''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14036248/1/What-if-the-Yeerks-Were-the-Good-Guys What if the Yeerks Were the Good Guys?]]'' is an ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' AlternateUniverseFic by Zeik Aramaik.

After getting a D+ one too many times, Tom joins a local club called the Sharing in hopes that it'll help improve his school performance. He soon discovers that there's more than meets the eye; it's a front to find more hosts for Yeerks, alien refugees who want to defend Earth from invaders.
----
!!This fanfic contains examples of:
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Since the Yeerks are benevolent refugees instead of an invading empire, the major human hosts have much less angst. Mr. Chapman didn't sell himself into slavery to protect his daughter; Eva merely got divorced and moved away instead of having her death faked for her; and Tom is friends with Temrash instead of being suicidally depressed.
* AdaptationalWimp: Thanks to a quantum virus from the Andalites, Yeerks have lost the ability to control hosts against their will.
* DeadGuyJunior: Eva's Yeerk, Edriss (no number), is named after Edriss 562
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The full members of the Sharing try to introduce a woman to the Yeerks; she freaks out so much that they have to sedate her and use a machine to remove her memories of the past twenty minutes.
* ShoutOut: The author admits that Mrs. Chapman's first name, Allison, was lifted out of the ''Fanfic/{{Eleutherophobia}}'' series.
