Cerberus's take on the SA. Follows the style of the the Cerberus Files for alien races, but this time going into the dark and ugly history of the Systems Alliance, changes in human culture, and details about the government, politics, and more, written by Minsta. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.'

Shepard lies dying on the Citadel, after choosing the destroy option presented to her by The Intelligence, when the goddess of oceans and afterlife comes to her. Given the choice to allow Kalahira to carry her across the sea so she may be reunited with Thane or be left to find the embrace of her own God, Shepard chooses Thane. The journey across the sea won't be easy, though.

Shepard encounters a mysterious biotic amidst the carnage of Eden Prime. The biotic quickly develops close ties with the crew, but they seem to be hiding something... Garrus x OC, Shepard (M) x ?

He says he'll be here when she needs him. So why does it feel like he's so far away? Shepard/Garrus, ME2.

Just because Shepard's under house arrest doesn't mean she can't have nice things. Vega does his best to help her feel human again while the Alliance decides what to do with her. (My Holiday Harbinger gift for vorchagirl on Tumblr.)

Along the way, Jane is confronted with the corruption in the Systems Alliance, and must choose where her loyalties truly lie.

Whatever Vicci Ryder came to Andromeda to find, her plans were derailed when her father died and made her Pathfinder. But her plans are about to be derailed again.

Commander Shepard stopped the Reapers. He saved the galaxy. He saved is friends. He nearly died. Months of surgeries and physical therapy have restored his body, but his spirits are still lagging. The woman of the Normandy have taken the restoration of those spirits on as their new mission, Miranda is up first. Written as a commission. May become a series.

I know you're out there, looking, I know you haven't given up.
