Intro
This page is by no means an exhaustive list of Halo fan-made media. Instead, it is a curated collection presented in chronological order of some of the best I have stumbled upon and if you wish to explore this creative corner of the universe, acts as a good jumping off point for you.
All of these events take place during Common Era (CE).
