Summary
Two vessels, two timelines, two chances.
In one universe, the Pale King's foresight shows him the past. In another, it shows him the future. This difference causes a butterfly effect no one could have predicted. In one universe, a Vessel lives, and everything proceeds as it has been: completely FUBAR. In another, a Vessel is killed, another is born, and the situation is still completely FUBAR, but for a completely different set of reasons.
EDIT: FOYN (AKA Fyn) here to clarify, both our stories share a root universe and a lot of their lore, but things do diverge, with growingCataclysm's story taking place in my AU. So, NSBV is an AU of an AU essentially. growingCataclysm's story starts somewhere during NSHK 20th chapter, but events began to diverge in the background of NSBV before then. Not all lore elements are the same, though they are similar.
Our stories do not interact with each other otherwise, and though NSHK does not strictly need to be read in order to understand NSBV, it does provide a lot of the background details and some context. NSHK is completely independent from NSBV and will not be interacting with the plotline of NSBV, aside from maybe an easter-egg or cameo Stan-Lee-style.

Summary
“Death is fair-”
Narinder raised a brow at them, but listened. “It’s the only guarantee we have,” they continued, “and I think-” Lambert turned their eyes up to him for a moment before looking away, “I think that’s beautiful.”

“Better than us?’ Leshy leaned forward, “his kin, his family? What deal could you barter with him that he won’t beat you at?” The bagworm scoffed and kicked his feet up to lay down. “Betrayer of the betrayer, I look forward to seeing the next bout between the two of you- what, are you two some two headed snake consuming itself? I’ll make sure to place a bet before the end of it.”
-
Why did Narinder betray his family? Perhaps a Lamb, tired and weary, might help him detangle his heart.

Summary
Squad done and dusted, mom in palliative care: Garrus is on the brink. Patched together from scrap with all systems in overdrive, Shepard's no better.
They're still clocked in. Have to be. Thing is, you can't keep running on empty. The indicator's flashing red, and ignoring it only works until it doesn't.
[Formerly titled "Enough," for reasons lost to time.]

Summary
2174. Admiral Hackett has just recommended twenty-year-old Marika Shepard for a one-year Alliance-Turian military exchange. Tasked with training at a base near Cipritine, she finds herself immersed in a world that’s not quite ready to forgive, or forget. Seventeen years after the First Contact War, scars remain—and for a human in turian ranks, respect doesn’t come easy.
But amidst the rigid discipline and unspoken resentments, Marika finds something she never expected: belonging. And in one sharp-eyed medic with a laugh like sunlight—something even rarer.
Learning to fight alongside turians is hard. Falling for one? Surprisingly easy.

Summary
The journey of a vessel who escapes the slaughter of their kin and makes it out into the wider world beyond Hallownest; the trauma of the events and a stubborn denial making them promptly forget their past and their siblings.
An unknown force calls them back to the kingdom of their creation, and they’re torn between investigating the strangely familiar visions and sights that plague them, and burying it deep in the recesses of their memory yet again; all the while meeting people on the way and trying to navigate the unsteady waves of friendship.

Summary
As the knight, vessel of void given focus, ascends through the pantheon of Hallownest, the Radiance realizes that while she may win once, twice, or even ten times, she cannot win forever. As such, she starts to make a plan to get rid of her ancient enemy, once and for all. But how do you get rid of that which returns upon death ? Simple. You use a dream gate of unfathomable power and send them to an other universe. Which universe ? She may not know, but it does not matter. So long as they are gone, they can no longer trouble her.
But they can definitively trouble Shepard. Will this strange new creature aid her in the fight against the reapers ? Will it hinder her progress ? Or will it just sort of hang around, unsure of it's purpose in a strange new world ?Series
