* ''Comments'': Has a sequel: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11952546/1/ I Bet My Life]]

* Comments: This is a really great fic, expanding a bit on Megavolt's past and saying that maybe it isn't completely hopeless for him. There's a bit of a DownerEnding, but it is very much still worth the read.

* Comments: A tragic set of character-driven oneshots, featuring a unique spin on the idea of evil counterparts. Darkwing is forced to make the worst arrest of his life, of the unlikeliest of criminals, but while the heel-turn is heartbreaking it also turns out to be surprisingly in-character and decently well explained as the story goes on, which of course only serves to make it sadder still. The whole thing ends surprisingly neatly, but it makes a good case for why it might not have in the end. An entertaining and gripping brief experience.

* Comments: This story delves into the background of the Negaverse's versions of the Fearsome Five, the Friendly Four, and the reasons that they became heroes, rather than villains. The author not only fleshes out these characters, but takes the time to create alternate versions of other characters as well. It's currently unfinished and approaching a DeadFic, but it's a still a rather good read.

* Synopsis: "A determined rat. A crazed toymaker. A friendly lab assistant. A simple salesman. In the Negaverse they are the Friendly Four. How would they come to fight the most evil duck in two universes? This is their beginning. Three years before Darkwing. Three years of destruction, war, and apocalypse. Three years for Negaduck to rise to rule all. How will the Friendly Four survive to be there for Darkwing? The next three years shall be their first of many challenges." Basically how the Friendly Four started in the Negaverse and the events before Darkwing Duck's arrival in "Life, the Negaverse, and Everything."
* Comments: Very entertaining and well-written. The various Nega-version of different characters and OriginalCharacter help flesh out this universe while the four heroes try to make a difference in the time period before Darkwing's appearance. And now has a [[FanFic/NegaverseChronicles trope page]].

* Synopsis: "Taurus Bulba kidnaps Gizmoduck to get spare parts for his own failing mechanical body, and F.O.W.L. High Commander Belle Beakford abducts Gyro Gearloose in an attempt to get a Gizmosuit. Darkwing is forced to work with both F.O.W.L. and Gizmoduck to stop Bulba...but can any of them trust the others?"
* Comments: Well-written, well plotted and very entertaining. Everyone is kept nicely in character and the [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]] that show up are some of the best in the fandom. Well fleshed out, sympathetic and believable, and this is from a troper who usually avoids fics starring [=OCs=] like the plague. So nice to find an exception. It says there's a chapter missing but don't worry, the fic is actually complete and has a prequel that's pretty awesome too.

* Synopsis: Gosalyn, Darkwing, and Launchpad, experiencing the trials and tribulations that come with being an unusual family.
* Comments: Set right after the pilot, this story shows everyone getting used to their new lives. And a few misunderstandings from those who meet them...

* ''Synopsis'':Darkwing Duck has been missing for over seven years, and is presumed dead by most, if not all. But that might change when Gosalyn finds a clue that indicates otherwise...

* ''Comments'': I really like this piece of fanfiction. It really feels like an episode of the series, and that's saying something.

* ''Synopsis:'' Five years after the death of the original Darkwing, Gosaline Waddlemyer [[LegacyCharacter becomes the new hero]] that St. Canard deserves.

* ''Synopsis:'' Members of the Negaverse are the polar opposites of their normal universe copy. Good is evil and villains are heroes. The only exception is Gos and NegaGos. While different, both are definitely good. At least, until recent. Now, DW must face the result.

** This writer does their research. Not only do they go into detail of the mechanics of just about any piece of technology that is brought into the series. They also seem to enjoy the possibilities of the multi-verse. Not only is the Negaverse explored in greater depth (introducing more of the normal character's alter-egos), but other possible universes are explored in a way reminicent of the comic arc "Crisis of Infinite Darkwings" (but Scyphi started this long before the Darkwing Duck comic came into existence). Some time travel is also brought into the story and even a few pieces of technology that draw inspiration from {{Stargate SG1}} make an appearance. Essentially, anything that could possibly fit within the scientific laws established by the television series or, at least, doesn't break any of those laws, has a strong possibility of being addressed eventually.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[EveryoneIsGay homosexual]] or [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* ''Synopsis'': After Darkwing's brief stint in the Negaverse, the world is looking a bit better, but still has a long way to go. During dinner on night, Nega-Gosalyn asks about the Friendly Four's pasts, and a night of stories commences.

Overall, a brilliant piece of work that will keep you occupied for a long time.

* ''Comments'': The series was started far before Darkwing's return in comic form was ever considered, so all the events and ideas are based off the television show alone. The first story is mostly about Darkwing's return and laying down the groundwork, but the second one is set up like an on-going series with each chapter acting as an entire episode with overlapping major story arcs to tie it all together. Currently, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4250231/1/The_New_Adventures_of_Darkwing_Duck The New Adventures of Darkwing Duck]]
has over eighty chapters and 1,000,000 words. And while new characters are introduced over the course of the story, they all seem to fit into the universe seamlessly. And old characters, like the Fearsome Five or the members of SHUSH, receive plenty of character development over the course of the series. One of the larger issues earlier in the series is exploring how Gosalyn [[spoiler: and later, Honker,]] handle the responsibility of gaining a larger, crime-fighting role and how Darkwing deals with that particular situation. Action and characterization are always held in equal importance. The last story arc finished before the current pause in posting (which the writer referred to as a seasonal break, like for a television show) just dealt with [[spoiler: Negaduck taking over all of St. Canard with most of the population, including Darkwing himself, under mind control]]. Scyphi has a habit of creating REAL challenges for the Masked Mallard and leaving readers on the edge of their seats.
