Humanity fled her homeworld long ago. Surviving, as if by miracle, the perilous Exodus across the Mad Machine infested Attican Veil. Yet, she still yearns for answers to her forgotten past, hoping that as the Reapers awaken, there's no digging too deep to find salvation.

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.

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. Odd chapters are the current storyline, even chapters are flashbacks. Enjoy.

Making more Sara Ryder/Suvi Anwar time since they're totally the OTP of ME: Andromeda, but they don't get nearly enough airtime. Ryder isn't a stranger to running into trouble. Sometimes head first, over and over. Today ... is that day. Ryder hurt/comfort/whump; Suvi adoration (because obviously); the team being the team; and general fluff alert for the touchy feely stuff.

In which Sylvia has horrible timing. Or maybe incredible timing. And a risky risqué idea. Poor Liara can never catch a break. (Light fluff/NSFW. Part of the Mass Effection series. Cross-posted on AO3).

Commander Shepard isn't as fearless as everyone believes him to be. Sovereign, the Collectors, and Aratoht have made Shepard doubt the Milky Way can survive the cycle. Hope exists, however, in another galaxy. (Andromeda reimagined, aims to be less disappointing and less controversial than the original.) Shepard/Liara

Steampunk/ Fantasy AU. Cast out and exiled by their race, Clan Shepard has one chance to regain their standing. But dark forces are at work to take on the races of the realms. A race against time has begun, and only the Pirate Clan can stop them.

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.

When I bought the Legendary Edition of Mass Effect I'd expected to re-live the wonder of the game, I never expected to actually 'live' it though

SAM wanted to experience feelings through her? Well, buckle up, because Sara Ryder had a crapton. Game novelization, liberties taken.

Co-written by Magpie Corvidae - Aria T'Loak will stop at nothing to take Omega back from Cerberus. The key to her secret plan is... Hanar action star Blasto's next blockbuster vid? Yup, but keeping this quiet gets harder when a certain human reporter starts poking around. A comic sequel to both Magpie's 'Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani, Westerlund News' and Fred's 'One Tough Cloaca.'

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

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.

Liara T'Soni is a very determined archaeologist who isn't worried to do a little tomb raiding to discover ancient knowledge. Cam Shepard is an ex-Alliance mercenary with a thing for people much smarter than she is. There's no way they'll get up to anything dangerous together, right?

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.

An aspiring writer's characters come out of the pages of her mind…

Sai'ira the daughter of commander Shepard, finds herself locked in a deadly game of shadows in which she must help avoid war between the Citadel and the newly formed Terminus Systems federation.

Fate played as much a role in Shepard's defeat of the Reapers as did his skill. What if fate had different plans? Did you know that the Shepard on Mindoir was born as a twin? What if both had survived the raid? How would the Reapers have dealt with TWO great heroes instead of one? It's time to find out just how much better and worse things get with TWO Shepards fighting a war.

Shepard was an idealist he wanted the best for everyone but it's hard to get the best for everyone he made mistakes that haunt him to this day but if he could he'd try all over again and do it right this time.

Faced with the question of how to spend their shore leave on the Citadel, Shepard and Tali decide to explore the Silversun Strip, and take some time to themselves, afterwards. Fluff and fun ensue. (prompt fill from ao3)

Humans were unpredictable. Vicious. Bullies. At least, that was what Liara heard. Now she witnessed with her own eyes that nothing could be further from the truth, making it a habit to come to the Starboard Observation Deck to watch the Commander build models of frigates and dreadnoughts. (Characters portrayed here are unrelated to my "Phantom Pain" main story. Cross-posted on AO3)

FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not super canon-y, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your version of the characters. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's POV. Rated T for blood-curdling swears. FemShep/Ashley (slowest burn).

A Navy Hornet pilot on a routine patrol encounters something he could only have dreamed of. Separated from the world he knows, will he have what it takes to adapt to life in the 2100's, and as a member of the Systems Alliance Navy? (Semi-self insert, rated M for violence, coarse language, etc.)

But no one else would fight this war. She was Commander Shepard. Commander Shepard fights mander Shepard saves the day because that's what heroes do. She was so sick of always having to be the hero, but the galaxy still had need of heroes. Time to be Commander Shepard again. "Welcome to the Resistance."

After the war, Garrus takes Shepard to tour his homeworld. When the Palaven aurora blooms, she can't fault her mate for still believing in Spirits. Or for having something he worships.
