GuiltyKingOumaShu's fics.
He is a great writer in which his stories are faithful to the source material (technically, it actually is faithful to the original, authentic Japanese version source material). Looking back that while Reclaiming the Throne is an AU sequel with canon inconsistencies, it is still a great story to read in relation to monarchy and suspenseful dramatic events in this epic tale.

- Synopsis: Also called "Operation Steel Balls" among my peers, this is a complete reconstruction of Guilty Crown, where I attempt to give more logic and coherence to the story and to redeem our little Shu by making him epic while keeping the "Guilty Crown" theme.
- Comments: This story is interesting to see Shu being active and joining Funeral Parlor straight away, not to mention knowing his 'childhood friend' early on. Plus, there is emphasis on exploring the history of the Undertakers themselves.

- Synopsis: AU What if things had gone a little bit differently at that one critical moment? "It's okay." He said sternly, tightening his grip. He could feel the crystals spreading. He ignored them. "I'm right here with you, Sis."
- Comments: This is a great story and has the most amount of favorites and reviews. It shows Shu himself being the Adam of Da'ath's utopia alongside the altered setting that concur.

- Synopsis: What if Mana wasn't the one chosen to bring about the apocalypse? What if the first infected was instead her unborn brother Shu? How would things turn out? In a world where instead of Eve, there was Adam, this is his story.
- Comments: It is an alternate take of Shu being the patient zero of the Apocalypse Virus instead, and that Mana is the main character taking the lead.
For the Meteorite that Changed Shu by Saint River
- Recommended by Ford 1114
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Ouma Mana found the meteorite which crashed on Oshima Island and contained the Apocalypse Virus. And from that, the Void Genome was created which was said to bestow upon its user the Power of the King. Well ten years ago, another 'meteorite' crashed and was found by Ouma Shu and it gave him the True Power of the King. A One-Shot Pseudo-Crossover with Soul Eater.
- Comments: This looks humorous, Shu has gotten something different instead of just his Void Genome.
Imperfectly Forged by Alisa Yang
- Recommended by Ford 1114
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: No military on Earth should have commissioned a teenage officer no matter how good a pilot he turned out to be, but war is brewing and the experimental Endlave that the United States expects to be critical in the upcoming conflict is proving too difficult to use by traditionally trained soldiers. Guilty Crown prequel.
- Comments: This explores Daryl Yan's origins pretty well and shows what it's like for a new trainee becoming the soldier he is today.
Guilty Crown: Dethroned (Phase 23) by LukeLC
- Recommended by Draconic
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: A direct continuation of the anime. Three years after the Fourth Lost Christmas Japan is finally established as an independent nation by the UN. However the celebration is cut short when a blind Ouma Shu has nightmares of his sister Mana, and Yuzuriha Inori, long thought dead, mysteriously appears all over the country. Will fate call upon the members of Funeral Parlor once again?
- Pairing: Shu/Inori
- Comments: LukeLC's only contribution to Fanfiction.net is definitely worth a read. This story essentially offers closure to anyone who cried throughout the last ten minutes of the anime. It can get a tiny bit sappy at times, but there's a strong story arc, and the characters a written remarkably believably for an anime fanfic. This is just a very good story, being fun to read without deviating from the emotional heart of the anime.

- Synopsis: A year after the aborted Fourth Apocalypse, Daryl Yan is involuntarily discharged from the military, the only life he has known. Weighted down with the burden of who he was and uncertain of who he wants to be in a life where he is no longer a pilot, he meets a feisty runt he never expected to see again.
- Pairing: Tsugumi/Daryl
- Comments: This is an interesting take of Tsugumi's relationship with Daryl. It shows how Daryl deals with the aftermath of GHQ's disbandment. After this story is done, the author has been thinking of doing a prequel of it.
