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.

Commander Scott Gardner ends up embroiled in a desperate race against time when a Human colony is attacked by a galactic hero-turned-traitor. Through visions seen only by him, he learns that the entire galaxy, and all its denizens, are in terrible danger. Will their leaders listen? Will he and his friends be enough to stave off annihilation before it is too late? The fight is on!

FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not super canon compliant, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your own version of Shepard. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's point of view. Rated T for swears. FemShep/Ashley (but not yet).

Join the Andromeda Initiative, Work for the great Alec Ryder, Make the first Human Pathfinder's Team, Settle Humanities new Home World, and hopefully get a promotion. These were all on Lieutenant Cora Harper's to-do list. Falling in love with The Pathfinder was never part of the plan. Then again, neither was his Son.

In a world where the mind creates what is real at the wish of a thought, Lothairaxl bears forth from a moon not far from Earth. The genes of a civilization wove forth to make it real. Artificial intelligence breaks boundaries so soon after the Reapers' demise, but how? The story of a planet in which lust blooms by salty shores and lives across species blend against understanding…

This story revolves mainly around John Shepard and Miranda Lawson. The story of their separation and reunion... and of course the Reapers are coming. Only John and his friends believes the legend of the Reapers. Can they stop the cycle of extinction which happens every 50000 years?

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!

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

Join Miranda Lawson and her unlikely band of allies as she lurches around the Terminus trying to avoid the Reapers, Cerberus, the Citadel authorities, and a long list of aliens she ever harmed during her long terrorist employment, long enough to save her sister from her father's evil clutches. Miranda - ME3 setting - written as if in canon universe

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.

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.

Shepard and Liara bask in the afterglow of their first lovemaking.

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

Miranda Lawson was used to being in control, whether it was of her life, her sister's safety, or her work with Cerberus. From the moment she had returned from the dead, Evan Shepard had challenged that on every front. With their goal in sight, can Miranda trust Evan enough to let go? A Miranda/FShep romance covering ME2, ME3, and maybe beyond.

When Mindoir is attacked by slavers, 16-year-old Cara Jane Shepard is saved by mercenary Zaeed Massani, not Alliance. Now, at 28, Shepard is helping Zaeed to lead a mercenary crew. A job with a huge payday comes their way. Millions of credits served to them on a silver platter, and it's just too good to pass up. Plus, Eden Prime is a backwoods paradise colony. What could go wrong?

Peaceful coexistence? Why not? The two superpowers of the 20th century retained their leading positions in the bipolar world, and the shaky cooperation, that replaced the tough confrontation, is preparing to face new challenges when in 2148 a beacon of an ancient civilization is found on Mars... (AU) [Fanfic translation!]

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)

The Pulse is what the Quarians call the destructive wave sent out by the Citadel that destroyed the Reapers. It has affected their planet more than anywhere else. Desperate for answers, Tali is tasked - who is still on Earth helping Shepard recover - with finding those answers. What she finds could change everything - for her, for her people, and for those that have been lost.

Five years after the defeat of the Reapers, Commander Jack Shepard has put his days of violence behind him, choosing to retire quietly in the tropics of Earth. Commander Ashley Williams-Shepard continues her service in the Alliance while her husband maintains a passive, anonymous life. When the Normandy vanishes without a trace, Jack is forced to don his N7 armor once again...

Part of her was still convinced that it was some sort of ruse or prank on the krogan's part; it was simply too good to be true. Commander Shepard, alive and in Andromeda? She refused to believe it. (partial re-write of my last fic 'star-crossed', significantly expanded, cross-posted on Ao3 under the same name)

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.

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

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.

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.
