* Most of her work is Kingdom Hearts, but the ongoing drabble collections of "Iconographs" and "Collection of Moments" are full of magnificent character studies.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6175376/1/Cunning_Artifice Cunning Artifice]'' by Fanless

* ''Synopsis'': In the Ankh-Morpork of a distant future, there lives a brilliant scientist and two men who are not all they seem.

* ''Comments'': [[X Meets Y|Pratchett meets Asimov]] in the best possible way--though the characters are transferred to a new setting, their voices and personalities are perfectly [[Canon]].

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1267604/1/Exit_Interviews Exit Interviews]'' by Casira

* ''Synopsis'': Ever wondered how Susan went from being a governess in ''Hogfather'' to a schoolteacher in ''Thief of Time''? This fic will tell you.

* ''Comments'': A very sweet story showing how Susan deals with "CONCLUSIONS AND DEPARTURES," to quote her grandfather. Good [[Original Flavor]], fits seamlessly into canon.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6519502/1/ Unwound]'' by Miss Yetigoosecreature

* ''Synopsis'': There was a Sam Vimes she knew, who went out and came home again, and out there was another Sam Vimes who hardly belonged to her and lived in the same world as all those men with the dreadful names.

* ''Comments'': A brilliant expansion from a line from The Fifth Elephant which perfectly captures Sam Vimes' struggle with his inner beast, especially when he's dealing with the most horrible things humans can do.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1222225/1/ Employment]'' by Makou

* Synopsis: "Shortly after that ugly business with the Octavo, Rincewind finds himself in The Mended Drum feeling sorry for himself. He isn't the only one."

* Comments: Nice look at how and why Rincewind started in at the Library. Set between The Light Fantastic and Sourcery.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5658003/1/ Inspiration]'' by Indigo Tantarian

* Synopsis: "What inspired Ponder to search for solutions beyond traditional magic, or Rincewind to open the Octavo? Probably nothing like this, but between the Trousers of Time and quantum, you can't be sure."

* Comments: Good look at Rincewind and Ponder as students at UU. Which may not make sense by the unofficial official Discworld timeline, but blame it on the History Monks and enjoy the story, because it's a very good rendering of all the characters involved.

 

''[http://paulejamison.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45&Itemid=48 Due Rimward]'' by Paul Jamison.

* Synopsis: ''[[Due South]]'' crossover. Ray and Fraser arrive in Ankh-Morpork, and help stop a nobleman with an evil plan.

* Comments: A brilliant grasp of all characters (it manages to maintain ''both'' [[Original Flavor|Original Flavors]]), with much made of the similarity between Constable Fraser and Captain Carrot.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6305818/1/Policing_Middle_Earth Policing Middle Earth]'' by aoteoran.

* Synopsis: Lord Vetinari has made contact with Steward Denethor via a possibly malfunctioning palantir. He is prevailed upon to send Sam Vimes into Middle Earth as a tenth member of the Fellowship of the ring, so as to hold together a party of inept dreamers and make a long-shot desperate idea work. Watch and laugh as Discworld conceptions of elves, trolls, wizards, Dwarfs, et c, clash with Middle Earth's rather nobler ideals. Vimes duly treats the War of the Rings with the same "breach of the peace" attitude he expressed over the Leshp war...

* Shipping: none. don't waste time looking for it.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5016509/1/The_New_Guild The New Guild]'' by A.A. Pessimal.

* Synopsis: a good short introduction to the works of A.A. Pessimal. Over sixty fanfics submitted and most of them Discworld. Lord Vetinari has to rule on the establishment of a new City Guild, and whether or not to award it a Charter in the face of determined opposition from vested interests.

* Comments: funny and witty and succeeding in overturning and subverting what was already a Discworld subversion. Open it up and read the unanimously good reviews it garnered.

 

''[http://archiveofourown.org/works/244534 Mr. Vimes'd Go Spare!]'' by Lunik

* Synopsis: In the wake of the death of his Grace Sir Samuel Vimes, the various city watches across the Disc are brought together in a way seldom observed among coppers.

* Comments: An impressive little fic that explores the idea, introduced at several points in the Discworld series, that "a man's not dead as long as his name is still spoken". Death may have come for Sam Vimes, but his legacy lives on... with, ultimately, unusual results.
