Fic Recs anyone?


I have read most of the best DGM stories already but am sure there must be a few ones out there I still have missed. Anyone got good Yullen, AreKan, Lucky, Laven, Lavanda, Almanda, Allink, Kanlina, Tyki x Kanda or any-other-pairs-fics to recommand to this story-deprived fan? Thanks!

I FEEL YOUR PAIN.

Seriously, I just decided to get back into DGM after years of bouncing around from one fandom to another. The first thing I did, of course, was search for stuff to read. Then I got all sadface because I'm stupidly picky and couldn't find nearly enough good fic to satisfy me.

But! I'm currently in the process of making my own recs here (http://yumemiya.livejournal.com/tag/recs%3A%20fanfiction), so maybe you'll be able to find something you haven't read already. [livejournal.com profile] tomomichi also has a bunch of recs here (http://tomomichi.livejournal.com/tag/fic%3A%20d.gray-man). She has great taste! And recs for tons of fandoms.

Hope that helps~ ♥

Old site and sadly some of the links don't work, but there's a large amount of recommendations for DGM and other fandoms.

and it seems that recently the FF.Net section for DGM is just... /)_(\

Are you limiting yourself to just pairing fics? Or would friendship fics do okay as well?

I'm thinking of shamelessly recommending my own, except that my fics have no pairings and definitely no yaoi.

[identity profile] eien-ren.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's true, there are not many fics of my favorite pairing ( Tyki x Kkanda) but the one's that I have found are AMAZING.
But I'll be damned if I could find them again.

BUT ainoche's 'Scold's Bridal is quite possibly th best thing I have read-EVER. It was porn AND it got into my head.

[identity profile] mittens-220.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
What's with that o.o reaction? XD

It's more angsty than friendship though. Kanda Lenalee friendship and other stuff, mostly one shots

[identity profile] bloodi-corset.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I feel kinda guilty but I'm gonna rec my own fics, only if you're interested though. I used to write quite a bit of DGM fic (mostly AreKan) not so much anymore....sigh.

These are my two favorite fanfics.
Mind you I'm kind of sadistic, so all of these reflect that but at the same they are amazing stories

Scold's Bridal
Tykanda Lavi Kanda
Non-con, mind fukary, incredibly story
http://ainoche.livejournal.com/tag/scold%27s%20bridle

Aquiescence
Lucky, AllKan
Lots of blood, violence, and non-con amazing AU mafia-story
http://anime.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600049569

There's another really good one called " How many steps" but I can't find it anywhere. ;_;

[identity profile] kohikari.livejournal.com 2011-05-13 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh geez, Scold's Bridle, I remember that one. (Tyki/Kanda and Kanda/Lavi, not...necessarily in that order...I'll never understand the whole hierarchy thing in slash pairings...) It's...kind of a mindfuck, well written and with a relatively happy ending but kind of psychological and brutal to get through, considering how it's named after one of the medieval torture devices employed over the course of the story. (Alas, poor Kanda. XD; ) I read it on the LJ; it's probably also on ff.n, I'm just not sure where. http://ainoche.livejournal.com/979.html <-- first chapter.

Also, there are comms for those pairings-- http://alma-kanda.livejournal.com/ and http://linkxallen.livejournal.com/ , in case you weren't already aware of them. I kind of wish there were an indexing/search system like fanfiction.net's for all the fic on LiveJournal, but at least there are communities dedicated to bringing them together, yeah?

alerts died for me -.-

Anyway, fanart--generally, if you click on anything that says "gallery" or "main," it leads you to the art. (My own Japanese is spectacularly fail, fff).

and I think they did. Or they got overrun by the CanonCharacter/OC pairings :T

I feel your pain with Tyki/Kanda, BUT there is one author on FF.net that writes them.

Lee Isidor!

[identity profile] kohikari.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Kohikari, the almanda community is already under my watch and track, considering I'm its creator XD

*head x desk: OTP*

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. ^^; One of these days I'll have the perfect storm of bored + procrastinating and I'll run around and make a central index of all LJ communities involving D.Gray-fic...that's on my to-do list right after "index and tag all kinkmeme entries" and right before "acquire pony".

[identity profile] kohikari.livejournal.com 2011-05-17 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Seeing as the two of you are fans of Lee Isidor, do either of you have any idea what happened to Sketchy Theater? I got the alert for chapter 12 one day and all of a sudden the story had ceased to exist.

(There's another author on ff.n who writes TykiKanda, if I can think of her name; I know she wrote a story about cellist!Kanda going to a music school on scholarship that was accused of being similar to Sketchy Theater, and I think she wrote another one where Tyki was a stage magician...ummm. Frick.

...Aha! Found her. Dunno if she's as good as Lee Isidor, but. ^^; http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1269844/Crimson_Minamino

Also there are 95 stories (http://www.fanfiction.net/anime/D_Gray-Man/10/0/0/1/0/5198/5229/0/0/1/) in the D.Gray-man archives on ff.n coded under "Tyki Mikk" and "Kanda Yuu", but I have no idea how many of those might be random OC pairings, so.)

Personally I think the whole Alma thing's hilarious--it takes a hardcore troll to have your moneymaking tall-dark-and-bitchy character elope with his undead transgendered ex-girlfriend from a former life. The story's also horrifically tragic and all that, a real tearjerker, I just have a habit of focusing on the lulz too much. Although, I'd say he's a little more like Lavi in his mannerisms, in being annoying and trying *so hard* to be ~friends~; he's not quite at Allen's level of martyrdom--doesn't have the hero complex--but he's plenty suicidal all the same. I've actually heard boy!Alma described as Allen's and Lavi's illicit love child. Frankly I always thought he most resembled Umino Iruka and/or Rock Lee from Naruto, at least physically... I guess people hate him because he threatens their pet Kanda OTPs, and/or appears to have removed Kanda from the story altogether? Sir Ponytail is rather popular with the fangirls, and it's almost inevitable that a canon romantic interest of his would be reviled.

Nah, I don't have the attention span for that--I'm currently monogamous with D.Gray, so that's the only fandom I really care about at the moment. ^^;

Ah, that's a shame. Oh well. Thanks for letting me know!

You've probably already read these, but among the few D.Gray-fic I've actually gotten around to favoriting are:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5740485/1/Keep_Me_Warm_in_Your_Love_Then_You_Softly_Leave (no idea why it's titled that way, but this story is all dialogue and left me with a powerful craving for seabream.)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3333646/1/Four_Views (a mix of genres, ranging from gen to pr0n to tragedy and everything inbetween; one of the first D.Gray-fic I ever read, and the first to make me cry.)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5410258/1/Environmentally_Friendly (the premise sounds crazy until you realise how much Kanda would appreciate the fact that trees don't talk.)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3976815/1/Sorpresando_Amor (actually, this one is absolutely terrible, I just like it because it's a parody of telenovelas and also hilarious.)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4039355/1/The_Mediocre_Wizard_Of_BOZ (straight-up Oz parody, what more can I say.)
