Hawke's as much a mage as Fenris is an elf: skin-deep and, in their opinion, irrelevant. Another thing they have in common is they are trained warriors. Lastly, they both share the opinion that the other is tedious and annoying (this a widely held opinion). A story about coming together by being apart, about memory and meaning, and about when to shut up.

AU. Where fallen stars are after images, never meant to return. But there is debt to be paid to Commander Alenko. And so here Shepard is: in the limelight and in the clutches of the Reaper War. Set after ME 1 till the end of ME 2. Where Shepard isn't the Commander we know.

Alduin was defeated, but a dangerous enemy still remains in Skyrim. After tragedy struck, Einarr is struggling to get on with his life, but memories haunt him every waking moment and he is let wondering. Was it really just an accident? Was it all planned? The Thalmor presence has grown stronger and action must be taken. Will the Dragonborn fight, or flee?

AU where the Alenkos decide to foster a sixteen-year-old girl after an Alliance patrol led by Kaidan's father rescues her on Mindoir. Shenko. From pre-ME1 to post-ME3. New cover art featuring an all grown-up Lisa Mae Shepard by gravity-zero.

Aeiron Stormblade, Thane of Whiterun, is a person of many different things; dangerous and swift nearing the top of the list. Her feet lead her to Jorvaskr after the end of the Civil War and the destruction of Alduin and she finds someone that makes her think that maybe she doesn't have to do everything alone anymore.

"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.

Irina Coldstorm has tried to forget about the fact that she is the Dragonborn. She is no hero and she's terrified of dragons, for good reason! All she wants is a family and somewhere to belong. She finds that among the Thieves Guild. But can she avoid her destiny forever? And will a certain red-haired thief be willing to let her go? (More description in author's note.)

A collection of random encounters, humorous anecdotes, and tense situations surrounding the romance of my Female Sole Survivor of Vault 111, Macha, and everyone's favorite ghoul paramour, John Hancock. Some chapters will be NSFW.

The evolution of Shepard and Garrus' relationship through the events of ME2.

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

After she's sent down to Alchera to find the pieces of her ship, Shepard begins to wonder how she might put back together the pieces of herself.

Resurrection creates a whole new set of problems, especially when you owe your life to Cerberus. Hunted by the Shadow Broker, haunted by the mystery of her green biotics, Shepard must distance herself from those she loves in a desperate attempt to stop the Collectors. But an unseen threat could destroy everything she's fighting for, and her love in the process. ME2 with a twist.

A wise Krogan once said that the only stories worth telling are those of love, sex, and war. This has all three. A story of provocateurs, confidants, and unhealthy attraction. Mass Effect Noir. Rated MA. Original content and a touch of AU pre & post ME1-3 concerning the secrets, origins, and lives of Jane Shepard and Garrus Vakarian.

[SPOILERS!] The story of a relationship between the Sole Survivor (F) and MacCready. Framed around story quests, so there's definitely Fallout 4 spoilers involved!

Ten billion people over here die, so twenty billion over there can live. After the war, there are pieces to pick up, and lives to rebuild. And even with the Reapers gone, nothing is easy.

"What in the Maker's name were you supposed to do when you liked a woman?" It's a question Alistair has asked himself far too many times since unexpectedly meeting her in the Wilds. And though he knows he should be focusing on the Blight, he can't seem to help himself around her - from falling deeper into his attraction for her. *OC, Cousland Warden with Morrigan, M for lemons*

In the chaos of the ongoing First Contact War, the Alliance is contacted by a resistence cell comprised of captured humans on Palaven, and Shepard is drafted for a covert mission to make contact. Her cover lands her where? The Vakarian household, of course. Shepard/Garrus, AU.

When the change sweeps the world, the most immediate conflict is only one facet. The changing wind sweeps through layer upon layer upon layer. The better to alter -everything-. Rated M for language and content.

There's nothing straight about the path she has to take. It's one long, endlessly twisting road to the center of the dark...and back again. Rated M for language, violence, and adult content.

Nora has spent a year in the Commonwealth and finds herself in the town of Goodneighbor, trying to keep the Minutemen afloat. Only, there's a certain ghoul of a mayor standing in her way… John Hancock x F! Sole Survivor (Available at AO3, uncensored)

This is a slowmance between Hawke and Fenris, but it concentrates on the story of DA2 with lots of twists on the canon (especially the timeline) and not a lot of repeating back events of the game word for word. Rated M for language, violence, and giggity situations. Updated Mondays (Usually)

She's the Herald of Andraste, a Dalish elf, a wild woman that can be tamed by no man. He's the Commander of the Inquisition, an ex-Templar, and struggling between the man he was and the man he wishes to be. A budding romance would likely be squashed under the Inquisition's heel, but somehow it feels worth the risk. (Spoilers All. Rated M for a reason)

"He often teases her, goads her; inciting a reaction from her gives him an indescribable joy. He also dreams of her, of suffocating her with kisses and teaching her how a real man loves his woman." F!Dragonborn/Vilkas, F!Dragonborn/Brynjolf in future chapters. -I do not own Skyrim. Bethesda Studios does.-

The life of the Dragonborn takes a dark turn when she and Serana are discovered in the Volkihar courtyard. The prophecy is the last thing on the Dragonborn's mind when she awakens in chains in front of the lord of the castle. Harkon/F!Dragonborn fic. Full warnings inside.

After Horizon, Joker's had enough of the sulking on board, so he decides to do something about it. It's just too bad for Cerberus that "doing something" means dumping Shepard and Kaidan alone on a dangerous planet to hash out their problems, a planet that one member of the crew is already intimately familiar with. Rated M, mostly for later situations and a whole lot of profanity.

AU story. Hawke flees the chaos in Kirkwall alone, hunted by Mage and Templar alike. After years on the run, Fenris decides he must seek out and kill his former master to truly be free. The two meet for the first time in Minrathous and are inevitably drawn into each other's lives. Battles shared are battles won.

The only woman he'd ever wanted had left him standing at the altar without a backward glance. Six years ago she broke the heart of the man she loved. Leaving Vilkas was the hardest thing the Dragonborn ever had to do, but she had no choice. Now Vilkas was back in her life and it's the last place she wants him because she has a secret she'll protect at all costs, especially from him

Hawke is at her wit's end when it comes to Fenris, and Xenon poses an offer she can't refuse. A miscalculation sends her into a past that is unrecognizable - will she take a step in the direction of understanding, or will she die at the hand of her lover?

The story of Garrus and Femshep as told by me. Lots of off-canon. Sequels incoming. TW: It's been brought to my attention that some of Garrus' more animalistic behavior in some scenes have caused panic attacks for victims of abuse. I am so sorry for anyone who had a similar reaction. SO sorry. I would like to make any new readers aware of this beforehand. Thank you.

Burdened with regret and seeking redemption, this time for a life she failed to save, she finds her way to the Companions and meets Vilkas - a man with his own darkness and regrets; a man who seems untouchable, brilliant, and strong enough to withstand the violent storm that has been her life.

The story of Kathryn Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, spanning all 3 games. Will stray from canon. Rated M for suggestive scenes.

With the Reapers gone, the Leviathans are ready to resume their place as the apex race. One child, Aurora Alenko, threatens that goal, and they want her eliminated. This time the galaxy's races have pledged their aid to stop this from happening, and two human Spectre's once again lead the Resistance. A sequel to 'Struggle'.

Vilkas hated her the moment he met her. She was not worthy of being a Companion. She was not worthy of his brother. Vilkas was storming towards the bridal suite like a hurricane before he knew what he was doing. His face twisted into something that was a cross between a smile and a sneer as one thought raced across his mind: The bride was in for one rude awakening.

Ariella is a scholar from High Rock. How she ended up in Jorrvaskr is beyond her. Spoilers for Companions and Main Quest lines. F!Dragonborn/Vilkas.

Vilkas won't lie; he loathes the newest Harbinger. He has since she walked into Jorrvaskr asking Kodlak to join, and now she's the leader of the Companions. He'd wished that she'd be crushed to dust by a giant before, but that would be too easy. With her disappearing act, stubborn reactions, and unwillingness to do ANYTHING the easy way, he SHOULD hate her, right?

Part 2 of "Eyes on the Horizon". The Dragonborn has broken the bonds she has formed and fled the world and her past. But to escape a fate that is already sealed is impossible, and she will have to return, if only to fulfil her destiny. And perhaps to form her own future. F!Dovahkiin/Farkas

Marion Shepard avoids using her biotics at all costs, scarred from her encounter on Akuze. Her father, dead in the First Contact War, fuels her desire to be the best...as well as her prejudice against turians. Shepard must battle Reapers and her own demons if she is to find peace for the galaxy and for herself. A rewrite of the ME trilogy, FemShep/Garrus.

An attempt is apparently made on Shepard's life and the Normandy crew vow to get to the bottom of it. But not everything's as it seems. The real Jane Shepard is trapped in the Citadel Archives while another usurps her place. -Spoilers for Citadel DLC. Shakarian.- Rated M for violence and language.

He was always considered the wiser of the two, as his fellow Companions had said. But growing up in the halls of Jorrvaskr and being raised to fight has its challenges, and beyond that, bigger things await. The tale of Vilkas from the Companions. Involves the Companion/Main/DB quest lines, and Vilkas/F!Dragonborn later on. M for language, violence, and later sexual content.

Commander Kate Shepard has destroyed the Reapers and the galaxy is safe once more. But as those she left behind struggle to put back together the pieces of their lives, those closest to her soon learn that their Shepard is not lost after all. If she can survive her injuries, she and her crew have a future to chase, and the fallout from her choices will shape them all.

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.

In matters of life and death, it's our journey to understand the universe, ourselves and those we care about that keeps us truly alive. For many that path includes love, loss, betrayal & violence. FemShepXGarrus. Covers time from ME2-3, flashbacks to ME1, graphic.

Aria T'Loak's plan to take back Omega has come to fruition. She asks for Shepard's aid, but requests Shepard help her alone. Garrus isn't about to stand for that. -Major Omega DLC spoilers, with mentions of Leviathan. Shakarian. Rated M for language.-

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

Now Shepard will be forced to deal with the memories of her past as she and her squadmates race to save Mindoir before it suffers the same fate as Thessia. Rated M for language and violence

After being reunited on Omega, Garrus and Shepard are about to realize that their friendship may be turning into something more, and that love really is worth fighting for, worth being brave for, worth risking everything for. AUish, set in ME2. Garrus/FemShep.

3rd story, following Escaping the Past, and Repairing the Present. My headcanon of Mass Effect 3, as Kaidan and Shepard struggle to unite the galaxy and reconnect against overwhelming odds, and Shepard's impending breakdown. There will be a happy ending!

"That's what love does. Turns a guy like me into a nervous wreck, with something to lose and the aim to make sure he doesn't." A one-shot of the aftermath of the Leviathan DLC.

Shepard's in lock-up, the Reapers are coming, and Garrus isn't going to sit idly by while the galaxy is lost. Garnering turian support means returning to Palaven, but returning to Palaven will involve answering questions—and facing stark realities—he's been avoiding for years. Written for the 2012 Mass Effect Big Bang.

When a routine reconnaissance mission goes awry, Shepard and Garrus are pushed to the bounds of their endurance.

Shepard returns from the abyss, but she's broken, and her old friend, Garrus, has spent the last two years in hell. But maybe they can repair the damage... together. Possible game spoilers. Still in progress, continues into ME3 and beyond. Yes, there are sexytimes. Sporadic updates, love-driven writing engine.

Some things are too important to remain forgotten by history. My take on Liara's time-capsule talk, with Shepard roped into recording an entry on their turian squadmate and discovering she may not have been the only one Liara convinced to record an entry...Some fluffy moments between Shepard and Garrus, with some language and implied adult themes.

Hawke came to Kirkwall to protect her family. She isn't ready for the changes ahead or the men who will help her through them: the dwarf who becomes her best friend and the elf she can't resist. Together they'll solve a dark mystery and change Kirkwall.

Explorations, variations and off-camera moments from the Mass Effect 2 storyline. Multiple character POVs.
