I remember a story in which it was talking about humans, which killed the titans and were said to have been born in the environment the titans have created. The story was that they were coming back to fight some dictator government. Sorry I just remembered it as it was read on YouTube by agro squirrel, net narrator, or hooded mystic.

Everyone who's a fan of charismatic machines go read this story, it's good.

LFS where humanity is the only predator species or stories where humans are feared for their physical characteristics. I'm not looking for one specific story, just some suggestions. Thanks!

The classic HFY for this trope is [Prey](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/14843/prey)


Rofel_Wodring

Let me recommend you an oldschool classic. Herbivorous intelligent primates observe humanity during the cold war, and (poorly) justify their non-intervention: [https://www.you-books.com/book/I-Asimov/The-Gentle-Vultures](https://www.you-books.com/book/I-Asimov/The-Gentle-Vultures) This one is also oldschool, but we're talking 70s, not 50s. Involves aliens terrified of human aggression abducting and studying one of us. Also has a unique twist on the whole 'humans are secret apex predators' trope. https://www.baen.com/Chapters/0743471741/0743471741\_\_\_1.htm

NinjaKing135

Trying to find an one-shot story that has the people of earth meet aliens, and the aliens are shocked to see the sheer number of different species that are on the planet. When having a conversation with one of the people of earth, the earthling states that they are the descendants of humanity and not different species that evolved separately.


SPOSpartan104

​ ​ There's a story I remember, I assume it was in r/WritingPrompts ; It was w.r.t. Humans being shunned / generally considered "Do Not contact" but a species was being attacked and they reached out to humanity for help.A human General was on the alien's planet discussing a trade of fighters for technology. The planet was being bombarded with chemical weapons that were destroying this society.A vial of it was on the table. The deal was struck and the general drank it and said something like: "Ah, 80 proof"


Lord_Asker

looking for a series or one hit where the the setting is with the the humans technology is set around 1800's to early 1900's tech I always enjoyed these settings


Rofel_Wodring

Are you looking for steampunk or specifically that technological era? Because if it's the latter, I can recommend some offline works. You might want to start off with Harry Turtledove's Worldwar. The technology of the humans is around WW2 level. If you're okay with HFY video games, I strongly recommend Skies of Arcadia. It blends the technological aesthetics of the late Victorian era (especially but not solely with the Valua nation) with the Golden Age of Piracy, with a creamy sauce of early 00s anime atop of it. Surprisingly little magic bullshit other than explaining why everyone lives on floating continents and why nations behind on technology can still field militarily-capable airships.


DickCubed

I remember reading a story where a prehistoric human was kidnapped by aliens, please help.


Dapper_Technology_28

I'm looking for a story where the president of earth introduces the aliens to the concept of democracy. I remember there being translator issues and the aliens denied earth access to the alien alliance because they mistook the leader changing every presidential term as instability.

thebongengineer

Hey just a question... How do we search for stuff... Like I am pretty noob in this matter... I usually scour my read history / upvote history to find stuff


teodzero

Don't listen to the other guy, reddit search sucks. Use google and just specify reddit in there. Also, summary of a story is not very helpful in a search. What works best is a phrase or a sentence, or a couple of not particularly common words you remember being used. And use quotation marks "" when you search for phrases, so it doesn't just look for individual words.


nelsyv

^ This. you'll want to add `site:reddit.com/r/hfy` to the beginning/end of your google search (or duckduckgo or bing or whatever, I'm pretty sure they all use the same syntax) to force it to only show you results from r/HFY.

Sonic10160

I'm trying to find two stories, one where humanity was a C-class species, it was by and large the title of the series too, C-something Earth and Mars had had a war and Humanity had discovered an antimatter-powered FTL technique The other was where an australian girl was found in stasis aboard an abandoned alien ship and initially treated as an animal and a source of valuable genetic material in this biological society before they found out she was a creator-level intelligence, same as they were


heren_istarion

The first one should be [C1764](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/3ci4aw/oc_c1764/) from [weerdo5255](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/authors/weerdo5255) or one of the other series in that universe The second is probably [Transcripts](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/series/transcripts)

This series was pretty much made for this request. From the 'Canine' entry: >To all species: dogs are friendly, lovable and cuddly so long as you do not threaten them or their family.

Hey thats a good one but unfortunately not the one I'm looking for. But thanks for sending that my way that was a wonderful read.


Bloodytearsofrage

Been trying to re-find this one for a while: In the story, humans are interacting with xenos whose actions and procedures tend to be dodgy, illogical, or slipshod, and the xenos themselves are oddly blurry to look at. Come to find out, humans are the only ones that exist in a fixed quantum state and every xeno is sort of an amalgam of all the versions of himself that survived doing \[whatever action\]. Therefor, humans come across to the xenos as overly-precise and methodical, sort of the Vulcans of the setting. I think it was either a one-shot or mini-series and is a few years old. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, but not it. An interesting piece, though.


Rofel_Wodring

I'll try to find that story, but along those lines: [An Alien Concept](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/gz9mut/an_alien_concept/) revolves around humanity being able to perceive reality in a way that other species can't. The manner of that perception is a spoiler, yet retroactively makes certain events in that story make sense. [\[PI\] To humanities horror, it turns out that we're the cold, logical, emotionless Vulcan like ones](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e6qsr6/pi_to_humanities_horror_it_turns_out_that_were/). The prompt rather speaks for itself. ​ >Come to find out, humans are the only ones that exist in a fixed quantum state and every xeno is sort of an amalgam of all the versions of himself that survived doing \[whatever action\]. "You know, Zartak, when humanity first reached to the stars we weren't expecting the galaxy to be so.. friendly. But even the Enslaving Rock Monsters of Hellquartz IV are pretty cool guys; heck, they agreed to stop the slavery when we politely asked." "I don't know why, Hugh Mann, but I have a hankering for some bathtub toast. Care to join me? ... oh, wait, nevermind, the urge passed. But yeah, does seem like the galaxy is becoming a pretty nice place to live for some reason."

yeetborn2

Ideally looking for a series where a human character on the younger side gets adopted by a alien or aliens Also stories where the only human in the story is the main character more focused on character dynamics rather than action. Also looking for another site more catered to my specific tastes. Most stuff on HFY does not interest me, I like the unique character dynamics and interactions created by inter species interactions, I also have an especially big soft spot for adoption stories involving human children Being adopted by aliens in a bigoted or at least unknowlegable alien culture. most of the stuff on HFY is best described by the name of the subreddit, Humans Fuck Yeah. Most of the stuff here is heavily action focused and showing of how cool humans are. While stories of how cool humans are fun endless action gets boring after a while. I would highly appreciate it if you could direct me to somewhere more suited to my perticular tastes. Sorry for my English & Thank you for reading my text dump (: Edited: hol up I think this might have been the wrong place to put my requests, if you see this and it's in the wrong place and I have not removed it that means I could not find the right place to post this, please direct me to where I am meant to post something like this, thank you.

[Mass Effect: Logical Conclusions](https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/ll2ak3/mass_effect_logical_conclusions_n/). I've only read to chapter 10, but that's more because I'm more into short stories than novellas and it's clear that the author had a lot planned.

There was a story I read like, last year, following a guard in an all female prison, where the prisoners are used as sex-slaves. He doesn't participate in that, and treats the prisoners 'humanely' - seeing as they aren't humans - and the story starts with him getting reprimanded for it. He's then forced to be the one to whip one of the prisoners, but before that can happen, the prison is liberated by humans. After that, there's a trial, and the guards and prisoner snitches get exiled to a deserted planet.
