Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. To that goal I will become one of the worst beings in human society. A businessman and politician. A SI/OC-story of a different kind.

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

Jared enjoys his life, he's been going to college, has a healthy lifestyle, and plenty of friends. Everything is changed when mysterious forces come to Earth and make the populace into their entertainment; using peoples minds, they create microverses, force them to live there and be broadcasted for their race. Jared is thrust into a universe of his creation but he has to get back.

A Mass Effect Universe where the Inusannon (the species before the Protheans) used an incomplete Crucible as a last-ditch attempt to destroy the Reapers. It destroyed all mass effect technology within 500 light years of the Orion Arm, including the Sol system, destroying the Reapers and Mass Relays within. Humanity had to grow without Prothean archive/ezzo FTL. Better sum inside.

The Protheans eliminated the Reapers but their population has dwindled to hundreds and unable to continue their empire. How the story would go without the Reapers. FemShep.

With friends and family at her side, Dr Liara T'Soni travels the galaxy, digging up the long-lost trail of the Protheans. Setting aside her life as an active Spectre, Shepard settles into domestic life (of sorts) to accompany Liara on her journey. Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

The Pulse is what the Quarians call the destructive wave sent out by the Citadel that destroyed the Reapers. It has affected their planet more than anywhere else. Desperate for answers, Tali is tasked - who is still on Earth helping Shepard recover - with finding those answers. What she finds could change everything - for her, for her people, and for those that have been lost.

As humanity and other Council races develop along the path set by the Reapers, a different civilization is born. Developing alongside but separately from other species, isolated from the wider galaxy. An Empire with its own FTL technology, independent of Mass Relays. What will happen if a civilization so different from others in almost every way, joins the Galactic community?

I'm not a good person. I've killed, and will continue to. However, here and now I have a chance to be better. To make the galaxy better and I'm going to take it. No matter what I have to go through, what I have to endure. I will help Shepard create a better galaxy, even at the cost of my life I will help create a better galaxy. Updates every Saturday.

Dicen que las primeras impresiones son importantes en la vida. La humanidad cometió imprudencia tras imprudencia hasta llegar a su primer contacto, donde cometieron una imprudencia que les costaría caro a largo plazo pues la primera impresión dejada fue menos que buena.

The family of the Soterios are all under one city now—Nualavera—and must reckon with Mu'kalien's survival as Miranda and Braith attend to a dredger from Assembly and a miraculous pregnancy, respectively. Panos, who hails from the Pantheon to collect the detained Catherine Smythe. Sies walks lost in a new world, in a country unfriendly to foreigners particularly from outside the…

Saving the Galaxy is one thing, Saving yourself is something else entirely.

Follow the path of the Wanderer and journey through three galactic cycles of life and death against the Reapers - an epic telling of lost stories spanning from the distant reaches of time to the Normandy and her crew.

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.

Tali tries to adapt to life after the Reaper War

When Shepard was taken from Tali before she could confess how much he really meant to her she was devastated. With his return and the Reaper threat still looming over the galaxy, she wouldn't let him be stolen again. Tells a story of Shepard's and Tali's relationship eventually becoming a romance. Starting from ME2 and ending after ME3.

In the years since her family was killed, J.R. Shepard has learned to put the personal aside in favor of the professional. 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.)
