He's Not Into You, Lucy van Pelt! by JayDogg187
Recommended by: Starbrand Fan
Status: Complete
Synopsis: One pulled football too many causes a verbal altercation between Charlie Brown and Lucy. Consequences occur. So this is going from a one-shot to an anthology of short stories which may have an overarching plot, but will each end with a sense of closure. So now I feel the story has run its course and so will be lowering the final curtain on it.
Pairing(s): Charlie Brown/Lucy Van Pelt

i'm not your manic pixie dream girl By [[orphan_account]]

- Status: Complete
- Characters: Schroeder, Lucy van Pelt
- Synopsis: “Lucy and Schroeder deal with growing up as gifted kids but not automatical sucessful adults. They deal with it and find themself.
- Warning: mentions/implications of sex, alcohol
- Comments: As the title suggests this is a twist/fight against the idea of Manic Pixie Dream Girl, aka the idea that a woman exist just to help a male character find himself (and also to have sex with him). It is hopeful despite the struggle that feels very real.

Everybody's Gotta Leave Sometime by Dark Mark Read here.
- Recommended by: Ariachus
- Status: One-Shot
- Synopsis: Written shortly before the death of Charles Schulz, at which time the Peanuts gang had to face the fact of going on without him.
- Tags: Drama.
- Recommended by: FoxBluereaver
- Status: Ongoing (Last updated on June 1, 2019)
- Synopsis: A little series of 4-panel strips featuring Lila (Snoopy's original owner) moving to Charlie Brown's neighborhood and joining the rest of the gang.
- Pairing: Charlie Brown/Lila
- Comments: A simple premise, yet it works so well it might as well be written by Schultz himself. A pretty good use of a rather minor character who didn't even meet Charlie Brown in the strip, and while it keeps the humor and spirit of the original, it also gives Charlie Brown some love with a girl who genuinely likes him.
Not Everything Changes Charlie Brown by TheBringerOfPain
- Recommended by: Killusion
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: Charlie Brown is now nineteen and in an existential crisis as he ponders the things that have slipped away from him as he's grown older, so much so that he's in danger of losing focus on what he has been able to hold onto.
- Pairing: Lucy/Charlie Brown
- Tags: Drama
- Comments: One shot that is ultimately bittersweet. It has good characterization of all of the present peanut characters as well as having a powerful theme of change as Charlie Brown combats the regrets he has in his life. There is a chemistry and life to the interactions of the characters as well as a nice resolution. Would definitely recommend a read.
