Most folks diving into the Bell x Aiz fanfic pool are heading straight to Archive of Our Own, no question. It's become the default hub for that kind of curated, tag-heavy content, especially for pairings from 'DanMachi'. The sheer volume and the ability to filter by tropes—hurt/comfort, alternate first meetings, post-Under Resort scenarios—is unbeatable for really specific cravings. You can lose an entire afternoon just scrolling through the 'Bell Cranel/Ais Wallenstein' tag.
That said, FanFiction.net still holds a massive, if slightly older, archive. The UI feels clunkier and searching is less precise, but there's a treasure trove of longer-form fics from the earlier days of the fandom there. I've found some epic, novel-length fics on FFN that never got cross-posted. Just be prepared to sift a bit more.
For a more community-focused, real-time vibe, the DanMachi sections on SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity forums have active threads dedicated to story ideas and snippets. It's less about polished one-shots and more about collaborative brainstorming and seeing concepts get workshopped live, which is its own kind of fun. Discord servers dedicated to the series or to fanfic writing in general often have channels where people drop links to their work hosted on AO3 or Google Docs, too. You kinda have to be in the know to find those, though.
Honestly, the landscape has centralized so much around AO3 that other spots feel like annexes or relics, but each has its own flavor and history worth poking around in if you're a completionist.

If I'm being real, I've been so deep in that tag lately, and it's honestly less about specific storylines and more about what readers are craving from that dynamic. Right now, the big wave is 'post-canon reunion' fics. People are hungry for scenes where Abel survives the finale and they find each other again, years later. The angst potential is just chefs kiss.
Another huge one is role reversal or 'what if' scenarios. What if Abel had been the one corrupted by the abyss first, and Abyss has to save him? Those stories get really messy and psychological, which I love. There's also a lot of 'co-dependent road trip' AUs that have taken off, where they're two broken people traveling across a wasted landscape. It's less about grand plot and more about quiet moments of healing (or further damage).
I'd say the most popular plotlines all circle back to that central tension: the sacred versus the profane, the healer and the blight. Writers just can't get enough of poking that bruise.

I stumbled across this pairing completely by accident, honestly. It was in a huge multi-chapter fic focused on another ship, and their scenes together just hooked me. The writer was playing with this idea of mirrored damage—both characters are these powerhouses who have been through horrific things, but Abel's trauma is worn on the outside, in his physical state, while the Abyss's is all internalized, this deep, cosmic loneliness.
What makes the emotional tension crackle, at least in the best fics I've read, isn't just them comforting each other. It's the friction. Abel, with his human(ish) history and guilt, trying to apply logic to something fundamentally alien and ancient. The Abyss, in turn, perceives his suffering as something beautiful and profound, which is both unsettling and weirdly tender. That gap in understanding, where one character's pain is the other's aesthetic, creates this delicious, awful ache. You're never sure if it's healing or a deeper kind of corruption, and that ambiguity is the whole point.
A lot of it hinges on the Abyss being an entity, not a person. The best writers don't try to humanize it too much; they let it be vast and strange, so Abel's attempts to connect feel even more fragile and brave.

I stumbled into this ship by accident when looking for niche 'Tower of God' content, and it’s surprisingly fertile ground. The dynamic hinges on a total role reversal from their source material positions—Abel as the hopeful, stubborn regular and Abyss as this ancient, weary administrator. Most compelling fics I’ve read don’t just slap them together as a romance; they explore the sheer cognitive dissonance of their interaction. Abyss has seen countless Abels rise and fall, and this particular Abel’s refusal to accept that cycle creates a fascinating push-pull. It’s less about love confessions and more about ideological warfare with a weirdly intimate undertone.
One story that stuck with me had Abyss using the Hidden Floor simulation tech to confront Abel with different versions of himself—failures, tyrants, broken heroes. The tension came from Abel rejecting every simulation as ‘not him’ while Abyss grew increasingly frustrated, his detached curiosity shifting into something almost personal. That’s the gold, I think: writing Abyss as someone who believes he knows every possible outcome, only to find this one irregular variable that scrambles his entire equation. The power imbalance is immense, so the growth has to come from Abyss being slowly, unwillingly changed.

where two characters from different modern worlds end up in the same fantasy realm. It's weirdly specific but hits a sweet spot. For me, nothing beats Archive of Our Own for sheer volume and tagging precision. The 'Double Isekai' tag there has over 800 works, and you can filter for specific crossovers like 'The Rising of the Shield Hero'/'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime' stuff. People really go deep on the worldbuilding conflicts there.
Royal Road can be decent if you're into the progression fantasy angle, but you have to dig through a lot of original stuff to find the fanfic, and their search isn't built for pairings. I stumbled on a few gems by manually checking author bookmarks. SpaceBattles and Sufficient Velocity forums have dedicated threads for 'Isekai vs Isekai' scenarios, often with a more debate-driven, power-system focus that's fun but less character-driven.
The real trick is finding authors who care about the cultural clash between the two transported souls, not just the power fantasy. AO3 tends to attract those writers.
