Jacen Tarren, once a prodigy to the turian military, and former security officer of the Citadel, ends up in a stasis pod on Ark Natanus of the Andromeda Initiative. Before his sleep in cryo-stasis, he recalls his life once promising turned tragedy among friends and his family. What has come to his choices?

Set in the Mass Effect universe with slight alterations. I do not own anything about Mass Effect. *Spoilers are included.*

I'm not a good person. I've killed, and will continue to. However, here and now I have a chance to be better. To make the galaxy better and I'm going to take it. No matter what I have to go through, what I have to endure. I will help Shepard create a better galaxy, even at the cost of my life I will help create a better galaxy. Updates every Saturday.

Tali discovers something in her work space.

Gemma River. A young girl from the colony of Horizon, her life was just normal with her parents until the Reapers attacked her home. Waking up on the Citadel, confused and alone, can the help from Commander Shepard and her crew find Gemma's parents? And can Gemma be made to realise she's a lot more powerful than she ever knew?

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 series of fics spanning the end of ME1 to post ME3. Inspired by song titles/lyrics. Femshep/Liara

A series of shorts cross-posted from an N7 Month celebration on Tumblr. Rating M as a precaution. Each installment has individual warnings.

Alex Ramon Shepard is your typical N7 operative. That is until the data from a lost race is implanted in his mind. Now he must find a way to understand his new destiny while attempting to stop a race of machines from eliminating all known organic life. Note: will contain mature themes and some lemons. ShepardxTali

I think we can all agree waking up as a guy in a woman's body would be jarring to say the least. Waking up as an asari? Horrifying. But waking up as what I had the incredible misfortune to be... Let's just say I wouldn't bet on me surviving long enough to see the Reapers make their grand debut. Asari SI, starts just before ME1.

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!

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.

Ten years after the reapers were defeated, tech experts all over Council space begin disappearing. Admiral Hackett enlists the help of Malikeh Ramar-Koverick, a former Alliance battle tactician, and Adrian Flynn, a cyber criminal, to locate the missing techs and bring down the shadow organization behind the disappearances.

Died a human in the early 21st century, reborn an Asari just in time for the Reaper invasion. Time for one hell of an adventure. Here's hoping that I live through it.

Almost a quarter of a century has passed since the end of the Reaper War. The massive beings that once tried to destroy life, now help preserve peace. As the rest of the Galaxy moves on with their lives, Miranda Lawson struggles to forget. An ominous new danger reunites old friends and forces Miranda into a life she thought she'd left behind. Unrelated to the Fate series.

It's been years since the Reaper War ended. The threat is over and all is well. Right? ...Right? Well here I am again. Couldn't stay away. I reckon a part of me will always dwell with these people and this galaxy and frankly, that ain't so bad. For those who haven't read Resolve this may not make much sense, so I recommend you start there.

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

Sequel to Other Side of Omega. Life was hard enough running from Cerberus with her turian friend, but now the ex-Cerberus experiment Athena finds herself struggling with remaining human when the Reapers start arriving. Dreams and a fear of death bring Athena to the edge, and without Aria there to help her, she might submit to the synthetic side of her as the voices grow stronger.

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.

After working undercover for so long, Kaesso Olymdas had often wondered what would happen if he were compromised. What torture would his captors concoct? How long would it last? Or perhaps his enemy would deem him entirely expendable, wasting neither time nor resources on extraction. Despite all his pondering, nothing had prepared him for the pirate - SMUT one-off, original chars

Kiara Odell is a mechanic brought onto a special project between the Alliance and the Turian Hierarchy. Decimus is a technician from Palaven brought onto the same project. Who knew joining a turian/human ship project would drag them both into helping save the galaxy.

"Director's Cut" of the ME epic, fleshing out who our heroes are and how they got that way. Slowly veering off to an AU: The Savior of Elysium IS the Butcher of Torfan, medevac Jenkins, Liara returns to Ilos to reboot Vigil, Shepard rescues Kenson w/ Thane & Kasumi, Aria gets executed, Legion knows TIM is indoctrinated, the Collectors have directed TIM to scuttle Normandy...

During her incarceration, Shepard and Thane are granted a phone call. Thane/FShep. Oneshot.

What if the events of ME2 had happened before ME1? After the disaster of Torfan Shepard spends 5 years in prison. Upon her release she is recruited by Cerberus to investigate the mysterious disappearances of entire human colonies in the Terminus Systems and find the answers to the questions that torment her: Can war criminals ever redeem themselves? Should they even be allowed to?

Due to a drive core malfunction, a human vessel arrives just in time to save the Council Envoy from the yahg. What happens when humanity enters the galactic stage not as the race that got attacked by the turians for breaking a law they weren't aware of, but as the race that saved a turian platoon from certain death? M for wartime violence, pre ME1 - ME3, no OP humanity.
