This is an in-universe document story covering the history and the major players of the Terminus systems. This includes Omega and Aria as well as new cultures, people and forces alongside the context of the region and how it relates to the Citadel. Written by the mighty Xabiar, with inputs from several members of the Editing Gang. Some of the concepts will be mature.

The year is 2253, sixty-seven years after the war against the Reapers ended with their destruction. The galaxy has gradually been rebuilt and peace reigns between the different races in the galaxy. It is to maintain this peace that a squadron of the best pilots of each race was created in 2212. A group that quickly became a legend, becoming The Wings of Dawn. [OC Human/ OC Turian]

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.

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.

A continuation and remaster of Mal Cobb's A Measure of Salvation, a harrowing, intense, and visceral epic spanning from ME2 to ME3. Miri/Shepard pairing. Action! Mystery! Fluff! Adventure! Suspense! Chapters posted frequently, and would love to hear your suggestions! M for graphic violence, drug use, language, sexual content (Most of the content up till c.45 is Mal Cobb's work)

Things have been complicated between Kaidan and Olivia Shepard since Horizon and only got worse after w back in the Normandy, after talking with James, he decided to fix things between them before this war take his chance of doing so, but how can he after pushing her away for so long?

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.

[AU] The Illusive Man said that salvation comes with a cost. When corruption seeps into the galaxy, when centuries of status quo suddenly breaks in a mere decade, when blood's spilled among the stars like never before, when extinction looms over civilization, when morality is merely a shade... salvation can only come with sacrifice. [AU First Contact War & Reaper War; GRAPHIC]

Alessia woke up in the Cerberus facility... without a clue as to who she is.

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...

Stars inspire hope; represents endless possibility and beauty. Everyone sees it except her, until a Mr.Garrus Vakarian begins to remind her that stars are constantly moving, advancing in space and expanding in their unique beauty. This is a story of growth,hardship & love. I am hoping this story gives depth to who Shepard was and is as a woman, daughter, friend, lover and leader.

Garrus, Shepard, and a hell of a lot of banter. ME2 setting with throwback to ME1; friendship and eventual romance with emphasis on dialogue and character development. Rated M for language.

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 Protheans would alter their so-called perfect cycle by moving the few mass relays near Sol out of humanity's reach...

Shepard finds himself falling in love with the violent, complex woman known only as Jack. This is the story of their relationship from Mass Effect 2 and beyond. Rated M for language, violence and suggestive themes. Mass Effect 3 arc now in progress!

We don't get to choose where our story begins, where it takes us, and most certainly where it ends. The Reaper War may have ended twenty-five years ago, but aboard the SSV Hippocrates a Spectre takes his first steps on a journey that will decide the fate of a trillion souls.

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

[Pairing: femShepxJoker] - Takes place in ME3. 'Dat' Purgatory bar scene and takes off from there. *Update* New Chapters 14 to 18 up. R&R

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. 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

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).
