- Recommended by VergofTowels
- Pairing(s): Diverse. She even has a collection that focuses on as many different ships as she thinks plausible.
- Not only is she excellent at characterization, she often writes about characters that the fandom forgot. If you're interested in reading about everyone from Anita, to Ease, to Fou, as well as the main protagonists, look no further. Picaropicara provides an engaging and frequently poignant look into everyone's lives.
- You can also find drabbles on her livejournal: [1]

- Pairing(s): Almost entirely Kanda/Allen, but there's also Kanda/Allen/Lavi, Tyki/Allen, Cross/Anita, and Tyki/Lavi.
- Sutlers sugar-coats nothing, romanticizes nothing, and still manages to make completely beautiful fic. The basis of her fic is kind of like no one is perfect, everyone fails in some way, but the best part is when people work to be together or at least have some semblance of happiness. Her characterizations are awesome, everyone seems like a real person. She has great control of the language, especially when describing severe environments. Also there is lots of sex.
- Recommended by Cosman 246
- Pairing(s): Kanda/Allen usually
- Amazing writing, usually one chapter. It is usually a Hurt/Comfort story type, but the presentation.....amazing. I have no comment
- Recommended by MS Pachina and Katherine-Sanderson
- Pairing(s): Mostly general, but occasionally Kanda/Allen without explicit scenes.
- She writes Allen in a sort of demented light that is missing from his characterization in most other stories. I recommend her more recent material, barring Unintended Consequences.
My Fair Lady by Momosportif
- Recommended by RedSavant
- Status: Dead
- Pairing(s): Flavors of almost anything you care to name, and nothing is as clear-cut as you think.
- Synopsis: Lavi, Allen and a reluctant Kanda set out to give Miranda a boost in self-confidence, but each Exorcist is dealing with his or her own personal feelings...
- Comments: A very well-written and thought-provoking fic, and despite the sometimes silly premise it can be surprisingly touching.
Sweet Dreams by Eyes-Of-Crimson
- Recommended by Gemmifer
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): Not necessarily a pairing, but it stars Road and Tyki
- Synopsis: Tyki watches Road playing with a doll and singing.
- Comments: A nice, short fic, subtly sinister, elegant and very IC.
time flies, time dies by KandiLandComplex
- Recommended by Gemmifer
- Status: Complete
- Pairings(s): Kanda/Miranda
- Synopsis: Basically, both of them dying in battle.
- Comments: It's the language I like about this, melodramatic but in a good way.Ashes are bitter in her mouth; and this is how it tastes, how it tastes and how it smells and how it feels when the world around her falls to shambles. [...]
Tropes! Tropes! They're Everywhere! by Chibi Moko Chan
- Recommended by CJ Croen 1393
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): Hinted Allen/Road and Allen/Tyki in chapter 5, Allen/Everyone in chapter 7.
- Synopsis: Allen, Lavi and Kanda face cracktastic hassles from This Very Wiki!
- Comments: It's a D Gray Man/TV Tropes crossover. You KNOW you wanna read it.
- Recommended by mia826
- Status: Dead
- Pairing(s): none though there is that ridiculously funny part where Lavi is dressed as a girl and a young man takes a fancy to him
- Synopsis: This is the story of Bookman and how Lavi became his apprentice. It follows their hardships and adventures together throughout the years until they reach the Black Order.
- Comments: The characterization is awesome, the plot is GREAT, you even get to see Cross Marian and some other characters make a slight appearance. The comedy is wonderful, not too much but just enough in the right places that really remind you of the original manga. This is a must-read for all Lavi and Bookman fans. Too bad it's been dead for a while.

- Pairing(s): some Mana/OC, but nothing gag-worthy
- Synopsis: Mana Walker is 36 and leading an average life, living in a small apartment, lusting after his secretary and hating his job. His life will be changed forever when he finds a boy hiding in an alley.
- Comments: I can't believe this isn't here yet. This story is quite legendary, having inspired other authors to create their own versions (see Bookman^), a bunch of one-shots, a sequel, and even one for Komui. The fic is basically about how Mana met Allen, and how their relationship grew from a poor abused boy and an office man to a loving father and son. It even has a sequel, although I hate that one for taking the M rating to a whole new level.
The Darth Vader Polka by buduica
- Recommended by lampyridae
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): No pairings except for Cross...
- Synopsis: There's consequences to Cross' womanizing ways. The fall-out traumatizes everyone involved, especially Allen Walker.
- Comments: A humor/parody fic, will have you laughing for a while.
A Parody Of A Smile by Red_Cross_Roads
- Recommended by Lyra_Dhani
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): No pairings
- Synopsis: All it takes for Allen's mask to crack is the sight of an old face coming back to haunt him. A nightmare he couldn't think of is becoming a reality and every time he sees Cosimov smile, he can feel the phantom sting of a fist hitting his face, the frostbite chilling his skin. He's eight again, hurting, bitter and on his own against someone who's trying his hardest to make him miserable. But this time he's got Mana's armor to shield him, so it'll be fine. Nobody will notice what's happening behind the stage as long as he does his best to keep up appearances. He's dealt with Cosimov before, he'll manage to endure it again. For the sake of keeping his promise to Mana. Expect between the keen eyes of a swordman, the observation skills of a Bookman and the attention of a concerned friend his secret won't be burried for long beneath his slipping smiles. It's only a matter of time until the curtain falls.

- Recommended by syriiak
- Status: Dead
- Pairing(s): Krory/Miranda
- Synopsis: When Krory forgets everything he ever knew about his past thanks to an accident, he grows closer to a certain someone else: a certain nervous, apologetic Exorcist. But what will happen to their relationship, as both friends and lovers, when he starts to remember Eliade?
- Comments: A wonderful fanfiction about a pairing that is hardly shipped. It's well-written and beautifully made. There is a bit of everything in this: humor, adorableness, and some tears.

Lacquer by Animegoil
- Recommended by VergofTowels
- Status: Dead
- Pairing(s): Allen/Kanda/Lavi
- Synopsis: Alternate universe. Injured in a war, a mute Kanda finds himself being treated in an old castle that's been converted to a field hospital. Soon he is joined by Lavi, who is deaf, and Allen, a young soldier who, now blinded and lacking an arm, must find a new purpose.

Sacanagem by gunned
- Recommended by Erin
- Status: Complete
- Pairing(s): Marion Cross/Tyki Mikk
- Synopsis: His vision blurry, the movements of the body situated in his lap were slow and smooth, the expanse of skin down between rolled up sleeves and white gloves made him think of cocoa powder and milk poured and hardened on bone. Dub-con.
Any Way You Want It by Novelist Pup
- Recommended by Wolfinators
- Status: Dormant
- Pairing(s): Kanda/Allen, Lavi/Allen
- Synopsis: AU: January 2nd, 1985; "Wanted- Band member. Must have patience." Allen Walker's gonna need a whole lot more than just patience to keep up with their world of music and life. :Kanda/Allen, Lavi/Allen
- Comments: Yes, it's AU, yes it's the 80's, but it is so worth it. It's hilarious in the beginning, and only gets better. Later chapters are more intense than the previous ones. Lots of swearing and mentions of drug use.
''For tea
- Recommended by Gamma Cavy
- Status: Dormant
- Synopsis The Order must put up with its unwanted, new ally the Fourteenth; his charms and attempts to pacify the Exorcists regardless of his role in Allen's death were all in vain...for a while. Then we find out that Allen isn't really dead, and then later comes the huge bombshell of his parentage. Slight AU. Set after L4 attack on HQ, before Timothy and Child Thief.
Love Sleep, Come Unto Poverty by Rayna Lissesul
- Recommended by Serendipital
- Status: Dormant
- Pairing(s): Komui/OC
- Synopsis: "If you cannot stand to remember what you have lost, give to me your past and I will blank your slate. In return, I will use your body to do His work. Just don't get too attached… because our relationship cannot last. And do not forget… I love you."
- Comments: Don't let the fact that this has an OC turn you off. The character has her faults and fits in well with the D. Gray Man cast. Her romance with Komui is believable; it takes a long time to develop, and even then they have their problems. This isn't just romance, either. It has a very developed plot, one that sticks to canon but isn't afraid to stray away a little. Better yet, it has an update schedule the author always sticks to. So, even if you don't like OC fanfiction, give this one a shot. It's well worth it.
Wanderers in the Dark by AnaWolf
- Recommended by: Crimson_Vega
- Status: Dormant; last updated April 2019
- Pairings: None yet, but author confirmed they will develop later (the only thing she revealed is that there isn't Allen/OC).
- Synopsis: Leaving the Order, Allen stumbles upon a secret. Now hunted by the Noah and considered an enemy by the Order, he searches for the truth... About Mana, about Neah and about himself. Uncovering a web of illusions and doubt he still moves forward. It was what he promised to do, after all.
- Comments: It starts right in the night Allen runs away from the Order. While using the Ark to escape, he finds a room with a Noah chained and in a comatose-like state. He ends up helping her, only to find out she can't remember who she is. The plot is intriguing, with the issues of the said Noah, Allen trying to find out about Neah, Mana, and his own origins. Despite having OCs and dealing with many characters, the author manages to keep the focus on Allen (and also writing about the Noah Clan and the Order). It has fascinating writing, the characters are kept like with the source material and the new ones are believable and the interactions of everyone (plus their emotions and decisions) are realistic.

- Crossover With: Harry Potter
- Synopsis: There was the softest sound from the window; he spun to look. He found, much to his alarm, a figure cloaked in black crouching down and balanced precariously on the sill. "I did not expect to run into an exorcist here."
- Comments: This is written like a book, the Author stays true to all the characters and develops them fantastically. It follows through the manga story line and the 7th Harry Potter story line and merges them in a wonderful way. Best fanfiction I've ever read.
