"Spectres, well, that's what they look for- initiative, sound judgment, a dash of insanity." My novelization of Mass Effect 1, featuring Commander Nathaly Shepard and the rest of the crew, with an eventual Shenko romance. This fic takes a deeper dive into the story and characters, as well as adding or altering some events.

For Shepard, death is just another technicality (AU, Shakarian).

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.

Life after Alchera took a very different turn for Kaidan Alenko, one that never led him to Horizon but into the depths of Cerberus instead. Returning from the dead Shepard doesn't only find herself in the belly of the beast but realizes that it has its claws deep in her former lover too. ME2 AU, Shenko.

After the night before Ilos Kaidan has no idea where he and Shepard stand, he just knows he can't let it go. While he's mulling on how to bring it up, Shepard has other things on her mind. Mainly a breakout she could use his help with.

Kaidan has a lot of time to think in the hospital after Mars. About Saren, the Collectors, and most of all, Shepard and the crew. Did he ruin everything with his doubts and accusations, or is there still a chance to fix their friendship? Or... become something more? Eventual slash. Follows through Mars to Leviathan DLC. Rated T.

It felt like a retreat, but it wasn't. What it was...was good-bye. Words I never wanted to say, because I'd said them too much. I wanted a life that we couldn't have, a chance that we weren't given. Now all I've got are memories...that last little bit of hope. Because I'm human. What happened after the Crucible fired? How do I make sense of you being gone? FemShep/Kaidan one-shot.

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.

Stalling the Reapers' arrival through the Bahak relay had come at a terrible cost and Kate Shepard willingly surrenders to the Alliance. As the batarians cry genocide and the Alliance scrambles to get her back home to Earth, a group of terrorists wants blood. In true peril, Shepard needs rescuing, but can Kaidan Alenko, the lover who'd left her on Horizon, save her in time? Pre ME3

The Reapers are destroyed. Shepard and Kaidan make good on a promise. But life will never be easy for the first two human Spectres or the galaxy they saved. Life after the Reapers. Focus on Shenko, but with a bit of galaxy-rebuilding. Image Credit: Requested render from sharilin on tumblr

Kaidan knows Shepard isn't interested. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and if all he can have is sideways glances...

AU (No reapers). Kaidan has just been assigned to the legendary Normandy, the posting of a lifetime. But the Commander is far from what he expected. As they investigate a series of mechs going rogue, Kaidan must face up to his own disturbing past and realise that not everything he believed in is true.

The galaxy tries to find the way forward, in the wake of the destruction of the reapers. Post-ME3, destroy ending, but completely ignores the whole 'destroy all synthetics' thing. "You drank ryncol?" Kaidan hissed at him, clearly not prepared to let that one go. Shepard shrugged, knowing it would only infuriate him more. "Yeah. But I survived," he pointed out casually.

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

Why was he worrying so much? She had waited so long for him. He had waited even longer for her... Kaidan/Fem!Shep oneshot.

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

The Battle of the Citadel has been won. Saren Arterius is dead. Commander Shepard is dead. Garrus Vakarian isn't. Alone on Omega among slavers, murderers, mercenaries, insane warlords and the worst of the galaxy's criminals, he does the only thing he can: declares war. The Archangel legend is born, but angels can fall. Nothing's ever easy...

Four years after Shepard fired the Crucible and at the beginning of a new decade, Specter Kaidan Alenko discovers a new and old threat to the galaxy. But within that threat, he also finds a treasure which might be able to help him move on. Torn between duties and overwhelming feelings, the second human Specter is desperately in need of a sanity check. Warnings: Slash and violence

The success of an undertaking is not determined by its necessity. The Lazarus Project was never likely to succeed.

Post-ME3 Destroy end. Garrus cares for Shepard while she struggles with recovering from her injuries, and in the process discovers that it isn't just her body that needs healing.

ME3 SPOILERS. Post-Destroy. There's no room for war heroes in peace time. A shattered, exhausted Shepard expected to die. Vega and Cortez, the only ones left of her old crew, won't let her.

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.

A grief sticken Kaidan Alenko gets called to identify an injured soldier. - Shenko. Very mild spoilers for the ME3 extended cut ending DLC. One brief instance of course language.

And here we have a series of scenes exploring different facets of a developing relationship between FemShep and Thane. It's not love at first sight for these two, and like any two people they have to work at understanding each other.
