History FanficRecs / TheGreatGatsby

These are recommendations made by tropers for ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'', all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. ''No-name recommendations will be '''{{zapped}}'''.'' Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

* ''Comments'': Such a fascinating post-canon Gatsby fic that explores the dynamics of each character and how they'd been affected by the events of the original novel, all expressed through Pammy's POV. Pammy has wonderful commentary on what goes on in the story and its themes, particularly around the end of the fic are well crafted!

Do warn when a fanfic may head into sexually explicit or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* ''Comments'': I've been reading and loving this writer's work forever, and still, reading this one, I couldn't breathe for sheer wonder. In a postapocalyptic society where fanfic survives to become the dominant storytelling tradition, this is the ''Gatsby'' sequel we deserve. It begs publication as a legitimate transformational novella. '''Update 2023:''' This work has now been published as a novella, available for purchase at Amazon, and has thus been withdrawn from Archive of Our Own. The link in the title above has been updated accordingly.

* ''Pairing'': (Unrequited) Jordan/Daisy and the cannon pairings (Gatsby/Daisy, Tom/Daisy, Nick/Jordan)
* ''Synopsis'': People don't win Daisy's games. It's why Jordan doesn't play.
* ''Comments'': Cannon compliant POVSequel[=/=]SympatheticPOV of Jordan before and during the events of the book; Jordan is in love with Daisy, but that doesn't change anything, in the end. Jordan herself is an immensely engaging main character- she's deceptively intelligent, morally ambiguous, obsessively loyal, and a fatalist to the end.
