This story is an immediate sequel to Mass Effect: The Heart Wants. I highly recommend you read that story first. Commander Shepard and Tali'Zorah have realized they have feelings for each other. They decide to explore these feelings by spending time together. Shepard plans the perfect first date, which goes as well as Shepard's plans typically go.

Flirty, friendly and eager to please, Comm Specialist Samantha Traynor is slowly getting to know her co-workers, while entertaining herself as she works and trying to find her feet aboard the Normandy.

The world could always use more heroes... If he even fits the bill.

The war is over, but Shepard's recovery is not. When she gets tired of lying in a hospital bed, Garrus volunteers to become her live-in nurse while she recuperates in a borrowed house. After sharing heat sinks, medi-gel, and war stories for years, they now share a home, a life, and eventually, a bed. A friends to lovers post-ME3 Shepard/Garrus story.

(Kinda AU): Shepard is just a tired doctor, working on Omega, who wants nothing more than to curl up, watch her favorite elcor soap opera and eat the best Asari-Asian cuisine that the station has to offer. However, on her way home, she finds a mysterious, wounded turian that goes by the moniker, Archangel.

MacCready's new traveling partner has a lot of misconceptions about the world, but this is one he simply cannot let her keep.

The Great War ended and began the morning of Saturday, October 23, 2077.

Released into a hell she could not understand, Evangeline, the eight year old niece of Nate and Nora Clawson begins her journey to reunite her family.

Sara Ryder was a little bit of a mess, so leading a crew of outcasts and misfits seemed right up her alley when inheriting a galaxy's worth of responsibilities in Andromeda. Through the mysteries and chaos of Heleus though, she's got her own sordid past to sort out and work out. And at the heart of it all, one incorrigibly curious science officer could be Ryder's salvation...

Scenes from the Shepard/Liara romance throughout the games and beyond. There is sex but none of it is particularly graphic though the ladies seem to be in bed together a lot. Not much plot to speak of but hopefully, taken together, the pieces tell the story of their relationship, how it develops and how it changes throughout the course of the games and beyond.

Post ME3. Shepard struggles to find a way through the pain. Liara struggles to reach her. Thank you for your indulgence, this is just a rambling exercise, a bit out of my comfort zone. (All credit where it's due: Bioware owns ME and these characters.) Rated M for very good reasons.

Cold, hungry, and wet, they make camp in a cave Jess knows and get comfy for the night. In the process, they learn more about each other. It's hard growing up gay in a conservative area, and the cult just made it worse. Hurt/Comfort some shipping. JessXfem!Deputy

A meeting of two strangers at Dark Star Lounge. A spark of friendship, a flare of something more. How does one find another in a whole new cluster?

Liara fell in love with her slowly, but all too easily. There was just so much about Shepard she adored.

Oneshot post game, Sara is suffering a bout of sleeplessness and wanders the Tempest. That's all there is to it! Suvi/Sara isn't the focus but of course features (why wouldn't I write about them? XD). Titles and summaries aren't my strong points... Inspired by my own insomnia :P

Just what it says on the label. A little something involving my favorite Andromeda pairing.

Little insights into Ryder/Suvi's developing relationship - as told from the Tempest Med Bay. No idea how long this will be or how many chapters...stay tuned

Suvi isn't exactly questing for Sara's affections (that would be unprofessional!), but, hey, if it happens, who is she to deny it? Following the game plot with various other shenanigans thrown in there. All characters present with eventual Suvi/Sara (because, come on, they're adorable!)

"Where the hell did the Illusive Man find you?" "Eh, we just kind of... dropped in."

The optional sequel to "Tranquility." During a trip to Palaven, Garrus thought that the smuggling bust operation he was asked to help with would be simple and straightforward. However, a discovery during the bust would not only shake Garrus to the core, but could also potentially change his and Shepard's lives.

They met in a bar. AU. Fluffy one-shot because you guys really need more of these.

Originally a re-imagining of the tali-shepard reunion in ME3, slowed it down, made it (what I think) to be a bit more realistic. It's since gone a little beyond that, exploring their relationship more. Still actively writing, trying to post a new chapter every week or so! Please comment, I live off of feedback. Enjoy!

Joan spent two years dead; brought back to life to fight the Collectors, her connection with Cerberus has cost her a very important relationship. Lost in her confusion and irritation, the mysterious assassin, Thane Krios, catches her eyes. Her heart, as well as her mind are tested in this story of love, courage, and forgiveness.

Sara wants to show Suvi that there's more to Andromeda than what she sees from her seat on the Tempest. Written with endgame spoilers and default Sara Ryder in mind, because calling your partner by only their last name or title all the time is just weird.

With the addition of Shaun into her life, Curie struggles to make a connection with the boy. Desperate to figure out a way for them to coexist, Curie shuts herself away in her lab to get her mind off things.

A collection of one-shots with F!Shep/Thane taking place mostly between the ending of ME2 and the Arrival DLC. t's going to be a healthy mix between romance, fluff, friendship, and angst. Rating changed to M. COMPLETE!

Shepard and Miranda, after.

Knowing how many lives would be extinguished by her choice was a heavy burden, but it was one she was willing to bear for the remaining moments of her life. Shepard had chosen to destroy the Reapers and leave the woman she loved without ever telling the thief her true feelings.

Some heroes are born, others are made. Regardless of their origins, one thing is certain. No matter their reality, their past, or their unique circumstance, as long as there are those willing to fight in defense of the weak and the oppressed, true heroes will never die.

"Liara doesn't know what to make of the Commander. She was impossibly large, seeming to occupy the entire horizon. A pale scar stretched across the dark skin of her face, starting from a solid jaw and ending just below the line of closely cropped hair. The woman was intimidating, or, should be. Except she was smiling." / Or, Liara's slow process of falling in love. Set in ME1.
