The Migrant Fleet traders came to Mindoir hoping for a chance to open overtures with the new people called 'humans'. A rare opportunity to build connections untouched by the cold hand of the geth war and the blame other races placed on the quarians. Instead they found ruin and death. And a little girl. Who, like them, now had nowhere to call home. (AU: Shepard Raised by Quarians)

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.]

The Universe is now safe from the Reaper's Harvest, but can peace be protected after rumors of rebellion flow through the Galaxy and somewhere in space a powerful new enemy awaits. A/N I don't own Mass Effect.

The galaxy has been shattered. A malevolent foe has achieved what the Reapers could not do: eradicate all hope. But there are those that still resist, that push back in the face of futile odds. It will now be up to Shepard and Tali's daughter - Roahn - to figure out a way to restore that hope, unite their lost allies, and pursue their enemy to the universe's very edge.

Kahje's Compact did not come accepted by all. There were those who fought against it and what it threatened….

ME2- After surviving the Omega Four Relay mission, the Normandy returns to find the galaxy in political turmoil. Cerberus has been exposed, humanity has lost its council seat, and the geth offer a peace that no one seems to desire. To complicate matters, the Reapers are coming. Most characters present. AU as it invalidates Mass Effect 3. (Re-edit in progress w/fixes and new scenes)

The war is over. The Reapers were defeated. Now, centuries after, both Shepard and Liara has the perfect life. (Basically Shepard can live 1000 years and lives with Liara for centuries now.)

Before Shepard goes back to Earth to face charges against her by the Alliance, she and Garrus decide to make the most out of their last day together. Garrus/FShepard! Rated M for sexual content, mostly.

In the aftermath of Thessia, Councilor Tevos receives an unexpected visit. A short, sweet one-shot in which Shepard and Tevos are closer than anyone realized. Now being continued as a series of vignettes chronicling the unlikely relationship between the Asari Councilor, and the first human SpecTRe.

Ru winds up almost 200 years in the future to join the Normandy crew and their fight to stop the reapers. Will she find her own place among the crew, a place in the galaxy, or even love? His is a story through an OC POV.

AU, ME1. Main changes are to humanities biology. Same universe as 'Bloody Path to the Stars'. After coming onto the galactic scene in a short but bloody war, Humanity has a meteoric rise. Now another hurdle is being jumped. A human is being seriously considered as a possible spectre, but this human will be more important than anyone realizes.

The combat drone installed in the omni-tool Cerberus gave to engineer Evangeline Shepard is a sophisticated piece of equipment, and there aren't a lot of safeguards isolating it from other systems in Shepard's omni-tool or within Normandy's servers. The combat drone's journey to sentience. Part poetry, part prose, part experimental. Multiple POVs. S/G and J/E, but isn't relevant.

Isekaid away by cyoa.

The Citadel Council and the Turian Hierarchy has been at war for a good half of a century. Eager to break the stalemate, The Hierarchy seeks out a new ally in a rising Systems Alliance, bringing the war back to full speed. The Alliance now goes through it's trial by fire, as it emerges from obscurity into the galactic stage. (AU no Krogan Rebellions/First Contact Wars)

He was just a kid from earth. Who would've thought that 11 years later he gets sent on the most important mission in human (and galactic) history. Will Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy be able to defeat Saren in the race against time? Takes place before and during Mass Effect 1. (Earthborn/Sole Survivor/Soldier/Default MShep).

Against all odds, Shepard wakes up. [Post ME3 control ending Garrus/F!Shep, finished, updates weekly.]

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.

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong", the old saying goes. Survivors of a freak accident that took place in 2023, two brilliant scientists are recruited into Alliance Task Force "Cerebellum" to work on cutting-edge technology alongside other talented minds. Little did they know, their work would slowly end up reshaping the galaxy as an ancient enemy emerged from dark space.

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. I will be attempting to maintain a weekly upload.

What if you have to be cast into darkness in order to find the light? When the Harbinger of a relentless army looms just beyond the Horizon and the world is on the brink of war, it is up to a broken hero and a fallen Archangel to turn the tides. Except they are not what they used to be.. Driven by action, blood and ungodly sarcasm; M for language & sexy scenes. Uh wait. That's smut

Tali'Zorah was just looking for a worthy pilgrimage gift, but is sucked into the adventure of her liftime instead. At the helm: Commander Shepard, greatest hero of the Alliance. But with a life of violence and loss behind him and the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders, Tali soon finds that perhaps John Shepard needs her just as much as she needs him... Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

I think we can all agree waking up as a guy in a woman's body would be jarring to say the least. Waking up as an asari? Horrifying. But waking up as what I had the incredible misfortune to be... Let's just say I wouldn't bet on me surviving long enough to see the Reapers make their grand debut. Asari SI, starts just before ME1.

A requested story. Tali'Zorah was not sure how she felt about her Commander during their fight against Saren, but when she made up her mind, he was already gone. After two years of that trauma keeping her couped up in the Flotilla, she finally decides to take on a mission. And who should appear but John Shepard? Covers ME2.

What if humanity was diplomatically isolated from the Citadel races, left to fend for itself against the Batarians and other threats? This is an AU story of a humanity forced to struggle and fight for its place in the stars, with many points of divergence and some pretty significant changes made to the background lore. Contains violence and some mature themes.

"You made his life better, like you've made mine better. I've got your six."
