A prequel of sorts in preparation of a roleplaying segment set in the Premiseverse, combined with expanding on understanding some of the pre-Prothean races and their impact on the current cycle. Warning, this is going to be hard and ugly sci-fi horror mixed with political maneuvering and science babble. Language, imagery and concepts are probably best not left to teens or children

AU:(No reapers, Humanity lost first contact war) John Shepard is abducted from his home and sold as a slave. When a strange power awakens within him, he sees this as the chance to destroy "the alien oppressor". However he learns that the galaxy isn't so black and white. Meanwhile forces conspire in the shadows of the galaxy, and he must decide if freedom is the right of all beings.

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.

Shepard has a home decorating itch.

The world turns, even after a hero falls. Lines are drawn, blood is spilled, and in the shadows, an ancient power stirs. The galaxy needs a hero to rise to the occasion, and live up to her father's legacy...

2190. Reapers collect dust in the vastness of the Milky Way galaxy. Waste left by the rare unity of a diverse space fleet among the civilized worlds of Council races. In the cleanup following their victory, the surviving races of the galaxy discover a Reaper of planet-size proportions—likened to the size of Luna, the corpse rotates endlessly in orbit with Sol…

Andromeda was a fresh start for Alec Ryder after the death of his beloved wife and fall from grace in the Milky Way in more ways then one. "Be better." Is what his wife told him. So he will be. Lyra Ryder isn't a fighter. She was never going to be some great war hero like her estranged father. But now with Andromeda less than ideal she may have to set the pen down and pick up a gun

Years after the war, Garrus and Tali start 'thinking' about children, and in typical Normandy fashion, they 'accidentally' start a family. As in a kid practically gets thrown at them, and, being suckers, they get attached in less than five minutes. It goes shockingly well at first, but of course the galaxy decides it just doesn't want to stay saved. Typical.

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

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

Meet Alyneia Shepard, a young woman ready to take on the galaxy. Will she be truly ready for what she is about to face, will her friends and family support her? Will she find love? Or will she bring the supposed inevitable end upon the galaxy, failing to protect everyone?

Restored to life by Cerberus, Commander Shepard attempts to salvage his plans to stop the Reapers, survive whatever Cerberus has planned for him, and build a harem of beautiful lovers. Takes place during Mass Effect 2 and is the first in a three book series that will conclude with the Reaper War.

Reyes Vidal... Sara Ryder. Two different people with two different goals in Andromeda. Could it really work? Or would secrets, lies and new dangers tear them apart? Based on my own Ryder from the game. All other characters are owned by Bioware.

Joker has a string of bad luck that lands him in the med bay. Luckily, Doctor Chakwas is there to take on her unofficial ship mom role.

I'm not a good person. I've killed, and will continue to. However, here and now I have a chance to be better. To make the galaxy better and I'm going to take it. No matter what I have to go through, what I have to endure. I will help Shepard create a better galaxy, even at the cost of my life I will help create a better galaxy. Updates every Saturday.

Shepard may get her name in the annals of history, but she couldn't have done what she did without some help. This is the tale of those who support the legends. Gritty realistic attempt to provide depth to the canon story.

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.

The galaxy of Mass Effect is one of chaos and conflict. So waking up as a race that thrives in such an environment can't be the worst that could happen, right? I awake on the world Tuchanka in the body of a recently deceased alien. Realizing where I am and seeing as I have ten years before the reapers begin, I chose to fight. The decision to fight was easy. Because I am Krogan. SI

When an accident with an experimental technology goes awry, William Wright is transported into an unfamiliar world, and is swept up into a mission to save the galaxy. A retelling of Mass Effect 1, from a different perspective. With a new, 'barely a self-insert' character. Some minor story details have been altered for the sake of the story.

In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down. Profile has full description.

Mordin was afraid of this. Before his retirement, he'd heard rumors that DRAG-Zero had captured a unique asari and took it to a genetics lab, which is madness. Asari DNA is far too complex to be altered, enhanced...or hybridized. OR A spooky story with murder mystery elements, lots of queer OCs, and the Asari equivalent of Texas!

Liara T'Soni knows about humans. She lectured on Shanxi the day after Turians made contact, after all. Kate Shepard knows about asari. She trained with Serrice City Guard, after all. She crawled singles bars on Thessia with her unit. Neither is ready for who she meets in a mineshaft below the surface of a fiery world, or the war to come. (FShep & Liara, Multiple POV, Asari culture)

There was a time when they both thought all was well in the galaxy. That time has ended. A chance meeting between a soldier and a politician may change everything, but where will it lead them? In a galaxy ablaze, what will rise from the ashes?

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
