Favorite Migration Era Scenarios

Vandals don't take Africa
Western Rome survives in Hispania, Africa, and Italy while the East falls
Slavs in weird places, like Anatolia and Iberia

Basically, have Ricimer randomly die while Majorian is dealing with the Suebi. IIRC, Ricimer was the one who tipped off the Vandals about Majorian's fleet to invade North Africa; without this betrayal the Vandals will likely be destroyed and Majorian's prestige as well as his troops should be enough to bully the Senate into accepting the reforms he had proposed. As for the East, have Basilicus and Zeno still have their Civil War, have the WRE convince the Ostrogoths to move in while the Persians invade from the East.
