A Miranda/FShep romance covering ME2, ME3, and maybe beyond.

With new and old foe's appearing around every corner, I could only hope I would be strong enough to not only live, but flourish. SI story. Pairings Undecided. Slight Destiny cross over elements.

This includes Omega and Aria as well as new cultures, people and forces alongside the context of the region and how it relates to the Citadel.

Hi there! Looking for a new challenge? Step inside! And apologies in advance if it isn't what you're looking for, but hey! If you wanna see something, post challenges too!

The vid was cheesy; there was no doubt about it. But it was also sort of sweet, Ryder thought. Maybe she just felt that way because she was currently curled up beside the person she loved, and it put her in a sappy mood.

Liara is bored by her studies. Fortunately there is a frisky young asari willing to help her out... M for smutty smut. Image by the very talented Ubermachine.

Shepard's past in the Tenth Street Reds. AU. She grew up in a religious and military institute, which scarred her soul but transformed her into a person capable of enduring unbearable psychological traumas. [Future pairing: Femshep x Liara T'Soni]

Joker's the one who has to drop her into hell, over and over. He's her pilot after all, and he'd follow anywhere she asked of him.

Slow burn Shoker. Many liberties taken with lore/canon.

It will now be up to Shepard and Tali's daughter - Roahn - to figure out a way to restore that hope, unite their lost allies, and pursue their enemy to the universe's very edge.

A prequel of sorts in preparation of a roleplaying segment set in the Premiseverse, combined with expanding on understanding some of the pre-Prothean races and their impact on the current cycle. Warning, this is going to be hard and ugly sci-fi horror mixed with political maneuvering and science babble. Language, imagery and concepts are probably best not left to teens or children

This is a gift for Revans Mask and her Elective Surgery series, particularly the "Flesh is Weak" one. Shepard gets remade with alittle something extra. Set at the start of Mass Effect 2. Enjoy!

But as tensions begin to ease the dark shadow of the Reapers looms...

Knowing what is going to happen, but not the consequences, I will save everyone I can using the most unlikely in a futuristic era... magic

This story is different from my others because of the lack of mythology. It begins when she is five years old and ends up a duct rat in the underbelly of the Citadel's Wards - and will continue past ME3. It will have all the main characters and some of my own. Remember, I'm not an editor, there will be typos. The story is for mature readers only.
