Finding battletech fanfiction is never easy- it's spread thinly all over the internet. The recent forum trouble hasn't helped matters either. So here are a series of links. Some are to Battletech Fanfiction sites, some are to specific stories. All of the pure Battletech stories are of a decent length and a good quality- no short, poorly written fics on this list.
There is, towards the bottom, links to every Battletech crossover I can find which didn't make me want to claw my eyes out in agony.

Kerensky and Kurita.
Stefan Amaris killed Richard Cameron, and took over the Terran Hegemony, and tried to kill all of the Camerons, to remove all possible contenders for the throne.
He missed one.
Stefan Amaris held important hostages from the successor states, to ensure they would obey him.
The Dragon refused.
Stefan Amaris thought he could conquer the Terran Hegemony, and hold it.
Aleksandyr Kerensky, Minoru Kurita and Stephen Cameron are about to prove him wrong.

Dashing, Daring Darius Davion, Cousin of Hanse Davion, is the toast of the Federated Suns. He's been everywhere, done everything.
He's also a coward, a regicide, a murderer, and the biggest fraud in the Inner Sphere.
In the finest traditions of Blackadder.

Archangel's Amazing Adventures
During the events of Gundam Seed, the Archangel is thrown into another dimension- along with the 4 ZAFT Gundam pilots who keep trying to destroy it. They find themselves stuck with oneanother, as the Archangel travels from dimension to dimension. Chapters 9-16 take place in the Battletech universe, during the Clan Invasion, and subsequent chapters make great use of salvaged mechs from the battletech universe.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3729961/1/Archangels_Amazing_Adventures(Note: The author, for all his various weaknesses, is very good about letting his battles be decided by simulating the battles on tabletop, and sticking to the roll of the dice.)
Gundam Seed (And various influences from most other Gundam continualities, and the odd bit of Sailor Moon)
Multimage Empire series
In a distant future of the Battletech universe, where magic exists (though is very, very rare), the Multimage Empire has learned how to travel between dimensions, absorbing people and technology from many incarnations of earth- especially the Gundam ones. Now, a fleet misjumps, through time and space, finding itself stranded in the Cosmic Era of Gundam Seed.
(Note: Uses battletech rules for battles, equipment, Clan culture, but does not take place in the Inner Sphere.)
Legend of the Jokers Wild: The Mojlner is stranded in the Cosmic Era. Takes place during the end of Gundam Seed, through the years afterwards, working up to the end of Gundam Seed Destiny (though this revision hasn't got that far yet)
