General Fics

The Two of Us Are Dying and assorted sequels and companions, by DJ_the_Writer

• Recommended by Kaza999
• Pairing(s): eventual Ofdensen/OC
• Synopsis: Charles Ofdensen has a lot of demons to deal with, both figurative and literal.
• Comments: Easily one of the best Metalocalypse fanfics this troper has ever read. Told from Ofdensen's point of view, it feels a lot like the show-as-told-by-Ofdensen. The author mixes in a surprising amount of realism while still keeping in with the tone of the show.

Dethlove by H.J. Bender

• Recommended by feral
• Pairing(s): Nathan/Toki
• Synopsis: After a totally brutal mishap on the dungeon stairs, Nathan develops feelings for Toki. Worried that this could totally ruin the band's image, he and Pickles hatch a plan to cope with it by writing the world's worst love song. Meanwhile their bandmates come to the conclusion that Nathan must be dying. Hilarity Ensues.
• Commentary: Very funny, really captures the spirit of the show.

Strangers Have The Best Candy by gossamerstarsxx

• Recommended by feralchildoftime
• Pairing(s): Skwisgaar/Toki if you squint
• Synopsis: It’s a terrible thing to be young and lost. No matter where you’ve lost your way—the most crowded town in the area, with grownups rushing by you without so much as a backward glance, or the unforgiving darkness of the forest with only bright yellow eyes to see you—you are utterly, totally alone. There is no familiar face to comfort you, nothing to recognize and cling to for support. There is nothing, and there is no one; there is only you and your desperate, unparalleled desire to be back amongst those you know best. But sometimes, you’re more lost in your own house than you are in the forest, more alone with those you know best than you are with strangers; more desperate for the unknown than for the familiar.
• Commentary: a bittersweet fic giving both insight into Toki's childhood and an interesting view of how he and Skwisgaar came to know each other. Funny in all the right places.

Or Perhaps the Decree of Fate by korr

• Recommended by Ho Yay Foe Down
• Pairing(s): Nathan/Charles
• Synopsis: Set Pre-Dethklok, an unlucky Charles, who starts off as a timid law clerk, meets Nathan and his life gets turned upside down as his apartment slowly becomes a halfway home for wayward musicians. SLASH
• Commentary: Most, if not all, of korr's Metalocalypse stories are wonderful. This one, to me at least, is just the best out of all of them. When not being hilarious or just plain sexy, it's actually a pretty intriguing read. Unfortunately though, it's still a work in progress.
