    Summary

    They stand apart from humans as heroes, saviors, and gods among men. But when we stand in the shadows of gods, we fail to see the cost to them. Sometimes the only one that can understand the weight of the universe is someone else who bears it.

    After the end of Halo 3, the Master Chief - soldier, Spartan, saviour - is flung into the Mass Effect universe where he is discovered by Abigail Shepard, legendary Spectre and hero of humanity. A meeting of absolute cosmic impossibility within a chain of events that will threaten both of their universes.

    Along the way three venerated gods will be forced to tackle the concept of 'being human'.

    Cynthia probably shouldn't tell this man that she's from the future.

    "I'm from the future," Cynthia says.


    Or: local history/mythology nerd (among other things) ends up in Hisui. Surely nothing can go wrong with this.

    Summary

    Percy may be 13, with two quests under his belt and a god for a parent, but he should really start getting paid for putting up with all of the divine-driven problems he has encountered, such as this: a sopping wet man crying on the beach

    Summary

    Many have said that Yui Kodai was cold and emotionless, that she never reacts to anything around her.
    In a way, that wasn't her fault. She sees the world just a little differently than everyone else.
    But even she could see when a boy her age had become overwhelmed by grief and sadness.

    Someone who was truly emotionless would have been turned away by the stench of sewer sludge coming from the boy.
    Yui was not. She made the choice to approach that poor boy and redirect his fate.

    Finding someone who cared so deeply for other people that he could easily read what subtle emotions Yui did have?
    Well, that was just a bonus.

    AKA

    Yui @ Izuku: You're my friend now. We're having soft tacos later :>

    Summary

    Kirigaya Keiko was a fairly normal teenage girl, smarter than her classmates, a bit short tempered when she had to deal with concentrated idiocy, but for the most part, normal. The problem was her passion for gaming, and the desire to avoid all stereotypes involved with being a female gamer. So she always hid behind her male avatar Kirito, that is until SAO...thanks much Kayaba...
