''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22702537 A Hard Fall]]'' by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/Chaos_Elemental Chaos_Elemental]]
* Recommended by: fennric
* Status: Ongoing, with updates twice a week (Mon/Fri).
* Synopsis: The story of World Guardian Teiran, focusing in particular on her relationship with Cyrisus, starting from Dream Mentor and up through the Fifth Age/Sixth Age storyline. "Featuring romance, violence, choc-ice, dragons, tragedy, torture, cursing, goutweed, fate, heartfelt reunions, banana rum, a demon butler, unconventional rescues, vulgar exotic birds, insults to the gods themselves, and an end to all things considered."
* Pairings: [[PlayerCharacter Teiran]]/Cyrisus
* Comments: This fic is one hell of a ride. At the time of writing, it's quickly approaching 200k words and still going strong. It's character-driven first and foremost, and Teiran is someone I very quickly became fond of -- through her earlier slow-burn romance with Cyrisus to the raising of the stakes that comes over time. There's a vast range of tones going on, too: silly romantic shenanigans? Absolute heartbreak? Dramatic battle scenes, flat-out comedy... it's all here. This fic has a way of making you fall in love with Runescape's story all over again, only enhanced by the way it often actively plays with game mechanics rather than skipping over them for realism. Also worth noting that it's the first fanfic ever to have been nominated for a Golden Gnome Award, for "Best Artistic Creation"! Definitely a deserving nominee!



* Comments: I'm not a VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys expert, but man did this fic keep me on my toes. Every time Alcana makes it through, I let out a sigh of relief, and every time a "game" begins, I tense up. One other thing that sets this story apart from the others is the links to the background music for each scene; the author posts links to certain tracks you can listen to for certain scenes, it's meant to enrich your reading experience.

* Comments: The followers of Armadyl are criminally underused and underdeveloped in canon, and this AU does a remarkable job at giving them some much-needed development. While there isn't much characterization to speak of and the focus is on the society and nation that the surviving aviantese build, it's a very well-developed and intricate society, incorporates the floating citadels which were canonically once Armadylean strongholds, and provides a good look into what Armadylean culture might look like.4

* Synopsis: A single-scene fic exploring the emotions of [[spoiler: Trindine]] as they reflect on the past and the present.
* Comments: Just a beautiful oneshot that captures the despair and loneliness of the main character [[spoiler: after you free her from the shadow prison]]. It's simple, poignant, and sweet. Note that it contains high-level Archaeology spoilers!

Let's keep politics out of here, thank you.


** Despite the author's (alleged) "far right" views, he has not brought them up in his writing. An admirable thing, considering those on the opposite side of the spectrum wouldn't hesitate to do so.

Fanfic/MysteriesOfTheHeart by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/RhaegarTargaryen666 RhaegarTargaryen666]]
* Recommended by: AceTrainerAlicia
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: After Xenia's death, [[PlayerCharacter Bryce Stanton]] is forced to contemplate outing himself as a secret Zarosian to his friend and crush, Ariane, for the sake of saving the universe from the threat of the Elder Gods. He eventually decides his best option is to ask permission of Zaros himself to inform a trusted friend, but there's a catch...
* Pairings: [[PlayerCharacter Bryce]]/Ariane
* Tags: DarkFic, DarkerAndEdgier
* Comments: This may not be everyone's cup of tea due to the morally ambiguous AntiHero protagonist, the [[spoiler: rather dark ending,]] and the fact that the author definitely does not shy away from blood and gore--and I'm not generally a fan of DarkFic and had to skip past the gorier bits--but the characters' inner turmoil is compelling and well-done, the romance isn't rushed or forced which is such a breath of fresh air, considering the amount of crappy romances in the literary market today, and Ariane gets some excellent fleshing out as a character. The depiction of [[spoiler: Zaros' loyalty aura]] is also chillingly well done in a way that we never saw in canon.

1. Story by Cyrisus leads to broken link 2. One of these writers is literally a Neo-Nazi.


''[[http://cyrisus.tumblr.com/post/153200918487/to-follow-the-light To Follow the Light, Part One]]'' by [[http://cyrisus.tumblr.com/ Cyrisus]]
* Recommended by: DanjelWhittaker
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: Valeria Auvray, before she was the woman known as Valdemar Endval, before she was the World Guardian, was simply a girl trying to escape her family.
* Comments: An absolutely fantastic look into the backstory of a World Guardian. Deeply moving. I particularly liked the pretentious hypocrisy of the Saradominist minister in [[http://cyrisus.tumblr.com/post/153200918487/to-follow-the-light To Follow the Light, Part Two]], along with Valeria's personality, which fits quite well into the canon personality of the adventurer. The story does contain mentions of severe past child abuse, so be aware.
