If Emilia Shepard had known what was waiting for her aboard the SSV Normandy, she might have never walked through the airlock. But for all the struggles ahead, she has a good ship and a good crew. ME1, Paragade Shepard. Multiple character POVs, expanded minor crew and a focus on the off-camera moments. Contains a great deal of codex entries. Slowburn f!Shepley.

What happened in the hours before and after endgame? Mass Effect: ONE tells that tale through the eyes of Mass Effect's most memorable characters, each with one mission, to help finish what Shepard started: defeat the Reapers. Each of Shepard's actions has shaped the person they have become. Now, her final action will shape their decisions and affect their lives.

A united galaxy has defeated the Reapers but worlds are left in ruin; every race now turns to recouping their losses as they mourn their dead. Shepard, her family and her friends also begin their recoveries, each fighting their own personal battles while they strive to prevent a fractured galaxy from falling back into chaos — and to secure their own 'happily ever after' ending.

Despite their best efforts to defeat the enemy, the inevitable happens. Reapers appear and throw the galaxy into chaos. Shepard struggles to regain lost trust, resolve centuries-old wars, and overcome the machinations of a madman hell-bent on derailing their best efforts to unite a divided galaxy before all is lost. Is the love of one Asari strong enough to hold it all together?

After disappearing for two years and waking up amidst an age-old enemy, Shepard fights to regain what she has lost - the trust of the Alliance, some of her dearest friends and her lost love. With a new Normandy, a Cerberus crew and self doubts raised by the improbability of her own continued existence, Shepard must battle humanity's newest emerging enemy, the Collectors.

Raised by military parents, Shepard knew she would serve; honor & duty a part of her soul. A natural born leader, fiercely independent, she has a hard time sharing control or responsibility with anyone. As a new galactic threat emerges, she must learn how to share the burdens of war before she is buried by them. A shy Asari archeologist might just be the one to teach her...

Some AU elements. What if Alex and Ash grew up together? I am keeping ALL the best bits and tweaking others. This story is focused on their relationship and their family and friends. This story will cover all three games (and possibly beyond) I hope you enjoy the ride. Warning: slash (not graphic) and violence.
