Summary
It has been over two hundred years since the bombs fell.
It has been seven years since the NCR (New California Republic) - a burgeoning post-war state - found the miracuously-restored city of Vegas, and signed a treaty with its enigmatic overseer, Mr. House.
It has been four years since the NCR fought and bled to defend Hoover Dam - an old-world trove of clean water and electricity - against the slave armies of Ceasar's Legion. It has also been four years since the Divide - a young community on the California State Route 127 - was destroyed in a cataclysm so drastic that the entire area was transformed into a storm-filled hell on Earth.
The year is 2281. The NCR spreads out from the west; the Legion pierces the region from their stronghold across the Colorado river; House maintains a steel grip on the city of New Vegas. After a long stalemate, war is once again brewing over the awesome power of Hoover Dam. Mysterious radio signals clog the airwaves. The Mojave Desert stands on a precipice.
And now, in the graveyard of a modest little frontier town, a package courier has just been shot in the head and left for dead by a man in a checkered coat.
(Or: a novelisation of Fallout: New Vegas.)

Summary
Squirrelpaw doesn't know what to do. Cats are dying, the forest is being torn apart around her, and her sister has just told her that, according to a prophecy from their warrior ancestors, she and her best friend will lead ThunderClan to destruction. In short: everything seems to be going wrong all at once.
And then, in her dreams, she receives a message from StarClan directly. A warning about one last, impossible, twist of fate.
In another time, Firepaw the apprentice has just become Fireheart, warrior of ThunderClan, and is ready to defend his adopted clan from any threat - be it rogues, enemy warriors, or even their own scheming deputy. On the night of his vigil, he isn't sure what to expect, but it definitely isn't the mysterious cat who emerges from the forest.
The cat who claims to be his daughter.
(Or: Squirrelpaw, through worldly machinations unknown, is sent back in time to when her father was a young warrior, her mother was still an apprentice, and the dreaded Tigerclaw still stalked the forest.
This can only go so well.)

Summary
Sing, o muse, of the guile of Athena, bright-eyed, triple-born, winner of the game,
sing of the wrath of Zeus, warlike, king of the Gods, of the flashing bolt, keeper of oaths,
and sing of Odysseus, shifty, man of many ways and of many sorrows; keeper of bright-eyed Athena.

Athena played Zeus' game and won. But the king of the Gods doesn't take kindly to losing. While it's true that Goddesses can't die, that doesn't mean they can't suffer. And Zeus has a far more creative punishment in mind than simple lightning bolts.On Ogygia, Odysseus has just been told that he is free to leave. But in this version of the story, Hermes delivers more than a message to the king of Ithaca - he delivers a woman. A mortal woman, bound to Odysseus, forced to join him in his desparate quest to return home.
(Or: after the events of 'God Games', Zeus strips Athena of her immortality, and sticks her with that mortal she's apparently become so attached to.)

Summary
The isfet are the single greatest threat to human life in the Erde system, as well as it's greatest mystery. All anyone knows about them is that they're monsters; that their existence defies every natural and physical law, and that they exist to kill every last human.
For Aaron Wilder, a freshly-trained solider in the Bulwark - humanity's defence against the isfet - the future seems simple. He's going to raise his kid sister, he's going to support his partner as she rises through the Bulwark's ranks, and he's going to fight to keep people safe. But one day, after getting himself injured in the most un-heroic of circumstances, things change. All of a sudden, he can create and control the same unnatural substance that the isfet are made of. He starts to bleed oil and mist. And there's an ever-growing part of him that wants, more than anything else, to utterly obliterate anything that stands in his way.
As he struggles to keep his new abilities under wraps, Aaron is caught up in a sinister plot by higher powers that threatens the futures of not just him and his loved ones, but every person living in the system. Though he may bear the colours of the enemy (so to speak), one thing is clear: he's humanity's only hope.

My original fiction series! Technically in development since 2015 - spent a few years technically existing as fanfiction for the Lego MMOG, 'Lego Universe', before officially becoming its own thing, which is how I justify uploading it all to AO3 xD
The series is set in a solar system under attack from a mysterious chaotic entity, and follows the adventures of a quasi-superhero team called Pandemonium's Bane; a group of young misfits who find each other and then save the world.

Summary
Garrus and Shepard never talked about what would happen between them if they survived the Collector Base. And yet here they find themselves, alive and rather unsure of how to proceed.
Against the backdrop of the DLC content of Mass Effect 2, Garrus Vakarian and Andrea Shepard attempt to plan for a future they never thought they'd see, even while haunted by the pasts they'd tried to leave behind.
So much stands in the way: rank, duty, family, and more than a few scars. What chance does this casual cross-species liaison have in the face of such opposition?
(This is a sequel to "Practice," but can be read as a stand-alone.)
