Only one sits atop the throne of Shepard's subjectivity. Ashley/FemShep, Liara/FemShep. Miranda/FemShep, Aria/FemShep. Power plays, intense loves. Renegon Infiltrator FemShep. Spans the Mass Effect Trilogy.

When I bought the Legendary Edition of Mass Effect I'd expected to re-live the wonder of the game, I never expected to actually 'live' it though

In the years since her family was killed, J.R. Shepard has learned to put the personal aside in favor of the professional. But as the galaxy's crises become her responsibility, as she gathers around her the people who will aid her, she finds a new family, and love that she never expected, and will have to learn how to put the two halves of herself back together.

This is part of a collection of One-Shots of "The Many Faces Of Shepard". This is a Garrus/Shepard/Kaidan love triangle of sorts. Kaidan asks Shepard to meet him at a cafe in the Citadel, and he confronts her about her "cheating" with Garrus. She gets angry. Biotic and semi-renegade Shepard.

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.

A summary set of position papers submitted by the human Commissariat to the Lords of Sol, justifying and explaining many of the more extreme elements seen in the mainfic and side stories or documentation. This will be a sort of 'mixed' story format: one section mostly a position paper, the next interaction between the Commissars and the Lords, or scenes of them digging things up.

This is where I will put all my ideas and explanations for humanities weapons and systems. I decided that I didn't want to add it to my main story. If you have any ideas for anything comment them and I'll credit it.

The cold war never ended it simply spread to the stars. Humans have never been more united but the division is still there. In the face of Galatic politics how will humanity fair? MAD still exists and now the Citadel must deal with a race that preaches it. The powder keg that is humanity is waiting for the spark of war. Who will ignite it? Beta needed

He was just a kid from earth. Who would've thought that 11 years later he gets sent on the most important mission in human (and galactic) history. Will Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy be able to defeat Saren in the race against time? Takes place before and during Mass Effect 1. (Earthborn/Sole Survivor/Soldier/Default MShep).

When confronted with evidence of bribery, asari CEO Benezia T'Soni makes a decision that will irreversibly alter the course of her life. To protect her family's reputation, she offers her body to a devious, lustful human Spectre.

A human exotic dancer feels nervous before performing on stage at a nightclub. Her asari dancing partner helps her relax. One-Shot.

Alejandra Shepherd is many things: talented smuggler, charming rogue, excellent shot - even a decent bodyguard and escort, if the money is right. But a hero? Trade her freedom for sacrifice and (maybe) glory? No, thanks. However, when her path crosses with that of the SSV Normandy, Aleja is drawn into a conflict much bigger than herself.

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.

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

Lt. Commander Shepard, White Death of Elysium, borderline pariah, new commander the SSV Normandy. Hackett tasks her with the thankless, redaction-heavy missions N7s train for. Along the way she forms an unlikely band of misfits into a highly effective army, and discovers just how thin the galaxy's veneers of normalcy are. (An AU/"Reaper-free" TV-Show-format series.)

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)

Rewrite of Life in Gray. Garrus and Shepard throughout the trilogy and beyond. There is no Shepard without Vakarian.

The defeat of Sovereign brought reprieve, not victory, and an all too short one as new threats emerge. Amongst their victims is the Normandy, heroine of the hunt for Saren, and with the ship's destruction comes the loss of not just friends but also family. For Shepard, the mission is now one for vengeance, at any cost. Sequel to A Call to Duty.

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?

The essence that is Commander Shepard has fought the battle against the Reapers more times than she can count, only to find herself right back where it all started. Never the exact same body, never the same first name or history. The disembodied voice struggles to break her way through to the consciousness of her current incarnation, trying to find a way to break her own cycle.

Pandora Shepard grew up on military ships. The military is all she's ever known. It's what her mother does, what her father did, and what Shepard has done since she was 18 years old. In between training and missions, there's never been time for juvenile things like love and romance. Or rather, it wasn't something she had ever concerned herself with until now. REWRITE IN PROGRESS.

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.

With friends and family at her side, Dr Liara T'Soni travels the galaxy, digging up the long-lost trail of the Protheans. Setting aside her life as an active Spectre, Shepard settles into domestic life (of sorts) to accompany Liara on her journey. Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

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.
