What happens if you have a fascination and natural curiosity with the otherworldly, and then the alien invasion comes? Now, what do you do when earth wins and puts you into a team with said aliens? More friendly conversation and comradery, right? Go tell that to the albino viper of Chimera squad, and watch if she is truly so steadfast when it comes to passion. Short lemon story

Speaker Amon visits a dear old friend of his for a chat. A fellow Viper, changed like him. But things don't go as planned.

A quick excursion to an abandoned ADVENT Outpost in the Appalachian Mountains turned Black Market gives Bradford and his team more than they bargained for. It also leads to a discovery he wasn't expecting to find so soon.

Zhang's topside and enjoying the rainy day as he takes a break from working in the workshop, but said break gets somewhat disturbed by one of the aliens that recently joined the remnants of the Asian XCOM branch. A Thin Man ambassador named Faruk Vosk.

Not all Vipers have stayed loyal to the Elders. Especially some of the changed ones. The Thin Men. The Elders tested her loyalty and eventually broke it. She questions how They swayed her and her kind for so long. But there are good memories within all that deception... and a few tragedies.

Geist and his acolytes(and additional helpers) take a trip back to the desolated XCOM base to scavenge some equipment to bolster his fledgling Templars. But Geist is also searching for answers for the past, present, and future.

It was a new world Jynn found herself waking up to, so much had changed within those 20 years of experimentation and imprisonment. She was thankful to be free of that hell but hesitant to take on the roll her old role. Commander of XCOM. A mere memory of what it once was. They had a lot on their plate and those Elders and their Chosen were hunting them like wild dogs at every turn.

What would it take for the Chosen, the very children of Gods Themselves, to abandon everything they know and defect to the resistance? Well, death is a good start. What follows is only told in stories.

After 20 years of alien occupation, the Resistance finally has its trump card: The Commander. But for their plans to work, they need the troops on the field to play their part. Half AAR, half narrative, this will be a retelling and partial re-imagining of XCOM 2's plot, loosely based on a completed playthrough, and through the eyes of a varied cast of soldiers.

A series of short stories based on the original 'Things XCOM Operatives Are No Longer Allowed to Do' list as well as a few other rules thrown in for good measure.

Meeting the parents in a relationship is an awkward, yet necessary milestone for new couples. Will and Iso, in a human-viper relationship, were prepared for the difficulties to come. Nothing could prepare them for the meeting with Will's father, Eric. An honored and successful XCOM soldier from the liberation war.

Months after the defeat of the remnant Sacred Coil, City 31 appears to finally be safe, but what conspiracies bubble beneath the surface? Reclamation Agents Archer and Torque will have to pair with unusual allies in this continuation of the World's Apart canon.

After a nightmare, it's up to Zhang to comfort Geist.

With the Vipers now openly rebelling against Advent, XCOM's fight against Advent seems to have gained momentum. However, as new shadows rise to break the will of the resistance, the Commander himself now finds it difficult to maintain his high confidence and will. With a growing sense of self doubt, can the Commander fight not only Advent, but also to keep his humanity?

Just a little tidbit about what life could be like for some in the still-adjusting City 31.

Humans have wondered if one day they would encounter alien life. One day extraterrestrial activity on Earth spiked. The nations of Earth all came together in one room, the Council of Nations, and created the most elite military and scientific organization in human history, tasked with defending them from the alien attack. It was called the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit or XCOM.

Nilian, an ex-Xcom doctor finds a rather boring and quiet life in the post-ADVENT world, inside the experimental city 31. One day, however, he comes across a particularly attention-grabbing alien reptile, who soon challenges the doctor's lifestyle. Reupload cause of formatting.

A Viper and her Human celebrate New Year's! Light fluff, just something I wanted to write to end 2021!

The story of two, done wrong by the powers of Psionics. Neither of completely sane mind due to the immense power this force wields, though one believes partle control over it, while the other attempts to escape the aftershock. Perhaps they are doomed to fall, maybe there is a place for them in a secluded forest. Either way, the world will not let them go easily.

The world broke in the past thirteen years of Advent occupation; scattered remnants of camps, patrolling Advent units in the wild, groups of scavengers. It is clear to Luis, an ex-military survivor, that the world has truly lost its way. Alas, there is a certain wonder to the experience of consciousness, one that a viper, freshly separated from Advent, will not let go to waste.

A collection of documents, dossiers, and analysis on the various units, factions, organizations, cultures, history, events and leaders spanning the Ethereal Collective, ADVENT and XCOM. A supplementary companion collection to XCOM: The Advent Directive.

A man awakens from stasis in a post-ADVENT world. How will he learn to live in a world that has changed so much? And how will those around him react when they learn that he too is not like other humans...

The Father has stirred in his maddening prison for far too long. Our opportunity has presented itself, and unlike the rest, we shall not fail. Join us, curious reader and Pilgrim! Do you feel Paradise calling to your very soul?

Australia has been annexed, the United Nations is in chaos, the world is under siege and the Ethereals have taken the field. Facing the full might of the Ethereal Collective, the Commander must rally XCOM, the newly formed ADVENT, and several other allies and rivals to unite the divided nations by any means necessary, for failure now will mean the fall of humanity once and for all.

Zhang gets deployed to gather Intelligence from someone in one of the City Centers. His Contact is... somewhat familiar.
