The Butterfly Dream by WyvernQuill

rating: T, word count: 12.7k, chapters: 6/6

Stanley wakes up in a hospital after the Parable and finds out it was all a fever/coma dream. The reality, however, feels like a nightmare without the omnipotent voice. Yet still, the Narrator wasn't just a product of Stanley's fantasy :)

note: I really love angst with a happy ending, their co-dependency is well described here. Also, spoiler alert(?), Stanley is an artist and The Narrator a scriptwriter.

The Together Parable by AJDoodle

rating: T, word count: 81.7k, chapters: 35/35

Stanley and The Narrator escape the Parable together, except each of them wake up in the real world alone, not knowing the other is alive and well. One day, Stanley reads a book which closely describes his oh so familiar stuck-in-an-infinite-loop-with-a-Brit situation by Nigel Salt. They eventually become pen pals, and Stanley only hopes his relationship with Nigel will fill the hole in his heart from losing the Narrator.

note: Your classic romcom with silly misunderstandings and lots of crying. To balance it, there's fluff and also a bit of domesticity to feast on! :D The scenes are sweetly written. Kept me sane in the mornings.

The Coworkers Ending by 8Pandacakes

rating: T, word count: (17k), chapters: 11/?

All of his co-workers were... there? And they, together with Stanley, uncover the mysteries of the mind control and the Boss. The Narrator is left in the Parable, patiently waiting for Employee 427 to return back.

note: This got me hooked! I've always wanted to read something featuring the coworkers present. Even though we don't see the Narrator, his witty monologue is delivered by Stanley's thoughts.

Stanely Writes Fanfiction by Rhododecahedron

rating: G, word count: 5.1k, chapters: 4/4

"Okay Stanley, I’ve discovered Ao3 and I find it highly offensive that people out there think they can write my story better than I can. So why don’t we beat them to the chase and write our own fanfic?"

note: Pfft, they are so in character. This is like 90% of The Narrator blabbing n yapping about how to write properly, but it's funny. Feels like a deleted scene from TSP.

Everything Is Absolutely Perfectly Normal and Fine by HoneyKnight29

rating: M, word count: 4k, chapters: 1/1

The Narrator is infected by a LoveBug, acts all lovey-dovey and Stanley pushes down gay panic. That's it folks. That's the whole plot!

note: Yes, of course there's more to it, but I'm no spoil. Consists of humorous love letters from a 'Secret Admirer', PowerPoint love confessions in the Meeting Room, or even an out of pocket marriage proposal (lmao). I'm doney with the funny.
