Added DiffLines:

* ''Synopsis'': Pedigree ( ped-i-gree ): an ancestral line; line of descent; lineage; ancestry.
A portrait of the Wilder family painted in rose-red - a generation of ghosts. An interpretation of Zelos' childhood and the Wilder family backstory.
* ''Comments'': A stunning, provacative study of Zelos and the Wilder family. This piece sinks deep into concepts and ideas not usually seen in the fandom, and combined with the intense prose and styling makes it stand out beautifully.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23166676/chapters/55448911 Weltschmerz]]'' by flambydelrabies
* Recommended by @/{{ageha_nacht}}
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'':“Today is just another day, but it’s the one I’ve spent all my life dreading…”

Tethe’alla is in decline, and now chosen of mana Zelos Wilder must embark on the journey of regeneration to restore its prosperity. Meanwhile, Lloyd Aurion is sent by Cruxis to keep a distant watch over Zelos as he releases the seals, and the two of them begin to realize that nothing is what it seems.
* ''Comments'': The first part in the "Weltschmerz" series, this is a unique take on the Chosen swap idea, showing a much darker Journey of Regeneration through the eyes of Zelos. One of the author's most notable pieces, it's a gorgeously written story that is definitely worth the read.

* ''Synopsis'': ''Star's Vigil'' is a Main/NextGenFic that is set a century and a half after the end of Tales of Symphonia, expanding on the lore within and surrounding the game. It begins in a port town, where a young dock worker and a descendant of Lloyd and Colette end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. After being chased out of their hometown, their efforts to escape and avoid detection lead them to stumble upon something greater than they would ever have expected. Acting on the words of one of the Summon Spirits, they set out on a quest following in the footsteps of the Heroes of Regeneration.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/24135907/chapters/58112908 Between Day and Night (An Everlasting Twilight)]]'' by SuikaShoujo
* Recommended by @/{{zelosfricker69}}
* ''Status'': In progress
* ''Synopsis'': A character study of the events in the ten years between Zelos losing his family and finding a new one.
* ''Comments'': An excellent piece that works to fill in the gaps that canon left regarding Zelos' backstory. The prose is both beautiful and hard-hitting.

* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': A "what if" fanfiction about potential interactions between Kratos and Zelos during Zelos' childhood.
* ''Comments'': This troper always thought the possibility of Kratos and Zelos having known each other before the events of the game was both fascinating and plausible. This fic does an excellent job of building on this idea from Zelos' childhood all the way until the end of the game.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/705412 Better Luck]]'' by QuillMage

* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': From the author: "Everyone Zelos has ever allied himself with all have one thing in common." A one-shot fic about Zelos' relationship to Yuan, Kratos, Mithos, and Lloyd.
* ''Comments'': The writing in this is gorgeous and the parallels are executed very well. Definitely worth a read, especially considering how short it is.

Attempting to conceal his "angelic" powers from his awakened Exsphere is the easy part, especially once events begin to be {{OffTheRails driven off the rails}} by the contaminate.

* ''Comments'': A well written "What if" fic. Lloyd manages to stay in character (read: believable) despite the role reversal and the fact that he has to put up with [[WhatTheHellTownspeople a lot of shit]] from [[FantasticRacism all sides]]. The grammar isn't perfect, but still well worth a read.

* ''Synopsis'': Modern, AU, crossover with ''TheDeparted''. Lloyd Irving and his father, an undercover police officer, learn of a plot by half elf extremists to destroy the world. Along with friends and unlikely allies, they try to put an end to this act.
* ''Comments'': The summary says it all, really. This is more or less based on ''TheDeparted'', with plenty of refrences to the game, as well as the sequel. A very interesting read, worth checking out to see how it all fits together.
