[Control Ending] Sixty years after the end of the Reaper War, a Turian patrol finds a small vessel that has a Reaper signature of sorts. Realizing this may hold the answers that he's been searching for, Garrus Vakarian joins the patrol and boards the ship. What he finds is more than he ever hoped for. (Garrus x FemShep)

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….

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

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. Slight AU, Shepard Siblings.

The Reaper war is over, organics have won. Another war has already begun, with all alliances broken up due to the loss of comms, mass relays and guidance. Kaidan and the remaining Normandy crew must figure out how to get home. Shepard is injured, Gemma is lost and Kaidan is heartbroken. Can a happy ending become of all this loss and destruction?

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

Roots. That's what it took—roots to found way into the soil. Isole and Cassius would grow the roots that combined worlds into a future others would only think was real and happening, but the combinations with other entities would divide them farther and farther from what they'd originally intended to create. All it came down to was a seed of love that held those two together…

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).

[Modified Destroy Ending] Post-war, Commander Shepard has done the impossible, ending the war against the Reapers. Not only that, but she has survived, though her crew are currently unaware. This is a story of recovery, the aftermath of war, and finding their places in the galaxy, again. Rated T as a precaution. AU of sorts. (FemShep x Garrus) (Joker x EDI)

An aspiring writer's characters come out of the pages of her mind…

The galaxy has been saved from the threat of the Reapers, but the vacuum left by their defeat has not gone unnoticed. Hungry eyes now watch a weakened galaxy from the blackness. The sentient species barely survived synthetic extermination, can they now survive being utterly consumed by the blazing horde?

A THIRD set of updates to the original! That's right, I'm so incompetent I had to redo it YET AGAIN. Expanded notes on every aspect of the Systems Alliance, from ships, weapons, and armor to government, complete orders of battle, and more terms. Now updated (May 2021) with tactical considerations, plus the March 2020 updates.

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

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…

The Citadel are the beacon of civilization. The center of the galaxy, as some would say. For decades they had lived in peace. Unaware of the dangers lurking beyond their system. But, when an overzealous turian admiral attacked an unknown alien species. War that would consume many lives would soon engulf the Citadel space—for they had no idea what is it they had just provoked.

The wing of a butterfly is made of numerous filaments, scales, cells of color and flexible material, but at the instant of a finger brush can be smeared and weakened. Peace is a metamorphosis such as a chrysalis that must be formed by a single unit interacting with many. And time takes it through the proper changes before it can form into its calling….
