A little side project to provide an overview over the lore surrounding the Imperial Federation in my books 'Saga of the Bridgers'. There will be different chapters covering History, Politics, Armed Forces, etc...basically it's a Wiki page.

A series of (ideally) short stories exploring smaller aspects of Tali and Shepard's relationship outside of the larger, main-line stories I've written and plan to write, which I do not feel are befitting of a post of their own. This collection will be updated periodically as new entries are completed. Requests/Prompts are welcome, but no guarantees.

Le Commandant Shepard, déclaré mort dans les confins des systèmes Terminus, est finalement rappelé à servir au péril de sa seconde vie pour le bien de la galaxie.

After three hundred years of waiting, the kett have returned and new heroes must face them.

A century has passed since Shepard has met Liara. The T'Soni's and the T'Seius's have united with the bonding of Benezia and Milizkia. The Shepard's have experienced life throughout the years with all the typical family drama. As their lives continue on there will be choices made by some that will cause a ripple effect. What will become of the Shepards? Shepard Stories Series P3.

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.

When Benezia and Saren attack Eden Prime and escape to carry out their sinister plan, Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy must stop them. Can a ragtag bunch of talented but troubled outcasts really stop two of the most dangerous individuals in the Milky Way? My take on the events of Mass Effect 1 to answer the question: what if Benezia and Saren weren't indoctrinated?

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

Event's that lead up to the birth of Limira Lawson. AU. Femslash

Set in an AU where the Geth came to Humanity's aide against the Turians during the First Contact War, Humanity takes a different path. But some things stay the same. Commander Shepard is put forward as the candidate for the Spectre program, he just happens to have an AI in his head. Humanity does not like Quarians, likes the Asari and Salarians and Anderson needs a drink. Or ten.

When a mysterious vessel ambushes and obliterates the Normandy SR1, Ashley and a band of survivors find themselves fighting for their lives, embracing faith, and clinging to hope, on the edge of habitable space...

Ever since she saw Garrus Vakarian, Leena Burke always loved him. The mechanic from the Citadel joins Garrus and Commander Shepard to protect the galaxy. On her adventures Leena will face danger, adventure, and possibly love. Only time will say if she will have the courage to tell the Archangel how she truly feels.

Foreword, I plan on a few changes to the story such as time of start being after 3 years after the second game instead of half of one for obvious reasons.

You all know how these stories go. OC gets inserted into Mass Effect and fights alongside Shepard to save the galaxy. Wait what? What do you mean that it's more complicated than that? What could possibly change? What do you mean "the main character isn't human"? Well, what are they then?

A detailed breakdown of the structure of the Human Systems Alliance and their vehicles. To create this, I have combined preexisting lore with my own head canon in order to organise and flesh out the Systems Alliance. This guide is tied to my novelisation of the mass effect games and is constantly being updated as I go.

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. Parallel AU, Part 1 Complete

Jane Shepard has been a mercenary for years, fighting pirates and slavers in the Terminus Systems. But when her brother returns and Jane decides to tell the truth about herself, she's not sure how things will play out from here. [AU, Shepard siblings. John/Tali. Jane's pairing to be decided later (likely F/F). Mostly Jane's POV. Starts at Lazarus Station.]

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...

What would happen if someone with vast knowledge about the Mass Effect Universe, both official (wiki/Codex) and theoretical (fanfics), a plan and decent fighting ability was dropped into that Universe 13 years before Eden Prime? As it turns out, quite a lot! FemShep. Soft HFY, self-insert.
