A'ight, I'm nowhere near a place where I could give you a comprehensive list, but here's what I have so far off the D.Long-winded list:
Lady Indecisive's Real Smile isn't bad, though a bit long: T, romance/angst, 259,505 words, girl!Allen, main pairing KandaAllen but nothing has happened yet (I was deliriously happy over a fic where the main objective was plot over pr0n); characterisation is good, and if you ignore the copious internal monologuing it's an all-around good read.
Riku-dono's Smirking Shadow is special special Finnish!bad-English genfic: T, drama, 109,725 words, Allen-centric; focuses on a situation where Tyki planted, like, a Tease in Allen's soul or something and now he's got multiple personalities, one of which likes to kill people, and he's taken in by the Noahs for the lulz. Allen's characterisation struck me as unnecessarily (and, in some instances, disturbingly) childish, but what the hey.
Firey-Moonlight's In Cold Embraces isn't that bad either, if you don't mind a bunch of OCs, xover characters and minor characters brought to life: T, Adventure/Romance, 291,997 words, Noah!Allen, KandaAllen w/side TykiLavi and RoadLenalee (both of which are actually somewhat bearable, surprisingly enough); AR in which the Earl has this "New Child" project trying to create Noahs like the Order was trying to create Exorcists, except more successful. Allen has been part of that project, and is the program's greatest success, and when a team of Exorcists runs across an Accommodator in the Noahs' hands they immediately set about retrieval, resulting in Noah infiltration of the Order. Allen's character is of course altered, but is fairly decently portrayed; this fic is actually one of the better ones on the list. A lot of this fic is dedicated to politics, subterfuge and other delicious delicious plotty aspects that were like candy to me after so many PWPs. If you can stomach the mad OCs and xover characters, this fic is def. worth it.
And then of course there's the pretty pretty origins!speculation!gen of artbug's Mana and Cross and Komui and Dhampir72's Bookman and perhaps that Kanda Gaiden thing I haven't gotten around to yet.
