I Should Go by
Nevery reviews
Speeches, farewells, denials, howls of grief and of rage. Those that knew Shepard in life remember the Commander in death. Shepard's gender and any interpretations of romance are intentionally ambiguous and left up to you. Disclaimer: Reading these shorts whilst listening to "An End for Once and For All" carries with it a heavy risk of tears.

For Tomorrow We Die by
ElectricZ reviews
ME2- After surviving the Omega Four Relay mission, the Normandy returns to find the galaxy in political turmoil. Cerberus has been exposed, humanity has lost its council seat, and the geth offer a peace that no one seems to desire. To complicate matters, the Reapers are coming. Most characters present. AU as it invalidates Mass Effect 3. Alternate ending begins chapter 71.

Exordium by
swaps55 reviews
"...there are empty spaces between the stars, a cold interstitum of utter dark, where blood runs black and monsters lurk. In the silence something broods, waits, watches. They are patient, constant, relentless. And they are far, far older than the infants now taking their first halting steps across the galactic sand." Events of ME:1. On/off screen moments, multiple POVs.

Control That Which You Cannot Destroy by
jay8008 reviews
Cerberus' goal was simple in concept: resurrect Shepard to be precisely the same. They failed. Pushing forward, the result was a powerful, untested cybernetic soldier who doubts his own humanity. Now, he will need to lean on his new crew of unknowns, old friends, a past love, and a new one even more fragile than he. [Many thanks to my fellow authors 'JacksAreWild' and 'Bebus']

Memoirs by
Sharrukin reviews
Centuries after the end of the Reaper War, a respected asari scientist and political leader tells the story of her youthful adventures with the legendary Shepard. Fighting to save the galaxy is one thing, but figuring out human motivations can be much harder. Science fiction, action-adventure, and a romance on slow burn.

ME3: After Purgatory by
kernelcrashdump reviews
"Let me know when you're back here," he said, pulling his t-shirt on and snatching up his leather jacket. "Okay, okay," she agreed, wrapped in a sheet, "Now, get out of here. Go save the galaxy." He smiled and kissed her once more before disappearing behind the sliding door. Jack shook her head, grinning and went back to bed.

Where We Are, There We Are by
Errationatus2 reviews
Just a short take on a Mass Effect Romance. This is mostly post-Suicide Mission ME2. Shepard was a child of Mindoir and the Butcher of Torfan. Jack is Jack. Just the two of them trying to figure things out. Reviews are welcome, but no pressure. "M" for language. Read/Critique/Shred/Enjoy.
