13	* Now with [[Fanfic/BeyondTheWindingRoad its own trope page]].
14	* ''Recommended by:'' Souvenir Bookworm.
15	* ''Status:'' Dormant
16	* ''Synopsis:'' Post series. One hundred years have passed in a world full of life, color, and stories. It's time again for some familiar faces to join it.
17	[[reviews:Beyond the Winding Road]]
18	* ''Comments'': A slightly slow-paced but fascinatingly detailed interpretation of the Pandora Hearts universe and the daily lives of post-series Oz, Alice, and Gilbert. Despite its general light-heartedness, it doesn't shy away from the more bitter implications of the ending, and adds quite a few new aspects of its own. The author's true strength, however, lies in their ability to make the fairy tale-like land of Pandora Hearts seem like a real, tangible place in history. A criticism for those interested would be that, since the story appears to mainly be concerned with cleaning up loose ends, it lacks the high stakes, fast pace, and violence that characterizes the manga, and so this troper could easily see the more intense focus on quiet moments, worldbuilding, and interpersonal drama being a bit too slow for some readers.

23	* Synopsis:Because Break is Mad Hatter and Liam is March Hare. Which made it all inevitable in the end. Liam-centric. An interesting semi-AU showing a lot of background between events of the manga, back-story on the Rainsworth Trio, and the authors speculation on the power of March Hare before it was revealed. A story well worth reading.

72	* ''Status'': Complete
73	* ''Summary'':Human souls return to the earth after a hundred cycles. Chains are immortal. When Gil lies dying, Oz takes drastic measures to find his best friend again.
74	* ''Synopsis:''A look at the possible long term issues of Oz being a chain, and a creative solution. If he must, Oz will wait forever. It diverges from canon after retrace 78, so anyone hoping for Alice will be disappointed.

80	* ''Summary'': It begins where it ends, but it ends where it begins. Do you want to live forever, Jack?
81	* ''Synopsys'': You could say this is kinda a character study of our favorite traitor, his brokenness, madness, goals, what drove him. He's a really interesting guy, isn't he? Anyway, the plot is done similarly to PH, so it's like a jigsaw puzzle. You have to work it through a bit before the picture becomes clear. An interesting work, and one that successfully caught him.

84	* ''Recommended by'' Gamma Cavy
85	* ''Status:'' Complete
86	* ''Original summary:'' No matter how many times he changed his name, Gilbert would never belong anywhere. He simply hopes that his master can be saved. The question is: does he still have one? [Alternate continuity from Retrace 74 onwards.]
87	* ''Warning:'' Important manga spoilers.
88	* ''Synopsis:'' An alternate continuity from retrace 74, Ambidextrous is the story of Gil coming to terms with the whole "I'm a Baskerville in service of Glen" thing, and then choosing to save Oz anyway, because Glen's become far to much of a WellIntentionedExtremist, and doesn't care about the fact that the[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast B-rabbit]] is a person who doesn't want to hurt them, only that it's a Chain that can destroy Baskervilles. Glen is also jealous of the fact that Gil s now loyal to Oz, so it's unclear whether the decision to destroy B-Rabbit is only because the chain can cause destruction, or if there's some of "if he's dead Gil is mine" going on as well. Naturally Gil won't let Oz be destroyed, and couldn't care less that his master is a Chain. Oz, however, wants Gil to save Alice. So as Sharon and Break rescue Oz, Gil braves the Abyss to find Alice, and make a contract with her. They then hatch a most intriguing plan to remove Oz from Jack's control. After all, chains can make contracts... and if Glen and Vincent can have more than one Chain, so can Gil carry three.

91	* ''recommended by'': Gamma Cavy.
92	* ''Status'': Complete
93	* ''Synopsis'' Break grieves.
94	* Comments: A heartbreaking what if story in which Break stops the second sundering of the world-chains, at a cost he had no desire to pay, because he was the only one who could do anything at all. Skyline caught his more serious face and grief very well.
95	** Then an absolutely amazing author wrote a sequel that fits perfectly, and brings into consideration something often overlooked. If you're going to read Undone you should read Cavy's sequel too! Mending can be found here: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11090312/1/Mending Mending]]

100	* ''Status:'' Complete
101	* ''Original summary:'' Leo wondered just what he was to Elliot Nightray. Sometimes the answer seemed troublingly close to ''everything.' 'Elliot had an awful tendency to lean on weak reeds, and then to blame them when they broke.
102	* ''Synopsis:'' After Oz's second coming of age ceremony in chapter 56 Pandora tries all the child contractors. Unfortunately for them the Oz faction aren't going to let anything happen to Leo. Eliot in particular is upset at this farce of a trial for his servant. It borders on hysterically funny at times and is well worth a look.

118	* ''Synopsis'': The embarrassing thing about this is that it’s not even about the Abyss. This man is just a random mugger, and Oz just wandered down the wrong alley at the wrong time. God, if he gets killed by a mugger, he’s really…He’s really going to die laughing, because how ridiculous is that?

129	* ''Original summary:'' When Chains start to appear all over Great Britain, Pandora cannot let it slide. AU story
130	* ''Synopsis:'' Chains begin to appear in Great Britain, and Pandora's best agents are sent to deal with this. it's somewhat AU to both original works, one because a character who should be dead isn't and the other because it isn't the same fifth year as usual. Oz, Eliot, Alice, and Leo are sent undercover as students, with Gil and Break pretending to be body guards, while they search for the contractor. By the time they leave Britan, the Ministry is in shambles, Voldemort is ''not'' ever coming back, it's discovered that Baskerviles are very hard to kill even by wizarding methods, and Hermione might be engaged to [[spoiler:Elliot]]. All in all a fun story, and well worth reading at least once, if only for the novelty of a fifth year with no Umbridge.
