In 2157 a Citadel Council exploratory vessel is tasked with opening a dormant Relay into unknown regions of the galaxy. What they find is something they never expected. What happens when two civilizations centered around different technologies clash?

AU First Contact War. It was 48 years of endless slaughter and death. And from the pain and suffering of such unprecedented conflict, emerged an unprecedented plot, born of hate, to bring it all to an end...

A new race was discovered and annihilated. A century passed and Citadel space forgot, but Humanity never did.

A continuation of the Alternative Universe story in "Of Sheep and Battle Chicken," as Major-Commander Shepard deals with her promotion, a series of threats that could take down the government of the SA, and the ramifications of humanity joining the Council. Includes Pinnacle Station and Bring Down the Sky. M for language and violence. FShep/Liara. Coauthor Progman. Now complete.

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.

What if, Shepard didn't truly die at the beginning of Mass Effect 2? What if the Collectors didn't -quite- succeed in killing her? What if, she took Alchera's cold to heart? Let's find out... Read & Review, Please!

With only a few years removed from the great battle, a new generation of Na'vi has arisen, led by the son of Toruk'makto Jake Sully, and they are eager to finish the battle their parents began. While divisions begin to appear amidst the Na'vi, the humans of Tartarus remain wary for any sign of aggression, and are more than ready to make the first strike, should it be called for...

Mass Effect is a great game. A fun game. But the fun and games stop when it all becomes real...when I find myself on the Citadel, with the terrible knowledge of what's coming. Can one person really make a difference? I'm sure as hell going to try, because the Reapers aren't taking over this galaxy on my watch.

Victory is only the beginning. Shepard and Liara, their friends, families, allies, enemies, and the fate of the united galaxy after the end of the Reaper War. Gritty, sciency, often funny or teary, sometimes sexy. …And always hopeful.

The fate of post-war Seattle rests in the hands of an amnesiac mercenary and her slave. They have other concerns.
