* ''Synopsis'': from the author's page: 'Post-Fusion. When the Federation condemns Adam for his role in the BSL Incident, Samus enlists the help of a young scientist to save him. As sinister forces array against them, they must race against time to uncover a conspiracy of galactic proportions.'
* ''Comments'': This was one of my first fanfics I had ever read, and if it hadn't been for it, I probably would have quit. The story is LONG but totally worth it. The mystery surrounding the conspiracy is very dense and intelligent, and you see the detective work of Samus and the scientist, CJ. Speaking of which, their relationship is incredibly believable, and you do see the relationship grow. The last scene of Chapter 12 is one of the most heart-stopping moments I have ever read. Plus, there are author notes that explain the science behind each chapter and includes musical selections for the chapters.
* ''Status'': Completed

* ''Synopsis'': From the authors' description: "Even legends have to start somewhere. An exploration of Samus Aran's rise from obscurity to greatness through a collection of independent, interconnected stories."
* ''Comments'': An oldie but goodie (to quote the authors, "Five years ago this thing started. Christ."), and very much in the style of ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' with a subtle hint of Metroid. SYNM is a series of linked oneshots that look at the rather hardscrabble beginning of Samus' career as a bounty hunter, long before she got involved with the Federation. Notable for excellent writing and plotting, as well as a truly amazing degree of ShownTheirWork; everything from the Federation's economy to the legal underpinnings of bounty hunting in the Metroid universe gets addressed at some point.

''[[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/hatchling-quest-worm-metroid.22540/ Hatchling Quest]]'' by [=ImmortalsBlade=].

* Has its own trope page [[Roleplay/HatchlingQuest here]].

* ''Status'': In Progress... but looks like it's entering DeadFic territory, what with the last update being in Feb. 2010.
** After over a year and a half of deadness, it has updated in Sept. 2011.

* DeadFic, as it hasn't been updated since June 2011. (It's 2017 at the time of this writing)

* ''Comments'': A novelization of Metroid Fusion that vastly expands on the plot of the game, as well as Samus' relation to Adam Malkovich. While the backstory has been {{jossed}} by ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' like crazy, it's still a great AU read anyway. Minor {{Shout Out}}s to Anime/CowboyBebop, ComicBook/{{Bone}}, StarCraft, and Manga/OutlawStar.

* ''Crossover with'': ''WebSerial/{{Worm}}''

* ''Comments'': While Tyrannolodon considers his prior works deep old shames that he'd rather people not read, he has earnestly worked at improving for his newest attempt at tackling Metroid. The usage of footnotes is also quite useful for offering details about the setting that the story itself can't cover. It's definitely worth checking the progress of even if there are some rough edges (particularly around dialogue and his issues with sporadic visualization aids and propensity to repeat a certain few words over and over). With the help of Mental Omega, writer of Red Alert Mental Effect; the story has had a fairly major rewriting that greatly improves the quality of the work. The action is overall top notch, intense and furious and Sylux (real name Sigmund von Schirmer) is ''adorable'' as a child. There's an obvious passion for the setting of Metroid and the exploration of at times deeply obscure parts of the setting. Who ever thought that there would be a ''Ylla'' character?

* Recommended by: Troper/ThePat
* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: Samus's journey in the world of the Kamen Riders continues. When an Earth Colony becomes invaded by an alien armada, a Norma named Ange is forced to leave her home planet with her two loyal companions, and ends up in the side of a five-man team of Kamen Riders known as the [[AvengersAssemble Space Avengers]], led by none than Samus herself!
* Crossover With: ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Anime/CrossAnge''
* Comments: The "season two" sequel to the aforementioned ''Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations''. Not only it co-exists with the current Kamen Rider season, ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'', Ange becomes a key character in this fic, Samus has come full circle with the present day and becomes humanity's line of defense, alongside the Kamen Riders. [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Mitsuzane]] and [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Gou]] are OlderAndWiser the last time we saw them, but emphasis on the wiser part. WordOfGod states that the fic may also involve exploring planets a la ''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters Prime Hunters]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption Prime 3]]''. For the ''Cross Ange'' continuity, it takes place three years after the series ended.

* ''Synopsis'': A young hatchling leaves her nest, and on her way to her destination she finds a dastardly plot: Space Pirates hve rigged an abandoned space station to fall on a planet in another dimension. She succeeds in saving the planet but finds herself trapped there with no way home. The world is primitive by her standards, but has many individuals with unnatural powers...as well as Chozo statues. Can Samus Aran handle Earth-Bet? Can Earth-Bet handle her? And what is the sinister plot that weaves it's way through both universes?
* ''Comments'': Has a unique premise - the fic begins many years before the first ''Metroid'' and stars Samus as a young teenager. Samus's portrayal is also notable - a combination of {{Adorkable}}, passionate, NoSocialSkills, and [[TraumaButton traumatic memories that can literally leave her curled up in a ball]]. Then there's also the fact that PowerCreepPowerSeep is ''not'' in play - standard Federation technology is orders of magnitude above anything on ''Worm''-Earth, and [[OutsideContextProblem Samus is orders of magnitude above that]]. This doesn't break the plot, partly because the story is about Samus trying to overcome her issues and learning to interact with other humans. It's also partly because ''something else'' is bringing things from the ''Metroid''-verse into ''Worm''-Earth, with shocking, horrifying and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers sometimes humorous]] results. As you can tell, MoodWhiplash and RealityEnsues are both in play. Most importantly, the story is a good read with engaging characters, interesting worldbuilding and an intriguing mystery.
