Authors, and Websites

Fanfic Shoppe by Kittie Verdana

  • Recommended by Wolfman2000
  • Synopsis: It is a gathering of many author's works in one location. It includes a little bit of everything from shipping to crossovers to anything in between.
  • Comments: Some of the stories on this website have already been recommended below, but are merely hosted elsewhere. Still, other gems are found here.

Tsukino Akume

  • Recommended by jenicaaladima
  • Comments: She has wonderful stories, and her Bright Skies universe has the best working of canon and fanon that I've ever seen. She is a slash shipper, so those that are opposed to that, stay away.

Guardian of Hope

  • Recommended by jenicaaladima, Mariko-chan
  • Comments: Focuses more on RPM and Samurai, but another masterful twisting of all canon to work together.
    • Seconded. I love her Rainbow Brotherhood series that links MMPR to JF and speculates on what each individual color is.

Ultimate Power Rangers

  • Recommended by LOMI
  • Synopsis: Take all of Power Rangers, give it cohesion that goes beyond the original Zordon era, create several over-arcing storylines, and then role in some Super Sentai to boot.
  • Comments: Basically an Ultimate Universe just like the title suggests. Most of the story follows the basic path of Power Rangers, but many of the Super Sentai story arcs and elements remain or are referenced, like the original Rangers getting their Power Coins from the Zyurangers before they even meet Zordon. It now has a sequel series ongoing, though the author's updates are infrequent due to having a life.
    • Now with its own page here.

PinkRangerV

  • Recommended by jenicaaladima
  • Synopsis: A Ranger AU that deals with politics and the gray side of the Power Rangers.
  • Comments: The world she's built is beautiful. And she had amazing characterization!

AvalonBay

  • Recommended by Hall Wings
  • Comments: She is a writer of OCs added to the PR universe but these OCs are far from Mary-Sue. Not only do they have a different, complicated, and unique backstory that makes even the reader wonder if the OC should be a ranger, but they do a great job of working her own fanon through PR canon. Her series comprising of the stories All To Blame, Made of Glass, These Walls, and New Beginning tell multiple story-arcs through multiple seasons. And that's only the Avalon series. There is also a Bailey series that has yet to be started.

Sir Perfluous

  • Recommended by Eric W
  • Comments: This writer's work for Power Rangers generally revolves around 3 types of stories. First, short one shots/mini stories exploring the relationships of various rangers in their series. Second, romantic stories with the author's pairs in a season. However, by far his best work is his creating original series of power rangers with different themes. From dealing with fallen angels to Hawaiian spirits, to Celtic monsters, to space invaders, each of those series is packed with the spirit of the Ranger TV series, but with their own spins in order to give each "season" its own flavor. He's even dabbled in Dark Fic territory.

dudelove85

  • Recommeded by Digi X Bot
  • Comments: The author takes the original series and builds upon it with government investigation, corporate meddling, and Super Sentai lore. They have three distinct series. The first, Chronicle of Power, involves a secret government organization investigating the Power Rangers after they take on the Thunder Zords, and continues into the rest of the Zordon Era. The sequel series, Project Hexagon, explores the events from Lost Galaxy to RPM and shows how the different Power Ranger teams united against the Armada in Power Rangers Megaforce] all while dealing with the control of Hexagon (It is currently on Hiatus as of May 2020). The author also wrote their own version of Power Rangers Dino Charge, which draws more from the source material of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.

Stories that aren't explicitly continuations of canon material, but usually create their own power rangers team for their own purposes. Not necessarily alternate universe

Power Rangers: Guardians of Gaia by J.A.Phillips

  • Recommended by: {{Tropers/N.Harmonik}}
  • Status: Complete/Dormantnote 
  • Synopsis: An ancient realm tied to the natural elements of the world is in peril, and only five college students can save it before the evil threatening it can attack Earth. They are the Guardians of Gaia!
    • Now with its own page here.

Power Rangers: Oceania

  • Recommended by: Eric W
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: The Hawaiian Islands have been threatened after an ancient Polynesian evil has washed ashore. Now it falls to a new modern group of unlikely heroes to protect the islands and keep their tropical paradise safe from harm.

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

Mighty Morphin:

Loss of Innocents by Joe Rovang

  • Recommended by Speedbreaker, Kayube
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: After an encounter with a lone Putty, an unsettling revelation plagues Jason's mind, one he shares only with his closest friends. The once simple and obvious distinction between "good" and "evil" becomes blurred as they experience their last days as Rangers.
  • Comments: The episodes between when Jason, Trini and Zack's actors quit and when they were actually written out are regarded as an Audience-Alienating Era at best. Yet the broad excuses to not focus on the Red, Yellow and Black Rangers outside of battle gives longtime fan Rovang the perfect window in which to address what really caused the team to quietly split in two before the old guard were Put on a Bus. More than that, it is a genuinely haunting look at the implications of a series built on the exploded remains of countless MOTWs.
    • This troper appreciated the justifications for all the odd edits and departures from the characters' established roles (particularly Jason's) that came about during this interregnum- in particular, Tommy once decides to wear one of his old green shirts to remind the others of the "old days", explaining the fact that he needed to wear green to fit with the Stock Footage from an earlier episode. And during the fight against the Hatchasaurus, what was originally an editing oversight in which the original Megazord is briefly visible fighting in place of the Thunder Megazord is turned into a glimpse into Jason's mind as he remembers the last time they fought this monster. It all works.
    • This troper thought the fic was a fun and worthy read despite the almost haiku-like inner monologue Jason occasionally had and other minor OOC things. The Gosh Dang It to Heck! quality of the show really shines through in the dialogue and Jason's revelation about the Putty ("It was drawing a bunny.") and his attempt at comforting a kid dressed up as a monster for Halloween are perfect examples of Narm Charm (and I mean that as a compliment). There's also something to be said for the existential horror of being trapped in an endless loop of Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World that the story touches on.

Perfectly Good Reasons by Dagmar Buse

  • Recommended by Dr Thinker
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: How did the Power Rangers become friends before Zordon summon them to become Power Rangers? Let's just say, the Power Rangers would consider this an odd beginning to their own friends.
  • Comments: Let's just say the Power Rangers are mistaken for more serious gangsters members then Bulk and Skull by their junior high principal—anymore I'll be spoiling the story.

The Fifth Wheel by Silvormoon

  • Recommended by Dave The Analyzer
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A story of the Alien Rangers of Aquatar. The fifth wheel gets her chance in the spotlight... if she can survive it.
  • Comments: An excellent story that fleshes out Cestria and the Aquitian Rangers. Cestria's the focus but nearly every ranger gets to shine in the spotlight. What few character traits have been mentioned in the show are elaborated on beautifully and the purportedly weaksauce dehydration weakness actually becomes frightening from the viewpoint of one of the characters. All in all, a good read.

The Robbie Chronicles by Brown Ranger Kev

  • Recommended by Captain Neckbeard
  • Status: In Progress since 2011
  • Synopsis: The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers universe, re-tolled with a seventh, brown ranger. He’s crude, he makes snide remarks, and treats everything, including his job and his teammates with universal indifference.
  • Comments: An incredibly engaging coming of age story with a relatable lead, who although is in direct contrast with the rest of the seemingly perfect “goody goods” in terms of personality, bounces off of them perfectly to tell a believable tale. The story also accurately captures the personality of each of the main characters and expands on existing individual plots and archs and works to close plot holes in the story. The fic is written in script format to better capture the flow and the feel of the early 90’s TV show. A prequel, which includes re-writes of some of the show’s real episodes are currently being written, and begin here [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9406981/57/Mighty-Morphin-Power-Rangers-The-Robbie-Chronicles]

Welcome to the Youth Centre by Peter Smith

  • Recommended by Meduini
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A fic told from Ernie's POV prior to Jason, Zack, and Trini leaving for the Peace Summit and after the introduction of Richie. Fairly close to canon-compliant with an original monster-Freezerbot. It takes the mostly canon idea that Ernie knew that the Power Rangers were the Power Rangers and gives an explanation as to why he never tells them that he knows as well as why he helps the Rangers out the best way he knows how.
  • Comments: A neat story about Ernie, which is rare within the Power Rangers fandom, as most fics (rightly) focus on the Rangers themselves and/or their mentors or villains. The author also has a lot of other awesome PR fanfics to read.

PRiS:

A Mirror of Dark Glass by Silvor Moon

  • Recommended by jyshin2
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Ecliptor meets someone who changes his life forever.
  • Comments: An excellent, moving story that focuses on how the familial relationship between Ecliptor and Karone/Astronema developed through the years.

Power Rangers Hidden War

  • Recommended by Zarius
  • Synopsis: A virtual season based around the premise of the Psycho Rangers being good guys protecting an alternate universe from the forces of evil.
  • Comments: A well written series that fleshes out not just the Psycho Rangers, but plays around a lot with PR continuity, to the point it really starts digging a deep hole for itself trying to reconcile the Psycho Rangers activities with their apperances in Lost Galaxy. Whilst a consistent row of episodes came out over the early 2000s, updates became less frequent, and eventually became a dead fic. A special came out later which attempted to tie up the loose ends, but it still has no real conclusion to speak of.

PRWF:

Forever Red: The Novel by Rob Seibert

  • Recommended by: Jnman 078
  • Status: Complete
  • "Synopsis": A novelization of the 10th-anniversary episode "Forever Red".
  • Comments: An exceptionally well-written novelization with good characterization and that also heavily expands on the events depicted in "Forever Red".

Dino Thunder:

DinoThunder: The Legend of Tommy Oliver by liron-aria

  • Recommended by Berserker NW
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis: PRDT rewrite. Moderate AU. Take a deeper look into the lives of Dr. Tommy Oliver and his fellow Rangers as they struggle to make it through the ups and downs of Rangerhood and the 2004-2005 schoolyear. Who said senior year would be easy?
  • Comments: A well-written story that delves deeper into the personal life and history of Tommy Oliver, as well adding depth to each of the characters. One aspect that was appealing was the connections made to minor characters introduced in earlier seasons. Each chapter is a good length. While it hasn't been updated in some time (August 2015), there have been longer 'silent' periods between chapters.

''Personality Shift by Super Shadowhenshin

  • Recommended by BlueLegends
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A failed experiment causes Tommy Oliver to begin to act rather strangely. To add to the mystery Mesogog gains the aid of the mysterious Black Dragon. It's up to the students of Dr.Oliver to discover the source of his personality shift before the team is thrown into chaos.
  • Comments: Seamlessly integrates canon with original concepts as well as elements from Boom Comics. A thrilling story that leaves you wanting more. This story has several sequels that can be found on the writer's profile.

SPD:

Confinement - Mora's Story by Dark Shadow

  • Recommended by Burstkiller
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A one-shot fic based on Mora and the unanswered questions surrounding her character: Why was Mora so afraid of growing up? How did she and Gruumm cross paths?
  • Comments: A very dark look into the past of one SPD's fan-favorite villains. Shows how a broken home robbed the years from Mora and turned her into the Little Miss Badass/Psychopathic Womanchild we know her as.

PRMF:

Lineage by predilection

  • Recommended by Wolfberries, Tropers/Meduini.
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Daggeron has a talk with Nick after the events of Heir Apparent.
  • Comments: A nice look into Nick's psyche after he discovers that he is the Light. A Heartwarming Moment if there ever was one. It also excellently balances the concept of who an adoptive person's 'real' parents are.

Operation Overdrive:

Imitation of Life: Five Questions Mack Never Asked by cmar

  • Recommended by: The Otaku Ninja
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: PROO: When your whole existence turns out to be a lie, who can you go to for answers? Mack asks questions that we didn't see onscreen. 'Five Things That Never Happened' challenge.
  • Comments: Considering how they never gave us more information on the whole Mack is an android thing, this is a nice look into his mindset during that time, and gives a much better explanation for the whole thing than the show ever did.

Operation Overdrive: Rangers In Retrograde. by Neko LLX

  • Recommended by: random_fan
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Instead of just the four he calls in on the show Andrew Hartford calls in a couple of other rangers as well, Tommy Oliver and Justin Stewart. Leanbow also joins after sensing the crown's magic signature.
  • Comments: It can best be described as OO if there was no need to worry about source footage or budget. Is a great 'for want of a nail' fic as the three new Rangers slowly yet surely change the story, yet it never strays too far from the original.

RPM:

Operator Series Red by JDPhoenix

  • Recommended by: Burstkiller
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: In Corinth's early days, K considers Ranger candidates.
  • Comments: A nice, action-packed one-shot of when Scott met K.

Seven Steps From Humanity by Dream-Edge

  • Recommended by: Terrie
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis: VENJIX's army wasn't just machines. We could have handled machines. No. Someone had given VENJIX magic.
  • Pairings: Dillon/Ziggy, Scott/Summer, Gem/Flynn/Gemma, K/Tenaya
  • Tags: AU
  • Comments: This is one of those stories where you start out skeptical about the premise (a world of magical powers, instead of technology) and then you get into it. The characters are still recognizable as themselves but given a lot more depth.

Megaforce:

  • "How to Fix Megaforce" by hunterkiller1440
  • Recommended by: ThorIngerman
  • Status: Finished
  • Synopsis: This is a Fix Fic to turn the heavily-criticized and hated season into a great season. Now has its own trope page.

Sentai Adaptions:

Power Rangers Take Flight by Joe Rovang

  • Recommended by AmadeusWindfall
  • Status:
    • Season 1: Complete
    • Season 2: Dead
  • Synopsis: An 2-season adaption of Jetman. AU. In 1992, an Air Force soldier and four apartment tenants receive on military hardware from Project Jetman and become the Power Rangers.
  • Comments: Excellent - better than some of the real Power Rangers series. Rovang makes excellent use of sentai footage, and all of the characters - except for those who aren't supposed to be - are very likable. It is in script format, but it's designed to be read rather than being in normal script format, and there are screenshots whenever sentai footage is used. Definitely worth reading. There is a second series, using the suits and Zord footage from Liveman, but it appears to have become a Dead Fic after four episodes. Now has its own trope page

Power Rangers RPM: Gamma Beta by AdrenalineRush1996

  • Recommended by AdrenalineCola
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: A sequel to RPM and adaptation of Tokumei Sentai Go Busters and involves five Rangers becoming the Gamma Beta Rangers.
  • Comments: Definitely worth reading.

Power Rangers Pirate Crew by Scsigs

  • Recommended by: Pgj1997
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: A re-adaptation of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger that aims to be more faithful than Super Megaforce while still playing by the rules of Power Rangers canon.
  • Tags: Fix Fic
  • Comments: Admittedly, most of this fic is more or less just a direct translation of Gokaiger with the terminology changed accordingly, which takes away most of the surprise factor if you've watched that season. Nonetheless, it's a fantastic example of what Super Megaforce should have been hadn't Executive Meddling got in the way.

"Power Rangers Pirate Stars by Jio Uzumaki

  • Recommended by Lokiaesir
  • "Status:" Ongoing
  • Synopsis: Another re-adaptation of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger with more emphasis on the alien outsiders' theme of discovering the legacy of the Rangers.
  • "Tags:" Fix Fic
  • "Comments:" Much of the early chapters are similar to the Sentai, but it finds its footing while developing the characters. It's another example of the potential of Super Megaforce, with lots of cameos and a developing plot focused on the characters and the Rangers' legacy. Also a building mystery of what the Legacy of Red aka the Captain's Fire is. Currently sits at 24 chapters

Power Rangers Supernova by Soleilunescape

  • Recommended by: Dark-Cross
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: Legend says that nine warriors are destined to wield the Nova Spheres, objects said to be capable of destroying any darkness. When the tyrannical Dark Matter Empire takes over the galaxy, it is time for those warriors to come together and liberate it.
  • Comments: This is the author's own take on adapting Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, intending on it being a closer adaptation than Power Rangers Cosmic Fury. While only having three chapters at the time of recommendation, it's an interesting read, and in the three chapters made thus far does quite a bit of worldbuilding and does an excellent job at hooking the reader by creating a sense of mystery around some of its characters, especially the main villain.
    • Now it’s currently at 22 chapters (out of 44), and now I desperately think that it deserves its own tropes page.
      • Seconded
      • Agreed (Lokiaesir)

Not Just Action Figures by Tweety Bird Alpha

  • Recommended by: Applesauce 21
  • Status: Dormant
  • Synopsis: (Author Synopsis) Every Power Ranger and evil villain ever has been turned into three-inch tall action figures and transported to a strange new world. Who is responsible for this and how will the many teams pull together to solve it? Mega-Crossover starring everyone!
  • Comments: Starts off as a cool idea fic but quickly tangents into a creative (if weird) plot that is nowhere near where it started. Great characterizations and it really does start almost every Power Ranger character ever.

Alpha Operations by JadelynTate

  • Recommended by Meduini
  • Status: Quite possibly/very likely dead, as it hasn't been updated since 2017 and the author hasn't updated anything since 2019.
  • Crossover with: Power Rangers, MCU, West Wing
  • Pairings: RJ/Casey (Jungle Fury), Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Jane Foster/Thor, Kimberly Hart/Clint Barton
  • Synopsis: A fic series. In the first one, Kimberly is placed in charge of what effectively amounts to a Power Rangers organization (the titular Alpha Operations) and has to deal with SHIELD. Things...don't really go as they planned when it comes to keeping all their secret identities secret. The second fic in the series is a Power Rangers/MCU/West Wing crossover and deals with the response from the White House.
  • Comments: A very interesting crossover that, unfortunately, hasn't been updated in years.

Ascendancy by Steven Q

  • Recommended by: Godeskian
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: The arrival of a magical gemstone in Reefside quickly sends thing spiraling out of control for the Dino Thunder Rangers, and that's before an Alternate Universe Kimberly arrives from a place where the Rangers lost the war against Lord Zedd all those years ago.
  • Comments: The author goes to great lengths to dig deep into the emotional side of the Rangers, and specifically of Conner, who is something of the butt monkey in the show, but gets a bit of a maturity upgrade. The Author turns out a hugely emotional story that has a couple of genuine twists to it.

Power Rangers: End of Days by project314

  • Recommended by: hellfire666
  • Status: Dormant.
  • Synopsis: In the year 2009, the death of a Ranger will bring all veteran Rangers together, from the MMPR era to the RPM era, for what could very well be their last adventure.
  • Tags: character deaths, gore

Black Water by Agent Xero

  • Recommended by: hellfire666
  • Status: Complete.
  • Synopsis: 19-year-old Madison Rocca has disappeared from Briarwood, but she's not the first in California. Old feelings will arise between two Rangers, while the police must find the murderer of the greatest Ranger of all time.
  • Shippings: Jen/Wes, Madison/Nick, Cole/Alyssa, Conner/Kira, Eric/Taylor
  • Tags: character deaths
  • Comments: There are a number of pairings but the romance is minor compared to the action and plot in the story.

Rainbow Academy

  • Recommended by: Sparky Young Upstart
  • Status: Complete.
  • Synopsis: Thanks to Conner's ill made comment, Kira ends up headmistress of the newly created Rainbow Academy, the academy who will teach students how to be Power Rangers. With Conner at her side, her inner circle of staff behind her, and a horde of teachers and students to wrangle, Kira will try to pull the idea together and give the world the best Power Rangers they've ever seen.
  • Content Warnings: Mentions of child sexual abuse and loss of bodily autonomy.
  • Comments: Not only does it dig into what it would take for a proper ranger-training academy, but it also explores the backgrounds of the Academy's first graduate rangers - the SPD A-Squad.

Power Rangers Zenith : Agents of Hexagon by Super Shadowhenshin

  • Recommended by : BlueLegends
  • Status: In progress
  • Synopsis: The United Alliance of Evil has returned under the reign of the mysterious Dark Infinus. Thankfully Hexagon is ready with a new team of Rangers that call upon the powers of the past to fight the UAE and keep the galaxy safe from the growing evil. Together with a plethora of past Rangers, the Zenith team will protect the planet against Infinus and his legion of darkness.
  • Tags: character deaths
  • Comments: An intriguing and unique take on the Hexagon concept which seamlessly integrates the story of original characters with that of established canon characters, builds on the lore of Power Rangers, incorporates elements of the Boom comics into canon, reintroduces us to several planets like Mirinoi and Triforia and last but not least, creates amazing new "Zenith ranger powers" and suits.

Power Rangers: Public Enemies by 100TenMillion

  • Recommended by: The Harmonizer
  • Status: Complete.
  • Synopsis: When the world needed heroes, they called upon the Power Rangers. But now, their home country needs scapegoats, not heroes. How will this affect the Rangers?
  • Tags: character deaths
  • Comments: A really interesting take on the Power Rangers. Put them in the same environment as Civil War'' and many things will vivaciously happen, including divided loyalties, deconstruction of most of the characters (including original characters), and increasingly low public opinion which leads to a full-blown war with Megazords, the awakening of an ancient demon that terrorizes the city of Briarwood THE ENTIRE WORLD, complete with every ranger dying to boot, and a serious take on the basic premise of Power Rangers itself.
    • YMMV on this one as, like Civil War, some characters end up OOC for the needs of the premise (Rose in particular stands out, going from The Smart Girl and a Deadpan Snarker to a Crusading Widow who intentionally targets a catatonic person for some Misplaced Retribution), there's an awful lot of rape and rape threats towards the female Rangers, the fridge logic of no other planets or organizations in this universe saved by the Power Rangers intervening, and a grimdark ending where all of the Rangers killed by said ancient demon are tormented by the villains they fought for quite possibly the rest of eternity.

Absolution by mcmeekin

  • Recommended by: windleopard
  • Status: Complete.
  • Synopsis: Snapshots of a life lived by Katherine Hillard: on guilt, glowing eyes, and growing up.
  • Tags: depression
  • Comments: An at times heartbreaking but ultimately well-written one-shot that explores Kat's character during and after her Power Rangers career. It gives her much better development than the show did and looks at some moments from the show in an interesting new light.

The Ranger's Rest by wildforce71

  • Recommended by: windleopard
  • Status: Ongoing.
  • Synopsis: A story about Fran from Jungle Fury and several other Ranger characters meeting at the Ranger's Rest, a restaurant that exists outside of regular time and allows Rangers from various points in time to interact with each other.
  • Comments: Funny and well-written with some nice character moments.

We Could Be Immortals by kathillards

  • Status: Complete.
  • Synopsis: They say Pinks are the heart of a team. Too bad Corinth doesn't have one. ―- (five pink rangers who survived the apocalypse).
  • Tags: Off screen character deaths, apocalypse, drama.
  • Comments: The fic is a series of five one-shots showing each of the core members of the RPM team each interacting with a Pink Ranger from the past. A truly heartwarming and heartbreaking experience.

Magiranger vs. Mystic Force by GreenNinja

Power Rangers Meet Zyuranger by TheDusty321

  • Recommended by: dudeu
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Lord Zedd finally hatches his most devious plot, beginning by sending the original Power Rangers team to another dimension to allow his deadliest Monster of the Week to destroy Angel Grove unopposed. When the Rangers find themselves in Tokyo, Japan, they must team up with the Zyurangers to find a way back home before it's too late.
  • Comments: This is a fun, touching and thrilling story, serving as a love letter to Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers and its source material while still providing as much thrilling campiness as the American show. They even have faithful calls to the mech summoning and Daizyujin along with some unforgettable battles. Don't forget the final battle with a special surprise.

Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.

Of Love and Bunnies by Crazy Girl 47

  • Recommended by JekWindu2, The Otaku Ninja, random_fan, TheViolentTomboy, SchizoTechnician, Mariko-chan
  • Status: Complete
  • Pairings: Tommy/Kim is the centerpiece, with Jason/Trini, Adam/Tanya, and Trent/Kira in the background. In the more recent stories, Kat and Conner.
  • Synopsis: Angel Grove decides to give Power Rangers Day another try. Tommy is dragged back to town by the newly-retired Dino Thunder Rangers, who want to meet his old team and relive his glory days. Kim also arrives to celebrate old times. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Comments: While the quality of writing here is top notch, what really sells this is one is how absolutely hilarious it is. Over 100 chapters and counting, there's something to laugh at pretty much every other paragraph. The characters are well-realized and stand up remarkably well as the same people who fought Rita and Zedd +10 years. Quiet good, highly regarded.
    • This troper really likes how the author intertwines the various seasons together, and also fills in a few plotholes/adds characterizations/explains a few things that the show never touched on. It's kinda long, but still really good.
    • Absolutely brilliant. The entire thing is completely ridiculous yet not once do you find yourself thinking that anything going on is unrealistic. Recently, Rangers from most of the other seasons (at least those before Dino Thunder) have shown up and it's slowly building a plot. It helps that while being off the wall crazy the actual dramatic moments are written with the same skill that the comedic moments are.
    • Anybody wanna make a page for this one? Definitely deserves one, but dunno how to start it.

Happiness Comes in a Manshirt by anolinde

  • Recommended by TheViolentTomboy
  • Pairings: Tommy/Kim
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: Conner and Ethan get more than they bargained for when they go to Tommy's house to ask him to raise Conner's paper grade.
  • Comments: A cute one-shot with funny but spot-on characterizations. What else can I say? Though I do love DT stories that make references to Tommy's old teams.

Paint by Alifredson

  • Recommended by: Meduini
  • Crossover with: MMPR, Dino Thunder, Power Rangers
  • Status: incomplete
  • Synopsis: Tommy is repainting his house and when shopping for paint, runs into Kimberly Hart at the paint store in Reefside, where she works.
  • Pairing(s): Tommy/Kimberly, Billy/Katherine Hillard, Jason Lee Scott/Trini
  • Tags: Post-Dino Thunder, Fix-it, The Letter was a Lie, Second Chances, Chance Meetings
  • Comments: It's a fun story that honors canon to some degree when it comes to pairings (acknowledges previous Tommy/Kim and Tommy/Kat), the Word of Gay about Hayley, and also comes up with a plausible reason as to why Tommy was able to get a doctorate in paleontology in less time then it usually takes (anywhere between 8 and 11 years to get). Expect time between updates, as the author also writes one-shots in between writing and publishing chapters of this story. The Billy/Kat pairing is a bit of a surprise, as there's no explanation as of yet as to when Billy returned from Aquitar or even why. As the fic is primarily centered around Tommy, Kim, and the Dino Thunder team, with cameos by Trini and Jason, this troper doubts that Billy's leaving in Zeo and subsequent in-fic return will be addressed for a while. It's the first planned fic for what the author implied to be at least a 2-fic series, so this troper hopes that it'll be addressed at some point.

Multiverse of Madness by Puerto Rican Ranger

  • Recommended by Zancrowe
  • Status: In Progress
  • Pairings: JJ/Minh, Jason/Trini, Tommy/Kimberly.
  • Synopsis: A Minh x JJ Story. A Mother & Daughter Story. After the events of Once & Always, Minh Kwan is officially the Yellow Ranger, but a training session gone wrong sends her & JJ to an alternate 2017 where the Power Rangers have only just debuted. The multiverse is in peril as she must try to prove to these younger variants of her mentors who she is before tragedy strikes again! Crossover with Power Rangers (2017).
  • Comments: Very heavily inspired by both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (Boom! Studios), this story sets up quite the What If... continuation to both universes in quite the intriguing way.
