These are a few links that used to be shared around quite often, if I recall correctly.

Incomplete Modern AU with reincarnation, guns, bands, and everything that I miss about modern AUs.
Mellon Chronicles, by Cassia and Siobhan

Aragorn and Legolas bro-fest so classic it practically created a couple tropes.
Warning: the site still runs perfectly well, but will likely try to tell you that it runs better on other platforms first.
BagEnders, by Lady Alyssa and RandomDent

Modern AU CRACK! This is so much crack that it is Legen-DARY. Parts of it are gone, possibly forever, alas. Cult classic, really.
I'll sort through my bookmarks and see if I can find anything else.

All that is left of it is a MST...
About a page and a half of OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN, as anyone who has read it will attest. Character oh god what is this, a killer monkey, and lots and lots of underaged, passionaty sex. Yes, you read that right...

Almost 60,000 words of Voyager characters engaging in thoroughly implausible and brain-destroying things (including the use of bodily fluids that really just Do Not Go There and human characters suddenly acquiring alien genitalia).

First Encounter
Summary: Hogwarts has contracted a disease called loneliness and the giant squid as the only cure. Hogwartsgiant squid
My Comments: This is a story about the giant squid buggering Hogwarts. Seriously. It is totally NOT SAFE FOR BRAIN. Bronwyn and Maslab have done a sporking of this fic, and it is fairly well-known. Come on vote for this one. It deserves to be on the Legendary Badfic page!

Honor Amongst Thieves
Vala Mal Doran steals a cargo ship but wrecks it on a backwater little farm planet whose people don't even speak a dialect she can understand. Fortunately, there is a stranger living among them who is able to translate. Ship ahoy! DanielVala
My thoughts: I remember finding this and being skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised. It focuses mainly on Vala and Daniel, but gives some time to the rest of SG-1 and other important characters.
To avoid gushing, it is fun in the 'Vala drags Daniel along for an adventure' way. They have misadventures, Daniel becomes a space pirate while remaining true to his personality, and it follows the canon timeline loosely, while still remaining independent.
I nominate it for either Sharefic, or Legendary.

I love me some good AU. Here are some great what-if stories that love and revere canon and cherish it and reap the fruits of their care in writing.
Final Fantasy VII
The Fifth Act, by Sinnatious
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5951824/1/TheFifthAct
-Perhaps the best 'time travel' fic I have ever seen. You know, the sort that has the main protagonist travel back in time in an attempt to fix the problems of the canon before they begin? It does have a happy ending, but manages to be so intelligent in regards in the canon and be so masterfully crafted with plenty of literary devices and twists that it makes a disturbing amount of sense... and is dramatic enough while doing it I actually got scared in the middle for the characters. It's a great AU, one of those 'this is how it really would have gone, I can't imagine it would go differently after reading this' stories. The characterization is spot on, even when the fates of certain characters are changed drastically...
The Legend of Zelda
Cry For Hyrule, by Seldavia
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3993350/1/CryforHyrule
- Yet another AU, this one exploring a possibility that the King of Red Lions' intentions have not always been pure. This AU fic is so rooted in the game's canon it is disturbingly convincing to some people, and even the parts that are made up fit in with other games in the series and make sense of the Zelda Timeline. This is a fic I found so powerful as a growing fanwriter that made it into my own personal fanon for The Legend of Zelda (Daphnes was actually using Link for his own ends, being the fanon)and coaxed me into a lasting friendship with Seldavia herself. This fanfic is on the tvTropes fanfic rec page for the Legend of Zelda... one among THREE fics there written by Seldavia, all recommended by DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
The Fourth Piece, by Davin Sunrider
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3616333/1/TheLegendofZeldaTheFourthPiece
- This fic takes a lot of hated tropes in The Legend of Zelda and remakes them as goodfic, with a lot of thought and skill put into the story. If you like long war sagas, this is for you. It isn't as perfectly based in canon as the others are on this list, but enjoyable nonetheless. And not only that, it starts out quite good but as you read it you can see it get better and better as the author takes advice from others.
Metroid
I, Pirate, by Seldavia*
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5451766/1/I_Pirate
-This fanfiction follows the Metroid Prime games, but not from the perspective of Samus. It follows the perspective of a Space Pirate of the science division that becomes self-aware due to Phazon radiation. The fic sheds so much light on the possible organization of Space Pirates, but it really earns gold stars for portraying this OC's growing and learning so well that the tired 'OC tags along with Samus' plot becomes so involved and believable that Samus' characterization actually becomes richer to the reader for it. In my personal opinion, this fanfic feels MORE LIKE CANON than the literal adherence to Metroid canon itself at times...
*Actually, can we just get Seldavia up here as a Legendary Goodfic author? This is not because she is my friend, but that I BECAME FRIENDS WITH HER because she wrote goodfic, and was the first goodfic writer I ever encountered... and she has not STOPPED writing goodfic, ever.

I nominate Alicorn24's Twilight fics Luminosity and Radiance (there's also Flashes, snapshots from universe of L and R).
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6137139/1/Luminosity
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6460146/1/Radiance
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6813856/1/Flashes
Quote the author: "Luminosity is similar to "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" in that the most significant difference is to the protagonist's rationality skills: Luminosity's Bella is a rational, smart self-knowledge junkie who wants to know what is going on in her brain. The story hugs canon pretty closely to start except in terms of inner monologue until chapter 4, and then it's unrecognizable. Elspeth, the narrator of "Radiance", is a semi-original character with her own approach to the theme. The Flashes will be mostly in third person and cover a wide variety of characters."
I've never read the HP one, but I hear it's good too. (not a nomination)

"Those Lacking Spines" (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2903858/1/ThoseLackingSpines) by Organization VI. It's a fantastic deconstruction of the various tropes and concepts behind badfic set in the Kingdom Hearts universe. Yeah, it's a bit trollish and heavy-handed with messages at times, but the humor more than makes up for it.
The story also has its own TV Tropes page, if anyone is curious. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/ThoseLackingSpines

Don't let you fooled by the title. This is one of the best fanfics I've ever read, a novelization of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War that not only develops a realistic personality for Blaze, manages to state that Mobius 1 and Blaze were the same person whithout running into clichès, and even the major canon breach (Chopper surviving the battle over the capital) is done in a wonderful way.
It even drops the Hyperspace Arsenal of AC planes and the "few planes against unlimited mooks" approach for a more realistic story.
Too bad it is a Dead Fic.

I would like to nominat the Good Omens fanfic 'A Spark of Goodness" http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7085070/1/ASparkof_Goodness for the sharefic page. It's a lengthy oneshot with a GO fandom rarity: a depiction of Aziraphale and Crowley as the heterosexual besties the authors intended! Not that there's anything wrong with shipping; don't get me wrong, I love A/C shipfic. But A/C non-shipfic is every bit as good, if not better, being closer to the canon and all.

I ask only because there's one particular author in the Stargate Atlantis fandom that is legendary for her Goodfic. They're solid pieces of work, and explore the military side of the fandom in depth.
The bulk of her work can be found here.
Fear - Animorphs Fanfic. by

Fear, by Lady Kino
Summary: Unlike those war heroes we hear so much about, I can tell you my name. I can tell you name and my address and my e-mail and not fear that someone will come to kill me. Because for a year and a half, I was a Controller. Complete!
My Comments: I've heard of the fic before, but only really read it on a recommendation from Guvnor of Space. After finishing it, I can only say that his view of it is merited, and much more. The OCs are well-characterized, with personalities that look and feel like real people. While the Canon Characters make few appearances (the Animorphs themselves show up two times in the later chapters), their influence can be felt all throughout the story, affecting the protagonist in both positive and negative ways.
The Particular Problem of Postern Prison by

I am nominating this fic for Sharfic or Legendary Goodfic status.
This is a Sherlock Holmes fic, by an author who has many great stories, but this one is the best of the best.
The Particular Problem of Postern Prison
Summary: Pride takes a fall when young Mr Holmes accepts a challenge from the Yard in another of his early cases. With his career in the balance, can he right old wrongs, renew past alliances and stay alive in the notorious Postern Prison? Seq to Chiro. COMPLETE!
My comments: This is the fourth story in a series of stories about a young Sherlock Holmes who is just beginning his career as a consulting detective. You do not have to read the others in the series first. There are a few mentions of events in the others, but this story carries its own weight. I recommend this story so highly that if it ever became possible for this author to sell this story (and the other three in the series) in physical book form--I'd pay actual money to own a copy.

You know, it's funny you should mention "sharefic", because I was itching to post a "goodfic recommendations" thread myself. It's also nice to know there's a Legendary Goodfic page here.
So I take it we start a new thread with our Bleepfic/Legendary Badfic and Sharefic/Legendary Goodfic nominations? That wasn't really that clear...
