- Comments: A lot of fun to read with its truckload of continuity nods to the games. Interestingly, it takes more from the English 4Kids dub then the original Japanese one unlike most fanfics of the anime.

Kirby of the Stars: The After Story by Leer Justice
- Recommended by Misterian, berg8793
- Status: Dormant; last updated October 2018
- Synopsis: Taking place after Nightmare's defeat by Kirby in the anime, Kirby's adventures continue as the game storylines are entwined into his life. Kirby meets new friends, foes, and foes turned into friends throughout his new adventures.
- Comments: Although it follows the anime continuity to some extent, this fic is actually a series of story arcs that are written somewhat as novelizations of many of the Kirby games. These story arcs are expanded upon to allow for great character development, especially for Kirby, who in some ways gradually becomes somewhat wiser and more mature as the story progresses, yet also consistently remains the innocent and adorable Kid Hero we all know and love in the process. This story is currently undergoing a rewrite, with the first chapter of the rewrite posted on April 27th, 2017.
The Saucy Tale of Meta Knight's Cooking by Alter ID
- Recommended by Pizzadna
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: "Meta Knight overhears his apprentices insult his cooking, and prepares an applicable punishment for their rudeness. Drawn from an episode of the dub."
- Comments: The story is absolutely hilarious as Sword and Blade try to avoid everyone's shenanigans. Their escape attempts build up the story well and the dinner scene has left several reviewers in stitches. Chapter 2 presents a surprisingly intelligent Crack version of the same story.
Prince of Demonbeasts by Cosmicgiraffe
- Recommended by Magnus Force and 1Thunderfire
- Status: Dormant
- Synopsis: "Why did he look upon the GSA so highly? Did he really believe they were fighting for justice? While they saved the lives of all other races, they murdered his kind upon sight... and it was the pain and suffering of demon beasts that bled upon battlefields..." Meta Knight's personal fight for glory and honor... all the while, struggling to hang on to his past...
- Comments: Brilliantly unique interpretation of Meta Knight as the most worthy creation of Nightmare before he absconded to the GSA. Meta Knight goes through a hell of a lot and cannot tell his companions that he is in fact a demonbeast. Even so, he is worthy of Galaxia. Loads of action and emotion, well worth the read.
Kirby! Dreamland Chronicles by SilverWarriorWolf
- Recommended by TheCosmicPenguin
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: (From the author) "AU. Kirby is a little Star Warrior living out his life in Dreamland. Follow his adventures as he faces his foes, makes new friends, and does everything he can to keep his beautiful home at peace."
- Comments: The story makes superb use of all the characters and is written in an episodic style. There are a few non-canon OCs, but they are thoughtfully contrived and do not detract from the story in any way. Definitely has some clever twists thrown in as well.
Ice Sculpture by MTStarCosmic
- Recommended by 1Thunderfire
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: A one-shot character study concerning King Dedede, how he has matured over the years, how he feels about his kingship (being quite ashamed of his old behaviour) and crucially, how he feels about his one-time archenemy, Kirby.
- Comments: This is a beautifully written one-shot and it gives a very clear and fascinating insight into how King Dedede sees himself and how he views Kirby. You can really sympathise with him and you know he isn't really that much of a bad guy after all. Also has a lovely, heartwarming ending.
Kirby's Dream Café: Robobot Mall
- Recommended by Kolasto
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Kirby loves his café, but an evil corporation threatens to take it down! Will he and his friends make it through? Coffee shop AU for Planet Robobot, spoilers for the entire game and the whole franchise. Original Idea and suggestions by radiantseraphina.
- Comments: The story is very well-written, and the story of the game is beautifully translated into this AU. The story does have its funny moments and it does need some grammar work, some missing periods here and there, but all in all, it's a great story.

The Return of Susie by Bunny-Kirby
- Recommended by Tropemaster849
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Susie returns to take revenge on Kirby after Planet Robobot. However, when Kirby gets sent the anime universe, he teams up with his other self and other friends to take Susie down.

The Galactic Knightmare by My5cookies
- Recommended by Zum1UDontNo
- Status: Dormant; last updated December 2018
- Synopsis: The universe entered a state of peace after the defeat of Nightmare. But when Nightmare discovers a way to resurrect himself faster than any other he's tried in the past, old and new faces must ban together to stop the incoming threat before he can regain his full power. But in the end...is the biggest threat to peace really Nightmare after all?
- Comments: Combining both the game and anime universes, this fic does its very best to make sure every character, from Nightmare to Magalor to Drawcia, get their moment in the spotlight.
Lost Stars by ShannonTheArt
- Recommended by Tropemaster849
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: After the events of Kirby Star Allies, Kirby remembers the four foes he had fought on his adventure; The three jambastion mages, Francisca, Flamberge, and Zan Partizanne, as well as their leader, Lord Hyness, and sets out into space to find them.
- Comments: Why couldn't the real game have something like this?! In spite of the grammar issues, this fic is incredibly heartwarming. From Kirby going out to find people who tried to kill him, to the mages' relationship with each other. A very good read, especially if you are fans of Jambastion mages.
Star Allies, Unite! by FierySprites
- Recommended by OwlsCantRead
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: Hyness's prayers have opened a rift between time and space—and it just may end up tearing the whole Gamble Galaxy apart. It's up to the Star Allies to dive into the depths of darkness and save the universe once again – and maybe this time, they can help create the happiest ending of all. Another Dimension awaits!
- Comments: A novelization of the extra mode in Kirby Star Allies, Heroes in Another Dimension. The author does a fantastic job of giving Kirby and his Star Allies great banter between them by interchanging the viewpoint of the experience between every single Dream Friend in the game, including that of the Jambastion Mages, allowing them all to have A Day in the Limelight as they trek through the vibrant world of Another Dimension. If you love interactions between characters from different Kirby games as they venture on a grand adventure, then this is for you.

Fortress of Solitude by phoelynfabulous
- Recommended by Rockium
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: A jammerjab takes on an expansion to their regular duties after Lord Hyness adopts three young girls - an ice mage, a fire mage, and a lightning mage. Their new job is to help take care of them, but the task might prove more difficult than expected given their unique situations, Hyness' increasingly questionable sanity, and the scope of their own abilities. An analysis into the backstory and lore of the Three Mage Sisters, from the perspective of a jammerjab, set before, during, and after the events of Kirby Star Allies.
- Comments: An intriguing dive into the relationships between the sisters, and the sisters themselves as they grow up within the Jambandran Base, all while Hyness begins his fall from grace. It’s a wonderful, deep read, and if you enjoy reading about the mage sisters? Well, this is the fic for you.

Kirby: On The Flipside! by ProminenceFlare
- Recommended by Pksmashbros
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Ever since the Jambastion incident, Popstar has enjoyed a period of peace- especially so with the unlikely, but welcome, Star Allies having formed in the aftermath to protect it. Indeed, it’s currently a time for rest and recreation- for some. For others, it’s a chance for study and experimentation. It's during one such experiment that something goes amiss…
Two worlds meet, and neither of them will ever be the same again! - Comments: A really really good Anime/Game Crossover, keeping not only the anime characters in character but the author writes the game characters incredibly well but it doesn’t have every dream friend show up immediately (As of the time of writing, Adeleine and Ribbon are only frequently mentioned and DMK and Marx are unaware of the events) putting a lot more focus on the main 4 and the wave 3 trio later on, it does deviate from the Anime canon later on, due to the Allie’s presence changing some events, but it’s worth a read just for how well the characters are written.
Meta Knight- The Last Wish by atrqaxiia
- Recommended by Tropemaster849
- Status: Ongoing
- Relationship: Meta Knight/Dedede, Marx/Magolor
- Synopsis: A Fusion Fic with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish detailing Kirby, Meta Knight and King Dedede's journey to find Galactic Nova.
- Comments: This fic is extremely well written and entertaining, and it's not a straight retelling of the movie but with the Kirby cast slapped onto it. Rather, it's the basic plot of the movie, but with elements taken directly from the Kirby series and the various games. The way everyone was casted was also extremely fitting in ways I didn't even think about and the shipping, while there, isn't a major focus. Even if you don't like both the series and the film, I highly recommend this one.
Hey, Gorgeous, You Have Something of Mine by RadiantSeraphina
- Recommended by Silver Cymbeline
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: From the author's summary: "There are many reasons Meta Knight can't pursue a relationship with King Dedede: his knightly vows of chastity, his inability to produce the heirs Dedede needs, their differences in status, and Meta Knight's significantly longer lifespan. And the fact that Meta Knight's woken up in some sort of bizarre alternate dimension. There's that, too." Humorously enough, the alternate universe in which Meta Knight, derived from the games, finds himself in is the dub version of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
- Pairing(s): Meta Knight/King Dedede, along with implied Escargoon/King Dedede
- Comments: Well-written romantic angst and nice moments of humor, this fic manages to juggle both the characters from the Kirby games and the anime, give them distinct differences, and somehow, avoid confusion when the majority of the cast shares names. The relationship between Meta Knight and King Dedede is charming and has a bit of a Lady and Knight aspect.

The greatest warrior in the galaxy, however, has other ideas.

- Pairing: Meta Knight/Galacta Knight

Gijinka Magolor Doujin by Janis
- Recommended by warpy
- Well, this is certainly a first—it's the first part of a 100+ page Kirby doujin trilogy (which is almost unheard of, for this fandom) done in gijinka form! Contains major spoilers for Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and explores Magolor's backstory, as well as the origin of the Lor Starcutter, before Kirby and his crew battle Magolor Soul.
Gooey/Dark Matter doujin by ニトロウ
- Recommended by roselii49 and 1Thunderfire
- Synopsis: Taking place during the events of Kirby's Dream Land 2 , this doujin delves into the relationship between Dark Matter and Gooey, as well as an in-depth view about the species' relations with Zero.
- Comments: This is a very somber, yet sweet story about the long and forgotten blue blob. This tells a story about Gooey's creation and his attempt to fit in on Pop Star after he is rejected by Zero. Part of the story is done in Dark Matter's perspective, in doing so, we see the horrors of Zero's controlling nature and power over the Dark Matter race. Be prepared to grab some tissues at the end of this.
- Seconded. It's beautifully drawn and you get an amazing depth to characters that don't really have any characterisation at all in the games.
Kirby’s Knightmare by Koku-Draws
- Recommended by JediYoshi24
- Synopsis: This beautifully crafted comic series starts with an alternate retelling of Kirby Super Star Ultra, but by the second comic begins to delve into an expanded universe not seen before in previous Kirby installments. Diving into Meta Knight’s past, Kirby’s future, and everything in between, you’ll be unable to stop reading this series, I promise.
