15	* Recommended by: Tropers/{{The_Cosmic_Troper}}
16	* ''Status'': Complete
17	* Synopsis: Aku isn't evil, he's just clueless. (AU where the arrow from "The Birth of Evil" was a bit more effective.)
18	* Comments: As the summary states, this is an AU centered around the "What if the serum from the beginning of the series did its job?" It's an amazing oneshot depicting the concept with equally amazing description. And Aku himself is quite the character.

22	* ''Status'': Complete
23	* Synopsis: Jack enters a dangerous fairy kingdom to save the Scotsman's baby daughter.
24	* Comments: Probably one of the best ''Samurai Jack'' fics out there; Jack and company are highly detailed and in character, the plot is intriguing and paced so well it reads as if it were its own episode of the show, and the addition of more supernatural beings for Jack to deal with is always a welcome changeup.
