When all is lost, how do you go on? Shepard deals with resurrection, love, and something else she never expected. ME2, ME3, DLC, AU. Action/drama/romance/family.

A collection of moments for my Shepard and Kaidan Alenko throughout the third game, the title taken from his comment on their Citadel date.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It should be simple, really. He pushes, she pulls. He leaves, she comes running. But in love and war, nothing's ever that simple. (cover art by airagitt on deviantART)

[Milieu: the surroundings or environment that somebody lives in and is influenced by.] The Normandy carries more than just soldiers. It carries, hope, friendship, love and despair of the entire galaxy on it's silvery black wings. Moments captured in time.

After Horizon, Joker's had enough of the sulking on board, so he decides to do something about it. It's just too bad for Cerberus that "doing something" means dumping Shepard and Kaidan alone on a dangerous planet to hash out their problems, a planet that one member of the crew is already intimately familiar with. Rated M, mostly for later situations and a whole lot of profanity.

Events in ME2&3 taken from Kaidan's POV. Idea that popped in my head and wouldn't go away. Some liberties taken. Playing Paragon should not mean you don't get angry. Paragon/Colonist/War Hero/ Savior of the Galaxy (again) Shepard/Alenko Please R&R

The story of Kathryn Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, spanning all 3 games. Will stray from canon. Rated M for suggestive scenes.

In the end, there's only one thing that really matters. Explorations, variations and off-camera moments from the Mass Effect 3 storyline. Multiple character POVs.

Mass Effect 2/3 AU where Kaidan is downed by Collectors on Horizon and Shepard has no choice but to take him aboard the Normandy to save his life. A simple act that changes the path that had been laid out before them, rewriting the legend of Commander Shepard and the man at her side. Mature for violence, sexual situations, and language. Kaidan/Fem!Shepard.

This is a running documentation of the firsts in Cmdr. Rachel Shepard and Kaidan Alenko's relationship. Told from both perspectives. Each chapter divided into Hers and His. Definitely fluffy Shenko. Canonish through all 3 games, but will AU after ME3 because I need my happy ending. Chapter 51! Back on the Normandy...

Post Mass Effect 3: The Reapers are gone but the battle isn't over for Shepard or Kaidan. As Kaidan tries to bring the Normandy home he uncovers new enemies and struggle against his own demons, believing Shepard was destroyed with the Citadel. Shepard battles against her own body as she tries to recover from her injuries.

A series of one-shots about Shepard, Kaidan and all the things in between. Snapshots of falling in love, family and heartbreak. ME1, ME2, ME3 and beyond. Mostly canon with 'Changeling'. Can be read in any order, rating varies. Marked as complete because they are all standalone.

Two people would have no idea of the struggle ahead of them... For their existence. For their love. (Femshep/Kaidan from Mass Effect 1 to 3 and a little beyond.) Contains spoilers for Citadel and Leviathan dlc's - Alternative ending - COMPLETED

Kaidan and Ashley both survive Virmire. Post-Destroy they move on with their lives. When someone threatens the life of Shepard, they must race against the clock to solve the mystery. James isn't going to let the two Spectres have all the fun to themselves. Adoration is a dangerous game. Kaidan/Femshep, James/Ashley. Team Milky Way friendship. COMPLETE with epilogue.

The story of Shepard and Kaidan told between and after the Mass Effect trilogy story. Cause we all need more Shenko. (Post destroy)

They promised that they would be waiting for each other. When it was all said and done, they would finally be together and nothing or no one would ever keep them apart again.

Five times Kaidan Alenko sang to his Commander Shepard, and one time he didn't. - Note: Outtakes posted after the epilogue, "Postlude," are not written in any particular chronological order.

3rd story, following Escaping the Past, and Repairing the Present. My headcanon of Mass Effect 3, as Kaidan and Shepard struggle to unite the galaxy and reconnect against overwhelming odds, and Shepard's impending breakdown. There will be a happy ending!

Set between ME2 (post Arrival DLC) and ME3 (before Shep's 6 month arrest). A promise made before the Normandy was destroyed and honored only once is finally beimg upheld again. This is a bit of fluff for FemShep and Kaidan and is just a holiday special from your truly.

For the Mass Effect Big Bang 2012 - From Mindoir, to Akuze and head first into the end of the world - an exploration of Infiltrator Shepard in pre and post battle snippets and drabbles from pre-ME to ME3. An intimate look on how she turns from caring only for her own survival to transforming herself into the saviour of the galaxy. Art can be found on my AO3 account see my profile.

Shenko drabbles from the entire trilogy in no particular order, a number from prompts on my tumblr. Focus on my Marrakech Shepard, from Chiaroscuro.

My way to make the ending of ME3 make sense. Major spoilers for the end of ME3. Definite Shenko!

My perspective on what happened after the ending of ME3 told through a series of one-shots with an underlying Shenko storyline. Rated T for language. *Epilogue up and story now complete!*

This is my version of life on the Normandy between missions. Spoilers abound! Primary focus is on the relationship between Shepard and Kaidan.

Another novelization of the games featuring Andy Shepherd and Kaidan Alenko. Shameless Shenko-ness. Enjoy if that's your thing.

ME2 up to ME3, follows Snapshots and Oligo. Shepard and Alenko each try to deal with their new-found situation, each trying to pick up the pieces of a life they lost when the Normandy went down. Note: More emotional exploration than action.

There were a lot of firsts in Kaidan Alenko's life, some he remembered, some he didn't. Others he could never forget.

Mass Effect. The story of Commander Graceyn Shepard-life, death, rebirth, and life once again-in her own voice.

A series of short pieces - some drabbles, some oneshots, some a little longer. Kaidan Alenko and Selina Shepard, from ME1 onwards & largely from Kaidan's POV. Consisting mostly of original scenes, but with a few in-game scenes that have been reimagined, as well. Written for the 30 Days of Writing challenge on tumblr.

They have been kept apart by space, time and even death but their feelings for each other haven't changed. Set between ME2 and into ME3 and the coming together of Shepard and Alenko with a little help from unexpected sources.

A series of short drabbles from a writing challenge on my tumblr. The goal is to write one drabble once a day for thirty days to see what comes out. Mass Effect to Mass Effect 3. Shenko.

"gradual change along a scale or series" Kaidan works to rebuild a relationship with the woman he doesn't quite trust anymore but never stopped loving. Kaidan/femShep, Mass Effect 3

Through many small moments and some interventions with friends, Shepard and Alenko cultivate their rocky relationship. Paragon War Hero line FemShep with Kaidan romance. In Progress

Part 1 of the 'No Strings Attached' saga. Shepard and Alenko meet each other on Trident while on shore leave. After a chance encounter leaves them instantly attracted to each other, they abandon all caution. No names, no dates, no strings attached. But once it's over, is it really over? Shenko. Pure fluff, no plot. You've been warned.

Falling in love is easy, it's staying together that's hard. Add to that the threat of galactic extinction, and there's really no time for romance. But for Commander Shepard there is just one exception. My version of the Shenko romance story from ME1-ME2.

Rumours abound: the Omega 4 relay has been used, and signs lead to Shepard being involved somehow. Someone has to investigate, and who better than one of Shepard's former crew? Of course, that's just the start of strange goings-on.

Explorations, variations and off-camera moments from the main storyline. Shenko, multiple character POVs.
