OSaBC II : That Which Cannot Die by
LogicalPremise reviews
My AU retelling of the events in ME2, with a completely new take on Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, and the Collectors. Examines the themes of what exactly constitutes death and life, the line between revenge and self-hatred, and how small amounts of light can shine in every darkness. Not a happy ending. Includes my takes on Overlord and LotSB. Rated M for language and violence.

Something Blue by

An alternate perspective on a renegade Commander Shepard, why she fights, and what she lives and dies for. Spans from ME1 through ME3. FemShep/Liara pairing, non-explicit. Rated M for adult situations and just to be on the safe side.

Living an Indoctrinated Dream by
Aberron reviews
Sending Shepard back in time? Inefficient. Unlikely to produce significant changes to timeline. Sending the Illusive Man back in time? Difficulty level has increased. Jack Harper, The Illusive Man, is back where it all started. New Cerberus, New plan, and the Reapers watching, always watching. Sending a Hero back in time does nothing; Sending back this guy? Priceless. AU.

No Single Raindrop by
LogicalPremise reviews
Liara T'Soni attempts to gather her mother's wisdom and thoughts on siari, Athame, asari culture, asari philosophy, and some biographical material to recreate and publicize Benezia's tenets of belief. An exploration of rarely discussed parts of asari culture. Rated M for some sexualized references and Aethyta's mouth. Irregular updates.

Mankind has survived its crucible, and while scarred and changed by the Ethereals, they advance into the cosmos. The galaxy beyond is a place of wonder and terror, of wealth and strife.

Love Which Never Had A Chance To Blossom by
Galactic Alien reviews
Councilor Tevos was always attracted to people with dark personalities and bright fire within them... and now, her latest crush is Commander Jane Shepard, the first human Spectre. Unfortunately, Fate is cruel, and the Reapers will not give a slightest chance for full blown romance to blossom. One-sided Tevos/F!Shepard, one-sided Liara/F!Shepard, past Aria/Tevos. No happy end here.

This Side of Tomorrow by
Raven Sinead reviews
Loss is not a fixed moment in time. It is its own creature; gnawing, ravenous, unceasing and merciless in its devouring. Facing loss can make you one of two things. It can make you bitter, or it can make you kind. It...did not make me kind. Sequel to "This Side of Yesterday" - A retelling of ME2 through the eyes of Liara T'Soni. First and third person POV. F!Shepard/Liara.

Ascension by
thebluninja reviews
Heavily AU. Thanks to a cold, humanity never discovers the Prothean ruins on Mars, and barely develops Mass Effect technology. They step out onto the galactic stage after the Reapers have harvested every other species, and find the crumbs left behind by the turians, asari, and salarians. Now they must adapt to fight a foe who won't be seen for far longer than human history.

Of Sheep and Battle Chicken by
LogicalPremise reviews
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.
