Psychonauts/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Psychonauts fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found here. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will be Zapped. Nobody would back up the rec.

You can also add to the current recommendations if you want. Refrain from posting Conversation In The Main Page though; that goes in the discussion page.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

General Fics
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

Curses! by Threepwillow


 * Recommended by Kendroid
 * Synopsis: "Fourteen-year-old Razputin Aquato is the only one his father can trust to break the curse on their family. Can he and Lili track down the last remaining Galochio before it's too late?" The story is set four years after the game. It has OCs, but they are believable. This is a very fun fic to read with mental worlds that seem like they could be in the game.
 * Pairing(s): Raz/Lili
 * Tags: Original Flavor
 * Status: Completed

The Worst Summer Ever by volta_arovet
 * Recommended by Cass
 * Also found here
 * Synopsis: "Between the stupid summer camp, the dorky campmates, and the crazy Russian counselor she suspected was trying to kill them all, Monica was sure that this was going to be the worst summer ever." Obviously OC-heavy, since it focuses on a new set of campers, but the author had the Psychonauts-weirdness down when it came to creating them. And Mikhail just sparkles, as do the other canon characters who have cameos as members of the camp staff.

Failure in Stone by Space Kase
 * Recommended by Blazichu
 * Synopsis: "Agent Ford Cruller knew he had limits. He just didn't think he'd reach them so soon..."
 * Ford muses on his own mental state, once in the 'past' (during the game) and once in the 'present' (years after the aforementioned game).

Cerebral Soldiers by Atrophy Conception
 * Recommended by Thedoctorscompanion
 * Synopsis: Set six years after the end of the first game, Raz has been kidnapped during a mission, and is forced to work for Ford's rival. He trains a boy named Stephen, in the hopes that instead of being the spy he was sent to be, he'll instead defect to the Psychonauts and help take down the man keeping him there. There are a good amount of OCs, but they're fairly well written. Old characters show up as either re-occurring in the story or as cameos. POV's switch from person-to-person, so that you get more of the story and don't get bored with just one person's thoughts. 29 good-sized chapters so far.
 * Pairings: Raz/Lili later on.
 * Status: Imcomplete, due to the author working on other projects.

Shipping Fics
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Love Works in Weird Ways by FluffleNeCharka (homosexual and heterosexual pairings, non-canon settings for chapters revolving around characters existing in different mind realms)
 * Recommended by Skullsmuggery
 * Pairings: So many.
 * Synopsis: An anthology of romantic oneshots taken mostly from review requests, though some chapters enter platonic territory when it becomes unfeasible to match up certain characters in that way.
