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.

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.

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

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.

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 :)

Commander Shepard of the Mass Effect universe is brought to life in this author's telling of an alternate universe—or six. Races of intelligence, good will and the sour, involve themselves in the affairs of this woman. Krogans are honorable—salarians hold power. Turians lay the foundations….

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.
