This is the novelization of my play-through of the Mass Effect trilogy spanning all three games and eventually the aftermath. It is focused on the growth and camaraderie of the major crew and will eventually lead to a romance between Tali and Shepard. It is one of the few stories based around an engineer Shepard and attempts to explain the mysteries of "Space Magic."

Sequel to And the Meek Shall Inherit the Galaxy. On hiatus while author recovers from medical emergency.

The sequel to Warrior Ethos, this is a retelling of ME2. It has ManShep x Tali and FemShep x Garrus, and is designed to be very realistic, etc. A little bit AU. You don't need to read the first story, but it helps. It uses Calinstel's ideas on the quarian culture. Focuses more on the relationships and less on the missions. The information page is a separate story of mine.

This story directly continues the unfinished series "To Survive", by Calinstel, with his consent. John Shepard continues to prepare for the coming Reaper threat.

"I love you. And I want you here . . . with me." Follow the story of Commander Nolan Shepard and Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, two lonely souls in need of the respite that one can only offer the other amid a world of chaos and destruction. A fluffy/angsty (somewhat contradictory, I know) novelization of the Shepard/Tali romance in ME3. Rated M to be safe.

Many thought the destruction of Sovereign and the defeat of the genocidal geth would spark a new era of peace, prosperity and unity. They were wrong. A month has followed since the events of Enigma and the war is far from over; it's only just begun. A new enemy has arisen from it's hiding place and is ready to declare total war on one enemy alone; humanity. Let the harvest begin.

Can a young quarian engineer, who has never known war, and a human man, who has seen more than most, find love among the stars? An (eventually) trilogy-spanning story of M!Shep and Tali'Zorah that will grow farther from canon as it gets longer. Rated M for violence, language, and sexual content (eventually). ME1 arc now complete.

Due to a shift in turian and quarian patrols, first contact for humanity is friendly; Rael'Zorah and Hannah Shepard become friends, as do their species. But the galaxy is not a safe place, and schisms develop when the Council steps in. As humanity finds new allies among the stars, something darker stirs. The Meek must beware, for it is nearly harvest time. AU, lots of worldbuilding

After he awakens to find his life upended and his friends scattered, Shepard continues the struggle against the hidden enemies that threaten the galaxy while he tries to reclaim the family he lost. M for language, violence, adult content. Being progressively rewritten as new chapters are added.

With the destruction of the Temple Ship humanity knew peace. XCOM never forgot their motto however, 'always vigilant, always reliable'

In two years a lot can change..especially people. The whole galaxy believes that Shepard is dead, but only Cerberus knows the truth. Can he convince his friends that he is the same person...can he convince himself. One girl helps him realize who he is and well...they fall in love along the way. Art work is from QuarianGypsy at Deviantart btw :)

Instead of dying, Commander Hal Jordan-Shepard is inducted into the Green Lantern Corp. Here he fights forces that threaten the universe while he hurries to go back home to defend his galaxy against the reapers and Blackest Night.

Tali'Zorah reunites with a comrade that has been presumed dead for two years. However, she is far from convinced she can trust the word of this man, especially when he's keeping company with Cerberus. Re-summarized, and reclassified as what I think is called a "one-shot".

Neither Tali nor Shepard knew what they were getting into when they learned about the geth attacks. Eventually Shepard&Tali romance. Currently rated T. Completed.

Shepard is a being from a parallel universe who came to the Mass Effect Galaxy to bring Cerberus to justice after the crimes they committed against his galaxy, only to find a greater threat to not just ME's Galaxy but his own. ME1-3. AU.

Collection of one-shots turned into a whole blown story by public request. Emphasis on Tali and Shepard. Important characters as well: Thane, Garrus. Changed the rating to M for violence and language.
