- Pairing: Grim/Mandy
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Grim is recalled to the Underworld to fulfill his duties, something Mandy will not allow, even if she must literally fight all The Legions of Hell to prevent herself from losing him.

- Also, unlike many Grim/Mandy shipping fics, in no way is this similar to Bleedman's work.

My Father, The Reaper by DeadSquidWriter
- Recommended by Jackie-Chaos-Bunny
- Status: In Progress
- Synopsis: An alternate universe where, instead of getting duped into eternal servitude over a geriatric hamster, Grim already knew one of the kids quite well by the time “Meet The Reaper” happened, because, well... In this AU he’s Mandy’s adoptive dad. So things are a little different and she’s also a lot nicer to him than in canon.
- Comments: A cute (and promising-looking) AU in which Grim adopts a young Mandy after finding her as the sole survivor of an accident that claimed the lives of her parents.
Crossovers
Something Grim This Way Comes by Ruskbyte- Recommended by Truec
- Status: Dormant
- Pairing: hints of Mandy/Harry, with some Eris/Ron played for laughs
- Synopsis: Instead of moving to Endsville where she would meet and, for lack of a better word, befriend Billy, Mandy moved to England as a child, and 'befriended' her new neighbor, Harry Potter. Several years later, when a letter from a certain magical school arrives, Mandy refuses to be left behind, and has Grim whip up a solution. Features students Harry, Mandy, Nergal Jr., and Eris, and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Hoss Delgado.
- Comments: Brilliant and hilarious, showcasing exactly what one would expect when Grim Adventures hits Harry Potter head on.
- Seconded by kahlen369 It's surprisingly believable. All the characters are spot-on (i.e. Snape, Dumbledore, McGonagall, etc.) It has the original flavor of BOTH shows. The plot is inventive and funny. The only bad thing about it is the EXTREMELY slow update rate. The last update took 4 years... But it's still not a dead fic (hopefully)
- Thirded by rikkuni. Funny, retains the Harry Potter feeling AND characterization? This is it!
- Fourthed by Tropical Snow. This deserves to go down in the fanfiction Hall of Fame as one of the most epic things ever. All the characters still retain their personalities but with a few twists and it's so darn entertaining!
- Fifthed by autobot. An amazing fic. At the end of first year, upon returning to Privet Drive, we find out Coop and maybe Jaime have moved to Britain.
