Summary
Guided by the wings of night, scavengers again fly Rubicon's scorched skies. With talons of steel and light they fight for embers burning under snow and ice. But amidst the orchestra of the Coral War, still slow in its crescendo, a player is missing. For neither on the branches of the trees or the snow-capped wall, or even by the hidden scholar's side, can be found a feather of black...
Or, in a Rubicon without Raven, different wingbeats will dictate the path of the Coral War. Different wingbeats from different birds, who all may yet share a feather.

Summary
The Augmented Human is perhaps the greatest development of the early 36th century. While earlier generations of C-Pulse were criticized for being barbaric and unethical, later generations were said to be inhuman, between a lack of emotional responses and the lack of memories to define the remaining personality.

Three weeks.
Three weeks it took to form a new government. Three weeks it took to contact the Interstellar Union and request reinstatement. Three weeks it took for her to get back in the cockpit.
And now that she was, Walter sighed to himself, she was on cleanup duty. At least the Institute had left records of their troubles.
At least, some of them. Rubicon had depths even he couldn’t fathom, and she seemed to stumble upon them all the time.

Crossing the Rubicon by Seiji_The_Ice_Drake

Summary
The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom that means "passing a point of no return". Its meaning comes from allusion to the crossing of the river Rubicon by Julius Caesar in early January 49 BC.
A new wormhole has stabilized, meaning it's time for Sys-Zero, Char and Eveline, the current ace pilot of GEARS University and acting hero, to once again ready to go on the chase for the thief Jemini to retrieve more of the weapon parts she had stolen. Unfortunately for the three of them, the world beyond the wormhole is plagued by a war, and not the kind Sys-Zero and Eveline are used to. A war between corporations and a liberation front over a unique energy source known as Coral, with mercenaries, addicts and a planetary border patrol all taking part in the fight.
Going up against clearly evil alien invaders is one thing. Fighting an all human war, with human emotions and complexities is another.

Summary
Augmented human C4-621, callsign Raven triggers coral release for the 57th time.
Once again he is sent back to the beginning, but this time he keeps his memories and gear.

G5 Iguazu rembers everything too, the hundreds of defeats by 621 and the failures that lead to them.
What will he do differently this time.
Unfortunatly there are bigger forces at work, this time all the missions have changed for the worse, new enimies have arisen, and new faces appear from cracks in the timeline.
Can Raven escape the never ending cycle of torment, or will the cycles finally break him.
Follows multiple characters and POVs, plus we get daily life for the different factions.
Also Raven's a yandere and Allmind is here for some reason.

Summary
In the third ending of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, the fan favorite character, Rusty, is unaccounted for. Many have theorized what happened to the beloved pilot in the Coral Release/Alea Iacta Est ending. To celebrate the first anniversary of AC6 I gave my take on what happened to Rusty in the final ending of the game.

Summary
ACs have been the pinnacle of mobile weapons technology for generations. Most superpowers use them as their elite fighting force, but that’s not to say they don’t exchange them for new stock when the old ones wear out.

621 wasn't just a simple hound, Walter knew that from its file.
Active service would change anyone. He couldn't know what it had done before the Augmentation Surgery; those files had been lost with the Institute, but he knew it'd be an invaluable asset.
The others had gotten them to this point. Now he just needed one more to get them over the finish line.
Realignment wasn't a fun process to watch, but it'd be necessary if he wanted to make sure 621 didn't disobey its new handler.

Taste of Umami by One Sin - One Grace (EverythingNarrative)

Summary
The problem with the Kardashev scale of civilization advancement is that it is dreadfully tedious to ascend each rung of the ladder. To even reach Class 1 you need to blanket every desert in solar panels, split the atom in every ounce of uranium, cover every coastline in turbines, and fuse every gram of deuterium. To reach Class 2, you need to disassemble entire planets just to get enough mass to fill the lower orbits of your home star with a titanic swarm of solar satellites.
If only there was a shortcut. A substance that you could just dig out of the ground. Wouldn't that be grand? Imagine if the oil of the North Sea burned as energetically as deuterium-helium-3 fusion, could advance computing in ways that put the invention of the semiconductor to shame, and made you telepathic if you injected it into your brain. Are you imagining it?
Now you have an inkling of what Coral is. Frank Herbert, eat your heart out.

Summary
"Augmented Human, C4-621. Callsign: 'Raven'. Your records have been updated."
A spoiler-heavy Armored Core 6 story that tries to delve into possibilities in the regular game that've bored through my brain repeatedly the past few days.
The only thing that's probably straying from the normal in Armored Core is the story I want to tell and the personalization of 621, otherwise I'll try and keep things as they were in the game, do expect some dialogue or situational changes as I continue on just to try and make things fit together better. Thanks for reading!
