It starts with a mug of hot chocolate. That in itself isn't unusual; the decadent Earth beverage is something Shepard has an odd fondness for, and he fixes it for Liara on occasion. But this one is different. He brings it to her in a red mug with a green conifer painted on the side, and there is a strange red and white striped hooked cane lolling around the rim like a straw.

For all the unsung heroes who died wondering.

Antarius was just normal Citadel Security until the Reapers hit. Now he's stuck coordinating in the docks. One refugee stands out more than the others though and he can't help but be intrigued. OC turian/OC human. A little bit of light in the growing darkness goes a long way.

A young man suddenly gets pulled far into the future, into the middle of a war. Will he survive? Will he make it home? Will he want to? OMC going into ME1, joining our heroes throughout the games. Rated M for language and eventual romantic content.

Many thought the destruction of Sovereign and the defeat of the genocidal geth would spark a new era of peace, prosperity and unity. They were wrong. A month has followed since the events of Enigma and the war is far from over; it's only just begun. A new enemy has arisen from it's hiding place and is ready to declare total war on one enemy alone; humanity. Let the harvest begin.

My personal theory that helps explain the most controversial ending to one of the greatest games of all time. Please come read and form your own opinion in my first Mass Effect Discussion. (Rating: Some inappropriate humor is used throughout for a cheap laugh, not recommended for those under the age of 12)

Shepard had stepped on some toes to do it, but he had secured Jona Sederis' release from C-Sec Holding, but the merc leader was sorely mistaken if she thought that meant she was free to go. MShep X deris (M/F) Rated M for a reason folks. Please review, I like them and they help me improve :3

Liara is frustrated with Shepard's sparring activities and goes to Aethyta for advice.

A semi evil person suddenly finds himself with the power to control a galaxy and he falls. This is his story of darkness. leave if you cant handle this type of story. Evil Self insert

The USA and the USSR turned their long-standing animosity to the stars with the launch of Sputnik I in 1957. Two hundred years on, the superpowers and their alien allies find themselves embroiled in the machinations of entities beyond their comprehension. AU first contact.

Most would have seen the options and agreed to the deal. But Natasha Shepard wasn't most people. And she really, really didn't like working with Cerberus. Mass Effect 2 AU, continued by popular demand

The galaxy as we know it was shaped by war. And to prosecute a war spacecraft are required. When spacecraft belonging to two opposing factions meet a space battle occurs. This is a collaborative compendium of space warfare past, present and future.

It wasn't Cerberus that recovered Commander Shepard's body. It wasn't the Collectors, Liara or the Shadow Broker. It was an unlikely alliance of two individuals, each of them having searched for a long time. An alliance that was almost destroyed before it could finish its work. A Mass Effect 2 AU.

Shepard has gone haywire. Untrustworthy and completely insane to the point that makes the Illusive Man look like a princess at a tea party. Shooting civilians, raiding innocent cities and burning them to the ground with her bare hands. She never used to be like this. I only hope that we can bring the old Shepard back, or we'll have a bigger threat than the Reapers themselves.

Before Shepard turns the Normandy over to the Alliance, she wants to do something special for the man who has stood beside her through all the trials she has faced. But things don't always go as planned. A/N: Written by request for tbsnihon who had a hankering for Shoker fluff.

Can a young quarian engineer, who has never known war, and a human man, who has seen more than most, find love among the stars? An (eventually) trilogy-spanning story of M!Shep and Tali'Zorah that will grow farther from canon as it gets longer. Rated M for violence, language, and sexual content (eventually). ME1 arc now complete.

Shepard used Joker as bait at the sushi restaurant, and the irony of that was not lost on him. While he understood, and really didn't have an issue with it, after the fact, he did have every intention of using it against her if he could. Fluff warning. Written by request for tbsnihon who had a hankering for Shoker fluff.

Turns out that killing the Collectors and coming out of the Omega 4 Relay wasn't the suicide mission. This is.

"I'm drowning. The walls I've built mean nothing. They crumble at the sight of a black ponytail, two inked arms, brown eyes and one devilish grin." Miranda/Jack. Set some time during ME3.

18 years after the Reaper War, the galaxy is recovering. A new academy has been established to replace the destroyed Jon Grissom station, and the first student born in the aftermath of the war are beginning their journey on the path to becoming Alliance "Special Talents Officers" - Biotics.

Jeff "Joker" Moreau was the best damn pilot in the whole Alliance and he was about to meet his match in a small, red-haired marine who was already a legend. Part 1 of a 3 part series; part 1 covers the first Mass Effect with implied Kaidan/F!Shepard and bits of Joker/F!Shepard. Focuses mainly on the growing relationship between Shepard and Joker. Who doesn't love Joker?

Councilor Tevos goes to Omega to strike a secret bargain with Aria to help Commander Shepard. AriaxTevos one-shot.

Shepard's love life didn't start out from battlefield flirting. More along the lines of, awkward...I'm an Idiot...flirting.

Saren's dead and so is Sovereign but that just means there's two less guys to deal with. Collectors pose an imment threat to Humanity and its time for that to stop. suck at summaries i knw. Please Read and Review
