* ''Comments'': Very long (enough to have multiple plot arcs), with elements of romance, drama, and quirky humor. The story is ''loaded'' with {{ShoutOut}}s, {{ContinuityNod}}s, and quotable lines. For a story with a rather crackish premise, it takes itself fairly seriously, and gives a lot of attention to individual psychology and character development. There's an AlternateUniverse element in the later chapters. The tvtropes page for it is [[FanFic/{{Stray}} here]] with more detailed information.

*** Fifthted by Tropers/{{gzl5000}}. Hiimdaisy has a knack for distilling catchphrases into their purest, most hilarious form. '''"BRRRRRRROTHER!"''' Add another layer of hilarity by reading Snake's lines in DavidHayter's voice in your head.

{{Peachi}}'s Works

* ''Comments'': This is hands down the most lovingly lore-heavy fic in Metal Gear fandom, full of little details and Easter Eggs that will please long time series fans. It's well-researched, well-written and one of the few fics out there where the [[HoYay Ho-Yay]] shipping elements are actually there to make a point in the plot (although be warned, there are a lot of them). Brilliantly executed on all accounts, this fic feels so close to canon that it's almost like getting a sixth MGS game.

* ''Synoposis'': Basically, the story up to and including the events of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid, told from the point of view of Sniper Wolf.

* ''Comments'': Funny parody of Metal Gear Solid. The author ([[Tropers/DarkGidora DarkGidora]]) is well aware of the FridgeLogic and points out everything wrong. Snake is great here as a DeadpanSnarker, and Roy Campbell is drunk for most of the story (Meaning he now has an excuse for being [[CaptainObvious vague]] and [[StopHelpingMe unhelpful]]).

'''DEADPOOL''': Yeah, ''about'' that. See, we ''kinda'' got into a fight on the internet, and I ''kinda'' tracked him down and... ''kinda'' punched him so hard it broke his glasses. Plus his face.\\

'''DEADPOOL''': Yeah, so ''about'' that... we ''kinda'' got into a fight on the internet, and I ''kinda'' tracked him down and... ''kinda'' punched him so hard it broke his glasses. Plus his face.\\

'''DEADPOOL''': Eh, about that... we ''kinda'' got into a fight on the internet, and I ''kinda'' tracked him down and... ''kinda'' punched him so hard it broke his glasses. Plus his face.\\

''* br-r-rp…br-r-rp br-r-rp* ''

'''SNAKE''': ''[[ContinuityNod This is Solid Snake. Your reply, please.]]''

'''COLONEL''': ''Good, Snake - you're in position. I'm not going to lie to you: this may be the most dangerous mission of your life.''

'''SNAKE''': ''I'm listening...''

'''COLONEL''': ''You'll need to infiltrate the darkest recesses of the Franchise/MetalGear fandom, and retrieve a fic that is actually '''worth''' reading.''

'''SNAKE''': ''[[ParrotExposition Fan...fic?]] You mean those horrible stories about us that nerds with no life like to write?''

'''MEI-LING''': ''That's right, Snake. You need to be extremely cautious in your judgement. Remember what Creator/TheodoreSturgeon said: "[[SturgeonsLaw 90% of everything is crap]]".''

'''SNAKE''': ''Right, SturgeonsLaw.''

'''OTACON''': ''You'll be working alongside a rogue military group known as "The Tropers", who have already amassed a large collection of works.''

'''SNAKE''': ''So what happens if I actually find something I like?''

'''OTACON''': ''You can add it to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Main/FanficRecommendations on the Main FanFic Recs Page]]. You can also expand the notes about the fanfic, or link to similar or related ones. And finally, please, refrain from posting Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage though; that goes in the discussion page.''

'''SNAKE''': ''So, no Administrivia/ConversationInTheMainPage?''

'''OTACON''': ''That's right; all conversations need to go in the discussion page.''

'''SNAKE''': ''Got it. I'm beginning the operation now.''

'''SNAKE''': ''Otacon, what are these "General Fics"?''

'''OTACON''': ''A General Fic is a story focused on the family and/or the various friendly relationships of the cast, like plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. They're pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

'''SNAKE''': ''So..."Snake, Otacon, And Sunny Go To Disneyworld" would be a General Fic?''

'''OTACON''': ''Well, that would be a one-shot. But the category also includes novelizations, and even multi-part epics! Reading is fundamental, Snake!''

'''SNAKE''': ''...''

'''SNAKE''': ''Otacon, what are these..."Shipping Fics"?''

'''OTACON''': ''It's short for "Relationship", Snake. People write them to further expand the romantic (and even erotic) relationships between different members of the cast. It's how love can bloom, even on the battlefield!''

'''SNAKE''': ''It's blooming all over the place. You've got Meryl and me, Meryl and...Liquid, Meryl and...Ocelot? Ocelot and...young Ocelot? Me and...Big Boss?! Otacon, what the hell?!''

'''OTACON''': ''Just be glad you didn't get into the [[CargoShip Metal Gear/Snake fic]]'' --

'''SNAKE''': ''Arrrrrrgh!''

'''???''': Snake, watch out! There are crossover fics ahead. Use a [[SturgeonsLaw Crap Detector]]!

'''SNAKE''': What? Who is this?!

'''???''': Just call me...Debbie Does Dallas. Actually, don't call me Debbie, 'else I'll kill you. Call me Deadpool.

'''SNAKE''': Deadpool...so you're that "merc with a mouth"?

'''DEADPOOL''': Hey - that's "''The'' Merc With ''The'' Mouth", thank you very much!

'''SNAKE''': ...right. Where's Otacon, and how did you get this channel?

'''DEADPOOL''': You ever get one of those urges to break out the old phone directory and start dialing numbers at random to see who picks up? Me neither. I got it out of your gay friend here.

'''SNAKE''': Wha--

'''DEADPOOL''': Anyhoo, listen - crossover fics are where different characters and settings from different universes (franchises, if you want to be boring) are slammed together at high speed to make something that resembles something like either roadkill, or beautiful roadkill - [[DeadPool like]] [[MetalGear us!]]

'''SNAKE''': Enough! Shut up and put Otacon back on, now!

'''DEADPOOL''': Eh, about that...we ''kinda'' got into a fight on the internet, and I ''kinda'' tracked him down and...''kinda'' punched him so hard it broke his glasses. Plus his face.

''(faint moaning)''

'''DEADPOOL''': 'Scuse me a sec. (aside) YOU LIE THERE IN THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID! [[FinalFantasyVII SEPHIROTH]] WOULD ''TOTALLY'' SHIP WITH [[TheSmurfs GARGAMEL]] AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT!

'''???''': Just call me...Debbie Does Dallas. [[Beat]] Actually, don't call me Debbie, 'else I'll kill you. Call me Deadpool.

'''DEADPOOL''': Hey - that's "''The'' merc With ''The'' mouth", thank you very much!

'''DEADPOOL''': Anyhoo, listen - crossover fics are where different characters and settings from different universes (franchises, if you want to be boring) are slammed together at high speed to make something that resembles something like either roadkill, or beautiful roadkill - [[Deadpool like]] [[MetalGear us!]]

'''DEADPOOL''': Eh, about that...we ''kinda'' got into a fight on the internet, and I ''kinda'' tracked him down and...''kinda'' punched him so hard it broke his glasses. [[Beat]] Plus his face.

'''DEADPOOL''': 'Scuse me a sec. (aside) YOU LIE THERE IN THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DID!
'''SNAKE''': Good, now would you please put Otacon back on?

'''SNAKE''': Come in, this is Snake.

'''???''': Alright, Snake. This is Deadpool.

'''SNAKE''': ? Deadpool? What happened to Otacon?

'''DEADPOOL''': Hey, Take it easy, Snake. I just wanted to tell you about crossover fics. Essentially, they're when people write fanfics that have characters from several different franchises interact with each other.

'''SNAKE''': So, it would be something like Me [[UltimateShowdownofUltimateDestiny versus]] Franchise/{{Batman}} or something like that?

'''DEADPOOL''': Sure, something like that.

'''SNAKE''': So, it would be something like Me [[UltimateShowdownofUltimateDestiny versus]] {{Batman}} or something like that?

'''SNAKE''': ''So, no ConversationInTheMainPage?''

* ''Comments'': Has several scenes that are very funny, and is overall an excellent fic. However, it does borrow a ''lot'' from LastDaysOfFoxhound, including a few things that were jossed by MGS4.
