The overall theme of SoD is, "becoming more than what fate shaped you to be". Frieza's fate takes a different path as he tries to come to terms with being spared by his hated enemy.

During Vegeta's last stand against Frieza, the Prince of Saiyans ascends, becoming the first Super Saiyan of his era. History has been re-written...but to what degree? Edited by Davidstarlingm (Co-author).

In a twist of fate, Bardock is transported into the future to the day his sons had their fateful encounter. Given a second chance at life, the psychic Saiyan warrior is faced with a moral dilemma: can he become the father for Kakarot that he never was and help the Earth's Special Forces battle deadly incoming threats to the universe, or is he too far gone to do any real good?

Five long years of peace has followed the end of the Dragon Ball Z era. However, darkness oozes out from the cracks when an old enemy awakens ancient and almighty jewels that threaten the cosmos and force our heroes into action.

Majin Buu was completely destroyed by the Genki Dama. As a result, one of the sacred world's darkest secrets was disturbed, allowing a long forgotten evil to rise once again... A direct sequel to Dragon Ball Z taking place 14 years after the battle with Majin Buu. (Note: This was written prior to the announcement of 'Battle of the Gods' and does NOT include it as canon.)

Raditz finds himself outmatched when he comes to earth, due to a change in Goku's final battle against Piccolo five years earlier. Can Raditz find it within himself to become a hero alongside his brother, and rise to face Frieza, the androids, and more? Thanks to Nassif9000 for providing the cover image! Now with a TV Tropes page. (Yes, I regret 'Bills'. Super wasn't out yet okay)

Dr. Gero has long since passed, but his legacy lives on. With his creator gone and nothing left to stand in his way, how will the dreaded Android 1 adapt to this new world?

Due to a change in Bardock's final stand, Kakarot's spaceship forsakes its original destination and indirectly leaves the Earth without its intended savior. Fate and chance had aligned during his exodus, however, leaving him to the Namekians to be raised as one of their own. Both Namek and Earth must now walk down diverging roads - one with and one without a destined hero.

Life can change, sometimes in an instant. For Son Goku, this phrase never rang truer when his memories were erased with a blow to the skull and he was abducted into the stars by his elder brother. Of course, Goku's past life wouldn't just crumble away; he had a young son named Gohan, who dedicated his life to bringing his father home.

Sometimes life can be unpredictable. Son Goku, the legendary hero of his time, understood these words well during the fateful encounter with the monster, Kid Buu. After sacrificing his life for the universe and being unable to be wished back, the responsibility of protecting the Earth and raising the evil reincarnated ten years later is placed on Vegeta.
