* Recommended by Null
* ''Status'': Ongoing
* ''Synopsis'': Before James can leave the home he and Mary shared behind for good, there are wrongs to right and memories to unearth. Contained within is one last snag: what is he supposed to do with Laura? Set directly after the Leave Ending, but contains heavy implications of In Water.
* ''Comments'': Pretty well done continuation fic, with the author's portrayal of James' deteriorated state deserving credit. The pacing can be slow, but the atmosphere generated by the flashbacks to James' life before and during Mary's illness is fairly strong; with the elaboration upon his relationship with his father standing out in particular. The interaction with Laura and visceral flasbacks to the ordeals of Silent Hill itself really help this piece feel like a tangible expansion on the game's characters and scenario, rather than either a tired re-iteration or disconnected vignette.''

* Recommended by {{Manifest}}
* ''Status'': Ongoing - interactive comic.
* ''Synopsis'': Your name is Vanessa Sunderland. Three years ago, your uncle's wife died, and soon after, he disappeared into the depths of Silent Hill. No one's heard from him since. But tonight, you got a phone call. It was garbled, but you know it was him. He's there, in Silent Hill. And you intend to find him.
* ''Comments'': Using a storytelling method modeled after the interactive comic 'MS Paint Adventures: Problem Sluth', this fancomic/story is a wonderfully unique way to capture the tone and the deep twistedness of the original Silent Hill games, all while screwing with the head of the reader/participant. It continues the story of Silent Hill 2 with an original female protagonist, borrowing enough details to put it firmly in Silent Hill 2's verse while being its own storyline. It also "plays" like a game, with an inventory, map system, and even [[spoiler: game overs]]. In typical Silent Hill fashion, the symbolism plays a huge part in the narrative; as you delve further into the story, it becomes clear that something is not quite right with your protagonist. All in all, it's a great comic with a riveting story that stays true to the game itself.

** Seconded very much. I stayed up much later than I should finishing the fic, though the fic really isn't all that long. It's got a very strong tone and atmosphere, and while the read is very depressing you can't seem to look away. It's a very melancholy piece of work, but that makes the tentative happy ending all the sweeter. It should be noted that James/Laura is an odd bit of an relationship in that I'm not sure this fic should go under shipping or perhaps family/friendship. It's strongly implied at the beginning that James is attracted to Laura, which is part of the reason why he struggles with allowing her to be part of his life. [[spoiler: It's outright confirmed in the next to last chapter that Laura loves James romantically, though it's unclear whether this has developed from her never having anyone else and sort of attaching to him as a guardian(?) and lover or if it's a genuine thing. James himself tells her that her love is a lie, but that might be his refusal to move on with anyone but Mary, and the fact she's just too young and "too good" for him.]] The ending is open to interpretation, and the idea that they get together is implied pretty vaguely. The ultimate thing is that their happy together, and they'll be happy just being together(whether this is romantic or familial). It's also worth noting that their relationship is handled very very beautifully and is very much worth the read.

* ''Comments'': This is a brilliant piece of ''Silent Hill'' fanfiction and a superb horror story, the closest thing to an "original" ''Silent Hill'' novel one is likely to find. Highlights include a original version of the series' iconic DarkWorld, a wonderfully human protagonist, and the most extensive picture of past and present Silent Hill I have ever seen. Admittedly rather slow to become established and begin the story, but once it does it grabs hold of your face, smashes it against the screen and only releases you long enough to go to the next chapter. A word of note, however: this story has a very strong (some would say {{Anvilicious}}) anti-abortion message that [[YourMileageMayVary some tropers]] felt made it nearly impossible to read.

* Recommended by @/BearyScary
* ''Pairings'': James/Laura, Henry/Eileen
* ''Synopsis'': Post Leave ending. After James is convicted of murder and sent to prison, his future doesn't look so bright. Then, a decade later and a year after his release, an old friend comes back to pick up the pieces.
* ''Comments'': This is simply a sublime piece of SilentHill2 ContinuationFic. It doesn't have James returning to Silent Hill or anything like that, but ''There She Goes'' is transcendentally OriginalFlavour in terms of human drama. I defy any fan of the game to not immediatly relate to James' new trials; it's hard not to read his dialog in the voice of his original VA, Guy Cihi. While it uses the game's most "ideal" ending as a jumping-off point, James' life is hardly wine and roses as he attempts to reintegrate himself into society, while making as few personal connections as possible. The story's ending taps into the possibly AccidentalAesop of the original game - that you ''can'', and more importantly, ''should'' move on from tragedy and live life on your own terms, at your own pace.

* Reccomended by {{twilightscribe}}
* ''Pairings'': Walter/Henry ; later James/Pyramid Head and HeatherValtiel
* ''Synopsis'': Embracing Death is the first in a long series of fics that go from an alternate ending of the fourth game as imagined by the author. It's a beautifully constructed series that better fleshes out some of the characters and does them justice; especially since it explores Henry's character in-depth and explains why he is the way he is. The series follows Henry and Walter's relationship as they gradually grow closer and eventually become a couple before introducing a larger arc involving the Cult and its plans for the future.
* ''Comments'': One of the most underappreciated fics for the entire fandom. It's beautifully written and atmospheric, but also does the characters a lot of justice. The first one might be a little bit of a retread of the fourth game, but as the fics go on they build more and more on the universe that the author is trying to create all the while introducing new characters and arcs. It does justice to each of the characters and gives a few of them some new life and making Henry a very believable and sympathetic character.

Luckily for the reader, there are a few moment which act as breathers, and they are much needed. As the above troper noted, the atmosphere in this story is superb, and much like the game, seems to embody the ideas of despair, paranoia, and abject terror. It also serves to fill in a few blanks as to what some of the characters besides Heather are up to during Heather's screentime.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/210095/1/ Silent Hill]]'' byAeris Gainsborough and X-treme
* Recommended by {{OrpheumZero}}
* ''Synopsis'': A novelization of the first game. Join Harry Mason, a novelist who takes his daughter Cheryl to the eponymous town, only to wind up in a nightmarish world and his daughter missing.
* ''Comments'': If there was to be a novelization of the game, I would only hope this author would be the one penning it. Not only is the creepy atmosphere preserved, it gives greater insight into the world beyond even what the games ever offered. Throw in some clever references to the popular horror stories that inspired the original games, and you have a delightfully scary story to read in the dark.... A sequel was made by the author, but unfortunately hasn't been updated in years.
