General Reccommendations
It's a bashfic without being a bashfic, if that makes any sense. I was actually just about to rec it, 'cause I haven't visited this thread in a week or two. Anyway, on to another rec. <a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7827860/1/An_Alternate_Keitaro_Urashima' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>An Alternate Keitaro Urashima</a>. Written by Karndragon, the same guy who wrote For His Own Sake.
Plot start: Keitaro got over his promise girl thing several years before LH begins, and is all the better for it. Then he's invited by his grandmother over to her "Inn." The story kicks off from there.
It does go into some of the pitfalls that most LH stories fall into, but overall I think it's an interesting story. If you've read For His Own Sake, you'll recognize some similar things. The author uses some of the same OCs (Keitaro's extended family) he introduced in For His Own Sake, so it's a nice bonus to see how their relationships are much different because of Keitaro's decision.
