LT Nathan Briggs was on his way to N school before being transferred to Alliance HQ in Vancouver, on guard duty. Commander Shepard was probably one of the last people in the galaxy he wanted to meet. My take on ME3. Rated M for language, violence and suggestive themes. Also will contain some major character death.

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Ain't that the cold, hard truth. When everything inevitably does go wrong, strong men and women get to work and refuse to accept any other outcome, no matter how bleak. As those men and women, we'll be running into a lot more questions than answers, but then again... scientific minds thrive off discovery and problem-solving.

The Reapers have arrived. The war has begun, and already the galaxy crumbles. Reunited with old friends, aided by new allies, Shepard finally finds herself face-to-face the enemies she's dreaded for years...while keeping Cerberus at bay with one hand. (Cover images all belong to Bioware. As with Mass Effect itself, I'm just borrowing them and giving credit where it's due.)

AU:(No reapers, Humanity lost first contact war) John Shepard is abducted from his home and sold as a slave. When a strange power awakens within him, he sees this as the chance to destroy "the alien oppressor". However he learns that the galaxy isn't so black and white. Meanwhile forces conspire in the shadows of the galaxy, and he must decide if freedom is the right of all beings.

Losing everything seems to be the most likely outcome. Returning to his sister seems like a promise he can't keep. Joining the Cross Species Special Ops Program probably is the best thing he could do for the galaxy, but will it be enough? And when all is threatened, could there be a diamond in the rust? My take on the Reaper War, featuring a cast of original characters.

Emilia Shepard wakes up missing her ship, crew and two years of her life. Stuck in an alliance with her enemies, she struggles to deal with her own death and the mistrust of her government and the woman she loves. But someone has to stop the Collectors, right? Novelisation of a reimagined ME2, past Ashley/Shepard.

Newly promoted Lieutenant Sebastian Shepard becomes entangled in a bitter struggle between a ruthless Warlord and an enigmatic Asari Spectre and her entourage that happens to include his possibly psychotic childhood sweetheart and a rather secretive Krogan. Oh, and his older brother is destined to become the savior of the galaxy.

Post Trilogy. It's been 5 years since the destruction of the Reapers, Macha Shepard is dead. Following her death, her crew disbands. A new faction alarms Liara T'Soni and she calls upon the help of Garrus Vakarian. What is Charon? What's their connection to Cerberus? With the recent deaths of those with connection to Shepard, is the new group deadlier than their previous human cent

Coming back from the dead was bound to have complications. Is a fresh start preferable to bringing your fears and regrets with you? Especially when your eyes glow red and your face is marred by the damage you've suffered along the way. ME2 through the eyes of the Commander himself.

Gamma River. A young girl from the colony of Horizon, her life was just normal with her parents until the Reapers attacked the colony. Waking up on the citadel, confused and alone, can the help of commander Shepards crew help her find her parents and can Gemma be helped to realise she's a lot more powerful then she ever knew. *Disclaimer: Bioware own all rights*

Garrus is betrayed. Ten men are dead on Omega. The gangs are already rebounding. Archangel is an unmitigated failure. After everything, there's no reason Garrus should be alive, but sometimes, people get what they don't deserve. "Just like old times," Garrus says, but it's not. It never will be again. An ME2 novelization. M for violence. Feat. Beth Shepard from The Disaster Zone.

A mostly canon-compliant, somewhat abbreviated, definitely self-indulgent re-telling of Mass Effect 2 from Garrus' perspective. As a Spacer Sole Survivor, it was always hard for my Shepard to swallow working for Cerberus in any capacity. Maybe TOO canon-compliant, with lots of dialogue from the game. Some additional scenes, some minor romance deviations to increase DRAMA. ;)

Jack Shepard must deal with the threat of his family crumbling as an ancient evil draws ever closer. Rated M for violence, language. No lewds this time, everything belongs to EA & BioWare.

Alliance Captain fallen from honor, but still bound by duty. Discovers what he's living for.

In a surprise attack on the SSV Normandy, The First Human Spectre, Commander Shepard, was killed. Leaving his crew heartbroken and lost. With his death, the Galaxy allowed the threat of the reapers slip from memory. Restored to life by sworn enemies, the Commander begins the fight anew. Tali'Zorah/MShep romance. Slow burn. M for language, gore, more. Cover art by Palavenmoons

The year is 2214. A weary galaxy festers. Military privatization has become the norm in a new economic depression. A malicious plan, decades in the making, has finally been set into motion. The only one who can stop it? Roahn'Shepard and a team of some of the most extraordinary individuals the galaxy has ever seen. Fear. Agony. Hatred. Roahn's lethal nightmare begins!

War. A state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state. It could mean many things whether it would be a nation against a nation. A race against another race, or in this case, a battle of survival against a threat that would strip you of everything you ever loved or known. I am Valora Alvara, this is my story.

What if instead of SAM, Ryder had a significantly more powerful, and far more sinister sidekick to roam Andromeda with?

Shepard had made it through the war, and somehow found herself alive in the end, but what she'd had to do to make it through... It'd changed her. Eager to start a new life, desperate to make a positive impact on a more personal level, Shepard adopted two children. Her life is starting to come together, but eventually she'll have to deal with the scars she let fester for too long.

[The Paths We Are Given, Part 3] Illium, 2173. Thane wakes up in an abandoned warehouse, badly wounded, and with an inexplicable hole in his memory. He seeks help from a friend to investigate, but soon finds himself the subject of a sadistic plot. The hunter has become the hunted, but she doesn't just want him dead. She wants him broken. TW: Graphic violence, rape.

"Synthesis is the final evolution of all life." That's what the Catalyst claims, but it's really not all that it's cracked up to be. After being forced into this 'evolution', Jordan Sower ends up in Mass Effect with two purposes: Save the Galaxy and Synthesize all life. But he doesn't take orders from the Catalyst! Follow Jordan as he tries to change things for the better. Maybe.

The story of Mass Effect, while an excellent space opera, never took full advantage of the capabilities of its setting. Let's fix that, the stars will move, and the galaxy will tremble! No force, neither stagnant, galactic ascendancies nor ageless mechanical monstrosities will stand in the way of the future's implacable march… For better or worse.

It's not every day that Commander Shepard gets a message from C-SEC saying 'your presence is needed in regards to a rampage in a hotel lobby by a krogan wielding a giant sex toy.' A one-shot humor piece.

My version of Mass Effect 1. First part of a series that will eventually span all three games plus the period between 1&2. Will aim at showing broader picture of what's going on as opposed to just the Normandy. Pairing is MShep/Liara, eventually. See my profile for a more indepth description.

From the ruins of the old world rose the Greater Terran Union. A regime built on the indomitable will of humanity and entrusted with the sacred duty to ensure that never again will the existence of man be threatened.
