I don't read a lot of fanfic, but when I do read stuff like that I tag a batch of them with pocket, and then sync the pocket article to the kobo and read it offline.
This probably only works if you don't have to log in to read it, and pocket works with about 80% of websites (or maybe more, maybe it has gotten better).
For ones it doesn't work with, I use the pocket+ calibre plugin to download, to an epub from the broken pocket link. That should work even with password protected sites, I think, but it might take some fiddling with the recipe.
For the remaining ones that don't work, if the piece is more than 5 minutes of reading, it's worth my time to scrape it out of the web browser and use calibre to manually build an epub and side load it. I've found a couple of tricks that make that work go fast. (about 5 minutes) I've yet to find a page that doesn't work for. (Hint: go into brower's developer mode, drill down to the div containing the meat of the page, and rightclick/save and import that into calibre, and then there may be some small cleanup work to do in the calibre epub and metadata editors.)
