- Gen pairings when any, occasionally canon like Superman/Lois. Mostly focuses on Flash/friendships, though not always.
- She has four stories for the DCAU, and three that focus mainly on the Flash, and his Rogues gallery; however she had an excellent drabble fic that has amazing stories in it as well.
- Wife
about Captain Cold, and his wife* . - Villains about the end of "Divided We Fall" as seen (on TV) through the eyes of Flash's Rogues gallery.
- Everybody Comes To Harry's about the "little hole in the wall on Fourth" Flash's Rogues regularly frequent.
- Snapshot Collection, a series of ficlets of varying lengths - answering questions that include "Where does Superman keep his cape?" Answer: see the 21st snapshot for details.
- Wife
- Recommended by: BANKERBAX, Soulseller
- Parings Mostly Superman/Batman Clark/Bruce slash.
- Mithen's stories are well written, well thought out and well worth reading. She has several stories taking place in detailed A Us she created herself. Even if Clark/Bruce isn't your thing you could appreciate the writing.
- Music of the Spheres Batman and Superman meet and are forced to work with each other. Bruce and Clark meet and fall in love. An epic AU consisting of several long stories and a few side stories. Heaps of slash.
- The House of the Earth An absolutely brilliant AU. Author's description: The House of the Earth" is an AU series in which a few thousand Kryptonians escaped the destruction of Krypton and came to Earth, enslaving its people. Kal-El, heir to the powerful House of El, has just returned from over a decade of off-world schooling to find that his cousin Kara has purchased a new personal slave.
- The Gardens of Wayne Manor Clark Kent's life goes in an unexpected direction at an early age and ends up entangled with Bruce Wayne's. It follows their lives for over a decade, starting from when they were children up until they become heroes. The set up seems foreign at first glance but is handled in a way that makes you feel it could be canon. As they are young there is more subtle and oblivious romance than actual cushion pushin'.
- Earth and Sky series Authors description: This series explores the possibility that Superman and Batman had a romantic relationship in the AU world shown by Jeph Loeb in the "Absolute Power" story arc, and the effects that would have on the canon versions of the characters.
- Four First Kisses Superman is dead. Batman refuses to accept this. Time travel fic. [Winner of the 2006 World's Finest Awards for Long Story and Romance]
- 36 Views of Mount Fuji This series is meant to be a fairly light-hearted look at the year starting after the Superman/Batman Annual #1, where Clark and Bruce meet on a cruise. It covers four separate trips to Japan and the experiences the two of them have there. It's largely a chance for me to enjoy imagining two very American superheroes travelling around Japan and—eventually—falling in love.
- There are plenty more fics by this author, go read them!!!
- Soulseller: Mithen is a superb writer that has something for everyone. If you're uncomfortable with mature sex scenes, just sample some of her equally excellent fluffy writing. And she also has gen or het fics available. Nobody should miss this supreme author and I can hardly think of any better author, living or dead.
- Music of the Spheres
The Dillonsverse by Lia Brown
- Recommended by: Kilgore Trout
- Pairing(s): The Top/Golden Glider.
- Synopsis: Lia Brown's "Dillonsverse" is an AU, mostly featuring stories focusing on The Flash's Rogues. In this continuity neither Roscoe Dillon nor Lisa Snart ever died. In fact they finally got married and had a couple of kids. Life for the two of them isn't always rosy, however...
- Comments: You could begin at the beginning, crazy as that idea is, but I actually recommend starting with the third story: Holiday Mayhem. IMHO, that's where Lia starts to really hit her stride.
- Recommended by noheartxanother
- "My therapist said I should write this because he's a goddamned tool."
- Synopsis: By Al Ewing in 2006-2007, this is presented as a 'behind-the-scenes' look at Ralph Dibny's journey through the events of 52 via his psychiatrist-mandated blog, showing him as a delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic never-was determined to get revenge on all who have ever wronged him (or at least get back the money they owe them) and prove himself to the world, or failing that, die in the most spectacular fashion possible. Obviously, hijinks ensue.
- Comments: An absolutely hilarious black-comedy look at the underside of the DCU by a writer who would go on to become one of Marvel's biggest names, neatly folding in the events of the 52 series as it was happening within his own off-kilter plot, as well as the comments of those posting in-character as the likes of Green Arrow, Jean Loring and Wonder Girl. To say the characters are taken in a misanthropic direction would be an understatement, but if the idea of Elongated Man pooping in Dr. Fate's helmet for getting him in deep with the Hell Mafia or planning suicide-via-Cosmic-Treadmill to go out remaking the universe in his image appeals, give it a shot.
Dark Mark website and ''FF.net link
- Recommended by Tron80
- Dark Mark writes long, epic tales often focused on Supergirl and involving most of the heroes and villains of The DCU. His stories are usually set in the Golden and Silver Ages but they're completely accessible and understandable to newer fans.
- His Marvel universe stories are also highly recomendable.
- Recommended by Spider_Jaws
- The DC Universe, reimagined!
- It's a huge writing community written by several writers creating their own takes on DC characters. It's fantastic.
General Fics
Respect is Earned by Mists
- Recommended by loracarol
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): Mostly a Gen Fic with some Bats/Diana elements. (NO Bats/Flash Slash. There is no Slash in this story).
- Synopsis: Respect is never given, it is earned. This is the story of how Wally earns Bruce's respect. A Flash and Batman friendship Fan Fiction.
- Comments: The Flash has been injured and it's decided that he would stay at Batman's place until he's healed. Will he survive? Will Batman? And what about Alfred's warnings on Bats' cooking? This delves a little into the backstory of The Flash, which works out pretty well because the DC Animated Universe Flash doesn't really have a backstory. Although it starts light and comedic, there's a bit of a Cerebus Syndrome towards the middle/end as the plot thickens. It does have a sequel of sorts called From Respect to Friendship that happens mostly after RiE, (except the first chapter). From Respect to Friendship is a drabble-like story, with hints towards the sequel called The Double Edged Sword (which looks like it has been abandoned, however).
Coffee with Alfred by Dunyazade
- Recommended by Lady Nomad
- Status: Complete
- Pairings: No pairings, just Batman/Superman friendship.
- Synopsis: Batman discovers what Alfred does in the mornings.
- Comments: This is a very fun story that shows the relationships between Alfred and Bruce and Bruce and Clark. It also makes Batman funny in a realistic way.
The Greatest Story Finally Told by Mr. Chaos
- Recommended by nicknack
- Status: Complete
- Pairings: Booster/Tracy Simmons.
- Synopsis: In The Greatest Story Never Told, Booster Gold saved the world, only for no one to learn the truth...or so we were led to think. Taking place between Greatest and Dark Heart, learn how Booster went from Crowd Control to True Hero.
- Comments: A fanmade sequel to The Greatest Story Never Told that just has to be read by anyone who is a fan of the DCAU. How good is it? This troper likes it, and she isn't even a DCAU fan. Perhaps the best fanfic starring Booster Gold that has ever been written.
- The author does tend to paint the authority figures on the Justice League in rather negative light, and whether this is good or bad is up to you. The story is about the Justice League Founders realizing that they were wrong to reprimand Booster for abandoning his crowd control job while everyone else was fighting Mordru. Booster's culpability, and the fact that he has alot of behavioral issues he needs to correct, are ignored or brushed aside. At least, that's this tropers opinion (and seconded by Loracarol). If you really like Booster Gold, then this is DEFINITELY the fic for you. If you don't, well...
Flash By Northwest by Merlin Missy
- Recommended by Zephyr 7
- Status: Complete
- Pairings: Mostly gen though in the AU, there was a Love Triangle between Green Lantern, Vixen and Hawkgirl
- Synopsis: The Big Seven (plus one) are trapped inside a world created by a magical artifact. As the body count rises, familiar faces hide deadly secrets and it's up to Flash to save them.
- Comments: A definite read for anyone interested in mystery. I found the characterizations of every character done well, even if some of the AU characters are different than their original characters due to being in a story and having different roles.
Terry's Quest for Tea Cakes by Marie Nomad
- Recommended by Cybertoy 00
- Status: Complete
- Pairings: Some Terry/Dana in the beginning, but not the focus of the story.
- Synopsis: For old Bruce Wayne's birthday, Terry McGinnis decides to make his mentor some tea cake, just like Alfred used to do. Unfortunately, he doesn't know the recipe.
- ''Comments: Humorous and heartwarming, and filled continuity nods to both the DCAU and the regular comics. Also featuring a special appearance of a character not seen since B:TAS!
World in Your Eyes by jamjar
- Recommended by Valjean
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Clark Kent and Planet Earth, a moment between them.
- Comments: A very brief, whimsical little character study of Clark Kent, his fierce, innocent adoration of his adopted planet, and how it causes his eternally cheerful, wide-eyed idealist demeanor. Guaranteed to click on the lightbulb inside the head of anyone who has wondered just why Superman fans like him so much.
Invasion by Syl Francis
- Recommended by Pacifist
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: The JLA and Titans face an alien invasion.
- Comments: An old JLA/Titans epic that makes you feel like you've got an 80's graphic novel in front of you.
Those Who Are Both by Marbleglove
- Recommended by Looney Toons
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Superman eavesdrops on a confrontation between Batman and Lex Luthor and thinks back along the history of his enmity with Luthor.
- Comments: An interesting short speculating on the true nature of the relationship between Luthor and Superman. While it could be set in any Superman continuity, it does make reference to events from Smallville.
Add ReviewProbationary Member by Adrian Tullberg
- Recommended by trekie140
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Batman brings a new recruit into the JLA ... but there's something he doesn't know ...
- Comments: It's quite funny, focuses on the characters, and is well written despite a few typos. It's just a good story with good characters and a surprisingly good premise. It really has all the ingredients for a dumb Slash Fic with a Mary Sue, but ends up telling (in spite of the comedy) a very serious, down to earth, and intelligent story of an unconventional new member of the Justice League and the consequences they all face.
Less Than Zero by Kenchi 618
- Recommended by Reppuzan, Thragg Lootrippa
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: It's one thing to enter the world of heroes and villains, it's another thing entirely to find your way back out again. That's a bitter truth to swallow when you want no part of the life to begin with. A hasty decision from a young man with his back against the wall sends him down a path of which there is no return. OC main character.
- Comments: A lot of OC stories fail to hit the mark in fanfiction, either coming off as too overpowered or too unrealistic to be engaging. This is not one of those stories. Centered around OC Max Gabriel/Null who (like a lot of tech-based superheroes) finds a supersuit he never knew about in what amounts to a high-security closet. What does he do with it? Become a thief of course! A believable main character who makes friends and enemies out of iconic members of the DC Franchise with excellent characterization that mixes humor with non-stop action. Catwoman lovers should take a look as she is a primary supporting character. One warning though, this story comes from a man who loves to write novel-length stories as a hobby. It may only be a year old but it's packing 130k+ words and still going while he's writing other stories. If you're looking for a quick read, don't bother. Rated M for frequent cussing, occasional flirtation, and infrequent gore.
Victory Bonds by Copperbadge
- Recommended by Addikt
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: The year is 1947, and Daily Planet front-pagers Clark Kent and "Louis" Lane are about to get the story of their careers, courtesy of the fledgling Justice League: the enigmatic Superman, the spy-turned-vigilante codenamed Bat, intelligence agent and newly minted Green Lantern Alan Scott, and Ambassador Diana, Princess of Themyscira.
- Pairings: Clark Kent/Lois Lane, but this fic has a lot going on beyond that and works well as a Gen fic.
- Comments: Don't let this 1st person fic fool you. Victory Bonds is an excellent well-researched and written post WWII DC AU. It's just too much fun to read and imagine our favorite characters existing in this verse. It's exciting to see how the Justice League forms, with the villans being very much a product of the period. Also, a very interesting take on how Superman disguses himself while in uniform. While I recommend this to any Justice League fans, this fic is highly recommended for Superman or Clark/Lois fans.
Empty Graves by Unpretty
- Recommended by Pseudopartition
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Time travelers who plan to kill Superman never account for Martha Kent in their plans. She may not be the World's Finest, but she's a mother with a shotgun, and all told that might be scarier.
- Comments: A great character study of Martha Kent and her influence on Clark that's both hilarious and unexpectedly heartwarming.

Inviolate by scriviner

- Synopsis: Someone messed with Luthor's mind. Someone was going to pay. A mystery that slowly unveils a terrible secret within the DCU and Lex's response to what he finds.
- Pairing: Various levels of Lex/Mercy/Eve.

- Comments: a wonderfully heartwrenching piece about the death of Superman at the hands of Doomsday, in a world where Tim Drake and Jimmy Olsen are close friends, and both found out Clark Kent's secret early on. Warning for a suicide attempt and other disturbing content.
The Metropolitan Man by alexanderwales
- Recommended by Traiden
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: The year is 1934, and Superman has arrived in Metropolis. Features Lex Luthor as the villain protagonist as he comes to grips with the arrival of an alien god. Occasional point-of-view chapters/sections featuring Lois Lane. Takes place outside any established comics continuity. Updates once a week on Sundays, and should last about a dozen chapters.
- Pairing: None.
- Comments: Very well written. Really shows you how intelligent Lex really is and how the world should have reacted to the Man of Steel. The Villain Protagonist means that YMMV. — To me this was an exercise in nihilism and petty thinking. Lex and Lois both act out of their own varieties of small-minded jealousy which they rationalise as taking necessary steps to preserve 'human' interests. Similarly, Superman proves to be a hick masquerading as a Superman. The writing skill of this author is not in doubt, but the story may leave a sour taste in your mouth for some time. — Mac Shimi.
Superman: The Age of Superheroes - 1938 to Tomorrow by Supercharles

- Comments: The first in a completed series called 'Batman 1939,' this story keeps Batman brilliant and formidable without succumbing to the temptation of making him too smart to fail. The mystery elements are compelling, the fight scenes are thrilling, and the dialogue is flawlessly in character across the board. Someone should hire this man to write comic books.
No Trinity by Worffan and others (FF.Net Link)
- Recommended by randomideaguy
- Status: In Progress
- Comments: A pseudo "TV series" taking place in an alternate universe wherein the Trinity (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) never become superheroes. Of course, there's quite a bit more to it than that - the series quickly goes off the rails from established canon but it's character focus is quite good and lets people shine that might've otherwise been in the background.

At 20,000 words, it's one of the longest one-shots I've ever read, and in that time it manages to weave an epic of frustration and ingenuity. Computer!Bruce is fantastically written. Probably the best fanfic I've ever read.

- Pairing(s): Batman/Wonder Woman, Superman/Lois Lane, Batman/Catwoman, and maybe Superman/Wonder Woman if you squint
- Synopsis: Wonder Woman wants Batman. Batman wants no one. The rest of the world wants Wonder Woman to end up with Superman. Basically, it's a humorous telling of how Diana tries to develop a relationship with Bruce despite the fact that everyone in the world seems to think she is more than Just Friends with Superman.
- Comments: Very funny, amazingly well-written, and quite touching. Possibly the most in-character this troper has ever seen Diana be written in fanfiction.

Years After by Patricia de Lioncourt
- Recommended by Much Ado About Nonny
- Status: Dead
- Pairings: Batman/Harley Quinn (no, don't leave yet...), Poison Ivy/ Clayface
- Synopsis: The year is 2012, and things in Gotham are a little different. Batman is no longer needed, and his Rogues' Gallery mostly all come to sanity. But when a new force threatens to bring back the criminals, will the Dark Knight reemerge?
- Comments: Very well done in this troper's book. The style is creative, and the writer is realistic about the Rogues' en masse Heel–Face Turn. A bit optimistic for my tastes at some points, though it's nothing a good flashback Character Development can't fix. Unfortunately seems to be dead at five chapters...though the writer is working on multiple other fics simaltaneously, so there is a slight chance she might get back to it.

A Painful Beginning by Christopher W. Blaine
- Recommended by: Ariachus
- Status: One-shot.
- Synopsis: The Crisis on Infinite Earths resulted in the entire DC multiverse being stripped away and replaced with one reality. Many of the top characters received new origins that were so far removed from their previous ones, that it was almost like they were a completely new character. Some characters, such as Batman, received very little tweaking to their beginnings. If a hero received a major revamp, what actually happened to the previous incarnation of the character? In recent years, the concept of Hypertime has shown that the multiverse did not cease to exist, only that traversing the dimensional barriers is harder to achieve than before the Crisis. Earth-1, the home of the Silver Age characters, still sits in its own dimension, but is still suffering from the effects of the Crisis. While recording a simple Justice League log entry, five years after the Crisis, chairwoman Barbara Gordon, also known as the Batwoman, details the major events that have occurred since the defeat of the Anti-Monitor.

Crossovers
The Laughing Fox by Lord Drafon Claw
- Recommended Kereea
- Status: Dead
- Synopsis: An insane crossover between Justice League and Naruto where the young Naruto grows up under the care of The Joker and Harley Quinn who move to Konoha when he's five and become the Uzumaki Clan with the Joker becoming a top interrogator.
- Comments: This fic never stops the laughter, though it does delve into the darker sides of the Joker and Naruto by extension, it still never stops being funny. The Joker is simply a riot, and becomes a very powerful ninja along with Harley and Naruto with the use of fish, squirting flowers, slapstick, and pure insanity. The author admits in the summary that it is not to be taken too seriously, so some suspension of disbelief is warranted for certain scenes (like Naruto fighting Kiba in the preliminaires).
- Comment #2 Though a good story, true, and suspending your disbelief is neccesary to read this book, some doubts on the author's treatment of basically all the DCAU's 'good guys'. Maybe not the author's intention, but the Joker's got on a new pair of pants when compared to the spoilerd event-type thingy that could rub people the wrong way. The rest is pretty good, however.

- YMMV: The first echos many elements of Spider-X. Later books drop much of the lightness and romance of the first story and get rather dark and complex (including Alpha Couple Clark and Rogue break up and Rogue becomes evil and betrays all the X-Men to the Brotherhood. There is little warning for this, as the author seems to constantly foreshadow Clark and Rogue working things out so readers should be warned that the third book reads like a totally different series.

- The Last Son, Book One: Gatherings
- Comments: This is one of the best crossover fics between Marvel and DC that I have ever read. What initially starts as a simple Superman/X-Men crossover eventually turns into a MASSIVE crossover between what appears to be the entire Marvel and DC universes. A three-part story (with a fourth currently incomplete), this is an enormous feat of writing, and one that The Writer With No Name accomplished amazingly well. Of note is how Superman, while the main character, does not dominate the narrative - other members of the X-Men (and later, the JLA) have their moments in the spotlight. Aspects of this fic are taken from the X-Men: Evolution TV show, Ultimate Marvel, DC comics, and a variety of other comics and TV shows that feature these characters. While long (1,446,213 words and counting for all three parts), it is an amazing read! Now if only somebody would make a TV show out of this...
- While I do have to admit that this fic has a lot of flaws, such as overpowered DC characters, underpowered Marvel characters, and a stupid love interest who is NOT Lois Lane, this was the first fanfic I ever read and also helped get interested into Marvel. A must read for people first getting into fanfics.

One on One by Jake Thomas
- Recommended by Kchishol
- A suspicious young runaway woman is interviewed in the park by Clark Kent, who promises to give back her lighter and leave her alone after he asks 10 questions.
- Comments: With only a shoestring budget, Jake Thomas creates a powerfully simple story in which Clark Kent satisfies his curiosity and concern for a lonely girl. In doing so, he inspires her with a reason to hope not through superhuman feats, but through the simple compassion to listen.

- Crossover with: Dragon Ball
- A What If? series that explores the idea of the Saiyans as characters in the DC Universe.
- Comments: This is a video series that shows an amazing amount of love for both franchises, with all the action, humor and feels you would expect from Dragon Ball and DC. While the Saiyans are the main characters, the series does a much better job than Dragon Ball balancing its cast and gives the non Saiyans plenty of moments to shine, while also exploring Saiyan power in ways that better build up the mystique of it than in canon.

Hope by Dan Haring
- Recommended by Jeduthun
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): None.
- Synopsis: A short, elegant fan comic by Disney artist Dan Haring shows Superman stopping by the Kent farm to have a touching conversation with his mother, who encourages him with some wisdom about dealing with the times he can't save people.
- Comments: It's just a little eight-page comic, but in one short vignette that's nothing more than a chat between Clark and Martha, Haring captures the essential heart of the Superman legend better than many elaborate official stories and movies manage to do. Be prepared for a few heartwarming sniffles and the sudden urge to call your mom afterward.
