Shepard is back, but she's not who she used to be. It's all she can do to put one step in front of the other. Slow-moving Shoker. Starts very cannon, gradually opens up to examine Shepard's past and her relationship with Joker, as well as tighten up the scattered elements of the plot into a cohesive narrative.

From working on a small farm on Mindoir to serving on one of the Alliance's most advanced warships, Calliope Shepard has always lived by the same simple motto: speak softly, carry a big stick, and celebrate at every chance you get. She's not about to let a little thing like the impending destruction of the galaxy ruin her tried-and-true approach to life. [Shoker. Updates Sundays.]

Shepard can't always be fighting the bad guys. When she isn't, a certain Flight Lieutenant is there to keep her company. Scenes that I imagine would fit in between missions. Written using pure dialogue. Anticipated Shoker.

James Vega and Jane Shepard share a quiet moment on the eve of the battle for Earth.

Shepard died when the Normandy SR-1 was blown to pieces, and yet there she is, shouting out orders and fighting mercenaries as if no time had passed. Joker isn't sure if he's feeling happy and relieved that she's back, or guilty for being the one responsible for her death. Rated M for language and possible smut in the future. The story is from Joker's POW.

Not everyone who rises to the top is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Jane Shepard and Jeff Moreau may come from very different places, but they are united under the same goal: Stop Saren. As they find, sometimes opposites attract... Over time. ME1 story line. FemShep/Joker. Heavy in dialogue. Rated M for language in dialogue. All other would rate T.

Bioware owns all, I'm just borrowing their toys. Rated T for brief language and mild adult themes. Read and review!

One-shot written for the Shoker-Central challenge on deviantart...Commander Moreau is in charge of the Normandy, at the helm is Flight Lieutenant Shepard. How does that look?

"Hold still and it will hurt less!" Snapped Holly frustrated as she made an attempt to patch up Grendel after the "Good old fashion bar fight" he and Bigby had in her bar, Christ, it would take forever to clean up, and Gren being too cheap to go get proper medical care had left her with no other choice but to try to take care of his wounds. Grolly (GrendelXHolly)

Nobody gets left behind when the Normandy docks for shore leave. Shepard goes back to persuade Joker to come and have some fun, except he ends up having much more fun staying right where he is. One shot, Shoker smut.

Following their escape from Earth and the loss of Palaven, Commander Shepard allows herself a rare moment of weakness and self-doubt. (Moderate-length drabble)

Shepard has trouble sleeping, and finds solace in the cockpit . . . and the pilot who's kept her grounded all these years. Just a tender little moment between them.

When Nick tells he and Daniel about their kiss he feels inexplicable rage towards his friend. Rage because Lindsey kissed Nick and not him, because he's loved her since that first 'hello', because her little brother asked him to take care of her, and mostly, even though he hates to admit it, it might just mean that Lindsey likes Nick more then him.

Sometimes, it's easiest to take a chance when you have nothing left to lose. Shoker (of course.)
