Growth

I've figured out a common factor of almost all my fav stories, so I decided to start a thread to see if I could find more of the same type:

The main character growing (in reasonable steps) into an embodiment of win.
These stories are usually at least 50k words long to have the character develop at a reasonable pace, and are often a lot longer then that.

Some good examples of this type of fic:

Human Sayajin (Ranma / DBZ)

To Break Her Chains ( and sequals) as well as the Rune Ranko series (Ranma)

Dance of the Pyreflies (Naruto with FFX flavor)

Team 8 (Naruto)

Training for the Job (Naruto)
(I don't have this link handy, but it should be easy to find)

Second Chance At Life (And the sequel Changes in a Time of War) (HP)

Most of jbern's fics

After the Vault (Fallout)

Chronicles of Murphy (Lotoss SI)
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2329135/16/Chr...f_Murphy_Book_1

Fire's Sailor Mercury in the Wheel of Time verse... don't have title or link

M.McGregor's I am Who I Am and Zeppo in Mind fics (BTVS)

Tenhawk's Seal Team 13, and a couple of others (BTVS)

These are just a few from scrolling around in my favorites and my memories, and I'm sure some aren't as good as I remember. In general, I'm looking for reasonable steps of growth. "And he spent 2 years learning x" really doesn't do it for me, especially when I'd expect stuff to happen in those 2 years.
