Life is just a series of choices. Some of them big, some of them insignificant. I used to think it was easy to tell the difference, but after a seemingly harmless decision leaves me stranded in Mass Effect, I'm suddenly not so sure. Now, stuck three years before the events of the first game, I've got quite a few decisions to make. I just hope that I make the right ones. Self-insert

*ME3 SPOILERS* The Citadel is under attack and it falls to Kaidan to protect the Council. When Shepard appears, seemingly intent on killing one of them, he has to make a choice. Head canon interpretation of Priority: Citadel II. Shenko-heavy.

What would I do if I'd wake up in the ME universe just after I played the games? Probably this... Trying to change the ending. SI story, starting with ME1, then taking a new turn.

Newly promoted Spectre Seraphina Shepard is partnered with tough krogan Wrex and turian sniper Garrus to face the threat of Cerberus and restore order to the galaxy, but they aren't prepared for the horrors and trials that Cerberus throws at them at every turn. Will the Spectre's fufill their mission, or will Cerberus prevail? AU. F/ShepxWrex.

Readers: We have restructured our online news sources. Galactic Media News gladly presents a bi-weekly news report covering various events in the galaxy, post-Reapers. The galactic citizen needs an unbiased and reliable news source; the TFRN gladly supplies that. (Reading "The Butcher" is REQUIRED to understand this piece. Please see my profile/search.)

Following the activation of the Crucible, Shepard is given a choice by a rather eccentric figure.

I literally have no idea where this is going. But I'm into it. Feel free to follow along.

Super minor DLC spoilers concerning Aria and renegade Shepard, but it's the only spoiler (and it's super minor and has nothing to do with the plot whatsoever). The events of this story are the consequences to that one little thing that happens and Kaidan decides to exact 'revenge' on Shepard for her grievances. Pure fluff, no plot. You've been warned. Shenko.

A story about the life of John Shepard. Slightly adjusted to make the story of mass effect even better.

The biggest beat-down in the history of beat-downs. Another ending-fix, because I can't deal with the FEELS. Happily ever after minific, rated T for mild language.

Commander James Shepard's last thoughts before taking control of the Reapers. Will assume the IT as the truth. One-Shot.

Pwp fic: set one year after the end of the Reaper war. It's liara's and shepards first anniversary and Shepard decides to suprise liara. But since Shepard never has the best of luck, things don't always work out. This is basically a shamelessly fluffy story (since too much fluff is never a bad thing). But the rating is earned. Please read and review.

From ME1 onwards. Sara Shepard has always walked the line but with the Reapers closing in, who is there to keep her on the straight and narrow when the chips are down?

The war is over, everything went back to normal and it s Liara and Janes wedding day. But Jane is extremly nervous. (Yes I know that Anderson died, but not in my own ending... maybe I translate that one too) - just a short fluffy one

Shepard & Kaidan have an argument, but it isn't what was said that matters; what matters is everything that came before.

At the beginning of the reaper war John inherited some interesting cargo from Miranda. He didn't know it then, but this cargo would teach him & his crew some very important things. Like how what we are does not define who we are, just as blood does not define family, and love is defined by nothing. James Vega/OC, John Shepard/Joker.

Drabble, dark, my take of a semi-extreme Shepard. Shepard has hates batarians. Ever since they attacked Mindoir, Shepard has held on to that hate. Torfan, Shepard led men and women into one of the bloodiest engagements ever against the batarians. Today Shepard has caught a batarian trying to use their codes to perpetuate survivors. Not so long as the Butcher lived.

An extension to the ending of the Mass Effect 3 game. I figured Shepard needed a bit of a break. Enjoy

In the early days of the Normandy SR-2, Karin Chakwas must navigate a minefield of loyalties.

Private Westmoreland usually guards the door on the Normandy and not much else. A new assignment leads to a bit of excitement in an otherwise dull routine.

After a close call on Therum, the crew unwinds. Written for a request: "Joker saves the day".

Six months before the events of Mass Effect, a young turian named Arlen Kryik is recruited into an elite C-Sec unit known as the Interceptors, a cadre of agents responsible for hunting fugitives throughout the galaxy. Partnered with veteran agent Garrus Vakarian, Arlen quickly becomes embroiled in a terrorist plot to destroy the Council and plunge the galaxy into chaos...

As the Alliance Fleet is increasing its size rapidly, alarm bells ring through the galaxy. Tensions are rising between the aliens and humanity. When Councillor Anderson is arrested and sent to jail secretly, only a few see through the deception of the Alliance Fleet. But they must remain wary, for the enemy they face is ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Such a small number, the number six. It was seemingly insignificant quantity when compared to the likes of 175/90 BP, 102 F or 150 mg. …The number 'six' was an introduction to Hell. A take on the six months that Chakwas is dry-docked and working at Huerta as a result of Shepard's incarceration. Pre-ME3.

Shepard has defeated the Reapers, but what happens after? What happens when a Cerberus offshoot gets a hold of her and tries to use her as a weapon? Rated M for violence and adult situations. Garrus romance prevalent in later chapters.
