* Status: Ongoing
* Synopsis: Who would you want to control Voltron? A soldier that protects those around them or a power-hungry madman? Follow the Master Chief and his allies as they assemble Voltron to defeat those who threaten the universe.
* Comment: Noble Six pilots Red Lion, Tom-B292 & Lucy-B091 pilots Green Lion, Frederic-104 pilots Blue Lion, Jorge-052 pilots Yellow Lion and Chief pilots Black Lion. Together with Dr. Halsey, Cortana, and other Gen-III Spartans, they fight against the Garla Empire -- but in Spartan style, not the traditional Team Voltron's, to Allura's frustration, despite its effectiveness. However, James Ackerson has gone turncoat against UEG and developed his own Spartan program...

* Synopsis: Everyone's favorite Spartan is looking for a new purpose, lucky for him, the Commander his happy to oblige.
* Now has a TV Tropes Page: ''Fanfic/TheSpartanEffect''
* Comments: An excellent crossover between the Halo and Mass Effect universes and one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. This takes place during the events of Mass Effect 2 and the author does a very good job of integrating Master Chief and Cortana into the Normandy. All of the characters are true to the source materials with few liberties being taken. [=Gatekeeper333=] has also done a great job of making Shepard one of the best written Shepards I have read in a long time by making him very sarcastic with a lot of depth. The author also has a writing style somewhat similar to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the non-action scenes and does a great job with the comedy. The action scenes are all very well written with the exception of the first couple chapters. With the exception of the first couple chapters, this fanfic is amazing in almost every way.
** Seconded: This is hands down the best “Master Chief and Cortana end up in Mass Effect” fic I’ve ever read. I daresay it’s even better than In the Shadow of Gods. The Master Chief’s characterization is on point, as is Cortana’s and the rest of the Normandy crew. There are some issues of course; the Terry Prachett writing style can be rather distracting at times, and personally, I think Master Chief is somewhat quieter than he really should be. But character interactions drive the heart of this story, and the Spartan Effect has enough differences to make up for it, including an excellent portrayal of [[spoiler: Cortana’s rampancy]] and most recently Master Chief’s loyalty mission where [[spoiler: the Normandy crew has to deal with a colony overrun with Flood that had stowed away on the Dawn]].
** Also seconded: An incredibly entertaining read, awesome, humorous, heartwarming, terrifying, dramatic and tearjerking in equal measure, with all characters getting their time to shine, even if the core ensemble of Chief, Cortana, Shepard and Miranda are the ones commonly taking center stage. The author's focus on character interaction and development makes it quite memorable, with everyone possessing a distinct personality and keeping the story arcs fresh. - [=VoidWhisperers=]

** No longer recommending this as it is. The writing is repetitive and droning on, and I disagree with a lot of the author's decisions, from minor stuff such as the unnecessary conflict between UNSC & ONI and adding Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 to the mix, to major things such as giving N'tho 'Sraom & Thomas Lasky the ability to use The Force, the constant Revan & Admiral Hood bashing, and sparing Jyn Erso from her canon fate and make her join the UNSC only to turn her into a FauxActionGirl. Thankfully, the author is currently rewriting the fic.
** Going to disagree on the previous statement. It's an alright fic that has gotten a bit more into shape. I do find it odd adding in BattleStar Galactic but it's not terribly written. That and it does remind us that there are two whole galaxies where things are taking place.

* Now has a TV Tropes Page: ''Fanfic/TheSpartanEffect''
* Comments: An excellent crossover between the Halo and Mass Effect universes and one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. This takes place during the events of Mass Effect 2 and the author does a very good job of integrating Master Chief and Cortana into the Normandy. All of the characters are true to the source materials with few liberties being taken. [=Gatekeeper333=] has also done a great job of making Shepard one of the best written Shepards I have read in a long time by making him very sarcastic with a lot of depth. The author also has a writing style somewhat similar to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
in the fight]]'' by [[https://www.non-action scenes and does a great job with the comedy. The action scenes are all very well written with the exception of the first couple chapters. With the exception of the first couple chapters, this fanfic is amazing in almost every way.
** Seconded: This is hands down the best “Master Chief and Cortana end up in Mass Effect” fic I’ve ever read. I daresay it’s even better than In the Shadow of Gods. The Master Chief’s characterization is on point, as is Cortana’s and the rest of the Normandy crew. There are some issues of course; the Terry Prachett writing style can be rather distracting at times, and personally, I think Master Chief is somewhat quieter than he really should be. But character interactions drive the heart of this story, and the Spartan Effect has enough differences to make up for it, including an excellent portrayal of [[spoiler: Cortana’s rampancy]] and most recently Master Chief’s loyalty mission where [[spoiler: the Normandy crew has to deal with a colony overrun with Flood that had stowed away on the Dawn]].
** Also seconded: An incredibly entertaining read, awesome, humorous, heartwarming, terrifying, dramatic and tearjerking in equal measure, with all characters getting their time to shine, even if the core ensemble of Chief, Cortana, Shepard and Miranda are the ones commonly taking center stage. The author's focus on character interaction and development makes it quite memorable, with everyone possessing a distinct personality and keeping the story arcs fresh. - [=VoidWhisperers=]

** It's got a good story. Though at times the dialogue is awkward, and the grammar and spelling are not perfect, it's still a solid fic. I would recommend this to anybody who wants to see a full-scale UNSC vs. Reaper fight.

Decades later, an Anodite-Human hybrid OC, Eleanor Cross, must return to the organization that betrayed her and her family to stop the Covenant from blowing up the entire fic (so far) managed galaxy in a misguided attempt to keep attain divinity.

* ''Synopsis'': While investigating a wormhole in deep space after the ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'' DLC, Commander Shepard and his jolly Normandy crew come under attack by the Covenant and eventually escape through said wormhole and are escorted to Reach just in time for the events of ''VideoGame/HaloReach''. While trying to assuage a xenophobic AlternateUniverse humanity of his loyalties, the good Commander aids Noble Team in Reach's defense, and learns a great deal of this new galaxy...while trying to save it.
* ''Pairings'': Male!Shepard/Tali.
* Comments: Perhaps an [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative even better Halo/Mass Effect crossover]] than The Last Spartan (listed above). Both the Halo and Mass Effect cast are in character, and despite the latter being the more developed of the two, play rather nicely off the former. Tensions are always high due to Halo!Humanity's understandable xenophobia towards aliens, ONI constantly trying to subvert Shepard's authority and get the secrets of his universe's tech, and Legion's interactions with Noble Six as it tries to understand organics more. The action sequences are very tightly done, and do not feel rushed or slow. Overall a very solid and addictive read.
** I read this fic twice. The first time through was engrossing; the second, unbearable. The fight scenes which had seemed detailed and riveting now dragged, hampered by their own weight. The grammar and spelling issues, which I hadn't noticed before, were so obtrusive that after a while, the fic was simply unreadable.
