The Reapers have arrived and are devouring all that stands in their path. Commander Scott Gardner and his team must give everything they have to rally the species of the Milky Way into an alliance to fight back before it is too late. Fighting a two-front war against the Reapers and Cerberus, losses are inevitable. Worlds will burn. Sacrifices will be made.

Every great once in a while you stumble upon something that changes your world and makes you fall in love with it. For me, that was Mass Effect; but that love affair only existed for the series to break my heart with a lackluster ending. Little did I know, the universe of Mass Effect needed me - and as it turned out, I needed it, too. (SI)(AU)

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

Wrex was quick to search and recover Shepard. Now he works to keep her survival a secret as his people looked for the Normandy. There's just a few problems with that. 1. The alliance wants her and Hackett suspects she's alive. 2. The mass relays and most of the technology-based around them are no longer functioning. 3. Keeping her alive. Where's Vakarian when he needs him?

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

As the galaxy entered a post-reaper era; peace prevailed as societies began to help each other rebuild. It is difficult for Shepard to imagine herself as a civilian, but that is exactly what she has become. So, through all the trauma she and Garrus had endured, would they really be able to live a normal life? Afterall, they don't go looking for trouble, the trouble finds them.

The Crucible has been fired. The crew of the Normandy, having crash landed on an uncharted world, scramble to repair their ship and reestablish communication with the Alliance Fleet. Uncertainty weighs heavily on the crew, especially its quarian engineer, who wonders if she will ever see her home, or the man she loved, ever again.

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

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?

Our story takes place after Humanity narrowly avoids destroying itself and despite all odds manages to learn from its mistakes. Being a better, kinder species when they encounter another race in need they pull out all the stops to lend assistance.

A tale of Rakhana and Drellkind—not as they are known.

Cerberus has spent billions of credits trying to bring Commander Jane Shepard back from the dead, and despite the odds it seems to be working. 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.

Sable Shepard has a lot of secrets. He's supposed to be dead, for one thing. When his brother, Commander John Shepard, uncovers the reaper threat, Sable is forced to step out of the shadows, because he'll do anything to make sure John survives. It might have been better for the galaxy if he had just stayed dead. Also posted on WP

[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.

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)

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.

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…
