New scars will cover where the old ones are, deep in the back of my throat, and I have never known desperation like I do now, reaching out for you. -Complete-

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?

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.

Everyone knew the deeds of Commander Alya Shepard, yet this is the true story of how she became the Savior everyone knew her to be and how she met the family she made

Maybe it's the traces of venom in her system or maybe it's just him, but this man beneath her - this assassin, feared and infamous for the lives he's taken - swells her heart with trust. It's a new and curious thing, so different from the trust shared between brothers in arms. It's simple intimacy, and maybe… just maybe… something more. Thane/FShep. ONESHOT.

Vetra and Sidera Nyx land on the frontier planet of Mirrard looking to settle down and find a lasting place to call their own. But unbeknownst to them an act of mercy threatens to kill them all after a chance meeting with a member of a clan with a major grievance against Turians. "I did it because you hated them more than you loved me."

Mordin and Shepard forge a strange friendship over late-night talks, chess, and language. Also featuring several chapters exploring other missions and their consequences, and several chapters exploring friendships between other crew members (notably Chakwas and Mordin), and also features multiple still-in-development, author-created languages. Sort of one-shots, sort of not.

Shepard was a complete renegade in her efforts to save the galaxy and it caused a lot of pain in the ones around her. Thankfully she gets a second go at the reapers and she intends to make it count, but old habits die hard, and she might need to rely a lot more on her squad to get her through this.

As humanity and other Council races develop along the path set by the Reapers, a different civilization is born. Developing alongside but separately from other species, isolated from the wider galaxy. An Empire with its own FTL technology, independent of Mass Relays. What will happen if a civilization so different from others in almost every way, joins the Galactic community?

While on the mission of Operation Overlord, the extent of Cerberus' war atrocities becomes clear to Miranda. She knows she owes Jack an apology for being so insensitive. Relationship grows during canon through Mass Effect 2 and 3.

A story through the perspective of one of the most powerful and oldest biotics in the galaxy as she joins Commander Shepard in her fight against the Reapers. FemShep/Liara. Mass Effect and associated characters, and are owned by BioWare and EA. Ishtarte vas Alexandria and Hera Osman are mine.

Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

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

Liara and Liz are always looking for ways to heat up the bedroom. An accidental discovery uncovers one of their true desires.

At the start of 21st century, Earth is attacked by aliens. One human was (un)lucky enough to wait out the turmoil on an alien ship. This is her story. This also is a story of Aria T'Loak who could've excelled in a less righteous society. An AU story. Asari aren't as evolved as we're used to, Quarians aren't as sweet. Other species maybe show up later. M rate for later chapters

The Starboard Lounge of the Normandy probably isn't the best place to make out like hormone-addled teenagers, but Sam Shepard and James Vega feel they deserve a litte downtime. When Kaidan walks in on them, things take an unexpected turn...

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.

Original story and characters based on the Mass Effect game series. Rated M for adult language, themes and/or suggestions. New chapter posted each Monday night-would love reviews

Here is a large chunk of my own Shepard story. It's heavily based on the game, so much of the dialogue will be recognizable, with my own flair added in for spice to fill in a few blanks. FemShep/Garrus I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Would love reviews. Smut start at Ch. 33, fair warned, with open season afterwards. Most are easy to skip over. Or find :)

Now he must find a way to understand his new destiny while attempting to stop a race of machines from eliminating all known organic life. Note: will contain mature themes and some lemons. ShepardxTali

No matter what I have to go through, what I have to endure. I will help Shepard create a better galaxy, even at the cost of my life I will help create a better galaxy. Updates every Saturday.
