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.

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 (slow burn).

The Citadel Council - an organization tasked with maintaining the peace, stability and prosperity of the known galaxy. It is a task they had mostly excelled at since the Krogan Rebellions. The Councilors have the weight of the galaxy upon their shoulders and have to constantly balance the needs and interests of their governments and people... Competent Council AU.

Lieutenant Commander Shepard didn't know that she was never supposed to be on the Normandy, much less receive visions from the beacon on Eden Prime.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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