The Yuri Effect

This is a collection of short stories I'm starting that will pretty much relay every possible femslash romance you've ever thought of in Mass Effect, and even some you've probably never even considered before.

I will begin with the first game and will eventually go on to the second. And once I've finished the first game you can request any femslash romances I've left out although I must warn you this will be some time in the future, after about twenty or more different options.

Anyway I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1: Gianna Parisini

She simply could not believe that she had actually taken the time to help. Someone with all the troubles of the galaxy rested upon their shoulders had helped her, a lowly undercover cop with what could have been considered as being an insignificant investigation for corruption on the icy world of Noveria.

Gianna had heard of Jane Shepard of course, everyone had. The saviour of Elysium; the first human spectre and the Alliance Navy's poster girl: she was the best of what humanity had to offer, according to the media, but who was she to argue now? Now Gianna Parisini was finally herself herself again, after returning back from months of being undercover. No one could deny that she was very good at her job and extremely good at acting; one of the reasons she had managed to get this job in the first place. The trouble was that being undercover allowed for little to no companionship and almost no time where you could simply sit down with a beer and relax.

She was currently sitting in the small bar on Noveria, sipping at the beer she had waited months to drink, but the drink was barely registering with her taste buds. She had no one to share it with, no one to celebrate with after a job well done: all alone, that was just how she lived. It was her job to help pay for the family she had back home and if she had to sacrifice a few things for them then that was just tough shit. With a final sip of her drink she decided that she'd had enough of this wallowing and decided she needed something to take her mind off of this crap and what better than to get another assignment, perhaps somewhere a bit warmer.

She was about to get off of her seat but stopped when she saw who entered the bar, all alone with no armour was Jane Shepard. Gianna could see immediately that she was tired, perhaps after the events she had heard about at Peak 15 Gianna presumed. Word spread fast of what had happened there, of how Shepard had fought against an Asari commando unit as well as dozens of Geth and had come out relatively unscathed. The undercover agent had been impressed when she'd heard about it, as had most of the other people here.

Gianna watched as the spectre glanced around briefly before her eyes settled on her. Shepard gave her a tired smile before making her way over and sitting down beside her.

"Hey" she greeted before leaning forward. "I believe you owe me a beer?"

Gianna smiled: "Of course". She quickly ordered for her before looking back to Jane, seeing she had a far off look on her face. "What's up?"

Jane shook her head, coming out of her trance: "It's nothing, I'm sure you don't want to hear my troubles, you've got your own I'm sure. How about we both just act like two normal women who just happen to be on a very cold planet".

"That's pretty much impossible Shepard, but I'll sure as hell try" the cop spoke. "So, the weather"

Jane just laughed in response before turning serious again. "It's been a long time since I last laughed".

"Perhaps I should get some more out of you. Okay, there was a Salarian and Turian that walked into a bar..."

They made idle chat for a while, talking about their pasts. They spoke of family, or what little Jane had left. Gianna found the human spectre utterly fascinating, how she'd gone from being in a low-life gang to working as a Commander for the Alliance Navy. She often forgot just how young Shepard still was as she always appeared to be much older despite her beautiful appearance. And that was it, she found Shepard unbelievably attractive. Anyone would have loved to 'get with her' and Gianna was no different: she just would have loved to kiss those full lips of hers.

If only Shepard knew what was going on in her brain now she might not have still been talking to her, imagining what she looked like beneath those Alliance fatigues. Again she was brought from her thoughts by Shepard.

"I better get going; it takes some time to get to the Normandy form here". Jane turned to face her again, a slight glint in her eye. "You know, I enjoyed this, it's been quite some time since I've properly opened up to someone like this".

"Same here Janey. Both of us are lonely so how 'bout we both meet up again sometime? I can tell you about my boring assignments while you tell of your superhuman exploits while we drown our sorrows in each others company.

Jane snorted and grinned again: "Yeah, sure that sounds good. I'll be on the Citadel in a few weeks, how about then?".

"It's a date"

(Sept 2011)

For those of you re-reading this chapter I have changed quite a few things to the end. I didn't like how I made both of them jump straight into bed so instead I started a build up for ME2 and ME3 like with the Asari Councillor.

Just a short starter. There will be many, many more of these, some short and some a few chapters long. Some will also continue onto the second game when Shepard re-meets certain people. Also I'll probably be using the same Fem Shepard, Jane, but all the interactions will not be in the same 'universe' if you get my meaning. They will be single encounters unless stated otherwise.
