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 :)

Alex Ramon Shepard is your typical N7 operative. That is until the data from a lost race is implanted in his mind. 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

This is a Shakarian AU fic where Fem Shep and Garrus are asked to go undercover as fake fiancée's to find dirt on a high-rolling crime syndicate and of course, end up finding love in the most unlikely of places: each other. {M rating for language and suggestive content}

This is the full rewrite of the original Interloper, first posted almost ten years ago. Summary: Follow the adventures of Michael Liddle as he quite literally falls into the ME universe. A self insert covering the events of the first entry of the series. Follows the story of the Normandy crew and more as they strive to save a changing galaxy.

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? (Updated: Book 1 Chapter 1 Latest : Book 2 Chapter 6.3)

Lieutenant Commander Shepard didn't know that she was never supposed to be on the Normandy, much less receive visions from the beacon on Eden Prime. But Fate, it seems, is a fickle mistress, and now she finds herself chasing a rogue Spectre across the galaxy. A re-imagining of ME1 with additional content that expands on the events of the game.

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.

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.

A journal and transcript of armor logs compiled by Garrus Vakarian and Liara T'Soni to tell the story of the one who saved the galaxy from the Reapers.

With the Reapers at the galaxy's edge and Jane Shepard incarcerated, Aria T'loak finds her relationship with Cerberus becoming ever more complicated. Forced to turn to the Illusive Man for help in the face of tragedy, the spiraling politics between the two parties seems to lead to only one conclusion. Violence. Sequel to All Creatures Great and Small. Non-canonish.

Liara T'Soni has no idea what she's getting into by pursuing Liz Shepard. Despite warnings, she's determined to get as close as she can possibly be to the angry Spectre.

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.

Amid the frenzy of the first settlements Stephanie Ryder and Pelassaria B'Sayle (aka Peebee) find each other for some much needed stress relief. But is that truly all they need? M for smut. A lot of smut.

The Systems Alliance has came calling for Lieutenant Commander Havil Shepard to be humanity's hero once more, but fate intervenes before she can prove herself worthy of a role she doesn't want. When the rogue agent Saren crosses her path, it's nevertheless up to her to protect the galaxy by keeping fragile alliances-and herself-together. Femshep/Kaidan.

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.

A rewrite of one of my older stories: The Challenger Deep is the deepest part of the ocean, and for millions of years has kept its secrets for itself. In the year 1960 a team of scientists made the first dive to the Challenger Deep. What they discovered was something that would forever change the course of human history.

Falling in love is a slow process, influenced by the events and people around you. Mass Effect is such a big universe, that we don't get to spend much time seeing these relationships form. This is a "Missing Moments" type fic centered around John Shepard and Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, their budding romance, and how those aboard the Normandy work and live together through hell.

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.

In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down. Profile has full description.

"If you have ever lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels, and if you haven't, you cannot possibly imagine it." - Lemony Snicket

Cerberus has brought Shepard back from the dead, but she doesn't remember who she is or how she got there. Until she sees Liara.

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)

The Citadel Council - an organization tasked with maintaining the peace, stability and prosperity of the known galaxy. It is a task they had mostly excelled at since the Krogan Rebellions. The Councilors have the weight of the galaxy upon their shoulders and have to constantly balance the needs and interests of their governments and people... Competent Council AU.
