The vid was cheesy; there was no doubt about it. But it was also sort of sweet, Ryder thought. Maybe she just felt that way because she was currently curled up beside the person she loved, and it put her in a sappy mood.

Roots. That's what it took—roots to found way into the soil. Isole and Cassius would grow the roots that combined worlds into a future others would only think was real and happening, but the combinations with other entities would divide them farther and farther from what they'd originally intended to create. All it came down to was a seed of love that held those two together…

Shepard's past in the Tenth Street Reds. AU. She grew up in a religious and military institute, which scarred her soul but transformed her into a person capable of enduring unbearable psychological traumas. [Future pairing: Femshep x Liara T'Soni]

What happens to Shepard after the events of Mass Effect 3? This story follows a storyline where Shepard makes it out of the Crucible and is found barely clinging to life.

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 :)

A continuation and remaster of Mal Cobb's A Measure of Salvation, a harrowing, intense, and visceral epic spanning from ME2 to ME3. Miri/Shepard pairing. Action! Mystery! Fluff! Adventure! Suspense! Chapters posted frequently, and would love to hear your suggestions! M for graphic violence, drug use, language, sexual content (Most of the content up till c.45 is Mal Cobb's work)

In the years since her family was killed, J.R. Shepard has learned to put the personal aside in favor of the professional. But as the galaxy's crises become her responsibility, as she gathers around her the people who will aid her, she finds a new family, and love that she never expected, and will have to learn how to put the two halves of herself back together.

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.

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.

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

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? Inspired by Found by Kate Shepard on AO3 Beta edits by Kogarashi: Progress 1/15

A prequel of sorts in preparation of a roleplaying segment set in the Premiseverse, combined with expanding on understanding some of the pre-Prothean races and their impact on the current cycle. Warning, this is going to be hard and ugly sci-fi horror mixed with political maneuvering and science babble. Language, imagery and concepts are probably best not left to teens or children

A woman with a dark past, with even darker secrets. Some even unknown to her. Everything begins to unravel once Mercy Shepard herself unravels, allowing herself to remember who she was in a different reality.

Mass effect 1 Novelisation A rogue soldier leads un unstoppable force across the galaxy and only one woman stands between the galaxy and extinction

Shepard heads to the crew deck for midnight snack, but finds what she was really looking for all along. An exploration of a Shepard/Legion romance arc. **This femshep's appearance is never described beyond her having hair, I welcome you to imagine her any way you like. :)

This is a gift for Revans Mask and her Elective Surgery series, particularly the "Flesh is Weak" one. Shepard gets remade with alittle something extra. Set at the start of Mass Effect 2. Enjoy!

Cerberus had always experienced setbacks and failures. With Rasa gone and the Courier defecting, Zachary Turner and Katherine Blanchett were assigned to assess and scout for candidates for the Lazarus Cell. However, Zachary was plagued by his bigotry towards aliens while Katherine was haunted by her past. Should they fail, the project would soon follow.

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...

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.

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.

Knowing what is going to happen, but not the consequences, I will save everyone I can using the most unlikely in a futuristic era... magic
