The first four chapters or so of VQ are reasonably PG, but after that the vermin come in and things drop a tad. Then we get the death scene and that was well-written but still left me going D: for ages.
Fics on the links to authors' pages are rated individually.
So, if I could be permitted to give us a break from the unfolding wank over in that other thread, I was wondering what some of The Board's favorite goodfic are. Anyone want to share?
Me, I showed you one of them a while back, and I'm also particularly fond of this guy's stuff: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/574797/Cyber_Commander. He writes next-generation Yugioh fics with a very nice feel to them.
This and anything by this author. Also, this author. I'm sure there's more, but I can't really think of much at the moment.
I was searching Tv.Tropes last year when I encountered it in the FFR page for Warcraft. You were the one who put it there, didn't you? If so, Thank you for introducing me to it. I'm really glad.
I posted, then noticed that you'd recommended it.
Yes, I was the one who put the link up at TVTropes.

The Doctor is completely IC for once, the story has that NuWho feel despite taking place in Firefly, there are some nice Continuity Nods, and the Firefly canons and locations fit according to PPCers who watch the show.

Calvin and Hobbes.

This Warcraft fic, about a Forsaken traveler on a journey throughout Azeroth and Outland, is one of the reasons that I love the fandom.
PS: I wasn't there, since I lost internet acsess for several days. Is it over?
Elves, Hobbits, & Mary-Sues, Oh My Rather liked this one, despite it being a Mary Sue Girl-falls-into-ME Legomance. Also proves even more that, as Trojie and Pads stated, there is no such thing as a bad genre. Bast herself liked the fic, as shown in her reviews and her old FFN account's favorites list. I found it through there, and was not disappointed.
There's a most likely not dead sequel here. Seems the author is determined to prove that almost every single one of the PPC's most kill-worthy offenses can be written well, as this is a HP/LoTR crossover that doesn't have my blood boiling. I'm beginning to wonder if she'll try turning the Prophesied Hero OC or Woeful Angsty Past plot points into something readable next.
If you thought that was good, you might want to check out Mysterious Fate. I hated Legomance OCs before I read this, and now I more or less...have come to respect some of them? I don't know, it was just a really good fic. XD
Specifically, another 'let's write half the charges on the PPC chargelists into a good story' fic. If every author wrote as competently, the PPC would be out of work.
...Which is saying something, since it's not really a fandom of mine. XD
Wedding Night by PlayerPiano
It's Victor and Victoria's first night as a married couple...And they're both nervous enough to faint. Completed.

I've never even looked for fanfic of that one. Must go read. Thanks!
I just happened across it one day, read it because the summary seemed interesting, and enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you have fun reading it as well! :)
Corpse Bride has a-
Never mind. Everything has a fandom.
*pokes her Nanosaur plotbunnies somewhat wistfully*
"Everything has a fandom." ...Unfortunately. To justify my opinion, I present most Real People Fic and the Bible category. The latter section of the Pit has had a fic sent to the DoWTF, which says a lot.
And if anyone can find me an excellent, decently long Romance of the Three Kingdoms fic, Dynasty Warriors canon or not, I'll eat Sky Piercer.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanFicRecommendations
Got goodfic requests, add them to the list for all (who browse TvTropes) to find! And you can find other recommendations there as well if you're searching.
Apple and Kiwi. Some of the best stuff I've ever read. Here's a link to their bio page: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/789781/
Not sure if this classifies as fanfic but it is good. Hstaphath's Monty Python and the Lord of the Rings and Monty Python and the Hobbit. XenoCorp's websit is here: http://www.xenocorp.net/H_bardCorner/xcbard.htm

The Game of the Gods by Limyaael
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1518794/1/TheGameoftheGods
COMPLETE Morgoth and Varda are playing a little game. Morgoth's weapon: Mary Sues. Varda's weapon: Reality. Rated for violence and Vala OOCness.
Excellent fic. I highly recommend it.

Stumbled across that a while back and loved every second of it. Good stuff.
*threw in the last tense for fun*
I'll also plug her PPC stuff. 'Cause it's good.

But will only post my favorites.
Doctor Who

One of my favorites, great plot, great sex, great drama, great...everything.

Fantastic Four, by Tungsten Monk
http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=11289
"Rose has met her universe's Doctor, and she loves his scarf. His wife's not bad either. Together on the edge of space (once every Friday, anyway) they've formed their own little cozy brand of domestic. But when her Doctor comes looking for her, the one she knows now has got a few things to say to him."

A Little More Time, By Jess Pallas
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3688609/1/ALittleMoreTime
"DH Spoilers Was it possible to save two lives without altering history? Was it possible to given them a future twenty years after they had supposedly died? Teddy Lupin thought so..."
LOVE-a DH AU done right.
When Are We?, by Ramzes

"Teddy Lupin is one of three famous orphans to have graced the halls of Hogwarts. He thinks he knows what he wants in life. But will he go the way of Tom Riddle or Harry Potter? Post DH, TL & VW, first ever fanfic! please read"
It really is better then it looks- a different take on Teddy then most fanfics.
I know two of those authors. Tungsten Monk is a former PPCer, which you may know, but Jess Pallas hung out on the same Farscape message board I used to. I second those recommendations!

Insanely gory, creepy, mindscrewy fun. With cute little fluffy animals. Who die in horrible ways. What's not to love?
Also "Mary Mordor Sue": <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/953329/1/MaryMordorSue">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/953329/1/MaryMordorSue
Even more insanely gory, creepy, and mindscrewy. I've been tossing around the idea for a Redwall fic loosely based on this for ages but never got round to it.
Any fics written by these people are good:

... can I get you to email me as soon as possible on the address above? Alternately you can leave an email address here if you prefer. Thanks.

If its about something I've done wrong can you tell me here? Sorry if I have, I didn't mean to.
I'm trying to talk to the active Permission Givers about something without cluttering up the Board.
hS
I realise that even with my guilt complex I've said and done nothing here that can't be taken back, but I still hate thinking I've made friends unhappy for whatever reason.
Anyway, email is wordsmith101 at btopenworld dot com - punctuate appropriately, I'm trying to avoid spam.
I recommend anything (particularly Redwall) written by QuinlanOfRedwall: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/614754/QuinlanofRedwall
Seriously, his stories are incredibly well thought-out. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was BJ himself writing that stuff.
Most NSFW, but all *wonderfully* written.

- brilliant Merlin AU, set in Iraq - eventual Merlin/Arthur slash.
and also, a fic that proves, really well, that there's no such thing as a bad genre - Merlin Real Person Slash Mpreg (yes, you read that right). It's hilarious. - http://ifyouweremine.livejournal.com/139767.html#cutid1
Some new Star Trek fic:
http://ladyrogueevie.livejournal.com/66897.html - Kirk/Spock, asphyxiation kink.
http://raphaela667.livejournal.com/37366.html - Kirk/Spock, Sulu the king of gossip overhears something ...
http://mithrigil.livejournal.com/441538.html - Kirk/Spock, clinical porn.
http://irisbleufic.livejournal.com/147832.html - not much pairing but much hilarity; the Enterprise crew find some Nintendo gear to play with.
Narnia:
http://ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com/110194.html - Susan/Caspian, angsty, gorgeous writing.
Doctor Who:
http://community.livejournal.com/shaggydogstales/3672.html - the Doctor repeatedly trying to propose to the Master and the Master repeatedly committing suicide rather than accept, also hilarious.
http://googlebrat.livejournal.com/505772.html - Jack Harkness and the end of the universe ...
