A little bit fluffy, Tali and Shepard make a great team when working together. A bit of exploration into how The Normandy's resident power-couple operates. This was a bit more popular than I had anticipated, so I wrote a new chapter, hope y'all like it too (I promise I'll proofread these eventually...). Also renamed the story. As always, comments are constantly appreciated!

Shepard was just a soldier. A soldier thrown into a galaxy wide war of extinction. How would he take this? Tali/Shepard romance. trilogy spanning story . Rated M for the Adult themes later on. Lots of canon, but at the same time, lots of non-canon. ME1 arc in progress.

This is a bit of a of a what-if mystery/romance story. Commander Shepard's birthday is coming up on April 11. I wrote something last year to observe it & thought I'd keep the tradition going. There are 5 parts to this story, it's patterned after an old song titled "The Highwayman." Please let me know if you enjoy it or what you think. Warning: Part 3 is a bit sexy, "M"

Shepard survived the onslaught of the reapers and he has now fully recovered and is aiding with the rebuild of Earth until he gets a message from an old team mate which changes his life, forever.

A game of poker between Tali and the captain she admires reaches its conclusion. She reflects on their previous matches together, and how she learned to love the game. For a story supposedly about poker, it has surprisingly little poker in it.

A short little story for Tali and Shep. After Horizon ME3 Horizon, obviously , Tali gets blind drunk in the lounge. The story picks up there. Tali passes out, and Shep carries her up to the loft to sleep it off. The rest is simply my imagination mixed and the situation of the game. Cover Pic is an illustration from Palavenmoon on Tumblr

Late at night, ending her shift, Tali expected to get to her bunk without interruption, at most giving any Cerberus personnel the cold shoulder. She was NOT expecting to see Shepard up and alone. And being asked to perform an incredibly painful favor.

Project Overlord. As a Cerberus experiment to control the geth spirals wildly out of control, John Shepard, Tali'Zorah, and Legion find they are the only beings who can stop an insane VI from destroying all life in the Milky Way. Final author's notes up.

A series of action sequences, largely devoted to the characters who we don't really think of as warriors. First up, Tali. T rating for now, but when we get to Wrex or Jack that will most assuredly change.

Yes, another Shep/Tali romance thing. Almost exclusive Shep/Tali interactions in between missions, near the end of ME2. Exploration of Shep & Tali's mutual alienness. Mild humor. Rated M for good reasons.

A young quarian is saved by an Alliance soldier. What will happen? And why? And what about these other strange aliens around the soldier? Who are they? UPDATE: Mostly Tali POV, continuing in ME2.

Short Story. An entry in Tali's private journal reveals a bit about Tali's childhood and her life aboard the flotilla.

Another take on the relationship between Tali and Shepard, starting with Mass Effect 1. Rated T for future proofing.

Tali lost her chance to tell Shepard how she felt once before. She decides she won't repeat that mistake.

Some amusing and unrelated stories about the characters and events of Mass Effect. For now, what are those two people in the mess hall always talking about and Shepherd head-butts Wrex. Please read, review, and enjoy.

Tali's hungry. Will the normandy crew finally find out what she looks like when she goes off to eat? Or will chaos reign supreme for them and the poor, unsuspecting quarian?
