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.

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

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 :)

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...

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.

Cat Smyth was of the few preparatory xenobiologists sent to explore the outskirts of colonized space, alone with an expeditionary force intent on finding new homes for overcrowded Earth-dwellers. They found Faultoth. On this earthworld, a species known as the Banton…

Cerberus has spent billions of credits trying to bring Commander Jane Shepard back from the dead, and despite the odds it seems to be working. Then a saboteur inside of Cerberus makes his move and Shepard's resurrection takes a horrific turn, leaving both the Alliance and Cerberus scrambling to control the situation...all while the Collectors begin their harvest of humanity.

AU, ME1. Main changes are to humanities biology. Same universe as 'Bloody Path to the Stars'. After coming onto the galactic scene in a short but bloody war, Humanity has a meteoric rise. Now another hurdle is being jumped. A human is being seriously considered as a possible spectre, but this human will be more important than anyone realizes.

Our story takes place after Humanity narrowly avoids destroying itself and despite all odds manages to learn from its mistakes. Being a better, kinder species when they encounter another race in need they pull out all the stops to lend assistance.

Were you ever so disappointed in something that the laws of space and time literally fractured? Four years after dealing with Mass Effect 3's horrible ending, I found myself on a plane to Vancouver. All I wanted was to see a concert and enjoy the sights. What I got was a life I never expected would be mine. (SI)(AU)

Reincarnated into an Alternate Universe of Mass Effect, I was given a chance to go on a new adventure. To explore and help protect a vast and powerful Human Empire that was millennia old. With new and old foe's appearing around every corner, I could only hope I would be strong enough to not only live, but flourish. SI story. Pairings Undecided. Slight Destiny cross over elements.

The war is nearly at its end, but what could happen after? If you enjoyed this story, there will be several intermission short chapters (on their own story) followed by a book 2! Cover Art Credit: deviantart . com/jennifer-manzanera/art/Commander-Shepard-624130725

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.

ME3, canon-divergent with a focus on the milscifi and off-screen moments, multiple POVs, paragade Shepard.
