I never thought life without Olga would cause so many problems for me. After all, out of everybody I knew, I was probably the only one with just cause enough to want her gone. But now that she was, everything was up in the air, including my relationship with Arnold. Could a view from Mighty Pete shed light on what I'd lost? Or help me lose Arnold forever?

Slam by Smarty0007

Helga is a slam poet. Arnold is a musician. What happens when the two collide?

Lovely Misandry by Airasora

Being in love for the first time is never easy, but to Arnold, it's downright torment. Not only has he been in love with her his whole life, not only is she his best friend; she hates and distrusts men with her entire being. He is the only exception, but how much of an exception is he really? Can he win over the girl whose heart has turned to stone by the men in her life?

Keeping Arnold:Or, How to Get Disowned by Lachesism

After ten long years in San Lorenzo, Arnold suddenly returns to Hillwood, throwing Helga's world into chaos irreversibly. Gerald and Phoebe start acting suspicious about his return; what secrets does he bring with him, and what does it mean for Helga? Can she get him to stay? Does she want him to stay? And how does Lila, mysteriously absent for years, factor into his return?

Ever After by Mouse9

The hottest thing on television is a teen drama called "Ever After". It's fresh, it's raw, and it's popular in the Shortman household. The problem is, the story might be a little less fiction and a little more family history.

Never After by Mouse9

The episode is called "Homecoming" It's a story that needed to be told. The second in the "Ever After" Series.

Discovery by Devoosha

A Hey Arnold fan fiction with the kids in 5th grade and beyond. The lead up to the events in The Jungle Movie and what is my version of the Jungle Movie and what happens after.

The Sweet Hereafter by Lord Malachite

A journey of selfdiscovery for Helga as she discovers who she is, with a little help from a certain Football Headed young boy.

Clean by American HOT Fender

I’ll Even Give Her Mine by apychopathsutopia

"So... Arnold had cheated on his girlfriend. My man Arnold. Cheated. On his girlfriend. But it was the way that he said it that really interested me: he just said it. It was a statement to him, not a confession, or a heart-wrenching admission of guilt. He said it the same way he'd tell me he was out of sugar."

All I Can Do by Smarty0007

Collection of events that eventually culminates in an understanding. And boy, does it take forever.

The Ant by Call Me Nettie

Just a quickie, a little bit more than a drabble but much less than a story. Hope you like it.

Lila Likes Helga by EVILinnocence666

Why Lila only likes Arnold and doesn't like-like him.

Kidnapping, Match-Making, & Everything-in-Between by theps118confessional

Helga Pataki- 26, now settled in almost every sense of the word: a steady job, a kid and a house- kind of, really doesn't think she qualifies as certifiably crazy anymore. That is- until she kidnaps Arnold Shortman's children. By accident. Sort of.

Leaves, Missed Signs, and the Incorrigible Effects of Time by theps118confessional

Arnold left. Arnold came back. Arnold didn't change at all. Everything else did. Helga hadn't physically hit someone in years, but God, did she want to punch him in the face.

Smoke On The Water by AiraSora

Trouble always seemed to find Arnold, especially if that trouble was Helga Pataki. After a fierce mud fight at a school trip, Arnold was forced to head back to shower. Helga was also left behind in order to change so when the rusty pipes gave out and left Arnold blind with his own shampoo who else could save him than the girl who had put him in this predicament to begin with?

Roadside Girl by AiraSora

Acting had in many ways been one of Helga's many skills. Arnold hadn't expected her to give a shot at a career in it though thereby leaving Hillwood to study abroad just when he had started to grow feelings for her. That smidge of love has turned into bitter resentment, so when the play Helga is cast in as the heroine is falling apart, can Arnold ignore the past pain and save it?

What Are The Odds by American HOT Fender

"-My leg is killing me!" She howled, "Crimeny it hurts!" At that, the young man paused and squinted very closely at his victim. "H-Helga?" He asked. Helga pried her eyes open and stared at him with a furrowed scowl, "Football head!" She barked. Of course! Who else would bowl her over but Arnold Shortman! Arnold freakin' Shortman.

The Elevator by American HOT Fender

It certainly wasn't how Helga Shortman had planned to spend her day. Trapped in an 8x7 space with her soon to be ex-husband. 1 elevator, 2 people, 6 hours. Will they kill each other or rekindle their love?

Oh, I Can’t Take Another Heartache by MellyTheHun

As Arnold begins his biggest adventure - growing up - he finds that the things he used to find easy and simple become more and more complicated and the people he used to have certain slots for in life... well, maybe they just don't fit in easily definable boxes the way he always thought. It's hard to tell if the world is getting bigger, or if he's just feeling, hearing and seeing more of it than before.

I Do My Best To Understand, Dear, But You Still Mystify by MellyTheHun

Puberty takes a physical and hormonal toll on our favorite Hillwood hero while he tries desperately to take control of his life, afraid that he is not the one holding the reigns.

Five Kisses by Commander
