* A fully voice acted, narrative Let's Play with emphasis on the [[OneTrueThreesome]] can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR01kTlJX5g (by JelloApocalypse)

* ''Comments'': This is a ''very'' detailed fic that follows the main plot novelization with focus on AdaptationExpansion and ADayInTheLimelight moments for the wider cast. Author is a professional writer who mentions ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1845381/1/Eternal_Arcadia Eternal Arcadia]]'' as an inspiration. If you know the story of the game, you know where things are heading since the main plot is very faithfully recreated. The big draw is world-building to fill the gaps and explain how the world of Arcadia functions. There's insights on how magic works, leendary air pirates from Dacaat and beyond and the landscape of the Valua-Nasr War among other things, and it never feels like NarrativeFiligree. The story itself features additions such as an exploration of Fina's powers as TheEmpath, Enrique's [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething deeper involvement in the Valua plotline]] and it even has guest characters tag along in dungeons. The only downside is tendency to reeeeeally ScheduleSlip.

* ''Synopsis'': A novelization with focus on AdaptationExpansion and ADayInTheLimelight moments for the wider cast.

* ''Pairings'': Aside from the canon Enrique/Moegi, there's a subtle hint of Gilder/Clara. However, as an Adventure fic, Romance isn't the main point here.
* ''Synopsis'': One year after the events of the main game, Lawrence, despite his endeavors as a former helmsman of the Delphinus, finds himself jobless and penniless as the Golden Age of piracy begins to fade. Luckily for him, the captain of a Discovery crew hires his services- at ten times his usual price, no less! Such charisma, coupled with his new crewmates' assaults on an unidentified ship and an Ixa'takan area, leads the mercenary to discover the hidden machinations of the ancient Glacians... as well as that of his new captain.

* ''Comments'': Beautiful piece of work. The plot, the air of mystery, Lawrence's little quips... all compelling. Don't let the initial flood of original characters scare you away; they're all beautifully written enough for you to take an interest in them. Be warned: the author uses British spelling, so don't chew her out on it.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''SkiesOfArcadia'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Main/FanficRecommendations here]].

* ''Synopsis'': It's basically the story of ''SkiesOfArcadia'' written like it was a novel. Things are added in and expanded on to add depth to the story.

* ''Pairings'': There's bits of pairings in there, but they're hardly the focus of the fic. I'm pretty sure there was some Vyse/Fina, and if memory is correct, there might have been a little Akia/Gilder, as well.

* ''Comments'': This is probably the best piece of fanfiction this troper has ever seen. It's extremely well-written, for one thing. Seriously, the writing is around the quality you'd see in a published work. While the author does add things in, it never feels like they're messing things up. Instead of ruining canon, it actually ''enhances'' the story and adds a lot of depth to it. It sounds impossible, but one look at the fic and you'll understand. The author also expands on existing things, making the whole setting seem more believable. A few things are taken out, but only things that made no difference to the plot. (For example, the boss in Glacia is not in the story. In the game, that thing came out of nowhere, and was unimportant overall) The setting is made more realistic, with things like the people on different continents speaking different languages. All of this is done in a way that still keeps the feel of the actual game. A wonderful rendition of the game's storyline. If you've played the game, this story is a must-read.
