Well this is my first attempt at a self-insert story, so go easy on me. Actually come to think of it this is my first attempt at a Mass Effect fan fiction. Yikes, that doesn't inspire confidence. Anyways I'd like to thank DelVarO, iNf3ctioNZ, Herr Wozzeck, and DemonFireX for giving me the idea to write this. You should go check out their stories as they are all amazing. Anywho on with the story.
Disclaimer: Mass Effect and all related items and plots belong to Bioware. I own nothing, and do not claim to. The only thing I own is my own character (me).
Edit: 1/20/14
A/N: Now normally I wouldn't do this but I've noticed the vast majority of my view count aren't making it past the first few chapters. I urge you to push past as they are the weakest ones by far. The story does get better. Hopefully that helped you push through. If not then oh well I tried. Anyways have a great day!
Prologue: Necessary Intro Chapter
May 18, 2013
It's funny how the little instances in life can lead to unimaginable consequences.
For example, if I had taken a few seconds to hang up my keys, I wouldn't have spent five minutes looking for them.
If I hadn't spent five minutes looking for my keys, I wouldn't have been in danger of running late for my date.
If I hadn't been in danger of running late for my date, I wouldn't have been speeding.
If I wouldn't have been speeding, I wouldn't have slid on wet asphalt.
If I hadn't slid on wet asphalt I wouldn't have been hit by an oncoming semi.
The action of not hanging up my keys led to my current situation. Somehow, even after having part of the driver's side door pierce my side, I remained conscious long enough to feel myself slip away. All around me sound had been reduced to white noise, as I watched the blood leak from my side. Without realizing I was moving, I dipped my hand in the blood and wrote out, 'Tell my family I love them.'
My last thought before I lost consciousness was, 'Wow, that's really cheesy.'

A loud whiring noise shocks me back to awareness. I groan and try to get comfortable, but whatever I'm lying on is cold and really hard. I roll over on my left side when it hits me. Shouldn't my side hurt?
The memory of the accident rushes back to me and I bolt upright, opening my eyes. Unfortunately what I see doesn't calm me down at all. I'm lying in an alleyway but that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the fact that passing said alleyway are a conglomeration of turians, asari, salarians, and other aliens as well as humans. I take a closer look at my surroundings. The buildings were sleek, and, well, futuristic. Noticing that I feel lighter I take a guess that I'm on the Presidium.
"Oh Jesus fuck. You're telling me those self-insert stories actually had it right?" I mutter to myself incredulously. "Okay then, first things first I guess. I need to find an antique store and sell off some of my things. Without credits I'm getting nowhere fast. Good thing I always have my phone on me...it is on me right?"
After frantically checking my pockets and reassuring myself that I crossed over with everything still in them, I take a deep breath and walk out of the alley. Of course now I realize that everyone is running away from something.
"Where is everyone-""Look out it's gonna crash!" someone screams interrupting me.
Looking up to my right my interrupted question is answered. I see a transport vehicle on fire, and heading for a shop only 150 feet away. On its side was an Alliance symbol and a caution sign that clearly read 'Warning Eezo on board.'
"Oh Jesus fuck, really?" is all I have time to say before the vehicle hits the store. The resulting explosion creates a fireball. I feel an extreme heat, a force hitting my chest, intense pain, and then everything goes black.
It's kinda short, but that's chapter one. Please leave a review so I can know what you think. If there's any mistakes let me know so I can fix them.
