Spirit Lines is a Jojos Bizarre Adventure fanfic written by Notdaedalus. After the death of Joseph Joestar, stand users around the world have been spurred into action by his autobiography, which publicly revealed the existence of the Stone Mask to the world. With the Joestar family under assault from all types of assailants and the newest stand user of the bloodline, Jodi Higashikata, beginning to receive strange phone calls from a boy claiming to also be a Joestar, nothing is as it seems, but one thing can be certain: A bizarre adventure is brewing!

They are two other stories that take place in the Irene-verse.
- Tales from Another Egypt that focuses on Holly, now going by as Seiko, joining her father and Avdol to Egypt to defeat Dio and save her son Katarou.
- Double Down, which takes place seven years after Spirit Lines and focuses on an original cast of characters.
- Tales from Another Egypt
Spirit Lines contains examples of:
- Adaptational Abomination: Gold Experience Requiem is subject to a degree of You Cannot Grasp the True Form, with most characters only perceiving it as a sort of "spacial warp", as well as filling Giorno's body with tiny Mix-and-Match Critters every time it is used.
- Adaptational Badass:
- In canon, Holly was so weak that her stand was actively killing her. In Spirit Lines' version of the Ireneverse, that same stand was the one that killed Dio.
- The Ireneverse version of Cheap Trick is implied to simply be a regular stand, rather than a massive case of Blessed with Suck.
- Doing in the Scientist: Diavolo and Doppio's situation isn't simply a case of Dissociative Identity Disorder, but rather King Crimson possessing Doppio to turn him into Diavolo. This is a hereditary property of his bloodline's stands, with his other mental health issues causing him to forget who was the stand and who was the original.
- Heroic Lineage: The protagonist Jodi is the daughter of Josuke Higashikata and Trish Una.
- Invincible Villain: GOD. His stand is an evolved version of Wonder of U. The main cast has no option but to flee from him before he learns of their existence. However, he is eventually taken down rather handily by Touch-Tone Telephone.
- In Spite of a Nail: When Katarou and Irene eventually manifest stands, they are still Star Platinum: The World and Stone Free.
- Musical Theme Naming: As is par for the course for Jojo content. Notable, however, in that almost all of said theme names come from Spirit Phone
- Once per Episode: The final chapter of each arc has a Perspective Flip to show the antagonist's defeat from their perspective, alongside a short backstory for them.
- Small Role, Big Impact: The Josuke of the Steel Ball Run universe may have been Demoted to Extra, but his one appearance is vital to the creation of GOD.
- Superpower Lottery: In true Jojo fashion, the stand powers in the fic range from What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? to Story-Breaker Power.
- The Unmasqued World: Downplayed. Joseph attempted to invoke a holistic version of this by explaining the events of parts 1-3 in great detail in his autobiography, but nobody believes it. However, existing stand users do recognise it, and thus the other supernatural facets of the Jojo universe such as Hamon and Vampires are now common knowledge.
