Stories by Theme

This is an early attempt at organizing stories by theme. These pages haven't been updated, for the most part, since 1999 or 2000. We're keeping them around for nostalgia's sake. For a better and comprehensive means of finding stories by theme, please visit our Fanfic Database page and download our most recent spreadsheet, which includes fields for themes.

"Spoiler" Warning: For some stories, merely including them in a category gives away a major plot point, or some information the author had intended as a surprise. Stories in the Revelations categories, for example, will have someone finding out Clark is Superman. Sometimes that happens as the climax of the story, and the author would rather have sprung it on you. And maybe you'd have preferred that too. So, this is your spoiler warning: if you don't want hints about something that happens in a story, your best bet is to sift through the archive at random (which is something you'll want to do anyway!). But if you prefer certain types of stories, and you know what you want going in, keep scrolling.
