Resident Evil/Fanfic Recs
Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for here.

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.
Page Reconfiguration in Progress: Fan Fic Recommendations is being split into pages for each individual series, so help is needed to classify each entry into the appropiate category, and to format it according to the template.
Authors, and Websites
- Recommended by Vyctorian
- As it was already mentioned in the Silent Hill Fan Fic Recommendations, she's a superb writer. Possibly the best in the fandom, if not at least one of the best. Warning: Adult.
- Recommended by Crow T R0bot
- She has authored several RE fics, but the three that stand out are Resident Evil: Project Lucifer, a story about two ordinary high school students in love who get caught up in the Raccoon City outbreak. The first half is mostly their troubles with more game relevant problems going on in the background, but it keeps you interested long enough to stay with it until the actual Zombie Apocalypse gets in full swing. The other two fic recs are its sequel, Resident Evil: Fallout and its prequel, Resident Evil: Double Amber which circles around Jill Valentine's BFF/Joseph Frost's girlfriend, RPD lieutenant Amber Bernstein, and covers the events from between the first game to the events of Project Lucifer.
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.
- Recommended by Gelious.
- Synopsis: AU from the end of RE 5, where Sheva dies, Jill remains Wesker's puppet,and they escape from Chris to release Uroboros once again...in USA. Soon the virus spreads all over the world, however, it isn't Wesker's victory, more like his complete failure (replace hords of zombies from movies with packs of Uroboros. Have fun!). The story describes lives of Jill, Chris, Wesker and Claire (a bit) After the End, focusing on their thoughts and emotions.

- Synopsis: The survivors deviate from the Resident Evil Outbreak plot and end up drunk, sexed up, dead, undead, high, robbing a bank, and more. Also, Kevin decides he wants a piece of David. Confusion and frustration follow.
- Comments: A clusterf*** of randomness that can be described as "Exposition, getting drunk, dance with zombies, become serious, take a jackhammer to the fourth wall, and more". It's really hilarious because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Not for the faint of heart, or faint of lung, although YMMV.
ACT 4: BIOHAZARD The Prelude to Horror by noctorro
- Recommended by Crow T R0bot
- Synopsis: Follows Kenneth Feng, a young intern at the RPD who finds himself in the background of both the game's canon, as well as with the OCs of several other author's fan characters, resulting in an unusual fan-made Expanded Universe that's arguably Better Than Canon. It also includes HHoD's (mentioned above) plus several others (including a crossover with the fic below).

Darkness Arises and Darkness Arises: Reborn by Metal Harbinger
- Recommended by Crow T R0bot.
- Synopsis: Follows Jake Cavanaugh, a Badass Longcoat hitman who has been hired by a mysterious client to assassinate William Birkin. He arrives in Racoon City just in time to be caught up in the Outbreak and proceeds to fight his way through the zombie hordes while having chance encounters with various characters throughout the city.
Welcome To Umbrella (Foul language, with on average one F bomb in all 14 chapters.)
- Recommended by Zerban
- Pairings: Tongue-in-cheek crack pairing of Dr. Marcus and his various lab animals whenever he is 'on-page'.
- Synopsis: July 1998. A scientist named Matt Brennan is hired by Umbrella when 90% of their workforce is lost in a lab accident. A rookie S.T.A.R.S member with old scars, both mental and physical, named Kate Parker is in a training exercise when she leaves with Bravo team to investigate in the Arklay Mountains. When she and Matt meet on the Ecliptic Express, they realize just how nonsensical their situation is, and team up with the series protagonists to lampoon Umbrella's various stupid decisions and get out of the nightmare alive.
Don't Fear the Reaper (Contains one F-bomb per chaper)
- Recommended by Zerban
- Pairings: Features a tongue-in-cheek crack ship of Barry and Wesker, though it's mostly Barry yelling about Wesker's sexy body at inopportune times.
- Synopsis: Matt and Kate have followed Rebecca into the Spencer Mansion. They attempt to meet up with Chris and Jill as Wesker manipulates the team from behind the scenes. Will Matt and Kate Solve the Soup Cans together, or will their next emblem puzzle be their last?
- Comments: Continues the trend set by its prequel Welcome to Umbrella with lampooning, subverting, lampshading, averting and parodying. Includes some Mind Screw time warping to show alternate scenes and develops Matt and Kate as characters. In progress, currently up to the defeat of Plant 42.
