2) Warlord Ascending (By Erico)

On the world of Chimeral, the Chimera Sui Generis cried out for help when the Incursean Empire conquered their world, and none came. But the Chimerans still fought for their freedom, and one was a boy who built things. The Incurseans, and then the galaxy would call him Vilgax.

In the late summer of 1952, the world changed forever when aliens came down from the skies and landed in Washington D.C. Jim "Merlin" Huxby, the leader of the Plumbers, struggles to respond to the offers of peace - especially given the price of membership. But he's used to making hard decisions.

In the Summer of 1965, Captain Max Tennyson is the pride of the USAF's 563rd Tactical Fighter Squadron, with a future in NASA and a moonshot waiting for him back in the States.

AU's of the Little Moments Universe

These stories aren't an official part of LM canon, but they capture the spirit of the story and do a great job of adding onto it.

1) Little Moments AU Side Stories (by delmartian)

Explores the confusing mess of the kids lives as they try to sort out their feelings after what happened on New Years. Takes place between LM chapters 26-32. Very well done and I think that anyone who has enjoyed LM will love these stories, too. I know I have.

Notes and Story Links

The Ben 10: Little Moments universe just keeps getting bigger!

When I started it all those years ago it was just me trying to figure out how the characters I knew from the original series changed into the people that they were in Alien Force. It was just supposed to be a little story, but it kept growing thanks to some of the friends I made as I was writing it and turned into it's own thing. The original version - which is still up if anyone wants to read them - was the best I could do back then, but I always felt like there was more that I wanted to do with it, which is why I started Little Moments Rebooted a few months ago. It has everything that I just hinted at in the first version, more action, more romance, more of Ben and Gwen arguing. I hope that everyone enjoys it just as much as the original, which are now Little Moments Classic and Breaking Point Classic.

It isn't just me that's been working on this verse. When the story was just a mess in my head Erico took it upon himself to try and help. It took a few years, but he managed and along the way he started adding stories of his own to my 'verse. The first one was a side piece to chapter 22 of LM Classic - Little Moment: As Old As You Feel, which added Azmuth's and Max's reactions to Vilgax's final attack.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Finding Heaven

As for my other series, Finding Heaven was the first fanfiction I'd ever written and it was my response to Buffy the Vampire Slayer season six and starts when someone else finds Buffy at the Bronze on the worst night of her life, the night where she had to admit that she'd been pulled out of heaven. Spike might know what it's like to have to dig out of your own grave, but Anya knows what it's like to have people you love pull you out of the place that made you happy. Finding Heaven, So Complicated, Get This Party Started, Black and White, Picking Up the Pieces, Dreams and Prophecies, Light at the End and Heaven Can Wait. I want to thank a friend of mine, Greywizard, for encouraging me to repost them here. If you like the Finding Heaven series, he has borrowed from it for his 'Correcting Past Mistakes' stories. You can read it at www . tthfanfic . org/Series-1154.

Thank you to everyone who has left a review. It means a lot.
