Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

Desperate for answers, Tali is tasked - who is still on Earth helping Shepard recover - with finding those answers.

Goddess of mind, goddess of heart - closed-off without consent, She cannot flourish; unlocked to the universe in trust and control, She protects from all outside influences.

Spans the Mass Effect Trilogy.

In which Shepard is a terrible fish owner, EDI is a snitch, and Joker can't deal with compliments.

During the events of ME3, Shepard is plagued by nightmares. After a particularly horrific one, Joker tries to comfort her, but the Commander's walls are hard to tear down.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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 makes no sense. Asari DNA is far too complex to be altered, enhanced...or hybridized. Right? OR A spooky story with murder mystery elements, Aria/Tevos, 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)

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

Shepard must face the consequences of his actions in choosing to destroy the Alpha Relay, but he knows it's a waste of time as the Reapers are coming and a galaxy wide war will follow.
