11	* Recommended by: Troper Name
12	* ''Synopsis:'' What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
13	* ''Pairing(s):'' If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
14	* ''Tags:'' If any are known. This would be things like SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}, {{Lemon}}, DarkFic, any known {{Crossover}}s etc.

88	* Comments: Manages to avoid the common pitfalls of self-insert fics, as well as fleshing out many original characters, adding new legacy characters and plotlines. As opposed to just throwing an AuthorAvatar into a rehash of the anime, new plots are added, the new legacy are characters are well developed and some elements left alone in the anime are explored in great depth.

91	* Recommended by: Sanokal
92	* ''Status'': Dormant (last updated November 2017)
93	* Synopsis: "We are not fighting Academia itself; rather, we are fighting their belief, their purpose to unite the dimensions into one and their brutal ways to do so. I don't consider Fusion Summoning to be superior nor inferior to the others. However, Academia has made it impossible for people to think that way, and it's very hard to find a voice of freedom against such a tyrannical force." An AU story that has the Lancers (including Jack, Serena and Shinji) traveling to the Fusion Dimension following the conclusion of the Synchro season, where they encounter the Freedom Fighters, a resistance against Academia.
94	* Comments: The major points in favour for this fic are the characters and opportunities (for example, Shinji and the new characters) which include alternate versions of certain characters from ''GX''. It's also easily one of the better AU fics out there.

But as he tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding these things, he discovers that his curiosity may unravel reality itself..." an OC-centric mystery fic following OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Matsuda Yukaro after he is embroiled in a series of events that make no sense.
100	* Comments: Combines a JigsawPuzzlePlot with a heavily cynical tone, and does it well, showing the darker underbelly of the dueling world. It is crisply written with ample world-building and character development, and a gripping plot line slowly releasing information as the story deepens.

111	* ''Synopsis:'' The Null Dimension is not like the others. In this world, Duel Monsters didn't become popular, and the holographic technology that would have enhanced the game was seized by the military for reasons unknown. That wouldn't have been a problem, except for the fact that now the residents of another dimension are attacking them with monsters made real by Solid Vision, and the only ones capable of fighting back are the resistance group Infinitas, led by a young woman named Scarlett and her trusted circle of friends. But as they're sucked into an inter-dimensional war that exceeds anyone's expectations, will they find a way to protect those they cherish most? Or will they shatter under the pressure, and succumb to Academia's might?

118	* ''Synopsis:'' "There was no parasite. Selena betrayed the Lancers and captured Yuzu by her own free will. If only they knew why Selena would forsake her honor so willingly. If only they knew that Selena was breaking their trust to save the soul of another... (Selena x Yuri)."
119	* ''Pairing(s):'' As the synopsis implies, the main pairing is Selena x Yuri. There's also moments of Yuya x Yuzu, Yuto x Ruri, and Yugo x Rin.
120	* ''Comments:'' It's an AU fic where the BrainwashedAndCrazy plot in mid-season 3 never happened. Instead, Selena made a voluntary FaceHeelTurn in an attempt to reach out to former childhood friend Yuri. Like Nox's other fic The Ice Queen Cometh!, Moonlight Sorrow skillfully combines well-written character moments with excellent full-length Duels. Definitely worth a read for any Arc-V fans dissatisfied with the DemotedToExtra treatment the female characters suffered or with Yuri's lack of backstory.

Yuya and his friends go to the new dimension, and plunge themselves into a new war against a far darker and sinister force that are connected to them and the four dragons more than they expected."
131	** ''The Last Supreme King Dragon'': "Yuya and his friends discover a clue of a certain existence that they realize necessary for their final battle against Dragon of Calamity. Thus, they begin their search and determine to find it before tragedy strike one of their own."
132	* ''Comments:'' This retelling of Arc-V from the second half of the Synchro Arc onwards, manages to create a far more compelling story, which clears up a lot of the problems that the anime, unfortunately, stumbled into. It makes the Bracelet Girls much more relevant characters and gives other key secondary characters such as Sawatari a chance to properly shine, along with a better handling of the returning characters such as Edo and Asuka.

139	* ''Comments'': The summary says it all, even if it does serve as a LateArrivalSpoiler for people who aren't close to the end of Arc V yet. The author also portrays Zarc in a similar manner to Yuya, struggling between a deep-rooted desire to utterly destroy his opponent, but yearn for the Entertainment Dueling Yuya demonstrates. It's tense, and its very beautiful.

146	* ''Comments:'' To say this was needed to wash down the mess that was Arc-V's ending is an understatement considering the consequences of the grim fate of every Yu-Salad boy and Bracelet Girl that did not appear in the first episode proper. On top of exploring the personality and characterization of our eight leads, it dives deep into the functionalities of their universe. Highly recommended for those turned off by crumby ending brought about by Gallop's shortcomings

152	* ''Pairing(s):'' OC x Serena, along with a little bit of Yuya x Yuzu.
153	* ''Comments:'' Most definitely one of the best Arc-V fanfictions out there, along with one of the best OC fics. The story is basically a retelling of Arc-V (with the inclusion of an additional OC character who is connected to Yuya and the rest of his counterparts) that doesn't simply follow the plot, but also adds new events along with offering convincing explanations for several points that the show didn't touch upon. The legacy characters are handled much better and play a much bigger role, the Arc-V cast members get their own character development as well throughout the story and the OC seamlessly blends in with the rest of the cast. The Duels are also very well written with plenty of original cards that greatly expand upon already known Decks. Definitely, a must-read for both Arc-V fans and those who enjoy good quality stories in general.

Within those two dimensions, Chiaki, Yuji, Miharu and Yuno have their lives turned upside down, and are tossed into a vicious war. Also, why are there five people with the same faces as them?
186	* ''Comments:'' One of the most ambitious fanfics I have ever read. It is essentially a complete rewrite of the story of Arc-V that adds two new pairs of Yu-boys/Bracelet Girls from the Link Dimension and Ritual Dimension, as well as an interesting third pseudo counterpart for all the dimensions. Aside from the counterparts, the story is very heavy on OCs, but it shouldn't deter the reader as the author takes great care in introducing and developing them, as well as not neglecting the canon characters by giving them the depth and development they deserved. While the story does follow the canon plot of traveling across dimensions, each story arc in each dimension was essentially rewritten from the ground up. The Standard Arc being an exception to this as it mainly served as an introduction arc. Currently, as of this recommendation being made, the story has just begun the Xyz Arc, with Standard and Synchro being complete. There is also going to be a full Link and Ritual Arc.

196	* ''Synopsis:'' A year has passed since Ai was defeated by Playmaker and no trace of the Hero of Link VRAINS, however, a new threat emerges from outside this dimension revealing to be the Demon Duelist revived. With new power and a new host to control with no regards, Zarc is unstoppable. Aoi and her allies fight the threat while Yuya and the Lancers learned of Zarc's return. Will our heroes win?
197	* ''Comments:'' An AU of what if Z-ARC managed to escape to the Link Dimension after VRAINS' ending. Anyone who wishes for a continuation/crossover movie for Arc-V and VRAINS will definitely find a lot to like here. With a new Link Dimension counterpart to Yuya and Yuzu, this fic also develops Post Arc-V Yuya as a much more mature duelist and also gives closure to Yusaku himself after VRAINS' ending. In addition, the duels are integrated with both Pendulum and Link Summoning and they flow seamlessly.
