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.

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.
