When a rogue Covenant fleet, led by the fanatical Prophet Ral'Koth, inadvertently stumbles into the Expanse universe, humanity finds itself on the brink of a war it never anticipated. Armed with powerful alien technology and a religious zealotry that borders on madness, the Covenant begin their invasion of the Solar System, attacking Mars and threatening Earth's very existence.

The crew of the Rocinante-Captain James Holden and his diverse crew-become humanity's first line of defense after a failed mission to infiltrate a Covenant ship. With the Covenant forces adapting to humanity's defenses and devastating Mars' fleet, the fragile alliances between Earth, Mars, and the Belt are tested like never before.

United by the threat of extinction, the factions of humanity must work together to decipher the Covenant's technologies and weapons while navigating complex political divides. As Covenant forces advance, it's up to Avasarala, Holden, and an unlikely coalition of Earth's leaders, Martians, and Belters to strategize a defense against a technologically superior enemy that will stop at nothing to annihilate humanity.

This epic crossover between Halo and The Expanse explores humanity's resilience in the face of an alien force far beyond anything they've encountered, testing the limits of their unity and pushing them into a fight for their very survival.

Halo 4 Reclamation - Alternate Universe Halo Story  by Chris9417
16 parts Complete
In an alternate universe of Halo, the Master Chief and Cortana arrive on Earth after their harrowing journey through the stars, but with a dark twist-Cortana is rapidly succumbing to Rampancy. In a desperate bid to save her, the Chief seeks out Dr. Halsey, the brilliant scientist who created her, only to discover that the only way to preserve Cortana's consciousness is to upload her into a human host. The process will "kill" the human's mind, leaving Cortana as the sole occupant of the body, effectively replacing them. In a shocking turn, Dr. Halsey volunteers herself, offering up her own life to save the AI that has become so much more than just a tool. Halsey undergoes the procedure, and what emerges is a new, human version of Cortana-still carrying the brilliance and tactical genius of the AI, but now trapped in a fragile human form. With ONI breathing down their necks and the UNSC labeling them as fugitives, Chief and Cortana (now Halsey) are forced into a high-stakes escape. Together, they must navigate treacherous waters, relying on the very skills and knowledge that made them the ultimate weapons of war. As they flee to the fringes of the galaxy, they set up a hidden outpost where Cortana/Halsey begins to harness both human and AI strengths to outwit their enemies. With new alliances and strategies at their disposal, they must take the fight to ONI, knowing that the path forward could alter the future of humanity-and their own survival-forever. This is a story of sacrifice, survival, and a relentless fight for freedom against the very forces that created them.

In this thrilling Battlestar Galactica and Gears of War crossover, the survivors of the Twelve Colonies, led by the resolute Admiral Helena Cain aboard the Pegasus, find themselves fighting not only the ever-present threat of the Cylons but also an even darker, more enigmatic force. When Cain orders a desperate, random FTL jump, the crew of the Pegasus emerges not in a Cylon stronghold, but on a war-torn planet-Sera. The planet is ravaged by its own war, plagued by the monstrous Locust Horde and a looming enemy known only as the Architect. As Cain and her crew struggle to survive in this foreign battlefield, they discover that the Architect's mechanized army, far more advanced and ruthless than any Cylon threat, has begun to merge with the very fabric of Sera. On the ground, Marcus Fenix and his squad of COG soldiers fight tooth and nail against the Locust while also facing the terrifying influence of the Architect. With an energy field that blocks their every move and a towering, near-invincible warlord leading the charge, the COG soldiers are pushed to the brink. With time running out, the Pegasus crew and the COG soldiers must form an uneasy alliance to take down the Architect's insidious control over Sera and the galaxy. In a series of heart-pounding battles both in space and on the planet's ravaged surface, Cain leads a final assault on the Architect's warship while Marcus and his team navigate the chaos below to dismantle the source of its power. The stakes are higher than ever as both humanity's fight for survival and the fate of Sera hang in the balance. Will they win, or will the Architect's terrifying empire crush them all? This crossover story blends the grim intensity of Battlestar Galactica's struggle for humanity's survival with the brutal, unrelenting combat of Gears of War, bringing together iconic characters and epic warfare in a universe on the brink of extinction.

The Kaleidoscope Effect

12 parts Complete

When astronaut Nova Vance crash-lands on an uncharted planet, she finds herself thrust into an alien world unlike anything humanity has ever encountered. The planet's surface shimmers with impossible colors, its atmosphere teeming with energy that defies explanation. But the deeper mystery lies within Nova herself. As soon as she awakens, her perceptions begin to unravel. Vivid hallucinations blur the line between reality and imagination, and the planet seems to respond to her presence, its strange environment shifting and coming alive in ways she cannot comprehend. When a telepathic alien guide emerges, offering cryptic insights into the planet's collective consciousness, Nova must decide whether to trust the alien-or her own fractured mind. Is the planet trying to communicate? Or is she losing her grip on reality, the victim of an otherworldly neurochemical influence? In a journey that defies logic and bends time, Nova ventures deeper into the planet's mysteries, confronting her own fears, memories, and the nature of existence itself. By the time she returns to orbit, one question will remain: was any of it real? A mind-bending tale of survival and first contact, The Kaleidoscope Effect explores the boundaries of perception, the nature of consciousness, and the infinite possibilities of the unknown.
