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.

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.

My take on Shepard and Tali's love scene before the assault on the Collector base.

Humans were unpredictable. Vicious. Bullies. At least, that was what Liara heard. Now she witnessed with her own eyes that nothing could be further from the truth, making it a habit to come to the Starboard Observation Deck to watch the Commander build models of frigates and dreadnoughts.

Braith Shepard meets the former brother-in-law of Thane Krios—her lover and mate as far as life for her second and third round of chances has given her—Casnar Soterios-Sousan….A steamy affair develops between the brother of the deceased Irikah Krios-Soterios and the commander of the ever-existing galactic unity that came together in light of the post-reaper era….

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

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.

What if Shepard survived the Battle of the Citadel and reunited with the quarian he adored? A post story following the end of the Reaper Wars. Might add more depending. Pairings: Talimancer, AshleyxJames NOTE: Contains cursing and some sexual themes.

What if humanity was diplomatically isolated from the Citadel races, left to fend for itself against the Batarians and other threats? This is an AU story of a humanity forced to struggle and fight for its place in the stars, with many points of divergence and some pretty significant changes made to the background lore. Contains violence and some mature themes.

AU: Humanity failed to conquer FTL, having no Eezo in Sol, but they did manage to overcome many other technologies which have allowed them to become the masters of their solar system, but what happens when the Citadel Council stumble across them in the year 3517AD? The Citadel wants their technology and Humanity wants out of Sol, but can a deal be struck? Heavy! focus on FC aspects

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.

My main ME AU Mass Effect story of Thane Krios and Commander Shepard. Will have canon missions, but not a canon story. Starts with Shepard's life on Earth, extends past ME3. This story relates to my Andromeda story. Warning of rainbows and butterflies and NSFW content. Rated M. I'm not a professional writer or editor.

With the Reapers at the galaxy's edge and Jane Shepard incarcerated, Aria T'loak finds her relationship with Cerberus becoming ever more complicated. Forced to turn to the Illusive Man for help in the face of tragedy, the spiraling politics between the two parties seems to lead to only one conclusion. Violence. Sequel to All Creatures Great and Small. Non-canonish.

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

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.

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.

On a routine assignment, Thane Krios is distracted—then succinctly robbed of his target by an unexpected Spectre.

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…

Due to a drive core malfunction, a human vessel arrives just in time to save the Council Envoy from the yahg. What happens when humanity enters the galactic stage not as the race that got attacked by the turians for breaking a law they weren't aware of, but as the race that saved a turian platoon from certain death? M for wartime violence, pre ME1 - ME3, no OP humanity.

What really hears you in the void of space besides atoms in your body ceasing to spin? 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….

You were correct. I did once tell you, 'In another time. Another life.' Because I had not known I would live that life. But I have. We have.

Les aventures explosives de l'Inspecteur Harrius Kallaghian, un flic turien de la Citadelle aux méthodes expéditives, qui ne jure que par trois choses: la Loi, l'Ordre... et la puissance balistique de son Carnifex! Toute ressemblance avec le légendaire Inspecteur Harry Callahan n'aurait rien d'une coïncidence.

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 :)

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.

A loose collection of short drabbles about how Commander Joan Shepard's asexuality affects her life - her view of herself, her relationships with others, and her state of mind. Also, occasional Shenko fluff that may or may not be directly related, but set in the same continuity. Parenthetical numbers in chapter names indicate which game it takes place in.
