While waiting to arrive on Ilos, Liara asks Shepard who are those two people in the photograph at her work desk. Shepard tells the story of two people from her past.

An intergalactic threat discovered by the crew of the Normandy is dismissed. A terrorist organization Cerberus seeks out its Commander Shepard for help at any cost... Jack/mshepard Ash/Mshep a view of the struggle of the Normandy from the perspectives of the first human Spectre and his crew.

Part 2/3: Our dynamic duo boards the Normandy and begins training with the crew you know and love-who quickly realizes there is more going on here than mere collegial cooperation. Original story and characters based on the Mass Effect game series. Rated M for adult language, themes and/or suggestions. New chapter posted each Mon night-would love reviews, comments, suggestions!

Living in a provincial life in the philiphines lydia montenegro is a God-fearing young woman who wanted to be reunited with her distant husband, and becomes a domesticated immigrant worker to the citadel,and searched of any possible clues of his whereabouts,and sometimes...people, want something. Note:Smut in the future chapters/including other relationships with the ME char.

Wrex's contract into Fist leads him to a new opportunity with a Spectre. He never really thought about any relationships or mates due to the genophage but he's drawn to Shepard. She's a fierce warrior who doesn't take crap from anyone. Their relationship remains platonic but it's a struggle with their sexual tension that could never bloom. Her love for Liara makes things difficult

Book II of my overall Mass Effect novelization. Having been pulled from her duty station on Luna, Commander Jane Shepard is drafted aboard the SSV Normandy SR1 for a mission that was supposed to be an easy covert pick up on the surface of Eden Prime. But what she finds on the surface will not only change her life, but the lives of everyone in the galaxy.

Years after the Reapers, Garrus and Shepard still cope with the past.

Commander Shepard is the sole survivor with a synthetic sole, among other augmentations due to the Akuze incident. She's suppressed her emotions and ignored persuasions to retire in her willingness to continue her tour of duty, relying on medication to help with her nightmares and the phantom pains that have persisted. People think it's determination. It's just a distraction.

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.

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.

She was never his, but when had he let that stop him from doing right by her? Set in Mass Effect 3. Written for Day 7 of #MERweek2021.

After landing the opportunity of a lifetime to train under a notorious general, Castis Vakarian dreams of political aspirations - but a chance encounter with a bounty hunter makes him question what he really wants.

A retelling of Mass Effect 2 with some structural changes to smooth out the narrative. The Council especially, but also the Illusive Man, the Alliance, and the racial governments make a lot more reasonable decisions. This is a rewrite of a previous effort to write ME2 that flamed out because of the compounding narrative problems from the base game. FShep.

Right before Omega 4, Shepard receives one last mission from Admiral Hackett regarding suspicious movements along the human-batarian border. While Shepard himself is prepared to answer the call, he is much less enthusiastic with the fact that he will have to work with Alliance personnel...Alliance personnel who are not happy with being assigned to fight with a supposed traitor.

The war is nearly at its end, but what could happen after? A new story, please follow and leave a review so I know how I'm doing! Cover Art Credit: deviantart . com/jennifer-manzanera/art/Commander-Shepard-624130725

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.

There are many questions the galaxy could ask about the adventures of Commander Shepard. What if Shepard's oxygen line had never severed in the destruction of the Normandy? Will he be able to fight off the Collectors and Cerberus at once? Will the Council recognize anything as a threat as Cerberus starts a three-way war when things don't go their way over Alchera? Shep/Tali.

Miranda Lawson was failing. The Lazarus project was about to be shut down. So she really had nothing to lose when an oddly suspicious and conveniently timed message found it's way to her desk. Rated M for possible violence.

Total war demands victory at any cost. After the destruction of the Bahak System, Emilia Shepard returns home just in time for the Reaper invasion. The galaxy finds itself in a race against time: win the war before there's no one left to fight. ME3, canon-divergent with a focus on the milscifi and off-screen moments, multiple POVs, paragade Shepard.

A feel good piece for our beloved Commander. Set in Mass Effect 2. Written for Day 6 of #MERweek2021.

From the beginning of ME2 onward, Shepard is tasked with the impossible. Resistance against all odds, both external and those whom call themselves 'allies'. Unlike the story of ME in the games, I will attempt to go through a few situations in a more logical way. Mostly canon, though with clear AU concepts in the future! Enjoy and review if you like my interpretation!

Rework of a former story of mine of the same title. having been recruited by my future self, this is the story of how I ended up in the Mass Effect Universe and helping Shepard and the crew try and stop the Reapers from killing us all. No pressure eh?

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

This is an in-universe document story covering the history and the major players of the Terminus systems. This includes Omega and Aria as well as new cultures, people and forces alongside the context of the region and how it relates to the Citadel. Written by the mighty Xabiar, with inputs from several members of the Editing Gang. Some of the concepts will be mature.

On the Crucible, Shepard makes a choice. The consequences are unexpected, especially for the woman she left behind. Post Control ending.
