General
- Recommended by pitac89
- Status: WIP
- Synopsis: What if Jim used his second chance a little more sensibly? What if he knew better than to leave everything to chance? So, he promised himself to intervene only once. Only one time, because now he doesn't have any armor or a big sword to back him up. He only has his memories … and he will not give them to just anyone. Unbecoming AU.

Your Future Hasn't Been Written Yet by Sakon76
- Recommended by tgsr
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: Jim Lake may be "Young Atlas" but he's also learned that he works best with people supporting him. If he's going to fix the world, he needs help. He needs his team back.
- Pairings: Jim Lake Jr./Claire Nuñez, Walter Strickler/Barbara Lake
- Comments: A very rich, sprawling post-ROTT story that makes the most of the infamous time travel ending to not only create a story faithful to both the Tales of Arcadia saga and its themes, but also expands on it with more characters getting involved with Jim and the gang (especially Douxie), plus its own lore that can just as easily fit with the rest of the show's world. Combine that with thrilling prose, action and drama, and pop culture references galore, and you get a story that could even give Guillermo Del Toro a run for his money (and he even gets a cameo, too!).

Alternate Universe
Blue Moon Rising by Uncreativefanficwritername- Recommended by rainraingoaway
- Status: Dormant; last updated November 2019
- Synopsis: Alternate universe where Jim was born a Half-Changeling and is taken in by the Janus Order after getting kidnapped by human scientists. Follows similarly to the canon storyline in which he finds the amulet and becomes the Trollhunter, but has several new twists and turns.
- Pairings: Jim Lake Jr./Claire Nuñez, Walter Strickler/Barbara Lake
- Comments: Very fun and engaging fanfic. There's a lot of character development and funny moments. Romance is a small part of it but most of the story is gen. Definitely recommend if you like AU stories. There are a few grammar mistakes but overall the story is great.
Crossover
Visitors From Afar bycg99- Recommended by sabo88
- Crossover with: Worm
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Jim, Claire, Blinky and Merlin fall into a new world. A world with Superheroes! Well, that doesn't seem so bad. Oh wait. It's Worm.
- Pairings: Jim Lake Jr./Claire Nuñez
- Comments: From the same author who brought us Miraculous Escalation comes a new well-written, action-packed story that just like the author's previous work makes an excellent job of balancing the darker, more mature storylines of Worm with the lighter elements of Troll Hunters. A great work that will please fans of both series.
