General Fics

The Brain Damage Trilogy by Toasterman

• Recommended by USA Bobcat
• Synopsis: A rather long-running story set after the Brood War following the adventures and mis-adventures of a strange group of individuals including a Marine, Ghost, Reaper, Medic, Probe, Zealot and more as the series progresses. (Sic) (Taken from the Pit)
• Comments: A long-running trilogy that goes from lighthearted mocking of Starcraft fighting all the way to sinister plots and more. A Ragtag Band of Misfits form a mercenary band and kill a lot. Somehow manages to capture the feel of a world were a common Marine can die quite easily, but keeping the humor and the badassitude. Well worth a read, all the way to end of all three stories.

Next Steps by Qwerty-Man

• Recommended by USA Bobcat
• Synopsis: Post-Wings of Liberty. Kerrigan struggles to cope with her situation while the heroes from Starcraft gather to face the looming danger ahead.

Parallax by mirari1

• Recommended by Kadael
• Synopsis: During the "Supernova" mission of the Liberty campaign, the pilots of a terran banshee and Tal'darim phoenix crash-land on Typhon IX. Communications are down, their ships are in bad shape, and they don't feel inclined to trust each other.
• Comments: Although only the second chapter is up, it looks excellent so far. The characters are interesting, the prose and pacing fit with the dramatic-yet-humorous tone of the story, and the situation is something that certainly could happen during that mission.

A Hydralisk Named Bane, The Bane Series By Deadfast

• Recommended by Yellow 13
• Synopsis: A hydralisk with human level intelligence. Instead of being an evil, out of control monster, this Hydralisk is good and fights with his human friends.
• Comments: Slow updates, but each one is WELL worth the wait.

Aftermath and Revelations by Ragnarok666

• Recommended by DARTHYAM
• Synopsis: Kerrigan tries to find redemption for her sins, while Raynor and the others try to comprehend what is to come...
• Comments: Is weak in some areas it is pretty good overall. Kerrigan's revelation that she remembers every last one of her atrocities is genuinely heartbreaking, and the scene where she comes face to face with Artanis is also pretty intense. The author makes call outs to the Dark Templar Trilogy, and we get a glimpse of Duran and The Dark Voice.

Crossover Fics

Starcraft AU: Tiberium Galaxy by avatar-of-kane

• Recommended by Steel Dusk
• Synopsis: A StarCraft/C&C crossover alternate universe fanfic set after the events of Tiberian Twilight and during the events of StarCraft II.
