Due to a drive core malfunction, a human vessel arrives just in time to save the Council Envoy from the yahg. What happens when humanity enters the galactic stage not as the race that got attacked by the turians for breaking a law they weren't aware of, but as the race that saved a turian platoon from certain death? M for wartime violence, pre ME1 - ME3, no OP humanity.

Shepard chose to destroy Sovereign. The Council then declared war on the SA for that betrayal. The Humans tried to fight but it was a losing battle. Subjugation leading to extinction was not acceptable for making the hard military decision so the Humans chose another path and made a deal with the Reapers. The galaxy and the Cycle would never be the same. AU Terrans have a big stick

[AU] The Illusive Man said that salvation comes with a cost. When corruption seeps into the galaxy, when centuries of status quo suddenly breaks in a mere decade, when blood's spilled among the stars like never before, when extinction looms over civilization, when morality is merely a shade... salvation can only come with sacrifice. [AU First Contact War & Reaper War; GRAPHIC]

The Citadel Council and the Turian Hierarchy has been at war for a good half of a century. Eager to break the stalemate, The Hierarchy seeks out a new ally in a rising Systems Alliance, bringing the war back to full speed. The Alliance now goes through it's trial by fire, as it emerges from obscurity into the galactic stage. (AU no Krogan Rebellions/First Contact Wars)

Relations between the Terran Empire and the Citadel have been tense since the First Contact War, but efforts to reach amicable relations were bearing fruit. The discovery of a Prothean relic on Eden Prime offered another opportunity to improve relations, until things go badly awry. As Cadre, one of the emperor's chosen, Shepherd is charged with determining the truth, at any cost.

A few minor and realistic changes in the decisions made by the leaders of humanity drastically altered the path of Citadel Space and the Reaper War. This is the story of caution and planning over recklessness, the path of the juggernaut over the glass cannon. This is the story of humanity as it should have been. A power worthy of its Council seat, and one the Reapers can't ignore.

There is nothing fair, just, or honorable about war. There is only winning and losing, the living and the dead. Humanity has learned this truth and has ascended to the stars. What effect will this have on the rest of the galaxy, one that has experienced millennia of peace? Will it be able to maintain the peace or will it be ushered into a new age of war? Let the end begin. A/U

Reincarnation. Lovely. At least I have a a powerful Kekkei Genkai and foreknowledge on my side. I want to live to age 30, but nooooo; it has to be a fighting anime with Doomsday plan in motion! Kakashi is a Troll, Shisui can't deal, I'm stalked by an eldritch-ish Aburame and Itachi crashes on my couch now. Say bye-bye to canon! SI Kimimaro. Angst mild/none. No slash pairings

I thought that I now have a purpose in my second life, I thought that everything would be alright even if I am reborn as a villain because there's no way I will be one. At least that is what I thought until my purpose was taken away from me. Now, all I want is revenge. (Reincarnated OC as Zancrow)

AU: A quickly advancing Humanity discovers early on the fate of the ancient Protheans and the threat of the Reapers. Instead of exploring the galaxy with wonder and optimism, the leaders of the Terran Nation prepare their young race to save themselves. When they finally make First Contact, they begin their ultimate gambit; To ready all the galaxy to fight the Reapers!

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.

Vader gave his life for his son. He has slain the Emperor. The prophecy is fulfilled. But the Force is not happy. The prophecy was fulfilled too late in the design of things and sends its Chosen One back in time to where he can make a difference. Now Vader is in his prime, fully healed, sans the right arm being mechanical, and knowledge of the future. How will this play out?

Self-Insert. Gregor Clegane was one of the worst people to have ever existed. But what if someone else lived his life? What if a modern person of sound mind and honorable character was reborn as The Mountain? How would his rational and reasonable mind impact the ultimate outcome of Westeros? He just might be able to change the world for the better... Feedback is appreciated.

An ancient danger threatens the galaxy, unknown to all. A humanity which never discovered Prothean ruins, expanding through space on their own, emerges. Joined with the machines they created, hardened by war with a terrifying enemy, they read the writing on the wall. But will the galactic community already there listen to these newcomers, stirring up trouble everywhere they go?

Seth and his newly evolved Gardevoir decide to set out on their adventure after a long rest in Lavaridge Town. Seth wants to prove to his father that he has become powerful enough to beat him, but more importantly, he wants to show his lost first Pokemon that he is strong, and that it was a mistake to leave him. Can Gardevoir help him achieve this? PokeXHuman HumanXPoke

The Fire Nation family had three children, two of those were well known; the infamous Zuko who had been banished by his father and the powerful Azula who utilised blue fire. But what of Tadashi, the middle child of this strange family who is not known by many and why? Will continue into the Avatar Korra Era. Slight AU but consistent with the source material.

Darth Vader, the Chosen One of the force, makes a choice in the moment of his death and travels back in time to the beginning. This time, he will be his own Master. Stranded on Tattoine he decides to take in young Anakin and together with him prevent some of the bloodshed that is to come. There is only one problem: Vader is still very much a Sith and bloodshed is just so much fun.

I stumble upon a Prothean beacon, transporting me to the world of Mass Effect. Self-insert fic. Slightly AU. I do not own Mass Effect or any of its characters. I only own what I create. Rated M for language/violence/prob romance stuff. Please Rate and Comment! I welcome all ideas/criticism/comments! Thanks, guys! Complete. SEQUEL NOW UPLOADED: Beacon's Effect 2: Reborn.

The first time I ever tried to be a hero, I got shot in the head. The next time I woke, the first thought that crossed my mind, after 'Why am I waking up' was 'Why are those women blue' A self-insert that's different from my usual fare. Pairings are a toss-up.

Everyone has had or have, someone special in their life. But not Azula. But that's about to change, when a non-bender comes into her life. Who'll change her, and be her equal. Azula/OC. Will go AU, in later chapters. (Picture: AzulaXOC)

The story of Zuko's and Azula's brother as he seeks to break the avatar cycle.

Due to a shift in turian and quarian patrols, first contact for humanity is friendly; Rael'Zorah and Hannah Shepard become friends, as do their species. But the galaxy is not a safe place, and schisms develop when the Council steps in. As humanity finds new allies among the stars, something darker stirs. The Meek must beware, for it is nearly harvest time. AU, lots of worldbuilding
