Firstcontact Stories

When the UNSC Spirit of Fire drifts through a localized Slipspace rupture, Captain James Cutter and the legendary Spartans of Red Team expect to wake up in a galaxy at war with the Covenant. Instead, they find themselves orbiting a silent, scarred Earth-two centuries after a nuclear apocalypse. In this epic crossover, the high-tech precision of the 26th-century UNSC collides with the brutal, lawless reality of the Fallout universe. From the irradiated ruins of the Capital Wasteland to the neon-soaked sands of the Mojave, Jerome-092 and his team must navigate shifting alliances with the Brotherhood of Steel, the NCR, and the mysterious Institute. But as the "Star-Fallen Angels" begin to heal the planet with terraforming technology, they awaken a threat far greater than Raiders or Super Mutants: an ancient, automated defense system and a ghost from their own future. Can a ship from the stars save a world that has already ended? Or will the Spirit of Fire become just another relic in the graveyard of history?

Empire of Stars is a sweeping space-opera epic that follows former soldier and disgraced movie star John Drayton after humanity's first contact with an ancient alien gateway-the Meridian Gate-catapults Earth into a brutal interstellar war. Elevated to the role of Arbiter, John commands the warship Hemingway as he navigates galaxy-spanning politics, devastating battles, and the terrifying emergence of the Hyperions: godlike beings who manipulate entire species as weapons. As worlds fall, secrets surface, and the line between heroism and exploitation blurs, John must reconcile his past, his hunger for meaning, and the crushing cost of leadership while racing to stop a calculated extinction that has been centuries in the making.

Across the cold distances between stars, humanity spreads through the galaxy as the Sons of Supreme, warrior pilgrims in cathedral ships who believe God made them in His image and gave them the universe as their inheritance. Alien species watch in horror as these faithful conquerors advance not with weapons alone, but with hymns that shatter minds and certainty that burns away doubt like fire. From the perspective of beings made of questions, memory, and fear, humanity is not just dangerous but spiritually overwhelming, creatures whose absolute belief in their divine purpose makes them unstoppable. As humans claim system after system, the aliens must face a terrifying truth: they are not fighting an empire or an invasion, but a species that believes it is simply coming home to what was always meant to be theirs. In the darkness between worlds, the galaxy learns to fear not the weapons of mankind, but the hymns they sing while advancing toward their inheritance.

Ace Trakker is an alien bounty hunter... who also happens to be an alien. Does Ace have any issues with hunting his own kind? Not really, considering most of them are deranged and view humans as nothing more than a culinary delight. Plus, Ace is the reason they're free on Earth in the first place. Ace wasn't raised to have morals. Quite the opposite actually. Hanging out with humans for the last 60 years has twisted his mind. Now he actually... cares. Eww. Haunted by the overwhelming sense to make things right, Ace embarks on a journey to recapture all of the escapees from Area 51. When he encounters a species long thought extinct, he stumbles into a mystery that may involve members from his own home world. With the help of a few extraterrestrial and human friends, Ace will do his best to protect Earth. Hopefully the boneheads at the Men in Bla... correction... the Alien Investigation Bureau (they rebranded) won't get in the way so Ace can collect a decent paycheck for his troubles.

She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. Set in a fractured galactic empire after interstellar war, this is a long-form space opera exploring transhumanism, faith, and power across multiple confirmed realities. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.

9th intallment of the Folician Chronicles. The Folician's have decided it is time to come back to Earth. It's been close to 25 years since they left after the previous visit. How will this visit go?

This is an #HFY story celebrating humanity's restraint, memory, and quiet authority. If you enjoy ancient human legends, humbled aliens, and the idea that kindness can be more terrifying than cruelty, you're in the right place.

But prejudice simmers among her classmates, who view her as a brute from a barbaric rock. As tensions boil into open conflict, an external pirate attack threatens to destroy the academy. In the chaos, Amelia suffers a near-fatal wound that should end her-but humanity's unyielding resilience turns the tide. This #HFY tale celebrates the indomitable spirit of Earthlings in a galaxy that underestimates them.

Content Notes: Mass casualty event (off-page), grief, threats of planetary-scale destruction, political intimidation, moral conflict. A year ago, the Council learned a humiliating truth: humans weren't weak, just restrained. So one species decides to test the limits. They erase a human colony from orbit, call it "containment," and wait for the Council to bury it in procedure. The Council does nothing. Humanity answers by waking a project no one was supposed to finish. Project Stellar Converter: a device built for one purpose. Turn a sun into a nova. The Council wanted humans to know their place. Now the galaxy has to decide what it means when the newest members stop asking permission. And yes I admit it, I recycled names etc. from numerous other #HFY & #HaSO stories.

The skies of Ignis Prime are fading, but a new spark has just fallen from the stars. When the Great Rift thins the air of her home, a curious indigo dragon named Veyra rescues the one thing her kind fears most: a human. But the boy, Kael, isn't an enemy-he's a friend from an ancient era, carrying a pendant that proves their species once soared together. To save the dragons' future, they must build the impossible: the Ecliptor, a living starship grown from shimmering scales and powered by a dragon's heartfire. It's a race across the galaxy to find a new home, proving that when two worlds unite, hope can never be extinguished.

NOTE: the first couple of chapters will be based on the alternate introduction of Frostpunk's humanity into the world of Mass Effect, through codex entries and stories. After that, we will get into the start of Shepard's high-stakes adventures. 1887. The world as we knew it froze over into a new ice age. Fortunately, the survivors from the British Empire migrated to generator-powered cities fueled by the power of steam technology. The Great Storm tested their survivability, and for the past eight years, all had gone well for the remaining cities of humanity. 1895. Elsewhere in the galaxy, the Quarians have evacuated their homeworld of Rannoch following the Geth Wars, prompting the Citadel to send reinforcements. While the battle goes well, one of the Quarian ships gets boarded by the enemy, and the ensuing chaos that follows results in the ship reaching the Mass Relay towards the Sol Cluster. What follows is a survival-hardened civilization dragged into the mess of galactic politics and eventual conflicts between several factions. This story is not yet rated, and Wattpad has the absolute authority to change it.

At that moment something clicked in my head. Here are my children sitting with aliens from another place, and doing so as if it were an everyday occurrence. No fear, no xenophobia, just friends. Of course there's always a dark side.

The IllusionWings have lived in magical isolation for thousands of years, and with no record of the Scorching, it's the one place humans can be equals. But when that isolation ends and Pyrrhia, in it's ignorance, casually commits the worst atrocity they can imagine, the most peaceful place on the planet fills with the most vengeance. Pyrrhia has oppressed humanity since forever, but not every 'tribe' have arrogantly discarded the potentials of cooperation. A passionate archery genius and a young dragon may be the only ones able to unify it - and a group of dragonets happen to be the best option. But, an atrocity always leads to hate, a history of atrocities is the fuel, and forgiveness is a lie. A war can be stopped, but what must be done to control a raging inferno of justice?
