13* ''Synopsis'': Most of her ''Jak'' fics are one-shots that concentrate on Jak and Daxter's (and sometimes Sig's) friendship. A good number are also "cutscene connections" that show a little before-and-after.
14* ''Comments'': Her writing is free of jarring misspellings and horrible grammar, and strikes a good balance between detailed and succinct. ''Constant Satellite'' is [[Tropers.{{Albino-ottsel}} This Troper's]] personal favorite, hence the link below.

17''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

20* Recommended by albino-ottsel
21* ''Status'': Complete
22* ''Synopsis'': Precursors, they couldn't get this wrong. Friendships like theirs weren't supposed to end like this. He'd made a promise. Extension of the intro to ''Jak 3''.
23* ''Comments'': A touching tribute to Jak and Daxter's friendship as Daxter races to get onto the Air Train before Jak is taken to the Wasteland.

26* Recommended by katamariape
27* ''Status'': Complete
28* ''Synopsis'': It had been a surprise for Torn when the Ottsel came back to Headquarters … alone. It was also a surprise that he decided to care at all. No pairings. ''Based around Jak 2''.
29* ''Comments'': A deep probing of both Daxter's character and Torn's that revolves around an AU setting where Jak is (presumed, no official word yet) dead. Although the story has yet to leave the Headquarters, P.A.W. has kept this an addicting and emotional read, especially when she focuses on how Daxter's transformation and reliance on Jak has affected him mentally.

32* Recommended by Jesajew
33* ''Status'': Complete
34* ''Synopsis'': When Jak first landed in Haven City, Erol wasn't the one to find him. Now he must face a future he is ill prepared for, and even with help from Sig and Damas, there's no guarantee that he'll survive.
35* ''Comments'': An incredibly fun adventure with a very uncommon protagonist, for this fandom: Pre-Jak 2 Jak. Well-written, with an original, engaging plot and good characterization.

38* Recommended by Jesajew
39* ''Status'': Dead
40* ''Synopsis'': Sometimes all it takes is an off-course machine to change the course of time. Jak never made it to the future of his birth. Instead, Damas came to the past.
41* ''Comments'': Ditto my comment for A Matter Of Time. Lithic pays attention to the most ignored characters and settings in the J&D universe and gives us some amazing interactions(Damas meeting Boggy Billy!), all with characterization and dialogue so perfect it could have come straight from the game.

43''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6878749/1/Nighttime_Getaway Nighttime Getaway]]'' by Gentle Breezes
44* Recommended by albino-ottsel
45* ''Status'': Complete
46* ''Synopsis'': Seem-centric. No dirt. There are nights when the air in the desert is so calm and still that it's stifling to stay in one place. It is during those time that Seem runs away, retreating into the arms of the desert.
47* ''Comments'': A nice story that gives a bit of backstory and depth to a severely underdeveloped character.

52* ''Synopsis'': Sig was sent to Haven to search for Damas' son. He found him. AU. Set between Jak II & 3. No Ships.''.
53* ''Comments'': A story in which Jak meets Damas under a different set of circumstances. There is a sequel up, also.

56* Recommended by Tezcat
57* ''Status'': Complete
58* ''Synopsis'': Kor tells his story. How he left his homeworld, how he fought against Mar, how he slaughtered the Precursors, from his hatching to his death.
59* ''Comments'': An interesting story that tries to give a solution to the plot holes in the series by telling it from the villain's point of view.

62* Recommended by Lord Jaric
63* ''Status'': Ongoing
64* ''Synopsis'': The Dark Warrior Project comes to fruition and the Baron has a new right hand attack dog. Keira is forced to work with the Underground to get her friend back and to save Haven city. Without the Precursor's blessing, however, it'll take all her skills just to stay alive as she follows a destiny not meant for her.
65* ''Comments'': An AU of Jak 2 with an interesting twist. Has its own tvtropes page [[Fanfic/TorqueJakAndDaxter here.]]

72* Recommended by Jesajew
73* ''Status'': Complete
74* ''Pairings'': Onesided Jak/Daxter, Daxter/Tess
75* ''Synopsis'': Through all the mistakes he has done, and all the horrors of his existence, Jak knows that he'll always be able to count on Daxter to remain by his side. And that means more to him than even the fuzzball realizes. Takes place in Jak 3.
76* ''Comments'': One of the best fics in this entire fandom. Incredibly well-written, with an interesting storytelling gimmick that provides intriguing, well-characterized insights into the minds of various characters. Lovely portrayal of Jak and Daxter's relationship. Gets bonus points for portraying Daxter's reaction to Jak's feelings realistically, without resorting to [[CastFullOfGay "hooray, I happen to be conveniently gay for you as well!"]] A DeadFic, unfortunately, but still very worth reading, even if you're not into slash.

81* Recommended by Jesajew
82* ''Status'': Complete
83* ''Pairings'': Jak/Daxter, Ashelin/Torn
84* ''Synopsis'': Daxter discovers Jak's unrequited feelings for him. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarious hijinks ensue]] as he wrestles with his own feelings, then sets out to seduce Jak. Takes place in Jak X.
85* ''Comments'': Fun and light-hearted from start to finish, with a very light sprinkling of angst to make things interesting. The premise it starts with is a little shaky, but once the ball gets rolling the author builds an enjoyable story out of it. Crowning moments of SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} and SugarWiki/{{funny|Moments}} abound, along with some [[{{Lemon}} lovely smut.]]
