A new cult is taking hold of those on the Citadel. Is it the Reapers or something much older?

We don't get to choose where our story begins, where it takes us, and most certainly where it ends. The Reaper War may have ended twenty-five years ago, but aboard the SSV Hippocrates a Spectre takes his first steps on a journey that will decide the fate of a trillion souls.

Two years have passed since the Normandy SR-1 was destroyed. With a new lease on life, Commander Shepard has seemingly impossible tasks ahead: stop the Collectors, then unite the galaxy to stop the Reapers. Still, nobody accomplishes the impossible alone, and lurking in the darkness, threats will challenge the crew to their limits. Shepard POV almost exclusively.

This log will cover the beginning of initial contact with the group of races that form the Citadel Council and is available for public use. Initial report on the expedition to investigate the object now known as relay 314 is currently available

In the years since her family was killed, J.R. Shepard has learned to put the personal aside in favor of the professional. But as the galaxy's crises become her responsibility, as she gathers around her the people who will aid her, she finds a new family, and love that she never expected, and will have to learn how to put the two halves of herself back together.

SAM wanted to experience feelings through her? Well, buckle up, because Sara Ryder had a crapton. Game novelization, liberties taken.

Seven years after the Skyllian Blitz turned her world upside down, Dr. Maggie Shepard has finally put her life back together, finding happiness and peace on Eden Prime. But when the colony is attacked over a recently-discovered Prothean beacon, she is reunited with the one person she's spent the last seven years trying to forget.

When Terra Shepard's home on Mindoir is raided by batarian slavers, her entire family lost, she is left alone. Until she is discovered, rescued, and adopted by turians. Pre-ME1 to post-ME3

An AU featuring two Shepards who were violently separated during the Mindoir raid in 2170. One is the indominable man known as Commander Shepard, The Butcher of Tofan, and a career soldier. The other is presumed dead. When evidence of her survival comes to light, the commander embarks on a mission to find her, with the help of his closest friends. Profile has the full description.

The reapers grand trap is extensive but not all-encompassing, their relay network does not have full coverage of the galaxy, covering at most only 5% of the galaxy. Inside one of these dead zones exists the Sol System and within that lies Earth, the cradle of Humanity, a species that exists outside the reapers plans

Shepard must make one final choice and one final leap before she can finally go to re-join Thane across the sea. (A repost of my attempt to vent my feelings after I finished ME3 for the first time. That ending did me dirty.)

Big things come in small packages. Commander Hale Shepard is proof. With a lighthearted disposition, a pistol for a mouth, and an unorthodox way of doing things that's hardly ever PR-approved, she's made her mark on the galaxy, for good or bad. She's tiny, but mighty, up until a certain asari is within range. Then she's just a smitten dork. [Cross-posted on AO3.]

Mordin and Shepard forge a strange friendship over late-night talks, chess, and language.

Inspired by wondering what if ME 2 had ME Andromeda squad and crew interactions. Explore a Normandy were it has enough mommy, daddy and child issues to be a study in a psychological textbook. These are the semi-serious, semi humorous misadventures of the Crew of the SR2 Normandy.

Shepard goes to check on Garrus after the Sidonis mission.

Sai'ira the daughter of commander Shepard, finds herself locked in a deadly game of shadows in which she must help avoid war between the Citadel and the newly formed Terminus Systems federation.

Shepard has always kept his personal life to himself. With good reason. A life working with the alliance was led by many guidelines. The responsibilities, and freedoms, of being a spectre started to blur those lines. This will follow a similar structure to the game but has undergone serious deviations. MShepXTali

Nobody wants to die. Not even freaks of nature.

Information Regarding the United Commonwealth Of Human Worlds

Humanity was unified by the Pluto Research Council, a forward-looking nation-state dedicated to the advancement of the species via relentless pursuit of knowledge and development. With the discovery of the Charon relay, how will the Scientific Principle guide Humanity into the future? Especially one with a Galaxy full of hostile aliens.

Wrex was quick to search and recover Shepard. Now he works to keep her survival a secret as his people looked for the Normandy. There's just a few problems with that. 1. The alliance wants her and Hackett suspects she's alive. 2. The mass relays and most of the technology-based around them are no longer functioning. 3. Keeping her alive. Where's Vakarian when he needs him?

REPOST. Reality changed with the advent of Humanity on the galactic stage. Relay 314 proved cynics correct in many ways, alien life was the end of our golden age. Innocence was lost, xenophobia followed, rooting itself deep within society. From the ashes of Shanxi arose the Alliance, new protector and unifier of humanity. But so did their rivals. Cerberus.

In the year 2186, disaster struck. A massive enemy force known as the Reapers set to erradicate the entire galaxy of living things. Trillions upon trillions of lives were lost, but all thanks to one woman, Commander Jane Shepard, the war was won. Her sacrifice had given the entire galaxy hope, but one Turian, Garrus Vakarian, still held out hope that the woman he loved had made it.

HMS Isaac Newton and HMS Alexander Fleming open the Shanxi Relay. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. The following course of events would lead to Humanity's first hot war in over a century, a war which could have exploded into full on Interspecies Total War, assuming of course the various human nations could even agree on anything.

We have all seen the ending where Shepard takes a breath after Destroy. Well I desperately wanted my Shepard to live and enjoy her life with everybody's favorite Turian. This story depicts the struggles of a long and hard recovery, from Garrus' point of view. Based on my first playthrough. Rated M for language, alcohol use and adult themes. Enjoy!
