These are fanfics I've collected that either have a primary focus on Flynn, or feature some form of character analysis/introspection. Some of them may feature ships and pairings, but not as the main focus of the story. (You can find shipfics here.) Both movie and show canon are included and ratings vary. Please mind the tags and warnings!
