OSaBC II : That Which Cannot Die by
LogicalPremise reviews
My AU retelling of the events in ME2, with a completely new take on Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, and the Collectors. Examines the themes of what exactly constitutes death and life, the line between revenge and self-hatred, and how small amounts of light can shine in every darkness. Not a happy ending. Includes my takes on Overlord and LotSB. Rated M for language and violence.

Project Delta by
5th Legion reviews
She was not born into a normal life. She had no father to protect her, no mother to nurture her, no home to feel safe in, and no real chance at a future. Born in a lab, she was to be part of an experiment meant to change humanity into something new, to raise them to a new level of biological glory. Pain was her constant companion and suffering her faithful teacher. Covers Pre ME1

Queen's Gambit Accepted by
fahRENheit2006 reviews
Specialist Samantha Traynor, one of the Alliance's best and brightest, was relatively content working in Alliance R&D. But then... the Reapers came. Full of action, profanity, sarcasm, friendship, and gripping chess matches that will leave you breathless. Ch 31: Sam suffers through PT but creates a better way to have deeper conversations with Shepard.

Of Sheep and Battle Chicken by
LogicalPremise reviews
My AU retelling of ME1 in a darker, sinister universe. Much darker and more realistic views of the SA and the Citadel Council, a more dangerous, involved Cerberus, and a more conflicted Saren and Benezia. Changes much of the ME1 dynamic to remove plot holes with more focus on politics, military strategy, and space combat. Pairing is FShep/Liara. Rewritten through Chapter 65 so far.
