"I am responsible for myself and my actions; I shall conduct myself honorably, and live a clean and frugal life. I have responsibilities to my fellow citizens."

Aunque su cuerpo lo traicione. Aunque la guerra lo devore. Debe decidir hasta dónde está dispuesto a llegar... cuánto de sí mismo sacrificará por el mañana de ella

A Veteran talks about the background of the Locust War... (Wrote this to get back into writing. it's been a while so I am a bit rusty. I know I skip over Gears of War, but as the start of the series I find it the most accessible, the lore of the later games can sometimes feel skipped over thanks to the addition of the novels, just wanted to make it feel more accessible)

"I am responsible for myself and my actions; I shall conduct myself honorably, and live a clean and frugal life. I have responsibilities to my fellow citizens."

After the Locust War ended, Baird continued his search for Sofia, his former Kilo Squad spite her trail having gone cold. Even 24 years later, Baird hasn't given up and has made a personal vow to bring her home someday

Oneshot: "And now we go and do it all over again. Another pointless battle. Another bereaved family. Another year of war. And the UIR does exactly the same."

To Mountain Squad? This was just another day... In hell... And they had been in this hell before. Rated T for violence, death, and profanity.

Marcus living the life of a dream. Peace. A wife named Anya. A family built from brotherhood. Baird with his own family. Dom returning to his own. Cole gaining back what he lost. Locust and Humanity living with a truce. What's the worst that could happen.

Outsider villages are going silent, people are vanishing without any sign of a struggle. It's down to Sullivan Ward and the headstrong Aliana Wilks as they track the whereabouts of the missing villagers and how it links to Sullivan's missing memory. Along the way, they come in with some bizarre creatures that lead them to believe that the Locust may not entirely be extinct.

Elizabeth Carmine grew up on the stories of her heroic uncles and father- inspired by them to follow into the military. Now as a proficient driver and mechanic in the COG army, her fortitude and bravery are put to the test when the Swarm rises from below and will forge her into the Gear she knew she was born to be. Rated T: Violence, swearing and horror. (this may be changed later)

Dom Santiago lost everything in the war against the locust. Fifteen years later his daughter, Sylvia Santiago, emerges under a new name. Will they recognize each other? And, more importantly, will they forgive each other?

Marcus overhears a conversation between Sam and Anya. Forcing Marcus and Anya to have a conversation that has been put off for to long. Spoilers for Gear 2,3, Aspho field and Jacinto's Remnants by Karen Traviss. Warning: Depression and Dark Thoughts due to Loss of a love one.

A one-shot Christmas present for readers of Half Dead: post-GOW3, Baird starts a family.

Poem: "Humans are no strangers to war. After all, we've been fighting as long as we can . War is all we know."

Oneshot: There were those who said that chess was analogous to war, and once, that might have been true. But against the Locust? The Swarm? Not so much.

(idiomatic) To find harmony or strike a balance between conflicting forces, interests, ect.) Three times Baird avoided his needle phobia. One time he couldn't.

Before the onset of the Swarm, humanity slowly rebuilds after seventeen years of war. Delta begins to adjust to this newfound peace - but there's a whole lifetime in twenty-five years.

Glor had never questioned his fate to the horde. But the more he fought Humans? The more he questioned his loyalty to the Horde... Till he was forced to lead his brethren against the horde. Rated T for violence, death, and profanity.

Oneshot: When you're dwelling in the ruins of your civilization, after losing your best friend, videogames can provide quite a good coping mechanism.

They say time heals all things, but time can also distract, entomb, and shroud. Something deep beneath the Vasgar capital has awoken and it's calling out, eager to be found. The source is a mystery, but Delta is determined to find it before the Swarm and its Queen do. Set after Gears 5.

As Dom heads to his fate he realizes something... Tai was right.

'Kait was never good at grieving' Some months after the events at the end of Gears 5, strange things begin happening to Kait again, but this time it's not the swarm's doing. An unknown voice calls out to her, revealing that Nile's influence didn't end when she left Mount Kadar. Now it's not just her who needs help to get away from the swarm's sinister control.

"In their world, where monsters dwelt and loss was guaranteed, love was the only word to use when describing a relationship in which you were ready to die for another human being. And he'd been ready to die for Sam since day one." (Post Gears of War 3)

This is my AU story based on the ending of Gears Of War 4. I will try to make it part of the time line as best as I can and am able to. And no, I am not trying to make it any different from the ending of the game. But, it did leave room for interpretation. If there' going to be issues, please pm me and ask me about a chapter without saying I am straying from the path please? Thanks
