Asterism: A pattern of stars that make up part of a larger constellation. The Normandy's crew takes shape piece by piece, its members bound by fierce battles and the quiet moments in between, recruited for a manhunt that determines the fate of the galaxy. A collection of scenes from the beginning to the end of the search for Saren. Will have eventual Shepard/Liara.

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.

After stopping the coup attempt on the Citadel, Kaiden rejoins the crew on Normandy, with a lot of questions for Commader Kacey Shepard about her time with Cerberus. It's about time he got an explanation! A causal retelling of Mass Effect 2 and a slight AU for Mass Effect 3. KaidenXFemShepard

Tali'Zorah was just looking for a worthy pilgrimage gift, but is sucked into the adventure of her liftime instead. At the helm: Commander Shepard, greatest hero of the Alliance. But with a life of violence and loss behind him and the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders, Tali soon finds that perhaps John Shepard needs her just as much as she needs him... Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

Mass Effect 3 Ending, just written as how I wished it could of ended.

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.

Shepard is not dealing with the arrival of the Reapers, and the following events well at all. Joker tries to be there for her.

"The galaxy is going to try its best to forget you. I know that now. But I never will." The events between Mass Effect 1 and 2, as told via C-Sec Officer Garrus Vakarian's communication logs. Continues the storyline from "Access Granted: SSV Normandy SR-1" - but can be read as a standalone by anyone who is familiar with the events of the games.

Fate played as much a role in Shepard's defeat of the Reapers as did his skill. What if fate had different plans? Did you know that the Shepard on Mindoir was born as a twin? What if both had survived the raid? How would the Reapers have dealt with TWO great heroes instead of one? It's time to find out just how much better and worse things get with TWO Shepards fighting a war.

Eight years ago, John and Jane Shepard survived the batarian assault on Mindoir. They return to find their homeworld once again under attack, but have no intention of letting it fall this time. [AU. Marine Maleshep without War Hero, Sole Survivor, or Ruthless backgrounds. Biotic mercenary Femshep. Not canon-compliant. Story starts in 2178, and might progress to the trilogy's time.]

Les aventures explosives de l'Inspecteur Harrius Kallaghian, un flic turien de la Citadelle aux méthodes expéditives, qui ne jure que par trois choses: la Loi, l'Ordre... et la puissance balistique de son Carnifex! Toute ressemblance avec le légendaire Inspecteur Harry Callahan n'aurait rien d'une coïncidence.

Against all odds, Shepard and the crew of the Normandy have defeated the Collectors. Understandably, they wish to commemorate this triumph with a party. Shenanigans ensue.

It's hard to adopt a young child when most are afraid of your scars, but somehow, Garrus and Tali manage to make settling down a reality... temporarily, because the peace can never last. Thracius soon discovers that being a Normandy kid can be complicated; life involves Spectres, war, and fifteen-plus krogan 'cousins'(and climbing). And then, there's the Terminus Systems problem.

The Reapers are gone. Shepard is dead. And as Garrus tries to put down an old enemy, and Javik plans to put himself down, fickle fate lands them on the same planet. A 50,000 year old failed mission and an insane mercenary thought to be dead have combined into a deadly powder keg that they'll have to work together to defuse. Somehow.

For Aeons untold, the reapers used their large numbers in addition to their expertise in advanced technorganic and mass effect science to harvest the advanced races of the galaxy...But they were far from infallible, in their arrogance, the reapers missed that the Aeil'vyga would alter their so-called perfect cycle by moving the few mass relays near Sol out of humanity's reach...

FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not super canon-y, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your version of the characters. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's POV. Rated T for blood-curdling swears. FemShep/Ashley (slow burn).

The Number #1 Bestseller from Casey Nova, the author of self-help hits "Does Her Malyk Like You?", "You Don't Have To Be HER Forever Girl: Not Asking For Too Much From Asari Partners", the travel guide "Thessia For the Thickheaded", the memoir "A Black Girl Goes Blue", the historical romance "Serrice Serenade" and the up-coming thriller "In a Nos Astra Minute".

Co-written by Magpie Corvidae - Aria T'Loak will stop at nothing to take Omega back from Cerberus. The key to her secret plan is... Hanar action star Blasto's next blockbuster vid? Yup, but keeping this quiet gets harder when a certain human reporter starts poking around. A comic sequel to both Magpie's 'Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani, Westerlund News' and Fred's 'One Tough Cloaca.'

After the war? New battles were to be waged and new heroes to be created. Rated T for violence, death, and profanity.

James finds Shepard in a rare moment of vulnerability, and it changes how he feels about her before the end.

John Shepard only had a few things he gave a damn about. His sister: Captain Jane Shepard. His best friend: Garrus Vakarian and his soft spot for Tali'Zorah. But all he could do was watch as they left him, one by one. Though the threat of the Reapers was still a problem and he would be damned if they won, not if he could help it... Even if he had to sell his soul to accomplish it.

Decades after the end of the Reaper War, a young krogan warrior battles enemies out of history with help from an unexpected source. References to past shepard x garrus. Fits with the continuity of "Access Granted" but can be read as a standalone.

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)

This is the full rewrite of the original Interloper, first posted almost ten years ago. Summary: Follow the adventures of Michael Liddle as he quite literally falls into the ME universe. A self insert covering the events of the first entry of the series. Follows the story of the Normandy crew and more as they strive to save a changing galaxy.

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.
