When There Was a Tomorrow is a Halo/Mass Effect crossover by General Rage. Set after the events of Mass Effect 2 and its subsequent Lair of the Shadow Broker arc, it begins with Team Normandy doing recon of a wormhole in search of a possible Reaper threat. The Paragon Commander Wade Shepard (Vanguard, Spacer/War Hero background) deals with tensions among his crew (and his current relationship with Tali) at first, only to come under abrupt attack from an (unbeknownst to them) Covenant warship during their observation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })After repelling boarders and destroying the ship from within, another Covenant warship ends up chasing them through the wormhole...and into an Alternate Universe where another humanity's first contact with alien species didn't go so well (well, not that it went well in the Mass Effect universe). After making some serious diplomatic efforts to assure some local naval assets they mean no harm, the Normandy is towed to the fortress world of Reach, and as a show of good will, Shepard offers to assist with a downed communications relay to prove that his alien crew is on the level...only for things to go south.Simply put, this story is a What If? scenario dealing with the differences between Mass Effect and Halo's technology, provides more than a few interesting interactions between the relatively xenophobic humans of the Halo universe and the Normandy Crew, and Shepard struggling to deal with The Chains of Commanding as he's thrust out of one apocalypse in the making and into another, not to mention some of the best written battle sequences since Finishing the Fight.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As of July 31 2012, the story is complete. The author has stated his plans to make it into a series (now titled The Wormhole Chronicles) with this book as the first, and posted the first chapter of the next book, Guilty Sparks, the day before Halo 4 was released.

Adaptational Early Appearance: Buck, Romeo, and Dutch show up at the end of the story and end up hitching a ride on the Autumn as it leaves Reach. This also counts as Adaptational Expansion for Buck, who only had a cameo in Halo: Reach. The Supercruiser from Halo: The Fall of Reach only shows up in the very last few chapters of the story. Here, it has an Early-Bird Cameo during Chapter 3, when it shows up right after the Normandy destroys a CCS Class Battlecruiser, forcing them to run into the wormhole rather than face it.

Action Bomb: Gremlins (Grunt Husks), unlike their un-Huskified fellows, need no longer rely on plasma grenades to suicidally blow away their foes.
