A lot of good fics mentioned so far - some fics that I haven't seen mentioned yet (or perhaps they've been mentioned but I missed them):
Works in Progress -
A Choice Denied, by Kore Anesidora (on FFNet)
A Queen Without Power, by Caroline
A Song of Merry Discontent, by SkyetheWriter, looks promising, despite it being only a chapter so far.
Atonement, by Bond.Jane (Angst alert)
The newly posted
Averno, by deemn, looks very promising.
Still waiting on
Every Inner Inertia, by Shreds of Serenity, to be further developed. (A bit of angsty drama so far)
Even Angels Fall, by Queen Nan (Angsty drama alert)
Home, by Echo-AU (Also a bit of angsty drama) (on FFNet)
I Just Need A Moment, by LZClotho
lately i don't think of you at all, by broken-social-contract (Serious angst alert)
Singing the Same Line All Over Again, by museless22 - Another promising fic I'm waiting on, because I'm a sucker for a decently-written time-travel trope (but it's so short, *sigh*)
The Queen's Favor, by anamatics - I'm really surprised no one has mentioned this one yet. It's very, very good.
The Snow Queen, by Ryaninthesky

Insanity, by les cousins dangereux
Realm of Shadows, by Raven and Bear (on FFNet)
The Overturn of the Evil Queen, by DiMick
The Magic Touch, by Once Upon a Femmeslash - Just a light-hearted piece that hit my funnybone, though some of the humor is a little over the top.
Thicker Than Oceans, by adventurepants (on AO3)
True Love's Kiss, by museless22
Seconded or thirded or whatever. They've been mentioned, but they're worth mentioning again
-
Works in Progress (as in, unbecoming...squeeing--as much as I hate using that word, it's very apt here-- occurs whenever a new update is posted):

These Aren't the Happy Endings You're Looking For, by Exquisiteliltart (on FFNet)
Completed (as in, they're finished, so if you haven't read them already, you have no excuse since the links are
right there What are you waiting for? ...but I have a feeling everyone here has already read them, so whatevs
):
a fruit that's death to taste, by maleficently (on AO3)
Battle Towards Surrender, by fictorium (on AO3)
Black Lace, by Standbackufools (on FFNet)
Dreamscape, by B of Ericaland (on FFNet)

Land and the Sea series, by adventurepants (on AO3)
The Debt and A Ledger Squared In Blood, by Scribes and Scrolls (on FFNet)
This Great Distance, by chilly_flame (on LJ)
And finally, a blanket recommendation for fictorium's (AO3 account is more comprehensive than FFNet) and Exquisiteliltart's (FFNet) fics because there are too many one-shots for me to enumerate here.
Most of these I just pulled from my FFNet list (if you couldn't tell from the alphabetization
), since I don't have an AO3 account and I'm just now discovering the LJ and tumblr fics that haven't been cross-posted (I'm relatively new to the fandom). I should also say, there are a lot of good angst-fics that I would recommend if I could easily find them but I don't tend to re-read them because they give me heavy boots and so I don't tend to bookmark them, although that may change now that I finally have my own computer again.
*Mod Note: Proboards doesn't permit links to M rated fics.
*Response to Mod note: Ah, my apologies, I didn't know about that. Thanks for fixing it.
