* ''Synopsis'': [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The name says it all, really]]: Everyone's favorite comic book [[SamandMax Freelance Police]] are called in to take care of everyone's favorite comic book [[JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac serial killer]]. Rated PG for good, clean cartoony bloodless violence and comic book swear symbols.

''Elements/Characters of another author's work take up an equal space. Or not, given the mutual fandom of [=JtHM=] and [[InvaderZim IZ]]''

* Crossover with ''InvaderZim'' (hardly alone)

* ''Tags'': Crossover with WesternAnimation/InvaderZim

''[[http://www.ladyyatexel.com/swanmain.html Song Without A Name]]'' by Lady Yate-xel
* Recommended by Roach Patrol
* ''Pairing'': Eventual Nny/Edgar. Don't remember who Edgar is? Don't worry, he was a one-shot character from the second issue that has a freakishly large fanbase.
* ''Synopsis'': ''Song Without A Name'' is, to put it bluntly, a Highschool AU in which the characters of ''JTHM'' are largely gay and form a rock band.

* Recommended by RoachPatrol

* ''Comments'': It's by Lady Yate-xel. It's got 20 chapters and a sequel in the works, and is actually a thoughtful, meticulous, witty, character-driven epic (though you'll still feel a little embarrassed if anyone sees you reading it).

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3665920/1/Squees_Fantastical_Field_Trip_of_DOOM Squee's Fantastical Field Trip of DOOM]]'' by WTFWonder
* Recommended by Marlee Cross
* ''Synopsis'': Squee's class is going on a field trip to the zoo. Guess who volunteers to chaperone?
* ''Commentary'': The updates are impossibly irregular and the fic may very well be dead, but it deserves mention for being SO DAMN CLOSE to Jhonen Vasquez's style that he might as well have written it himself. The fic is also technically a crossover as [[InvaderZim Zim, Dib, and Gir]] all appear.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2126837/1/A_Very_Spoooky_Halloween A Very Spoooky Halloween]]'' by TheExitDoor
* Recommended by PurplePantherGirl, Earthbound God

* ''Commentary'': Actually very well written and great fun to read. Very close to Jhonen Vasquez's style.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1252039/1/Sam_Max_vs_Johnny_the_Homicidal_Maniac Sam & Max vs Johnny the Homicidal Maniac]]'' by QuestionTheMajority

* ''Commentary'':A Hilarious read and manages capture both Jhonen Vasquez's and Steve Purcell's writing styles.

* ''Commentary'': A fairly epic read that features many [[OriginalCharacter OCs]] that tell the story instead of stealing it, Johnny with one of the most over-the-top backstories yet, and one of the most Adorkable weddings that could actually be applied to said peculiar love story that doesn't eat up the plot. Which consists of action, realistic survival, decent people, [[InvaderZim cross]][[Ben10AlienForce overs]], and a rather convenient multi-level basement. Best of all? Try pinpointing the exact moment non-derailing CharacterDevelopment takes hold. ''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Try.]]''

''[[http://ashido.com/igtky/igtkyfanfics.htm Vargas]]'' by Zarla (AU, gets slashy later on.)
* Recommended by {{Shaon}}

* ''Comments'': In progress forever, ''Vargas'' does an excellent job at expanding the character of Edgar and even seamlessly introduces Scriabin, an OC who has become a popular part of fanon. This troper also recommends a sidestory to ''Vargas'', ''[[http://www.ashido.com/igtky/diary.html Violation]]'' and its sequel, ''[[http://www.ashido.com/igtky/hospital1.html Convalescence]]'' which serve as a sort of makeshift epilogue for those too impatient to wait another year for the next chapter to be posted.
** This troper disagrees, I found that after the first couple chapters that the story seems to go no where and just focuses on Edgar's life. Especially the OC, Scriabin, becomes more JerkAss and the story takes a more Scriabin/Edgar feel to it.

* ''Commentary'': This is a slow burn Nny/Devi fic (as there's really no other way to go about this pairing) that also takes a look at other characters such as Squee and Tess.

* ''Commentary'': An amusing little One Shot that perfectly captures Johnny's [[{{Adorkable}} canon personality around Devi]], before things went so far South. You will [[FunnyMoments laugh]], you will {{Squee}}, and you will FacePalm.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3558377/1/Little_Red_Letter Little Red Letter,]]'' ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4036980/1/Never_Forgive_Me Never Forgive Me,]]'' and ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4783701/1/Spiderfly Spiderfly]],'' a trilogy by Jynx'sbox. ''Extremely'' dark and full of squick (of course, anyone who is into Johnny the Homicidal Maniac can't mind some gore.)

* ''Comments'': One big, long, bloody, mindscrew. It can't be properly described without spoilers, but know that it is set while Squee is still a child, and the first thing he does is [[spoiler: kill his parents. Brutally.]] Yet this is not a revenge fic. Just read it. It is well written, and updated regularly.

* ''Comments'': Takes a rather familiar bit of [[EpilepticTrees Fan Theory]] ([[spoiler: Johnny originally being Dib]]), while making the reader ask, "What ''happened''?" Our favorite maniac's own quest for answers soon spirals it into a [[TooGoodToLast far too short]] tale of epic-ness that seems to be tying up every last loose end from both series--as a side effect. Plus, [[HilarityEnsues Nny stuck with GIR]].

[=[[reviews:MyImmortal]]=]

Pretty self explanatory for a work like this.

* ''Comments'': It's by Lady Yate-xel, and swear to god, it's fantastically BetterThanItSounds. It's got 20 chapters and a sequel in the works, and is actually a thoughtful, meticulous, witty, character-driven epic (though you'll still feel a little embarrassed if anyone sees you reading it).
