I'm very fond of the Suomi Warders series by Dave Wainio.
It's a 3050s-era story about a mercenary unit from the Free Worlds League, lead by a corporate heir. This is a Clan-era story, but the focus of the plot isn't on galactic politics. Rather, it's a more...personal conspiracy that they're fighting against. Most BattleTech fanfic is about big and grand changes to the universe. This is different. And well done, I think.
The author does a very good job of depicting a unique unit with its own culture, history, and tactical doctrine. The characters and dialogue are great too.
Best of all, the Suomi Warders stories are complete. 19 parts in the original arc, and a two-part additional tale that picks up some years later, providing an epilogue for the entire thing.
Fair warning:- the writing in the first couple of chapters is a little rough. Not awful, but it could have used some editing. However...the writer gets much better as he goes along.
