Nova the Jungle Girl by kuramasgur1018
- Recommended by: Neidhardt 03
- Status: Dead
- Synopsis: In this retelling of Disney's Tarzan, instead of finding a human boy and naming him Tarzan, Kala finds a human girl and names her Nova. Aside from that, the Story progresses pretty much exactly like the Disney Film, and Jane is just as fascinated by Nova as she was by Tarzan in the film.
- Comments: Being published in 2011, this is the earliest attempt at a genderbend Tarzan fanfiction, at least the earliest to be publicly available. It's marked as "Dead" because it hasn't been updated for 12 years and the story cuts off abruptly at what in the film was the end of the "Strangers like me" song.

- Tags: raised by lions, family, romance, brotherly bond
- Comments: This fic is about our 2 favorite jungle heroes as brothers. The way Sarabi, a lion, is so motherly towards Tarzan, a human being, is so cute that you just want more interaction between them! The same goes for Mufasa and Simba accepting Tarzan as their son and brother. This author knows how to pull one's heartstrings!
