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

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.

The Protheans eliminated the Reapers but their population has dwindled to hundreds and unable to continue their empire. How the story would go without the Reapers. FemShep.

This anthology focuses on the lives of those that call Omega their home and find themselves wrapped up in the ambitions of a particular Turian matriarch.

Mads Aleksandrovich Romanov was nothing but a soldier serving a cause of which he could not understand when the unforeseen happened. He was declared dead, but secretly admitted to a project that would send him long into the future. Now his life seems more like a sci fi movie. The story takes place over all three games. (Early chapters under going re-write)

Shepard and Garrus reunite after the Reaper war, but their new found love for civilian life, living on Elysium, is cut short when Cerberus gets involved. The Normandy, Captained by a newly appointed Spectre Kaidan Alenko, becomes their home for the forseeable future. Kaidan has to try and battle with his past feelings. Garrus has to battle with keeping Shepard safe.

Set in an AU where the Geth came to Humanity's aide against the Turians during the First Contact War, Humanity takes a different path. But some things stay the same. Commander Shepard is put forward as the candidate for the Spectre program, he just happens to have an AI in his head. Humanity does not like Quarians, likes the Asari and Salarians and Anderson needs a drink. Or ten.

Based on the thought: What if Ashley had gotten the visions from the Prothean Beacon on Eden Prime instead of Shepard? / (Teeth-Clenched Teamwork to Friends to Lovers, Ashley's POV, Alt. Universe - Canon)

A short story composed of entries from Hackett and most of the squad from the Mass Effect games. Based about 10 years after the end of the Reaper War, we see each recount how they met Shepard, and how he changed each of their lives. A few OC's will make an appearance as well. Warning: Post Mass Effect 3, so spoilers will exist. Also, trigger warnings a plenty, it's M for a reason.

MORE flashbacks, interstitial scenes, and backdoor dealings. An AU retelling of ME3 focusing on characters and worlds, big and small.

Shepard heads to the crew deck for midnight snack, but finds what she was really looking for all along.

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.

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?

Two years ago, Benjamin and Samuel Shepard led humanity to victory in the Reaper War. Now, as their deeds are chronicled and retold by those who served with them, the brothers face a fateful choice. After years of conflict, what is their place in a galaxy at peace? Sequel to Two Against the Galaxy, post- Mass Effect 3.

What could have been, what might will be. The planned ending of the Another Realm Saga as well as a fond farewell to Mass Effect.

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!

As the title says: an extra extended ending for the third game spanning from just before and after the Crucible fires. Happy (late) N7 day!

You can't keep a good man down. Corporal Richard L. Jenkins died on Eden Prime. That's what all the official reports say. However, Commander Shepard knows the truth is much more complicated, and skeletons don't always stay in the closet. With the geth attacking, Cerberus going rogue and Saren working to bring the Reapers back, Jenkins almost wishes he'd stayed dead.

Warning: cute hilarity ensues. Set in Citadel DLC. Written for Day 5 of #MERweek2021.

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.

Before leaving the Milky Way, Vetra has to prove her grit and secure passage on the Initiative. But is the cost too high? Pre-Omega DLC. Written for Day 4 of #MERweek2021.

Shepard has to unite an unlikely team against the Collectors. How will he save the galaxy amidst the threat of mercenaries, politics, and his growing emotional entanglement with Miranda Lawson? Adds more depth to the Miranda/Shepard romance. ME2
