Looking for fan missions similar to T2 7th Crystal

Hi fellow taffers,

Way back, when I have a lot more time to play, I played a hundreds of hours of T1 and T2 fan missions. Being little bit nostalgic, I decided to install TDM and try some of its missions. However, having not enough time, I was wondering if anyone could suggest missions with a strong emphasis on story and preferably with a twist or two. If you ever played T2 fan missions, I am looking for something similar to Saturnine's 7th Crystal (which is 20 years old now - wow, it was looong time ago).

I found many suggestions concerning best missions, but best does not necessarily means with a strong emphasis on story and twists. So I am asking which of those best missions meets my criteria. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say that most mission authors work to add a decent amount of story content

but these are the most story driven missions:

 

Grayman's William Steele series

Moonbo's "Requiem" and "A House of Locked Secrets"

Sotha's Thomas Porter series

Goldwell's Accountant series and Northdale series

Goldchocobo's "No Honor Among Thieves"

 

Team made missions like "Behind Closed Doors" and "The Painter's Wife" have pretty great story content but are more loose with narrative and more exploratory. Likewise Kingsal's Volta series and Melan's Penny Dreadful series have strong story design but it is mostly done through visual storytelling and world-building rather than lots of explicit readables, cut-scenes, or NPC dialog.

That said, there are also  some great single mission stories such as "King of Diamonds", "In Remembrance of Him", "A Night to Remember", "A Score to Settle", "Thief's Remorse", "Snowed Inn", "Langhorne Lodge", "Down by the Riverside", "The Golden Skull", The Hare in the Snare: Part 1"

I haven't done a deep dive into Bienie's "Chronicles of Skullduggery" series but I am inclined to place them into the "exploratory / loose" type of design rather than a more "curated \ linear" design based on the times I've played them.

Aside from those mentioned, and they are some of the best. William Steele is my favouite.  Cold Hursts Eaton is 
a really nice mission and has some original ideas, and a awesome twist at the end. My personal favourite type
of mission are manor houses. The Accountant series is also very good.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
