Some people spend their whole lives searching for love, others stumble into it completely by chance. Nicola "Nikki" Shepard was devastated when her childhood sweetheart left Mindoir, but fate is a fickle creature and in the long run it was probably for the best. Starting with brief snapshots on Mindoir and other events pre-ME1 then hopefully continuing throughout the trilogy. F/F

It was supposed to be a simple shakedown cruise. It was so much more. She was supposed to be his Commanding Officer. She became so much more. How could Kaidan Alenko know this one mission would change his life so completely? How could he know this one woman would alter the course of his future so fully?

Commander Shepard gave up her life at the Crucible to end the war and give her people a chance for peace. She never expected to wake up again. A short story of life after (almost) death. Again.

Since that day at the memory wall though, he felt like he could finally breath out a sigh of relief. Because even in the midst of this galaxy wide war – there was so much to look forward to.

Samantha was led to believe the deal included a couple of children, but Shepard is dilly-dallying. There's only so many years one can wait for something to happen before getting ready to give up, and Shepard must find closure regarding her own childhood before she can start her own family.

After the Reaper War, the Normandy crew gets assigned to a garden world for a breeding program to bring back several extinct races. Everyone's getting laid, so it's gonna be a very... Fun time. (Smut fic. Not everything will make sense. Some but not all characters present. Mass x-over)

Death, a coma, being forced to run for her life, and a run in with Cerberus... Shepard finds herself in her captain's quarters, trying to get an understanding on, well, everything, when she's interrupted by Joker, desperate for a reason why.

During the final battle with the Reapers, Shepard encounters The Illusive Man on the citadel. He offers Shepard the choice to go back in time and fix their mistakes and hopefully be better prepared for the fight against the Reapers.

Follow Matriarchs Lidanya and Irissa three centuries before the events of 2183. What drew them together and nearly tore them apart? First of four stories in this series.

Sequel to Morinth's Revenge. With the Council permitting Ardat-Yakshi to integrate in societies across the galaxy, Falere finds her peace working for Councillor Irissa on the Citadel.

Meet Aki Shepard younger sister of the Great Commander Jane Shepard, follow her as she travels with her sister and the crew of Normandy to kick ass and save lives.

In a world where the mind creates what is real at the wish of a thought, Lothairaxl bears forth from a moon not far from Earth. The genes of a civilization wove forth to make it real. Artificial intelligence breaks boundaries so soon after the Reapers' demise, but how? The story of a planet in which lust blooms by salty shores and lives across species blend against understanding…

A series of fics spanning the end of ME1 to post ME3. Inspired by song titles/lyrics. Femshep/Liara

Inspired by wondering what if ME 2 had ME Andromeda squad and crew interactions. Explore a Normandy were it has enough mommy, daddy and child issues to be a study in a psychological textbook. These are the semi-serious, semi humorous misadventures of the Crew of the SR2 Normandy.

Two and a half years after he helped Shepard destroy the Reaper Sovereign, Michael Liddle restlessly waits for the Commander's return. He knows what is coming, but will he be able to stop it? A continuation of Mass Effect: Interloper. Self Insert. Rated T for Terrific.

There are two constants in life for the crew of the Normandy. Firstly, danger is around every corner. Any mission may be their last. Secondly, Shepard's fish are all doomed to die of starvation. These are the stories of the crew as they struggle through the perils of their leader's pets dying.

Join Miranda Lawson and her unlikely band of allies as she lurches around the Terminus trying to avoid the Reapers, Cerberus, the Citadel authorities, and a long list of aliens she ever harmed during her long terrorist employment, long enough to save her sister from her father's evil clutches. Miranda - ME3 setting - written as if in canon universe

Ashley Williams finds herself at the heart of a blood feud between her distant ex-lover and the Milky Way's most infamous information dealer. (Sequel to "Don't Get Too Close." Alternate Universe - Canon. Story events closely follow those of ME2: Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC.)

My take on Shepard and Tali's love scene before the assault on the Collector base.

What if Shepard survived the Battle of the Citadel and reunited with the quarian he adored? A post story following the end of the Reaper Wars. Might add more depending. Pairings: Talimancer, AshleyxJames NOTE: Contains cursing and some sexual themes.

You were correct. I did once tell you, 'In another time. Another life.' Because I had not known I would live that life. But I have. We have.

Here is a large chunk of my own Shepard story. It's heavily based on the game, so much of the dialogue will be recognizable, with my own flair added in for spice to fill in a few blanks. FemShep/Garrus I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Would love reviews. Smut start at Ch. 33, fair warned, with open season afterwards. Most are easy to skip over. Or find :)

A loose collection of short drabbles about how Commander Joan Shepard's asexuality affects her life - her view of herself, her relationships with others, and her state of mind. Also, occasional Shenko fluff that may or may not be directly related, but set in the same continuity. Parenthetical numbers in chapter names indicate which game it takes place in.

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.
