"A sound brewed in his chest that was not quite a growl and not quite a sigh. 'You cheated,' he breathed lowly, but it wasn't with accusation. There was the slight hint of amusement to his smoke-lined voice. And then deeper, almost hidden, a lace of danger to his words." - Thane and Shepard's war of the heart was decided well before it even began.

Lieutenant Serrica Shepard, demoted for her actions on the Torfan raid of 2178, was somehow selected by a turian Spectre to join his organization. Cocky, but fair. Unbreakable, yet not indestructible. A soldier, but always human. Starting from Mass Effect 1 and going until I drop. Rated M for the swearing alone, but also lots and lots of fictional violence, and sexual encounters.

The Dead Man walked out into view. "What, did you really think that I would give myself up? That I would just walk out onto the stage, ready for the curtain call? No no no, I would like the nickname to stay just that, for the time being anyway." Story about the Dead Man, a new companion. Eventual FShep/OC, Language, Violence.

"I'm...sorry, Kaidan…good…bye…" she managed to whisper. The last thing she heard before the darkness completely engulfed her was Kaidan yelling her name. 'I'm so, so sorry…' Shenko one shot. What I believed happened, or could have happened during the final moments of Shepards life between ME1 and ME2.

A very pointless (slightly NSFW) piece of ridiculous fluff about a pair of ridiculous socks.

What was John Shepard's life like to forge him into the first human Spectre? What turns did his life take that encouraged him on this path? Who was the child who would grow up to become the beacon of hope for entire civilisations? This is pre-prequel of sorts to my other ME stories, setting up Shepard's character, motivations and experiences up to the point where the game's begin.

Commander Kara Shepard has finally lost it. Going insane with guilt and depression after the attack on the collector base, she tries to end it all, but her crew wont let her go without a fight. Femshep and Liara romance. Rated M for dark material and some language.

Captain John Shepard finds himself alone and did some little review of his journey in the middle of a Turian invasion on not so same Earth. (one shot)

It was supposed to be an easy job for Raven. Apprehend the woman, hand her over and get paid. At least, it would have been easy, if it had been an ordinary woman. But Arlynn Reenz was anything but ordinary. As their paths entwine, they are thrown into a chase that will lead to discoveries neither one wanted to find.

Eight hundred years after the Reaper War, two asari scientists discover an old contingency plan.

Re-post for a more self-contained story. The stories of Akuze and Mindoir as lived by Commander Amelia Shepard. Everything that turned her into the ruthless, stubborn, and self-destructive woman that was selected as a Spectre candidate. First chapter is setup. The other two are payoff. Rated M for extreme violence and gore, mainly in Chapter 3 but somewhat in 2. Suicidal themes.

My name is Nathaniel Wolfert. The day everything changed was when I was handed a gun and told to kill someone. This is my story and how I altered the events of the galaxy. OC insert with several other OC's sprinkled in throughout. Sequel is up and running!

Who is Shepard? Where does this power come from? Why is Miranda so interested? Powerful fem!shep. Rated M for language, violence and lemons. Fem!Shep/Miranda.

"'Got to love these bionic limbs.' Her fingers brush over the last of her own skin, before the stump of her thigh turns into smooth metal and carbon fiber. She misses it sometimes, the leg she lost in the war." - Kaidan and Shepard share their phantom pain beneath the stars.

A collection of ficlets for tumblr prompts with several characters from the games. Shepard/Thane; Shepard/Garrus. Chapter 3: A Shakarian Valentine.

While recovering from his lung transplant in Huerta Memorial, Thane is looking forward to joining Shepard in her fight against the Reapers and Cerberus. His wish comes true sooner than he could have expected. Alternate Universe / my headcanon of how Thane's story should have continued in Mass Effect 3.

"And then a shuddering exhale leaves him. Quaking and tear-laced. If Shepard could look she would see the hand covering his eyes and the tremble to his shoulders. She would see in his face that he lied. He always has." - Thane and Shepard. They never knew the truth could hurt this much.

A series of drabbles set in verse on my RP blog where the sheer act of coming back to life was killing Sarah Shepard, so Cerberus used the DNA sequencing of a long extinct race rumored to have enhanced regenerative abilities. It worked, and she recovered in a fraction of the time. She was, however, changed slowly, not showing symptoms until her incarceration on Earth.

When an old enemy suddenly resurfaces, Commander Selena Shepard finds herself thrown into a world she would rather forget, with a woman she thought was dead. Once again, it's up to her to save the galaxy...if she could just keep it together.

The mission is clear: Rescue scientists and their research from Cerberus. A simple distraction from all the death and despair going on in the universe. That Shepard and Tali discover something about Garrus he never wanted them to know is a nice side-effect.

The Normandy crashed on an unknown jungle planet, and Shepard is presumed dead. But she came back from the dead once, and Kaidan refuses to sit around not knowing for sure. But the mass effect relays are broken, Edi isn't running the Normandy, and no one knows for sure if the Reapers are dead. Set right after the end of the game, if Shepard destroyed the Reapers. Strong language.

Kaidan Alenko knew he'd lost the woman he once loved, she'd moved on and he was happy for her. All he needed to do was tell her. This is an out take from my fic Careful What you Wish For, from Kaidan's POV. Previous Shenko, current Shega. A different take on the Apollo Cafe scene. Bioware owns all things ME.

The galaxy has gone to hell and our last dawn approaches. There is no way out of an apocalypse. (Set in ME3. Short stories which may or may not be connected to each other. There may be appearances from ME characters in the future. Enjoy)

This is a story that I will be working on for some time so bear with me and the rating is there because of gore and minor-major sexual themes. This is a story of a Quarian who is going on the standard pilgrimage but nothing will be really standard about her trip. (action, drama, suspense, and tragedy) (Picture credits goes to Wrinki and Nagek)

Shepard's POV over Alchera. Mild language and (obvious) character death
