What happened after the 'red ending? This is my epilog to "Mass Effect 3" I started before the Extended Cut...when we had to live with an incomplete 'ending' with huge logic holes. This is my attempt to complete "Mass Effect" in both a logical and more importantly statisfying fashion! The main character is Mary Shepard, who took the Paragon path! In loving dedication to Kat.

Between the events of ME2 and ME3. Kaidan is assigned to escort the Normandy back to Earth after the events of Arrival. M for some language and eventually some adult situations.

This is pretty much a Vega/FemShep relationship almost as thought it were cannon. Rated M for my language, no lemons, just the stuff that should have been in the game in the first place! It's also really goofy at points, that's due to Vega.

Fem!Shep/Kaidan/James V. She wanted to spend forever with Kaidan, but she's not sure she can live with him doubting her. James offers his friendship and maybe more as she tries to piece her emotions together.

This story is love triangle between Shepard/Alenko/Vega. It will be told from Alenko and Vega's POVs. It will highlight parts of the game, but will not be a retelling of it. Not an AU, but some liberties have been taken for the sake of the plot.

He was determined to be the best pilot of the navy. She'd always strived to be at the top of anything she did. They had more in common than they knew and more hurdles to cross than anyone ever humanly could.

Being forced to sit in a brig for weeks on end may lead to a slow descent into madness for some, but Shepard doesn't mind the waiting as much as James Vega seems to. You can find out so much about a person by what they do during their downtime.

I wake up in a new world, a world I know nothing about. Sure I've heard of the game, I've read the stories, but do I have what it takes to help the galaxy's hero stop our galaxy from ending? I doubt it.

Please note that the story focuses on their individual lives before they meet in The Shepherdess and the Questing Beast and contains moments of light and moments of extreme darkness ... M for mature themes. There are dark elements in this story as well as humor.

Fem Hawke mage and Cullen pairing. My own fantasy of how things could go if a conflicted Hawke and Cullen formed an alliance.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you developed a case of hero worship," Varric smirked. "Why? Because I have respect for a woman who built herself from nothing?" F!Hawke/Fenris. DISCONTINUED

Beginning at the end of Conviction, James Vega is assigned to guard one of the most influential women in the galaxy, a women he himself considered to be almost godlike in her accomplishments and adventures, Commander Shepard. Shepette/Vega

There is nothing Loghain Mac Tir would not do for his country, but an arranged marriage with a woman half his age is the last thing he thought might be required. Canon-based AU with Elissa as eldest. Spoilers for The Stolen Throne and The Calling.

Cullen goes to Kirkwall to escape the shadows that haunt him in the Ferelden Cirlce. When he meets Hawke and joins her companions he finds himself falling falling for an Amell all over again. Cullen/Hawke Hawke is a little softer than she is on the game.

Joker thought he had lost everything he loved when the Normandy was destroyed - his home, his ship... Shepard. This is the story of their reunion and life once she was brought back by Cerberus.

"What was a person with no home, no family, no friends, and no name? ... She was nothing." A lost and lonely F!Cousland, one very angsty Alistair, and a Loghain that just might be good at finding things. Rated M just in case, and for later chapters.

With the words "I yield," Lhiannon Amell's path as a Grey Warden changed forever. The story of what changed with those two small words. Begins at the Landsmeet and continues through Awakening. Rated "M" for adult themes, violence, and language.

Between dying and working for Cerberus, Shepard has begun to fear she is losing herself. Only her best friend can help her retain her sanity. But in the midst of comfort, they discover together that they are meant to hold more than that. Shoker, Rated M.

A life saved and the favor returned make Zaeed and Shepard rethink their stance on each other.
