Lt. Commander Shepard, White Death of Elysium, borderline pariah, new commander the SSV Normandy. Hackett tasks her with the thankless, redaction-heavy missions N7s train for. Along the way she forms an unlikely band of misfits into a highly effective army, and discovers just how thin the galaxy's veneers of normalcy are. (An AU/"Reaper-free" TV-Show-format series.)

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.

Shepard didn't expect to wake up after shooting the power conduit. She knew that she had chosen her end. The end to it all. But then she takes a breath, and then another. She finds herself alive, after all that's happened and struggles with her newfound third chance at life. FemShep/Liara T'Soni

The 16 ranks of the Systems Alliance and their duties

After the Reapers are destroyed, Shepard and Tali try to find each other again, reliving memories along the way. Note - This is my first foray into fanfic writing, and this is a little unorthodox. I've borrowed quarian ideas found in other stories that are attributed to Calinstel (among others, I'm sure). I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Keelah se'lai!

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.

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."

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.

Meet Aki Shepard younger sister of the Great Commander Jane Shepard, follow her as she travels with her sister and the crew of Normandy to kick ass and save lives.

Alejandra Shepherd is many things: talented smuggler, charming rogue, excellent shot - even a decent bodyguard and escort, if the money is right. But a hero? Trade her freedom for sacrifice and (maybe) glory? No, thanks. However, when her path crosses with that of the SSV Normandy, Aleja is drawn into a conflict much bigger than herself.

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.

Following the events of ME3 Tali gets the crew to go on a search mission for Shepard but once the batarians find out that he is still he is alive they grow unhappy and a war is a possibility…

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?

AU:(No reapers, Humanity lost first contact war) John Shepard is abducted from his home and sold as a slave. When a strange power awakens within him, he sees this as the chance to destroy "the alien oppressor". However he learns that the galaxy isn't so black and white. Meanwhile forces conspire in the shadows of the galaxy, and he must decide if freedom is the right of all beings.

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.

Shepard finds himself falling in love with the violent, complex woman known only as Jack. This is the story of their relationship from Mass Effect 2 and beyond. Rated M for language, violence and suggestive themes. Mass Effect 3 arc now in progress!

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.

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

Over a hundred years after a virus wiped out half of humanity, they made contact with the Citadel. Are humans ready for them or are they ready for us?

Together they were tucked into the porch swing Thane had helped restore. Nightfall crept over the sky, first claiming the treeline at the far end of the property before reaching for their home. Lightning bugs flickered across the planted field. In the lingering heat of late summer, green sunflower buds reached for the heavens. Thane/FShep OR Thane/MShep. Post-war. ONESHOT.

An alternate ME3. Commander Shepard and her team are on the run from Cerberus and trying to make alliances before it's too late. In a galaxy with no reaper kill switch, how can they hope to defeat something so ancient and powerful? Their last hope is a desperate plan that may cost them everything. Shepard/Garrus, other side pairings.

"It's funny; I think of you as all business. Good to see that there's a person under there." Shepard's voice was as soft as Miranda had ever heard it. That alone should have been enough to set off warning bells in her head, but it wasn't until she heard the commander stand and step closer that she realized she was in too deep.

With friends and family at her side, Dr Liara T'Soni travels the galaxy, digging up the long-lost trail of the Protheans. Setting aside her life as an active Spectre, Shepard settles into domestic life (of sorts) to accompany Liara on her journey. Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

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.
