In 1958, NATO and the Warsaw Pact come into contact with a hostile UFO. It seemed to defy the laws of physics with the way it moved and the way it's mass seemed to almost...fluctuate. In a joint effort, the two powers defeated the aliens, but only just. Now, the aliens have returned, and only one organization has any hope of stopping them: the Xenonauts.

The wing of a butterfly is made of numerous filaments, scales, cells of color and flexible material, but at the instant of a finger brush can be smeared and weakened. Peace is a metamorphosis such as a chrysalis that must be formed by a single unit interacting with many. And time takes it through the proper changes before it can form into its calling….

Commander Shepard is considered the best humanity has to offer. But how did she become that way? A peek or two into her past, when she was simply Jane Shepard, spacer kid and navy brat. (CW: Graphic violence in chapters 3 & 4.)

10 years since the war ended. The last mass relay is built and Normandy's crew gather for its activation. But something goes awry and an explosion opens a rift. Sucked through space and time into another universe 3 years before the Reaper Invasion. What will Shepard change? How will it change her? Inspiration from Found by Kate Shepard on AO3

Human Systems Alliance fan lore

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.

As the galaxy entered a post-reaper era; peace prevailed as societies began to help each other rebuild. It is difficult for Shepard to imagine herself as a civilian, but that is exactly what she has become. So, through all the trauma she and Garrus had endured, would they really be able to live a normal life? Afterall, they don't go looking for trouble, the trouble finds them.

Hit massive writer's block and started working on this, it's gay like me, hope u enjoy

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.

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.

In the third book of Drell, Thane amongst others are left to deal with the Harvest and the death of one whom they loved and lost to the ancestor architects...But Braith Shepard may still have hope. The seeds of the future have grown or been born and purgatory lets out for one who has been ill-destined per her selfish choice...

(Placed in ME2) Nothing about this file was normal as Liara looked it over. The only option, forward it off to the one person who could investigate it. Now Shepard and crew find themselves within a reality that has hidden as the Reapers.

An original story. Follow Morgan Beckett and his crew as they venture through the galaxy during the events of Mass Effect after a mysterious benefactor offers Beckett the most high risk mission of his career. Watch as this mission takes Beckett parallel to Commander Shepard's hunt for Saren Arterius.

This is a completely OC short story on what happens after Miranda's loyalty mission. Miranda/Shepard. Takes place within the Measure of Salvation storyline. Shepard is lost in thought about his past failures as Miranda meets her sister. There will be more of these short stories in the MoS storyline! Rated M for violence and mild sexual content

A continuation and remaster of Mal Cobb's A Measure of Salvation. It follows Shepard and his crew as they navigate the dangers after ME2 and even past ME3. Miranda/Shepard w/ fluff. Huge WIP but aim to get chapters up every week. Rated M for intense violence, sexual content, language. Enjoy and give feedback! (Also not taking credit for the majority of the story up to chapter 45)

Ru winds up almost 200 years in the future to join the Normandy crew and their fight to stop the reapers. Will she find her own place among the crew, a place in the galaxy, or even love? His is a story through an OC POV. [OCxGarrus]

Here is a large chunk of my own Shepard story. It's heavily based on the game, so much of the dialogue will be recognizable, with my own flair added in for spice to fill in a few blanks. FemShep/Garrus I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Would love reviews. Smut start at Ch. 33, fair warned, with open season afterwards. Most are easy to skip over. Or find :)

Wrex's contract into Fist leads him to a new opportunity with a Spectre. He never really thought about any relationships or mates due to the genophage but he's drawn to Shepard. She's a fierce warrior who doesn't take crap from anyone. Their relationship remains platonic but it's a struggle with their sexual tension that could never bloom. Her love for Liara makes things difficult

My look at the Rachni War. Mainly extensive canonical history, but with little changes. Have fun reading this. And please comment whether you like it or not.(One-shot)(Part 2 of the MassEffect - Historical Documentation series)

La guerra è finita! Shepard è sepolta viva, viene recuperata in uno strano stato di incoscienza. Dovrà intraprendere un lungo viaggio, ripercorrendo i suoi ultimi quattro anni attraverso i ricordi di Liara, a volte meravigliosi altre volte terribili. Il suo amore, il loro legame invincibile, sarà l'unica cosa capace di tenerla aggrappata a quella promessa ... "Io, ritorno sempre"!

She'll protect him, again, like she'd done so many times before. To shield the innocence buried inside a man who is stronger for her having died. Buried so deep perhaps it's only her heart that can see it.

John Shepard, like most humans, can't die. Blow him up, irradiate him, slice him apart, throw him out into space, he's done it all before. But the race of aliens kidnapping Turian and Batarian colonists from the Verge? That's new. That's something that might actually have to be dealt with. And hey, when you live forever, why not live in the moment?

SAM wanted to experience feelings through her? Well, buckle up, because Sara Ryder had a crapton. Game novelization, liberties taken.

Mass Effect AU. The Systems Alliance never existed, instead the Terran Federation rose from the ashes of the third World War in the 2050s with the aid of AI and cybernetic technology resulting in a 25 year cold war with the Citadel Council after the First Contact War. But as tensions begin to ease the dark shadow of the Reapers looms...

[AU] Jasmine Shepard joined the Alliance but instead of following the path that would lead her to save the galaxy, she became a Phantom. Working as an assassin for the Alliance's unofficial program, Jasmine encounters Thane Krios when they are both assigned the same target. Bested by the drell assassin, Jasmine pushes herself to surpass Thane but gets more than she bargained for.
