Before Andromeda, there was a dream. To go where no one else had, to see what no one else would. But there were other dreams as well, some good, some bad. This is the story of one of those and the man who dreamed it. This is a fanfiction, I own none of the rights to Mass Effect. There will be spoilers from ME 1, 2 and probably Andromeda. Mostly OC with a few guest stars. Fem Shep.

Nothing is as it seems. Ancient forces awake to the harvest but before that they faced an enemy relentless in its persistence. They crushed them utterly, yet the Ancients fear this enemy so they destroyed their source. Now on Eden Prime an Ancient cometh, but so too does an enemy from a time before. An enemy with nothing to lose and if the galaxy burns? So be it. AU Lore/History.

A chance of fate, a rift in time and space drew Riley in. What will she do knowing all she does of the games and adrift in a time thousands of years prior to any known event? She was the Protheans hope but never the vengeance they wanted. No, she would be the hope they did not ask for.

It was a rough argument, but he had convinced him to let her go. But what if events hadn't gone so perfectly? Based upon Chapter 10 of Angels and Demons, these are the outcomes that would've happened if Shepard wasn't fast enough, couldn't talk the beast down, or saw reason in his burning rage. Rated M for possibly discomforting content.

A series of short, random drabbles of a troubled Shepard dealing with the loss of a beloved. (FemShep/Ashley) Rated T for now.

A collection of Cerberus documents providing insight into alien black operations forces and the dark acts of their governments, and of some criminal groups. Sort of my take on Renegade Reinterpretations, except more like 'bloodthirsty lunatic reinterpretations with an axe.' M for profanity, images and ideas.

Ever since he lost those closest to him, Evfra de Tershaav has avoided forming any strong emotional connections with other individuals. Until a certain alien outsider came along that is.

Shepard gets a moment after Rannoch. SPOILERS. Oneshot

She gives me gifts as if they were flowers. Even if I could count the little ones that surround me, I know I could not return them. Especially the gift of rebellion. And it's all because of a little human with a krogan's heart.

While on the run from Cerberus, two girls find themselves in a crazy situation. They are found by Commander Shepard and are asked to join the mission to take out the collectors. What happens when the most complicated thing come in the mix? During ME2 and ME3.

Ryder and Reyes romance expanded. Told from both characters points of view. Warning! Spoilers within. When Ryder finds out who Reyes really is, will she stay or is the betrayal too much for their relationship to overcome?

My view on what it was like for Shepard. Mainly canon with a few additions mostly new tech with a few minor ocs and slightly different scenes. starts pre-ME1 will go far as I can to the end of ME3.

Commander Shepard is lured by Kai Leng to take a look at his email account

Captain Mirin Tanidus is about to assume command of the 3rd Raiding Cadre, a group of Cabals deployed aboard the Hierarchy's stealth ships. She has no idea about the crucial role she will play in the war against the Reapers. Commander Shepard has no time for things like retrieving artifacts for the Crucible. Those missions will fall to the Joint Species Task Force. Largely OC cast

The events of Mass Effect, but from Liara T'Soni's perspective. (I try anyway lol) With a female Shepard (mainly Paragon, with the Colonist/war hero background). I dunno, I thought I'd give it a try to see what it would be like from another character's perspective. And Liara is a bamf, so there. *shrug* Rated T for now, may go to M later

For over 20 years, turians and humanity remain locked in stalemate due to the Council's indecisiveness. But when two soldiers from opposing sides must rely on each other to survive, they make discoveries about each other that shake the crumbling loyalties of those who hear their story...

(AU) The Techno Organic virus has ravaged the galaxy for 14 years. Only small pockets of civilization remain. Hidden away on unknown planets or space stations. Commander Shepard leads one of these. Nearly 10,000 souls stuck on a Cerberus station built for 4,000. She tries to project confidence. Hope. But it isn't working and resources are running out.

Liam asks a question of Jaal

After the galaxy was engulfed in the red energy that brought the reaper war to an end over Earth's orbit, the galaxy may have survived to avoid being harvested like the countless cycles before them, but the effects of the crucible that brought about the end of the Reaper's billion-year-old cycle of destruction, but they would have to face new problems.
