General Fics

Shantae: A New Genie by Seantae2425

• Recommended by Tropemaster849
• Status: Ongoing
• Synopsis: A novelization of the Shantae games with several unique twists added to it.
• Comments: Only four chapters in and already, I'm in love with what the author is doing. The new twists are very interesting to read and I look forward to seeing how things go.

Shipping Fics

Starry Night Love by Foxboy614

• Recommended by Tropemaster849
• Status: Complete
• Pairings: Shantae/Bolo
• Synopsis: One night, Bolo was out watching the stars when Shantae joined him to watch them. Both have been developing secret feelings for each other, and tonight, they're about to be revealed.
• Comments: This one shot is adorable. It really plays up the feelings between both characters and gives them reasonable worries about revealing said feelings, to the point where you will smile when they do finally come out.

Delivery by Tommycats

• Recommended by RacattackForce
• Status: Complete
• Pairings: Shantae/Rottytops
• Synopsis: Shantae has wanted to ask her best friend and roommate, Rottytops, out to a date for a while. Luckily, Sky has a great suggestion for her! "Order something and ask her out in the notes."
• Comments: Tommycats has quite few Shantae fics, and all of them are great, but I'm quite fond of this Shantae and Rottytops one. A cute Modern AU Fic (where Rotty is still a zombie, of course) where Shantae tries to gather the courage to ask her childhood friend out. Short, sweet, and full of the others relentlessly teasing our resident dancer.

Just a Few More Deadelions by Clocksmith

• Recommended by RacattackForce
• Status: Complete
• Pairings: Shantae/Rottytops
• Synopsis: Shantae wants more than just a one-night stand. She wants love. She wants romance and all the heartfelt devotion that comes with it. She wants to share her heart with someone who will live just as long as she will. But someone who's is already dead? That works, too.
• Comments: The story is actually told mostly from Sky's perspective, making for a fun read that's just as much about Sky letting go of her dislike for Rottytops to potentially become friends as it is about getting the zombie and half-genie to reveal their mutual feelings for each other.

One Shots

A Generation Of One by Luke Danger

• Recommended by Tropemaster849
• Synopsis: There was a reason that Harmony was so certain about the fact that there would be no more half-genies once the current generation passed: she had seen what would follow them.
• Comments: Great one shot that explains why Harmony wants to make a difference. Really makes me wish that more stories would star the other half genies.

After the Battle by Thats_Sounds_Right

• Recommended by Tropemaster849
• Synopsis: Shantae gets roughed up defending Scuttle Town from Risky Boots, but luckily her da- I mean uncle is there to patch her up.
• Comments: Adorable oneshot about the sadly underrepresented in both game and fanworks father/daughter relationship that Mimic and Shantae share. Really gets across how much they care for each other.
