army Lieutenant Donavan Sinclair from the First Special Forces Group, JSDF Lieutenant Daisuke Kita from the JGSDF First Helicopter Brigade, and US AirForce Captain John Masson from the 318th Fighter Squadron. This is a story of the United States supporting it's ally and redeeming itself after the failure known as the Vietnam War. It is also used as a medium by the author to give the reader a look into how modern Cavalry Formations act both deployed and in garrison.
* Comments: Thought this sort of Fic is common in the Gate section the Author, Karaya2 a United States Army Cavalryman, is making an attempt to world build and diverge from canon. The characters are enjoyable and are well written. From the way, he tells the story is unique and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing where it goes next.
* Some minor vocal quips in this story have been pacing, as noted by several of Karaya 2's reviewers, however, given the author's intricate research, resources, and expertise in the writing of this fanfiction novel. There is little to say that is wrong with this story beyond wait and see. It's a really good read for how short it currently sits, with only three chapters at the moment(circa. November 2016), there are questionable decisions to readers that like their story to stick to vanilla canon, however, in the interest of writing a more original piece, Karaya 2 has produced an impressive story, definitely a step above the rest. Probably one of the greats in this fandom, given time.

* Recommended by: EDP
* Status: Completed , with a complete sequel
* Summary: The Ginza Gate is not the first Gate known to Earth, Italian partisans discovered one in the Italian hills during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII shortly before it closed. After the Ginza Incident the Italian Gate has reopened without anyone else noticing… And the Italians plan to take advantage of it and their knowledge of a link between the Empire and the Roman Empire and deal with the result of a group of SS remaining on the other side back in 1944.
* Comment: Based on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11824831/1/GATE-ANOTHER the script for an unproduced fan film]], it’s an interesting and rather unusual read, concentrating on both the lands outside the Empire and what would happen if the people of the Special Region were to deal with someone both more experienced in international missions and greedier than the Japanese. The main problem is that the author is not a native English speaker, and his writing is somewhat difficult to read.
