This book covers what happens between Mass Effect 2: The Arrival DLC and Mass Effect 3. Cole Shepard goes on a journey to figure out how to stop the Reapers from harvesting the galaxy. Along the way, he'll have to overcome many obstacles, both personally and physically.

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.

Gemma River. A young girl from the colony of Horizon, her life was just normal with her parents until the Reapers attacked her home.

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!

AU. A world where Humanity was unified by a clique of scientists and engineers. Society has evolved alongside massive investments in technology and expansion that harnesses the inherent need for Humanity to grow and push at the frontiers. What happens when a technologically and politically coherent Humanity predict the existence of and finally meet the other species in the Galaxy?

Joker's the one who has to drop her into hell, over and over. He's her pilot after all, and he'd follow anywhere she asked of him. Ashe Shepard didn't ask for her scars but she'll bear them all just to bring Joker home to safe harbour. Canon-related AU where Joker and Shepard's relationship goes back to the Academy. Slow burn Shoker. Many liberties taken with lore/canon.

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!

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?

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.

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.

Meanwhile forces conspire in the shadows of the galaxy, and he must decide if freedom is the right of all beings.

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
