Shepard has always kept his personal life to himself. With good reason. A life working with the alliance was led by many guidelines. The responsibilities, and freedoms, of being a spectre started to blur those lines. This will follow a similar structure to the game but has undergone serious deviations. MShepXTali. I will be attempting to upload once every two weeks or monthly.

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.

Lieutenant Commander Shepard didn't know that she was never supposed to be on the Normandy, much less receive visions from the beacon on Eden Prime. But Fate, it seems, is a fickle mistress, and now she finds herself chasing a rogue Spectre across the galaxy. A re-imagining of ME1 with additional content that expands on the events of the game.

Some people spend their whole lives searching for love, others stumble into it completely by chance. Nicola "Nikki" Shepard was devastated when her childhood sweetheart left Mindoir, but fate is a fickle creature and in the long run it was probably for the best. Starting with brief snapshots on Mindoir and other events pre-ME1 then hopefully continuing throughout the trilogy. F/F

It was supposed to be a simple shakedown cruise. It was so much more. She was supposed to be his Commanding Officer. She became so much more. How could Kaidan Alenko know this one mission would change his life so completely? How could he know this one woman would alter the course of his future so fully?

Commander Shepard gave up her life at the Crucible to end the war and give her people a chance for peace. She never expected to wake up again. A short story of life after (almost) death. Again.

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

Since that day at the memory wall though, he felt like he could finally breath out a sigh of relief. Because even in the midst of this galaxy wide war – there was so much to look forward to.

Samantha was led to believe the deal included a couple of children, but Shepard is dilly-dallying. There's only so many years one can wait for something to happen before getting ready to give up, and Shepard must find closure regarding her own childhood before she can start her own family.

After the Reaper War, the Normandy crew gets assigned to a garden world for a breeding program to bring back several extinct races. Everyone's getting laid, so it's gonna be a very... Fun time. (Smut fic. Not everything will make sense. Some but not all characters present. Mass x-over)

Set in the Mass Effect universe with slight alterations. I do not own anything about Mass Effect. *Spoilers are included.*

Death, a coma, being forced to run for her life, and a run in with Cerberus... Shepard finds herself in her captain's quarters, trying to get an understanding on, well, everything, when she's interrupted by Joker, desperate for a reason why.

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.

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.

During the final battle with the Reapers, Shepard encounters The Illusive Man on the citadel. He offers Shepard the choice to go back in time and fix their mistakes and hopefully be better prepared for the fight against the Reapers.

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…

Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat. His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave. AU Shepard Siblings in 3 Parts

The Collectors have been destroyed. Commander Gardner knows that, soon, he will have to turn himself in to the Systems Alliance to face judgement for his work with Cerberus. However, Just because the Collectors are gone and the Reapers have not yet arrived does not mean the galaxy is any safer.

Ru winds up almost 200 years in the future to join the Normandy crew and their fight to stop the reapers. Will she find her own place among the crew, a place in the galaxy, or even love? His is a story through an OC POV. [OCxGarrus]

Brought back to life by terrorists and thrust straight back onto the frontline, Commander Scott Gardner must raise a team to take on the elusive, sinister Collectors. Friends, old and new, must fight together as one if they are to succeed. Their journey into hell will either forge them into the greatest fighting force ever seen, or spell doom for them all.

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?

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.

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.
