After years of fighting and personal loss, Scott Hollan is an exhausted soldier in charge of one of the last commando squads the Coalition of Ordered Governments has, Sigma-Two. Ephyra has just fallen to the Locust Horde and hundreds of civilians are dead, his wife among them. Now he must figure out how to be a single father and soldier trying to prevent the extinction of the human race. 

Sigma-Two is sent to the Northbay Birthing Creche by Chairman Prescott for a brief reprieve from months of frontline duty following a failed push to retake Ephyra's southern quadrant from the Locust. While there Scott meets a woman in dire circumstances of her own and now with time to actually sit and catch his breath, bad memories from Emergence Day come back to him all while he and his fellow Gears have to deal with the abusive security force of the Northbay Creche.  

Mostly OCs with a few canon characters making appearances throughout. This story is going to try to stay as close to the canon of the games/novels as possible.

The Arena Saga: Bronze Tier by InsanelyCorrupted
9 parts Ongoing Mature
The High Tower infected Earth's population and only those strong enough to survive the conversion from human to nano-human sapiens were allowed to continue living on the ground level as Bottom Feeders. Over half the world's population fell to the new world order. Zaphrina is a Nomad Healer in the Golden Arena. Not having the restrictions of a guild has its perks and pays better. Surviving alone in a world where everyone is trying to live forever is easier with the laws of Guilds and Zaph has survived since humanity fell to the High Tower over two centuries ago without joining the halls. The rules of the Bottom Feeders are easy. You either survive by taking refuge in the Guild Halls or you level up enough to be able to survive the conditions of floor levels. Zaph has it easy for the most part. Her older brother Max has been looking out for her since their conversion. Their parents didn't survive the change. Max is one of the newest but deadliest Guild Masters in the Arenas and often contracts Zaph to help in battles. He's begged her for years to join his guild, but she's never wanted to be part of them. She likes her peace and prefers to be alone than surrounded by those who would see her dead if the opportunity arose. Zaph's peace comes to an end when her brother reveals that former members of his guild had fallen victim to the recent murders in NeoGlover City and their son was left orphaned. Cody, the eleven-year-old second-generation nano-humanoid child, stands to inherit a vast territory that could make any guild the most powerful in the NeoGlover sector. Friends turn foes when the guilds find out that this kid has one of the most valuable accounts she's ever seen. To save Cody, Zaph is forced to solve the twelve recent murders in the city that will grant her an audience with the High Tower council who will remove the territories and return them to the city in exchange for Cody's adult-level updates.

Voltron and OC AU called Crystal Faith. Everything seems to be going just fine in Shiro's life. He's a senior officer at the Galaxy Garrison (Crystal Core) along with his fiancé Adam and his daughter just enrolled as a cadet. But he keeps having nightmares and it's starting to mess with him. There's a battle with the Galra on Earth that leaves everyone shaken, but leaves Shiro in worse conditions than before. (Voltron is not necessarily a part of this story.) None of the art is mine. I will alert you if any of the art is. (Shiro is a winged lion, Adam is human, Pidge is half Altean, and half Galren, Holly is a weird, human thing with wings, Iantha is a catfolk, Lance is human, Luna is a werewolf, Percy is human, Keith is half galra, Krolia is a full Galra and that's about it.) (Krolia is NOT Keith's mother in this AU, Pidge is Shiro's adopted daughter, Adam doesn't die, and Holly, Iantha, Percy and Luna are NOT my OCs. They belong to a very good friend of mine.) (There will be Adashi/Shadam and Klance. NO SMUT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE I CAN BARELY READ IT, LET ALONE WRITE ABOUT THAT.) Crystal Bearers are protecters of the universe and all that magical stuff. A crystal fuses itself to a person, giving them the powers of that crystal and the ability to fuse with other Crystal Bearers. (Cool right? My friend made this all up, none of this was my idea, so you can say a big thank you to her for making this happen.) So the spiral light at the center of the universe was shattered into 9 shards and the universe has been in chaos ever since. Because the spiral light shattered, the Crystal Core was formed, and the Galra have been invading peaceful planets to them more power for the empire, and all that stuff. So Crystal Bearers are sent out on missions, freeing captured planets, freeing prisoners, recruiting new Crystal Cadets, stopping space piracy and other junk like that. I don't want to spoil anything else, so you have to read the book to find out what happens!
