Following Kaidan's and Shepard's love story through the ME universe in slightly different views and ways. Rated M for a reason. Bad summary, but give the story a chance! Ch37: Start of ME2.

It was supposed to be a simple shakedown cruise. It was so much more. She was supposed to be his Commanding Officer. She became so much more. How could Kaidan Alenko know this one mission would change his life so completely? How could he know this one woman would alter the course of his future so fully?

Reyes Vidal and Sirius Ryder are drawn to each other from the moment they meet; all it takes is a single flirty date for their defenses to come crumbling down and for them wind up in bed together. It feels right. But Reyes is keeping secrets, dangerous secrets, and some secrets have a way of hurting the people we love in the ways we least expect.

"Franky Shepard had the kind of smile that seemed always on the verge of laughter, but the kind you couldn't share in public. She had a smile for lovers." - Shepard and Kaidan – sore muscles, tender hearts.

Injured and grounded on Earth after defeating the Reapers, Shepard decides that cutting ties with James Vega is the only way for her to deal with her feelings for the young lieutenant. After all, she is a shadow of her former self and he can't possibly feel the same way about her...could he? Post-ME3 angsty fluffy romance! (Femshep/Vega - Rated M for a reason!)

It's the morning after Allegra Shepard, Kaidan Alenko and James Vega spend their first night together and Shepard shows the boys that she has no second thoughts about the previous night. NSFW!

The battlefield is not a typical place to find love but that does not stop Major Nathaniel Coats for falling for the legendary Commander Shepard. Starts off during war, continues post-war. Slight AU. Some spoilers for ME3 but changes have been made. A gift fic for my dear friend SparklyQuarians with help from fellow writer PiperSqueak.

James Vega had dreamed about Rennah Shepard for years and always hoped to meet her, but when he's tasked with keeping her safe on Earth he gets more than he bargained for; she's argumentative, stubborn and sexy as sin. Joining the crew of the Normandy, fighting the Reapers and falling in love was never part of the plan... (Vega/FemShep - Rated M for a reason)

Kaidan Alenko is welcomed back home after a mission by Allegra Shepard and James Vega. NSFW!

Everyone agreed, the daughter of Jeff 'Joker' Moreau and Commander Arelia Shepard would be a handful. With her mother's determination and stubbornness and her father's attitude how could she not be. But her family couldn't see her as anything other than adorable and they were there when she needed them. Set in the Out of Destruction universe, six years after the war.

The Reapers have been dealt with, and so too their creators. It should mean that Shepard and Kaidan can have a little peace. But something else lurks in the background that threatens to tear them and the galactic community apart. Follows 'Struggle' and 'Resistance'.

The war is long over, most of those who fought it gone beyond mortal boundaries. James is one of the few still remaining but his time has come. It's time to join his Lola. Rated M for character death. Bioware owns all things Mass Effect, this is purely a fan thing.

James Vega has been enjoying a relationship with the woman of his dreams, Aria Shepard, since the end of the Reaper War. There comes a point, however, when it's time to meet the parents, and today is that day. Today, James Vega will be meeting Rear Admiral Hannah Shepard. He has no reason to be nervous, does he? Just a fluffy short story; Rated M for a reason.

It's 2186, and the Reapers have attacked. Major Coats learns of the true nature of the Reapers and joins forces with Admiral Anderson, and together they set out to combat this ancient enemy and hold out as they prepare for Shepard's eventual return.

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'.

Commander Shepard finds Kal'Reegar close to death in a isolated part of Noveria. She takes him onto the Normandy to nurse him back to health. Still feeling guilty over the loss of his squad, it's up to Commander Shepard to show him, he's Kal'Reegar, the best and baddest damn marine in the galaxy. AU with notable ME 3 moments. Based on Prompt.

Lt James Vega is a lost paragon. His past mistakes consume him, and he cannot see a way to return from the dark place he has fallen into. He wants to matter, to do something worthwhile, to be a hero. He wants to be like Commander Shepard. So when he is given the chance to help Shepard in her time of need, he feels that perhaps he can make a difference after all.

Second chances. He'd never believed in them but now he had one. Was he brave enough to use it? Could he be good enough? Would she feel the same? A Shoker story. Rated M for language, these are marines and probably future smut.

Joker had been given a second chance and he didn't waste it. Now he had something so precious it seemed like a dream. He promised to always be there, it was a promise he intended to keep. Bioware owns everything Mass Effect, I'm just adding bits.

[Pairing: femShepxJoker] - Takes place in ME3. 'Dat' Purgatory bar scene and takes off from there. *Update* New Chapters 12 & 13 are up. R&R

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

Shepard isn't quite the stable commander Joker remembers, and he's surprised to be the one helping her pick up the pieces. Follows the events of ME2, focusing on non-game scenes. NEW chapter: Epilogue.

The public persona of Commander Shepard is a myth: unbreakable, undeniable, unstoppable. In truth, she's a human being who needs someone, just as much as the galaxy needs her. Jeff "Joker" Moreau has confidence in his flying skills, and little else. Can these two emotionally-impaired soldiers find happiness with one another? *Cover art used with permission of blackdragon21*

There were a lot of firsts in Kaidan Alenko's life, some he remembered, some he didn't. Others he could never forget.

They have been kept apart by space, time and even death but their feelings for each other haven't changed. Set between ME2 and into ME3 and the coming together of Shepard and Alenko with a little help from unexpected sources.

James' mind was stuck back on Fehl. Then he met Shepard.

They have been married for almost thirty years and Shepard wanted to do something special for Kaidan's birthday but could she go through with it and would he like it. One shot from an idea I had in my head. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

An erotic love story that follows the progression of behind-the-scenes events after James Vega makes good on his flirtations with Commander Shepard. Plot gets moving around Ch10. Includes alternate *happy* ME3 ending. Rated M for tasteful but intimate love scenes.

Aralia Shepard came to the realisation that she felt something for her wise cracking pilot. Did he feel something too? A one shot about coming together. Adult themes.

Commander Shepard isn't one to be confused. However, after the events on the remote colony of Horizon, she has no choice but to accept the things she does not want to face, and have the courage to start life anew. Pairing: F!Shep x Joker
