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.]

Updated..can Shepard do to save everyone. Waking up surrounded in Rubble she finds the war is not over and that she is still the only person to stop it. Set directly after the destroy ending and is based on the indoctrination theory and how I want my mass effect story to end. This will also have flashbacks through Mass Effect, with extra scenes I've written. Enjoy. Please review.

What starts off as a mission for a former soldier turned soldier of fortune turns into far more than he bargained for. What happens when you discover a conspiracy affecting the entire galaxy? Rated M for action, language

We all have seen different OC's into the Mass Effect World. We see them dropped into the timelines of Commander Shepard and her crew. Vivori is unfortunately not that lucky being dropped thousands of years before. See her create a race made of Spartan courage, Britain's wisdom and Filipino patriotism. Add a little science in that and she would shake the galaxy with her allies.

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.

"Director's Cut" of the ME epic, fleshing out who our heroes are and how they got that way. Slowly veering off to an AU: The Savior of Elysium IS the Butcher of Torfan, medevac Jenkins, Liara returns to Ilos to reboot Vigil, Shepard rescues Kenson w/ Thane & Kasumi, Aria gets executed, Legion knows TIM is indoctrinated, the Collectors have directed TIM to scuttle Normandy...

A THIRD set of updates to the original! That's right, I'm so incompetent I had to redo it YET AGAIN. Expanded notes on every aspect of the Systems Alliance, from ships, weapons, and armor to government, complete orders of battle, and more terms. Now updated (May 2021) with tactical considerations, plus the March 2020 updates.

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

Tali tries to adapt to life after the Reaper War

But as the galaxy's crises become her responsibility, as she gathers around her the people who will aid her, she finds a new family, and love that she never expected, and will have to learn how to put the two halves of herself back together.

Shepard's awake now. She claims to be fully healed as Grunt and Orrin follow her into space. Through thick and thin the three travel as they are forced apart, and together. Ever searching for the rest of the Normandy crew. Of course, death follows soldiers and wounds take time to heal. (This story is a direct sequel to Escaping Death Yet Again.)

In the aftermath of the Reaper War, Shepard and Tali endure their own hells to come back to each other. (Cover art belongs to Epantiras on Deviant Art.)

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.

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.

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.

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?
