Well, found a couple pretty good stories a while ago, but remembered just now to suggest them for everyone's perusal.
<a href='http://m.fanfiction.net/u/389482/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Dusk-03</a>'s <a href='http://m.fanfiction.net/s/6620727/1/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Chronicles of Le Monde</a> & <a href='http://m.fanfiction.net/s/7551805/1/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Anthology of Le Monde</a>. Both are 01-based, with smatterings of 02, & bits of the rest. It's AU using a bit of the world layout from
Zero no Tsukaima & historical Europe in general. I felt it had strong characterizations without overplaying any strengths or weaknesses. It made great use of characters throughout the universe, creating intriguing new roles that feel believable (to my admittedly weak knowledge). Well, & I adore Taichi &, to a lesser extent, Daisuke. In particular, Koushiro gets to be quite awesome while Jyou is surprising.
The Chronicle's summary is:
After Gennai sends Taichi to check out an possible threat to the Digital World, he finds himself in a world different then his own. Now he must survive the final year at St.Germain Academy, school for children of nobles, as Taichi de Basse Normandie.
The anthology's is:
Collection of one-shots and short stories, of prologues and epilogues. Side stories from Chronicles of Le Monde
I have to say, the anthology's latest chapter - a remake of
Summer Wars using Digimon - slid in as well as I thought it would. All the integration without the particular kind of overdone sci-fi. Well, to me, anyways.
Oh, there's also <a href='http://m.fanfiction.net/u/344469/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Squit Ayumin</a>'s 'A Losing Game', which seems alright, but I personally didn't like as much because it focuses more on the negative aspects of Taichi. At the start at least.
He thought soccer was all he wanted until he lost his chance with her. Throwing himself into an overwhelming downward spiral, Tai learns that life is not always so easy, fame not so infinite and that, sometimes, you aren't the good guy after all.
