There are many reasons people read and write fan fiction, but I think it basically boils down to a desire to spend more time in a particular world with specific characters. We close the book and long for more stories, scenes, and interactions between our favorite characters. Sometimes we get our wish fulfilled by published sequels, and sometimes we’re reading books by authors long dead. Such is the case with L.M. Montgomery’s beloved classic, Anne of Green Gables. Now sure, Montgomery did write a series of sequels, following Anne Shirley from childhood through her college years and into adulthood. But you know, sometimes seven sequels isn’t enough! The world is dark and life is hard, so maybe we want to return to Avonlea and escape for a bit. Thank goodness for Anne of Green Gables fanfiction!
With the recent Netflix adaptation, new fanfics set in the Anne With An E universe are easily found on Archive of Our Own (AO3). There is also quite a bit of fanfics, fanvids, and drabbles to be found in the Green Gables Fables (a modern adaptation) world, particularly on Tumblr. Between sorting through those and works that are set in the 1980’s film adaptation continuity, it can be tough to find fan fiction set in the original book series timeline. Thankfully, I’m here to help.
I’ve rounded up twenty Anne of Green Gables fanfiction stories, and divided them between tropes, pairings, and settings, so hopefully there is something for everyone. I should note that I have not read every single word of every single fic (some of them are over 30,000 words, y’all!), but except where noted, these are all completed stories and appropriate for all ages. If you have a favorite Anne of Green Gables fanfic, please share it with me in the comments!
This nearly-40,000 word fanfic imagines what happened at the end of Anne of the Island between Anne and Gil that made him propose once again: Courage to Try Again
