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.

But this isn't the only conflicting thing the young monk has to deal with. Omi gets some news from the immortal warrior that causes great confliction within himself as well.
47	* Comments: This author really knows Omi and Chase's characters really well, it's only a one-shot chapter fic, but the characterization is spot on. The dialogue fits just right for both our hero and villain, and the author gives us a different way to look at the relationship between the two. (And it is not a romance fic, thank god.)

While Hannibal Bean plots revenge, the Xiaolin monks encounter strange visitors, ruthless villains, and unexpected betrayals.

63	* Comments: The author has an incredible understanding of each and every character in the Xiaolin universe, bringing a [[DarkerAndEdgier darker tone]] to the classic feel without losing any of what made the characters fun and humorous in the first place.

74	* Synopsis: A collection of drabbles.
75	* Comments: Absolutely hilarious snapshots of various characters' lives, occasionally bordering on CrackFic whenever [[TheUnfunny Chase Young is concerned]]. Various degrees of [[UnholyMatrimony Chase/Wuya]], [[ShipTease Raimundo/Kimiko]], and (get this) [[CrackPairing Clay/Katnappe]], and slowly the plots get a bit more serious. Unfortunately, the only one with continuing plot, a three-shot... is stuck at part II and the last update was March 2011. You have been warned.

86	* ''Status'': Dormant
87	* Synopsis: When Hannibal awakens an unspeakable evil, the monks are forced to turn to the last person they ever imagined they'd ask for help: Chase Young.
88	* Comments: In spite of the [[ScheduleSlip slow update rate]], "Growth and Decline" could easily pass as the fourth season come early. The insight Exileian shows, not just with the characters but their individual elements, adds a level of depth completely surpassing the EnemyMine situation the dragons suddenly find themselves in. There is no DracoInLeatherPants-ing, no OutOfFocus-ness, and no VillainDecay--only a frantic race to improve, with the eventual knowledge of [[EvilPlan just what is at stake]].

94	* Comments: In my opinion, this is one of the best Jack-centric fictions that shows what the Evil Boy Genius could be capable of, while still maintaining his [[{{Adorkable}} likable aspects]] and his relationships with Chase, Wuya and the Xiaolin Warriors is hilarious, and is consistently in-character. If you are a fan of Spicer, this fan fiction is just for you.

100	* Comments: Anyone familiar with the Chinese elements knows that wind isn't one of them, and might wonder why this show uses it.

106	* Comments: A story that shows up Rai's side of "Return of Master Monk Guan", with everything to how the plan came together to Rai's musing on how good an actor he is since his friends buy a story that has no roots. Overall, a great look at how devoted Raimundo is to his friends and how hard pretending to betray them again was.

116	* Synopsis: Raimundo feels the yoke of leadership both on and off the battlefield, but never let it be said he doesn't know a bad omen when he sees one. A mystical dragon egg and a particularly nasty Shen Gong Wu on their own would have been fine, but together they create a challenge like the Xiaolin Dragons have never faced before...One that threatens to overwhelm both Good and Evil.

151	* Comments: This is probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite Chack story ever. The character development is great and the story gets you happy, scared, excited, etc. It's also hard to believe that this was written before the season finale aired because of some similarities!

156	* Pairings: Jack Spicer/Chase Young
157	* Synopsis: Normally, when Jack Spicer discovers something about his evil idol, Chase Young, he is overjoyed. But this time, it's something that could turn his entire world upside down.
158	* Comments: This story focuses mainly on Jack and his and Megan's time under protection from the other villains due his discovery and it's very interesting to read Jack discover his feelings until he eventually has to face them.
159	** Dellanotte: This is a pretty good story, and I don't even like the main pairing. However, the execution is original, the plot is well-thought out and entertaining, and not a character is wasted or particularly [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness off the mark]] (unless a hidden [[{{Tsundere}} Dere-dere]] side of [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Chase Young]] counts). The direct romance doesn't actually take over the story until the end, either, and the author handles both developing Chase/Jack and subtle Rai/Kim quite well.
