* ''Remarks:'' An absolute door stopper clocking in at 670k at time of writing, Acyl does a great job of fleshing out the story of Erin Larkin and the Tigers. Some of the biggest strengths of this story is how well the supporting cast is written which really allows for the story to come to life. In addition, Acyl has a very good understanding of the Battletech universe which makes this a great Battletech CYOA.

* ''Synopsis'': AU crossover. After surviving a near-fatal heart attack and handling both the Clan invasion and Capellan Confederation, Hanse Davion has decided to give his son Victor some political experience by appointing him Lord of the Crucis March. One of the first acts of his new office is to oversee the crowning of the Duchess of [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Arendelle]], who has finally come of age. Of course, no sooner does he arrive when he runs into ([[CrashIntoHello literally]]) the new Duchess' fireball of a sister, Anna.

* ''Comments'': An excellent fusion that fits the places and people of the film seamlessly into the BT universe. Characterisation is excellent on both sides. The first few chapters can be a little heavy on backstory and scene setting exposition, but even if you aren’t interested in the BT background it is well worth sticking with it till the story kicks off in earnest.

She receives word that her noble father is dead, and she's inherited assets belonging to the family's formerly-defunct mercenary unit. Erin returns to her homeworld, Dalian, a border planet in the Free Worlds League, to take command and build up the unit. ComStar is aware of what she's doing.

* ''Synopsis'': ''Franchise/MassEffect'' crossover. Aleksandr Kerensky has led the war weary Star League Defense Force on a two year long journey into exile. A chance decision leads to a long awaited discovery, and final proof that humanity is not alone in the cosmos.
* ''Comments'': There are several interesting changes to the canon that make this interesting, even for a FusionFic/AU, one of the most notable being [[spoiler: Humanity making a ''peaceful'' first contact with the Quarians, as opposed to the usual canon and violent first contact with the Turians]]. All together a good read.

''* Synopsis:'' Welcome to Somerset, Clanner Scum.

We've been waiting for you.

Have you met The Bruce, young Rhiannon? As far as the offworlders are concerned, she's the 'Duchess,' but nobody cares much about that around here. She'll be your guide during your brief visit, showing you to such lovely locals as 'Crushing Defeat Canyon,' 'The Mountains of Massacre,' and you can expect your passage through our atmosphere to be marked by attrition.

She's a little hellion, our Rhiannon, and has very special ways of dealing with uninvited guests. Don't take our word for it, you'll learn soon enough.
