Specialist Samantha Traynor, one of the Alliance's best and brightest, was relatively content working in Alliance R&D. But then... the Reapers came. Full of action, profanity, sarcasm, friendship, and gripping chess matches that will leave you breathless. Ch 31: Sam suffers through PT but creates a better way to have deeper conversations with Shepard.

Remnant was on the cusp of a revolution. Human-Faunus relationships have steadily improved over the years thanks to the tireless efforts of the newly reformed Schnee Dust Company. With peace finally within arm's reach, a grim shadow looms over the four kingdoms biding its time. (WhiteRose and BumbleBee)

Ren and Fishbone76 put their heads together to give you this drabble of the ultimate chess match between Samantha Traynor and Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy. The Bird's Opening is the 6th most popular opening and is a very aggressive chess move. Cover image by Fishbone76 (check out her DeviantArt gallery for the full image!)

An in-depth STG report about the Illusive Man, Jack Harper. Set just after the Butcher is revealed as Shepard at Ilium in TWCD. Covers history, tactics, and awesomeness. Part of my Mass Effect AU, not canon compliant. Nothing particular ugly in here. Co-authored by Aberron.

In a gaslamp-fantasy Victorian era shaped by the discovery of Dust, two women's lives take on a collision course. Blake Belladonna, searching for her future, and Weiss Schnee, learning the meaning of her past, may find that each other holds the key to finding what truth exists within their web of duty, honor, and pride.

Centuries after the end of the Reaper War, Liara T'Soni has long since retired into the quiet of private life. Yet when new threats rise to threaten the galaxy's long peace, she is forced to fight once more. Can she and a new generation of allies win yet another desperate war? Final novel in the Memoirs continuity.

It's the beginning of a new age for you, isn't it? You sit upon a throne of bone and offal with a golden scepter in one hand and a sword in the other. You seek to rein in this world, to tame it like a wild beast. Will your reign bring about the peace you've longed for so desperately? Or will it rain once more, of blood and tears and bullets? Book Three of the Dissonance Trilogy.

Qrow wasn't planning on sobering up, but one thing led to another. To make matters worse, he's been assigned a partner for his next mission. (Canon-compliant up until "PvP"; cross-posted to AO3.) White Rose; a few teases for Qrowin/Night's Watch.

"One more, for science." (Michiru/Haruka, mature)

Finding herself devoid of employment after the events of Volume 2, Neo decides that she will change her ways, and enrol at Beacon Academy. The enrolling part, easy. The other... well, one out of two isn't bad, right?

The consequences of the mission to Mountain Glenn stretch far beyond the civilian casualties in Vale. The collective failure has taken its toll on all the members of team RWBY and with the tournament fast approaching and Cinder still at large, they have no time to wallow in their misery. Book One of the Dissonance Trilogy.

A sort of Pre-Verse AU. What would happen if the RWBY characters were born a couple of decades before the present? Like, for example, during the beginnings of the Faunus War. I'm going to be playing around with the relationships, romantic and otherwise. The main pairing is Monochrome. There was Yang/Velvet but endgame will probably be Baked Alaska?

Ruby is having trouble finding a present for her girlfriend.

Weiss is the heiress to Schnee Oil Company. She is forced onto a flight to London by her father. What's the worst thing? She has to take economy. It is a hellish place back there. Screaming children, crying babies, trash lying everywhere, terrible food and ridiculously long lines for the restroom. It has it all. INCLUDING a black haired flight attendant. (WhiteRose - ModernPlaneAU)

It wasn't that Weiss was totally unhappy with her team. After all, she had the famous Pyrrha Nikos fighting alongside her, and Ruby seemed to have more than a fair amount of combat skill. It was just that Team JPWR would be much more efficient, had Ruby not been made leader, and a certain Jaune Arc was absent from the team. That was just her opinion, of course.

Torchwick is commissioned by Junior to pull off a certain heist in the midst of the holiday season. Being evil and nefarious, Torchwick accepts with Neo in tow to make a big payday. For the /r/RWBY Monthly Fanfiction Contest: December.

If you want to wound the dragon, take away one of his claws. While out on a tour of the empire, Emperor Ling's camp is attacked.

Yang is a regular contender in the illegal fights that happen in Junior's club. She's in need of the money, but trouble starts when a dark haired girl that seems to be a serious rival shows up. (rating may be subject to change)

Beacon Academy, a school for Huntsmen and Huntresses to learn to do battle with the darkest forces in all the world. It is a place filled with stories of adventure and horror, sorrow and hope, deep and meaningful tales that explore the human condition. These are not those stories. These are any silly, stupid drabbles that come to my twisted mind. But hey, it's something.

After Shepard is killed, Liara is left alone. She knows the galaxy is in danger, but what can one former archaeologist do against the threat of the Reapers? Maybe nothing, but Shepard's lover has learned not to give up too easily. Science fiction, adventure, intrigue, and a dash of romance.

The Schnee Dust Company has just unleashed its latest weapon in the public relations battle. It's a pity that nobody told Weiss about it.

The thefts of the Phantom Gentleman, Roman Torchwick fill the papers of 1889 London. But when one of his crimes goes too far, he'll find that even the brightest gold can be unwanted when it burns for revenge! Set in the same steampunk AU as "Belladonna Lilies."

::Agents of Beacon AU:: Nora Valkyrie, guardian of Lie Ren's soul, has traumatically realized that her beloved charge has no children to carry on his bloodline after his inevitable heroic death. Thank Odin that Nora is here to use her incredible powers of thinking and solve this problem just the best way she knows how. Pray for us all.

Beacon Agent Weiss Schnee already doesn't like that when one of her own kind goes berserk, the one who ends up dealing with it is invariably her. She likes it even less when her sorta-crush/sorta-enemy Yang Xiao Long is sent with her to help out. And when things go horribly wrong, well, she likes that least of all... ::Agents of Beacon AU, Freezerburn, post-Embers, one-shot::

Denial isn't a good way to handle intense sexual frustration.

Kyle Reese has traveled backwards in time, not to save Sarah Connor, but to help her rewrite the faulty utility function of Skynet. Together, it's possible that they might avert Judgment Day and save the world from nuclear Armageddon - and hopefully create a utopia ruled over by an AI god in the process. Fully completed. Diverges wildly from canon.

Decades after the Reaper War, Liara is traveling aboard a passenger liner when she meets someone very unusual. Is this a simple encounter with an unexpected admirer, or is something more sinister going on? Part of the Memoirs continuity.

The mission must be completed at any cost. Kensuke knows that. He is a soldier.

Third Impact AU. Shinji Ikari survives Third Impact only to find out that the end of everything is just the beginning...

A simple game of chance changes the lives of not only the command staff but everybody they interact with

A small glimpse into the life of those outside of Commander Shepard's story; based on the interactions of two NPCs in Illium.

"Oh my, what a lovely picture," Michiru observed as Usagi and Minako's skirts flipped over their heads. "I really must talk with you more often, Prince." Michiru-/-Mamoru, Hakura/Michiru, Mamoru/Usagi

Chaos returns to Roanapur as the Triads and Hotel Moscow start their inevitable war. Old alliances clash with new ones, and the only person who can save them all is pressing out his collared shirt by the bed. Revy and Rock. Chang and Balalaika.

While the Commander is away, the quarian will play. But what does a certain salarian have to say on the subject? TalixShepard

AU. After Third Impact, Gendo Ikari gets his own chance to go back and change things for the better. But things do not go as planned this time around, either.

Neon Genesis Evangelion romance/drama with Groundhog Day elements and a little humor thrown in. SxR. The pilots find themselves caught in a time-loop, and as things grow ever stranger, will they be able to figure out what's happening without going insane?
