HMS Isaac Newton and HMS Alexander Fleming open the Shanxi Relay. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. The following course of events would lead to Humanity's first hot war in over a century, a war which could have exploded into full on Interspecies Total War, assuming of course the various human nations could even agree on anything.

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.

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.

Cuillean Kiross wants to flee Rakhana with his wife and unborn son, but his employers have other plans he needs to fulfill obligations for—if he wants to be let free with some strings attached. Cuillean is promised freedom if he commits one final act of atrocity for the Gov'annon, and murders the clan Cahira—a host of drells and their families who took in an orphan by the name…

[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)

Dahnna, daughter of Eufemiusz Kiross and brother to the beleaguered Cuillean, is hunted. With the help of her friend, a silent drell from Rakha and known as the Morthwyl, she seeks to escape.

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

Ever since she saw Garrus Vakarian, Leena Burke always loved him. The mechanic from the Citadel joins Garrus and Commander Shepard to protect the galaxy. On her adventures Leena will face danger, adventure, and possibly love. Only time will say if she will have the courage to tell the Archangel how she truly feels.

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.

Everyone needs some rest at some point, right? Though, for Mia Shepard, that 'earned' rest could wait a little longer, at least to the moment when they would finally defeat the Reapers. However, it seems she has no other choice but to dock up her ship, and chill out for a couple of days.

In the years since her family was killed, J.R. Shepard has learned to put the personal aside in favor of the professional. But as the galaxy's crises become her responsibility, as she gathers around her the people who will aid her, she finds a new family, and love that she never expected, and will have to learn how to put the two halves of herself back together.

The Citadel Council and the Turian Hierarchy has been at war for a good half of a century. Eager to break the stalemate, The Hierarchy seeks out a new ally in a rising Systems Alliance, bringing the war back to full speed. The Alliance now goes through it's trial by fire, as it emerges from obscurity into the galactic stage. (AU no Krogan Rebellions/First Contact Wars)

The Pulse is what the Quarians call the destructive wave sent out by the Citadel that destroyed the Reapers. It has affected their planet more than anywhere else. Desperate for answers, Tali is tasked - who is still on Earth helping Shepard recover - with finding those answers. What she finds could change everything - for her, for her people, and for those that have been lost.

The Protheans eliminated the Reapers but their population has dwindled to hundreds and unable to continue their empire. How the story would go without the Reapers. FemShep.

Miranda Lawson has fallen for the Commander. Hard. It started with nothing more than dreams that she paid no mind to, but they have since manifested into a yearning to find out if fantasy may become a reality. Or, will it only remain a fantasy?

5 years post DE AU: Best Left Said. Osco is gone. Spectre T'soni and Dr. Shepard are now scouring the galaxy for any traces of advanced exo-alien tech in order to preserve the safety of their home from similar such threats. But there is more than one universe out there; more than one T'soni, and more than one Shepard, as well. All just as determined, but not all heroes.

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.

Fanfiction Novel: Origins to Post-Reaper War (W/DLC). Timeline/Source is the ME Wikia. I'm retelling the story while staying true to the game we know and love. 2022 update: this is a fun writing exercise for me, so if you think it's bad, great! Don't read it. If you love the game and love the potential for deeper character investigation, I hope you enjoy this fun little project.

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

Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. 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.

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?

Someone's dead. Someone's horny. And someone bought a naughty gift. M for smut. A lot of smut ;)

A follow up to my previous fic, To Understand His Alien Mind. Here, Tali finally confesses that to John that she's chosen him as her saera. Cover art belongs to LogiSpaz on Deviant Art.

Due to a drive core malfunction, a human vessel arrives just in time to save the Council Envoy from the yahg. What happens when humanity enters the galactic stage not as the race that got attacked by the turians for breaking a law they weren't aware of, but as the race that saved a turian platoon from certain death? M for wartime violence, pre ME1 - ME3, no OP humanity.
