These stories are just fragments (Blips or One Shots) of Jonathan Shepard through the first three games and his life afterwards. These stories are of Shepard, his family or friend's. What lies ahead for him, his lover and his children? The stories are in chronological order and one will explain another whether it's next or further down the line.

Haunted by his dreams, Commander Shepard and his assembled team are now in a race against time to stop the Collectors. But upon meeting one recruit who'd lived in his memories for almost twenty years, Shepard's entire existance is turned upside down by the truth about who he really is. Jack/Shepard. ME-2 AU. Future M.

Snapshots in the life of John Shepard and Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, from friendship to romance, from hardship to happiness, from life to death. Request-based drabbles. Read intro (first chapter) for rules on making requests. Story complete: no longer accepting requests.

John Shepard is the best of the Alliance. Primed for a spot in the SPECTRE's, his life will quickly turn upside down when the secrets held on Eden Prime are revealed. How will his long term partner, Cerberus' Miranda Lawson, fit into his life when he gets thrust into the spotlight? Shepard/Miri from the start: a retelling of ME1 and beyond.

Shepard just wants to retire and live a happy life with the person he loves: he feels that he's earned that. But the galaxy is not done with him yet, and the new threat on the horizon comes from an unlikely source: Shepard himself.

With the Reapers closing in, Miranda Lawson understands well the magnitude of the threat. But as she breaks free from Cerberus and navigates the perils of a fracturing Systems Alliance, can she reconcile the operative she once was with the woman who's fallen for Commander Shepard? Rated M for graphic violence, language, and strong sexual situations.

Shepard and Tali fight to save the galaxy, but mostly to see each other again. To return to each other and find peace in the aftermath of the reaper battle. But nothing is ever that easy. My take on the ending of ME3. I do not own Mass Effect nor its characters, they belong to Bioware.

Hounded by the Reapers and Cerberus at every turn, Commander Shepard must race against time to unite the different races of the galaxy against a common enemy if they have any hope of surviving the brutal onslaught of a millennia-old foe. But with the stakes for survival this high, some will stop at nothing to see him fail. (Rated M for Language/Violence/Adult Content)

Commander Shepard awakens after months in hospital to be told that the Reapers are gone. Just because the greatest threat the galaxy has ever faced has been defeated, however, does not mean his battles are over. There is one last quest to undertake, but it could cost him the thing he holds most dear. Feedback is much appreciated!

The Reapers have begun their cycle of extinction upon a galaxy unprepared for them. The fate of Earth, and all life, rests in the hands of one man. Shepard must unite everyone to create a galactic armada to fight a war unprecedented in scale against a foe that has never been beaten. However, the Illusive Man, and his rogue organization, Cerberus, have other goals in mind...

Each "mini-episode" of It's the Little Things will delve into the mind of Tali'Zorah as she deals with ordinary life, of which is extraordinary to her as she journeys into the complications of being suit-less on Rannoch after the Reaper War.

After the War, Shepard struggles to move on in his life. With his fears, his friends, and his love, maybe he'll pull through. Rated M for language, violence, and sexual situation. Of course, I do not own Mass Effect or any of its characters, it belongs to BioWare.

Sequel to And the Meek Shall Inherit the Galaxy. On hiatus while author recovers from medical emergency.

The sequel to Warrior Ethos, this is a retelling of ME2. It has ManShep x Tali and FemShep x Garrus, and is designed to be very realistic, etc. A little bit AU. You don't need to read the first story, but it helps. It uses Calinstel's ideas on the quarian culture. Focuses more on the relationships and less on the missions. The information page is a separate story of mine.

A post-ME3 story. A post-destroy ending. Drama and fluff. Laughter and tears. And, in the end, a simple, and hopefully heart-warming story, of a love between two people. Slightly rose-tinted view of a post-war galaxy. Happily Ever After? Mostly focusing on MaleShep / Tali romance and POV.

After he awakens to find his life upended and his friends scattered, Shepard continues the struggle against the hidden enemies that threaten the galaxy while he tries to reclaim the family he lost. M for language, violence, adult content. Being progressively rewritten as new chapters are added.

SPOILERS After the Battle of the Citadel, Tali and Shepard finally get some time to discover themselves...and each other. But can they make this work? Will they live to even have the chance?
