AU: Humanity failed to conquer FTL, having no Eezo in Sol, but they did manage to conquer many other technologies which have allowed them to become the masters of their solar system, but what happens when the Citadel Council stumble across them in the year 3517AD? The Citadel wants their technology, and Humanity wants out of Sol, but can a deal be struck?

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.

[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]

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.

After discovering an ancient artifact, the UNSC's most advanced warship and a Sangheili Assault Carrier are transported to a universe unlike anything they have ever seen, and forced into a war against a foe they never could have imagined.

Earth has been decimated, its lands infested with hive, taken and fallen. The last remnant of the light grows brighter at the defeat of Oryx. A Baron rebels against his Kell and House to reclaim what his race once had, and an object in deep space is discovered by Dead Orbit. Discovering a new galaxy full of races that may help bring hope to all under the banner of the Traveler.

I decided to try my hand at developing a timeline that would be feasible in the ME universe for a humanity that has been space faring for 50,000 years. So, look inside to see my own take on how a 50,000-year-old space capable humanity would develop and prepare the galaxy for the Reaper onslaught. Serious HFY! story. Complete

A house divided cannot stand. Following an explosive first contact, and the cementation of their place as a galactic superpower, the Systems Alliance must now deal with the consequences of their choices and the aftermath of their wars. Earth is set ablaze, Sparta is torn apart, and below it all simmers an ancient, apocalyptic plot. The finale to the WarVerse Prequel Wars trilogy.

Even after seeing their world burned, Humanity was able to stand up again, and push beyond their pre-war status and reach the heavens. But how will a hardened Humanity handle life among the stars? And how will others react to this aggressive newcomer?

We thought ourselves powerful, able to conquer a galaxy with nothing but toys. When we overcame every challenge, breached the space between the galaxies themselves, what use were the words of a race ashamed of their own past? Yet we cannot deny that we were warned, for while a challenge to a human is laughable, a challenge to humanity is a death sentence.

It is said that War never Changes; Men do, through the roads they walk, but War does not. The Humans fought The First War, and alongside the Quarians, the Alliance stands tall against the Galaxy in the face of continued adversity. Now Humanity's place is challenged, their power tested, and age-old beliefs are shattered when a beyond-ancient species is forced onto the playing field.

In 2148, a small team of American scientists and explorers found the greatest discovery in Human history; alien ruins on Mars. For the next two and a half centuries Human governments and corporations flew out from Earth, carving great empires and propelling Humanity into a new golden age of peace and prosperity. And in 2397, a Japanese explorer answered Humanity's oldest question.

Calder Dragonbane has lived a good life, and now on as he closes his eyes for the final time he goes to Sovngarde... Or so he thought. Awaking in the woods, and young once more. Calder must figure out where he is and why he has been set to this new world. Knowing his luck, Sheogorath sent him here just for shit's and giggles.

The Mage-Four manage to botch a simple scroll, and are sent a thousand miles the wrong direction. Before they know what's happening, Talia and Onmund are assumed Apostates, while Brelyna and J'zargo are nowhere to be found. Ferelden does not make a good first impression. Non-Dragonborn-fic.

When the Dragonborn ends up tainted and lost in Ferelden, he finds himself in the middle of another quest to save the world. Truthfully, he's just in it for the booze.

*Updates on Fridays* When the Breach is opened in Thedas, it tears more than just the Veil. Hermaeus Mora takes the opportunity to send a Champion to retrieve the knowledge he himself has no access to. And the Dragonborn finds himself roped into another world-saving quest.

"We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment...and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap". Paarthanax and Odahviing find out about Thedas, and send a reluctant Dragonborn to Kirkwall to watch over it. There she meets Hawke and her band...

(DISCONTINUED). 2257 CE. Citadel Space is going through an era of stagnation, but also one of relative peace and stability... Until a major faux pas by the Batarian Hegemony threatens to plunge it and a new galactic power into an all-out war, one which could bring an end to the peace which the Council has been trying so hard to uphold.

She came from distant shores to see a new world. What she found was a land cursed and a darkness to nearly rival Alduin himself. Lands gripped by hate and bigotry towards her kind and magic itself. Why are these lands so cursed? Does the answers reside in the Dawn and Dusk? (Long chapters & All Origins)

Humanity makes an earlier first contact, and with a different race. Thus, the history is changed.
