"Spectres, well, that's what they look for- initiative, sound judgment, a dash of insanity." My novelization of Mass Effect 1, featuring Commander Nathaly Shepard and the rest of the crew, with an eventual Shenko romance. This fic takes a deeper dive into the story and characters, as well as adding or altering some events.

A little Post-Mockingjay tale that not only focuses on our two Victors finally coming together, but in helping each other recover and find a life together. Uses some characters that I introduced in "A Tale of Two Victors." Rated "T" but be warned for eventual "M" chapters! Eventual Everlark! Drama and angst! This franchise is not my property...and reviews are always welcome! Enjoy!

The path to Ilos is long. This leaves plenty of time for Shepard to decide how far she's willing to go, and how many rules she is willing to break. Rated T for slight language, but that is subject to change.

"The sun was rising, fingers of glorious orange, red and yellow crawling across the sky.

"What?" he managed to articulate after a full five minutes, cheeks heating up as she watched him with an amused grin on her face. She was sitting up, arms resting on her knees, a datapad on the mattress between her legs, bed covers kicked down to the very end. "I said…let's get married," she said again, this time more slowly, her lips carefully carving each word.

Set after 2x10. What if Wade said no to Zoe's proposal?

AU. The story of Zoe and Wade during five summers and one final moment. / They meet at fourteen and they hate each other from that moment on. But with such passion, it's easy to understand why hate could become something else.

Oneshot. Mockingjay-Renunion if Peeta hadn't been hijacked.

In a quiet moment before the main assault, Shepard goes to speak with the man she loves, to say one last goodbye...but things don't go completely to plan. A slight re-imagining of the London Encounter in ME3 for the hopelessly romantic Shenko lovers.

Kaidan discovers some mail that Shepard never quite managed to send.

Pre-epilogue Mockingjay. How Katniss and Peeta slowly pick up the pieces and begin again. My version of a fourth book for the Hunger Games series. Secret toastings, lots of plotting, crass drunk Haymitch and even a cake scene.

But when serving with a crew like this, it's not all bad news, all the time. Snapshots of Mass Effect in 1000-word vignettes. (Cover images all belong to Bioware. As with Mass Effect itself, I'm just borrowing them and giving credit where it's due.)
