Potentially Awkward by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

  • Recommended by: Pillar General 8
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: There are some things a mother can never tell her daughter.
  • Pairing(s): Ripley/Hicks
  • Tags: Alternate Universe
  • Review: This is a wonderful one-shot that examines the relationship and chemistry between Ripley and Hicks, set years after the events of the film, when Ripley tells a teenaged Newt about how she fell in love with Hicks on Hadley's Hope one night. I loved how the author expanded upon an already-delightful chemistry between Ripley and Hicks, and showed how their tentative interest strengthened and grew into genuine love for one another.


    Crossover Fics 


The Last Connor by Captain Tazer

  • Recommended by: Marcus S Lazarus
  • Status: Complete
  • Crossover with: Terminator Genisys
  • Synopsis: Three Terminators arrive in the year 2180 with the intent to terminate a selected group of people. One of the targets is a little girl named Newt. Can a certain Terminator from the past keep her safe?
  • Tropes page: here
  • Review: A fascinating blend of the two series, the fic starts with the premise that the survivors of Aliens made it to safety rather than the crash-landing witnessed in Alien³. With Ripley and Hicks' fates initially unknown, Newt's miserable life with uncaring grandparents is abruptly upended when "Pops" appears to protect her from a new group of Terminators, revealing Newt's family 'secret' as the last of Sarah Connor's descendants, pitting Newt and her guardians against a new generation of Skynet...


Survivors, Monsters, and Murderers by jetangel02

  • Recommended by: vadno3
  • Status: Ongoing (Last Updated: October 27, 2021)
  • Crossover with: Akame ga Kill!
  • Synopsis: Night Raid and the Jaegers are prepared to battle each other to the death. But are either of them ready to stand against one of the galaxy's deadliest species? Their best hope lies with a group of survivors from beyond the stars. War is inevitable and death is certain. Courage and trust are their best weapons against the Xenomorph plague.
  • Review: Interesting tale that starts before the climax at USS Sulaco rather than the end of Aliens. It adds the sci-fi theme to the manga's setting well and adds some call-backs to the two films
