With Sovereign defeated, the galaxy can rest, but only for a moment, as the Reapers still lurk on the outskirts. During this whole ordeal of events, among the SSV Normandy, two souls grew close with each other, but before they could join as one, an unknown enemy separated them, claiming the life of one, leaving the other sunk in grief... or so they thought.

Commander Veronika "Nick" Shepard, Hero of the Blitz and Sole Survivor of Akuze, is candidate to be the first human Spectre. She has a loyal crew to help her succeed with her mission, and finds not only camaraderie, but also love. Her relationship with Kaidan Alenko is put through a severe test, though. Canon divergent. Rated M for later chapters.

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.

Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

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…

Goddess of mind, goddess of heart - closed-off without consent, She cannot flourish; unlocked to the universe in trust and control, She protects from all outside influences.

Spans the Mass Effect Trilogy.

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.

What she finds could change everything - for her, for her people, and for those that have been lost.

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.

A Mass Effect retelling from Tali's perspective, with one major change. She knew Shepard when she was a child. AU obviously

La fin de la guerre ne signifie pas toujours la paix, surtout pour celle qui a tout donné. C'est l'histoire de Shepard, la fin de l'histoire, dans la tourmente de la douleur et des blessures, qui marquent l'âme et qui torturent.

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 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?
