Commander Shepard is the sole survivor with a synthetic sole, among other augmentations due to the Akuze incident. She's suppressed her emotions and ignored persuasions to retire in her willingness to continue her tour of duty, relying on medication to help with her nightmares and the phantom pains that have persisted. People think it's determination. It's just a distraction.

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

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

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 1/17

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…

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

Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. To that goal I will become one of the worst beings in human society. A businessman and politician. A SI/OC-story of a different kind.

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)

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)

A grouping of disconnected shorts in the After story, serving as a bridge between After and the upcoming All That Matters

Quelques mois après la fin de la guerre, un soldat décide de disparaître, sans se rendre compte que cette décision va mener deux grandes puissances à la confrontation, dans une galaxie encore loin de la guérison.

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.

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.

Tali'Zorah was just looking for a worthy pilgrimage gift, but is sucked into the adventure of her liftime instead. At the helm: Commander Shepard, greatest hero of the Alliance. But with a life of violence and loss behind him and the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders, Tali soon finds that perhaps John Shepard needs her just as much as she needs him... Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

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. Only one sits atop the throne of Shepard's subjectivity. Ashley/FemShep, Liara/FemShep. Miranda/FemShep, Aria/FemShep. Power plays, intense loves. Renegon Infiltrator FemShep. 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. 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.

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.

Shepard just came back from a battle and she wants to spend some time relaxing with her girlfriend Liara.

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.
