''FanFic/FateSoulsAndSingularities'' by Mundatorem
* Recommended by Witherbrine98
* ''Crossover with:'' VideoGame/FateGrandOrder
* ''Status'': Ongiong
* ''Synopsis:'' Singularities. Points in Human History which have become corrupted with the presence of a Holy Grail with the end result being the incineration of Humanity. However, it is not the Grails alone which are divergent. The Incineration comes about as one world in particular comes to an end. The two become linked as figures from a different Throne reach across the barriers between worlds.

* ''Comments'': An animated parody featuring several ''Dark Souls'' boss fights with the animation style and gameplay of ''Cuphead'' (in order: Ornstein & Smough, Quelaag, Sif, Gaping Dragon, a Mass of Souls, Gravelord Nito, and one of the Giant Trio). The boss mechanics are exceptionally well-translated to 2d; one could almost see these as actual ''Cuphead'' fights, just with the Chosen Undead and Solaire as the playable characters.

Cutting wicks to Mary Sue.


** Seconded. AuthorAvatar isn't a MarySue without being useless, good humour while maintaining tension, characters have been portrayed well so far, and the author does a great job of giving a depiction of Lordran as if it was a real, living world, not a location in a video game. Even game mechanics are translated! The only problem: The author takes so long to update...

* Recommended by swmiohz
* ''Status'': Dormant
* ''Synopsis'': An undead is freed from the asylum, and begins to rediscover his lost connection to the land of Lordran.
* ''Comments'': After the usual intro, the story begins to diverge as Giroldus takes charge of his fate, eventually forming an unexpected romance. While it does play out like a power fantasy at times, it generally only veers into this territory if it would add more action to the story, and this trait does not stop Giroldus from dying. Sadly, as of this comment, the story was left on a cliffhanger.

* ''Comments'': Not just a great fanfic, but a fantastic story overall that serves as a magnificent loveletter to Dark Souls. This story is nearly 400.000 words of pure writing talent, and by the end will leave any fan of the first Dark Souls an emotional wreck. This story should for certain be published in stores as a full-sized book. It is really that good.

* ''Comments'': I went into this fanfic thinking it's going to be...less than good. After all crossing over an anime with a game like Dark Souls doesn't seem like an idea I'd even consider. However - this proved me wrong as this is a very well-written piece. Not only does it keep up with the lore of both sources, it also gives some great characterization to most characters. Definitely worth a read, though you must consider the fact of some one the ideas being made-up by the author. If that doesn't bother you - go right in, you won't regret it.

* ''Comments'':This fic is when you take For Want of Nail and just keep hammering it down. Every little edit the MC makes just pushes Dark Souls even further into Holy Shit levels, one example Oscar survives and shit just goes awry from there. It's a very cheeky fic that does pretty well to incorporate how dark and unpredictable Dark Souls is, with the usual enthusiasm of a 'Self-Insert' trying to make things better, while at the same time is making it worse. While not exactly the best written as some scenes come of a awkward sometimes, some scenes where they show just how much change is happening due to the MC involvement is very unique and interesting.

* Recommended by Hello101
* ''Synopsis'': A small drabble based on Dark Souls III, going by the "Usurp The Fire" ending.
* ''Comments'': A small one-shot post VideoGame/DarkSouls3, assuming that the Usurp the Fire ending was the [[EarnYourHappyEnding Earn Your]] [[AWorldHalfFull Half Full Ending]] for the Dark Souls universe by "transferring" the First Flame into every human in the world, ensuring that humanity itself would keep the threats of the Abyss and the fire fading more at bay as long as they existed. More positive than the normal series, but it also makes clear that the world is far from perfect, but there's hope for the future beyond the Fire fading away for good and the imminent death of all that is. Has a minor Ashen One/Fire Keeper romance. There are also several other fics by the author in the same or similar universes which are similar in tone.

* ''Synopsis'': "As the legends foretell, the end of the Age of Fire draws near, and it is the duty of the Ashen One to serve as a vessel for souls, traversing the deadly lands of Lothric and returning the Lords of Cinder to their thrones. This is not that story. [AU]"
* ''Comments'': What would have happened if the Ashen One never arose to seek the Lords? This story takes the route of showing the conflict between the remaining defenders of Lothric and the forces of Aldrich and Sulyvan as the Deep Lord makes his move to usher in his Age of the Deep. Features very good characterization and well written fights (prime example being [[spoiler:the Aldrich and Ludleth fight in Chapter 5]])
