A friend had a financially horrid experience caused by a raccoon and a group of us discussed the fact that 'the raccoon did it' is a ridiculous explanation for a lot of damage. The conclusion was 'I should have hit the trash panda,' and I thought this would make an amazing pair of lines for a prompt. SO here goes!

What happens when you throw in the idea of Stellaris, fuse it with Mass Effect, throw in a pinch of Halo, DOOM, and base the main race from LOZ? Madness.

(Femshep) Garrus is concerned about his closest friend when she refuses to allow anyone to be present for the addition of a new name to the memorial board.

Shepard always loved Liara, since the beginning, but never told her anything. After the fall of Thessia and seeing Liara suffering like that, the Commander can't deny his feelings for the Shadow Broker anymore.

Commander Veronika "Nick" Shepard, Hero of the Blitz and Sole Survivor of Akuze, is candidate to be the first human Spectre. She has a loyal crew to help her succeed with her mission, and finds not only camaraderie, but also love. Her relationship with Kaidan Alenko is put through a severe test, though. Canon divergent. Rated M for later chapters.

After being exiled from known space following a disastrous failed colonization attempt, the Migrant Fleet makes First Contact with Earth in 1968. Chaos ensues. AU Historical First Contact, Humans/Quarians.

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.

The history of the quarians, according to my headcanon. How did they end up in those suits, why do their eyes glow? After the end of the Reaper War, Tali discovers secrets on Rannoch and asks Liara for help. Tali and Liara as history nerds and many original quarian characters. This is a story of adventure and discovery, a look into quarian history. Deviates very much from canon.

In the year 2110 PN(pre nemesis) the once thought mythical star of Nemesis returned and was revealed to be a small black hole heading directly towards the sun. In reaction humanity quickly built underground cities while some looked to Mars to do the same, here however they would find mass effect and eventually the reapers would know fear as their cycle falls apart before them.

"I move faster on my own." Where had Shepard heard that before? Oh yes, right here in the cargo bay, maybe 20 times now- she'd lost count. While the Reapers were cruel, reliving this conversation and what comes after over and over - and becoming the butt of the galaxy's cruellest joke - was worse. Now, if only she could just keep this damn turian from dying. Groundhog day time loop

Kaidan's life has never been easy. BAaT nearly drove him to madness, life after was a struggle, but now… Now he is ready. For whatever life tosses at him. Or so he thinks.

Commander Hayden J. Shepard of the SSV Normandy recruits an elite recon squad to cross a turmoiled galaxy in a desperate race to stop the return of an enemy who holds no mercy. To prevent this outcome, Shepard must act outside the limits of the law without remorse and hesitation. Her only imperative is to preserve the safety of civilized life in the galaxy - at any cost.

As we all know, the ending of ME3 majorly sucked. And so I have decided to write myself a good one—without the Catalyst AI at all, keeping with the tone of the Citadel DLC. This piece shows Commander Shepard recovering from her injuries after the events of Mass Effect 3. Includes some Post-Coma!Shepard and lots of Shakarian. This story is parallel to my fanart series on tumblr.

A day in the life of the T'Soni-Shepard children. Post ME short story evolved in the relationship of John Shepard and Liara T'Soni. Enjoy, I hope you like it :)

All who step into war are tested. Those who emerge are changed. Those who do not are consumed. Amidst this hellish crucible, a young man is torn from the life he knows and finds himself amongst a new band of brothers on the crew of humanity's first Spectre. But with time against them, success is uncertain and survival is not assured. Rated for language and violence.

It is the day of their departure, and Sara wakes up doubting the wisdom of their choices. [Rydercest]

[The Paths We Are Given, Part 4] The Reapers have been destroyed, and by some miracle, Rhiannon Shepard has survived. Now begins the work of rebuilding shattered lives as she and Kolyat lean on each other for support.

Basic Mass Effect Rewrite

Post-Synthesis Adventure: The Normandy has returned from the galaxy's edge with Rachaél Shepard's spirit residing within the ship's computer. A new captain has been assigned, along with a new mission. Working with Harbinger, a cloned body for Shepard will be found. Rated 'M' for some content—generally a 'T'; contains some series spoilers. EA/Bioware owns all, except OCs & AU story.

The vast and untamed wilds of the Terminus System was a place ruled by the law of strength and cunning, where a person decides their own fate by the sweat on their brown and the strength of their back. Most importantly, it's a place where someone could go to get lost and never be found again, be it for good or ill reasons. "Hm, The Butcher of Torfan. Fucking pencil pushers."

Shepard pays Thane a visit, but her exhaustion weighs on her.

like many others I was not satisfied with the ending of Mass Effect 3, this is how I think it should have ended, this is a Male Shepard x Tali'Zorah pairing just to let you all know before hand, also this is the first Fan fiction that I have wrote and I don't have much experience in writing so please don't be too hard on me, name of the story is inspired by Another Light by Red Vox
