In the aftermath of the Reaper War, Shepard and Tali endure their own hells to come back to each other. (Cover art belongs to Epantiras on Deviant Art.)

They have sent a loan razer to Earth to station itself for touchdown and reporting…And to collect their missing chief science officer—a cloned mod named Cat Smythe and her bantons. Aided by Sieis with the ability to block biotic power, shunting its effects, Catherine Smythe runs across Rakhana's Upper Mier desert to evade Kasumi Goto and Tetonbaum, the mysterious half-brother of…

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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.

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)

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".

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

Having assembled most of his team and retrieved the Reaper IFF, Commander Shepard gets one more dossier from the Illusive Man – Jane Shepard. The problem? She's on Fehl Prime, and the Collectors are about to strike. [AU, Shepard siblings. Story starts post-IFF mission and may advance into ME3 as well. MShep/Miranda. Femshep's pairing to be added later. The J. Garson tag is FShep.]

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.

Miranda is feeling kinda lonely... and what the hell is EDI doing?

Journey through three galactic cycles of life and death against the Reapers - an epic telling of lost stories spanning from the distant reaches of time to the Normandy and her crew.

They were supposed to be back six hours ago. Yet somehow, Shepard and Garrus, were not. To say Miranda was miffed would be an understatement.

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 galaxy is once more turned upside down in a war that has raged for longer than most can remember. I thought it was over... I hoped it was over. I was wrong.

A continuation of ME: Book II - The Spectre Chronicles. After waking up in a Cerberus space station, Shepard demands answers and finds out that she had died two years prior with the destruction of the Normandy. With two years of her absence, how will the galaxy react to her returning, and how will she react to what the galaxy has become?

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…

After the fall of the Archon, the kett leadership falls to Primus. She has taken the kett away and took many species with her from the Milky Way for study. After three hundred years of waiting, the kett have returned and new heroes must face them. The new Mass Effect story begins with a hero that must unite two super powers to save the Andromeda from the coming threat.

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.

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 story details have been altered for the sake of the story.
