Alternate Universe - Logan and Veronica's relationship is falling apart as Veronica investigates a mysterious murder connected with Aaron Echolls. There is a warning that some spoilers for later episodes may be included as the story progresses but it really is very different.
Pimpin' Ain't Easy (NC17) by lit_chick08
Canonical - Veronica is still going after the Pi Sigs, and Logan is sick of her not including him in her life. Great fic.

Lost in the Sounds (NC17) by misa-05

Canonical - Logan's thoughts on Veronica's inability to trust him.
The Secret Woman (NC17) by secrets_and_lie
Alternate Universe - Takes place during the fight in 3.03, Veronica's undercover and soon she's under something else. Hee. Great escapism.
You've Got Mail (PG) by rowanlove
Canonical - It says it has spoilers up until 3.05 but it is more relevant to all the events and issues raised in 3.03. Veronica and Logan discuss Piz's e-mail stalking (which is a little OOC in and of itself but very cathartic).
Rise and Fall (G) by _cuethepulse
Canonical - There's a reason Logan Echolls likes to surf. Only really spoils up to 2.01, but was written after and resonates with a certain conversation from this episode.
Everything is Coming Up Sevens (NC17) by starxd_sparrow

Slippery Slope (R) by wily_one24
Canonical - Post 3.06 (using spoilers from 3.07 but not the episode). I should warn people that this isn't for fundamental LoVe shippers or people who don't think Veronica could cheat on Logan. This fanfic is basically an exploration of a disconcerted Veronica confronting Keith's infidelity and questioning her own capacity to give all of herself to someone. Take the warning about Piz/Veronica and Weevil/Veronica seriously.
Spiral (Light R) by chichuri
Canonical - Could be considered an AU but it's an introspective Logan fic with projections about the future, so I consider it canonical. Basically Logan looks at what Veronica means to him and what he'd be willing to sacrifice to save her from herself.
Down the Rabbit Hole (R) by Gertinator
Alternate Universe - A reaction to Veronica's mood about Logan but not focusing on specific episodic spoilers. When Logan gets dumped, his life just gets worse. Real depressing but very good.

Canonical - Missing scenes after Logan finds Veronica: taking her to the hospital etc. Great angst.

This is How it Goes (PG) by brencon
Canonical - Set directly after the episode. The smoke clears, Logan knows she'll never trust him, and Veronica knows is oblivious to what she's losing. Much better fallout from the episode then what we got.

Canonical - Set some time after 3.07. Here's a fic that tries to crack through Veronica's shell and get inside her dysfunctional head.
