From the very beginning, Elana Shepard was destined for greatness. Surviving the long odds, she gets herself ready for the greatest adventure of all. NON CANON DIALOUGE WARNING HERE Starts from the events of ME1, going all the way to ME3 and beyond. Temporarily Discontinued due to Life. Mea Maxima Culpa.

Shepard is preparing to finally face the music and head back to Earth to face trial for allying with Cerberus and destroying the Bahak system. Tali has chosen to briefly accompany him, as she refuses to leave him until she knows he is safe and well taken care of. It's time once again to part ways.

These are the stories that occur in between missions on the Normandy. While the players are watching a ship travel at FTL speeds, the people inside are still going about their day. These moments are what I call "The Loading Times."

No disrespect towards Bioware, but after speculating about ME3 for 2 years it just didn't turn out how I would have imagined. So I decided to write my own alternate version of events based on my 'canon' Shepard and his choices from ME1 and 2: No Crucible, different story arcs for squadmates and Cerberus, and a different explanation of the Reapers' motivations. I hope you enjoy!

Tonight, our star fight is between two of the so-called gentle giants. First, from their homeworld of Dekunna, Perron! Second, a Citadel born and raised native, Oltaryn! A humor fic for an Afterlife challenge.

Nythari has always been different. She's beautiful, funny and friendly but is burdened with a darkened past. When she meets a young turian by the name of Garrus everything changes, her real self comes out. But so do her demons. What is an 18 year old Adventi to do when she falls in love, nobody knows, but whatever it is, it's painful. (Shakarian) ME 1 events, New race (Adventi)

The history books only remember the big, world-shaking moments that the Normandy and her crew have braved, but the small moments need remembering, too. NEWEST: Benezia will miss her daughter. (Rating for coarse language, mature themes; all rights belong to Bioware)

A Renegade, Femshep is feeling betrayed and hurt by Commander Alenko's recent actions, luckily there's a bad ass Turian to save the day. Well, if you ignore that horrible summary, this is a tiny one-shot I had on my mind. FemshepxGarrus, I'm just going to rate this T for language.

The urge always strikes her at the most inconvenient possible moment...and she's not happy about who comes to mind, either.

Samantha loves Ashley's hair.

Samantha wishes she'd managed to confess her feelings before the final push to Earth.

There are Seven Deadly Sins: Pride. Wrath. Greed. Sloth. Lust. Envy. Gluttony. See which Characters in the ME verse embody them, and how it will lead them to wrack and ruin. Shepard is female, and any pairings are whatever you want to imagine. Rated T for now, probably until I hit any Lust stories.

Aria isn't the only one who must be who she is.

Some people call Freyja Shepard a hero and a legend If you tell her that she would tell you something very different. A look at what is behind a legend. Slightly A/U based on what if Councillor Sparatas was right. That Sovereign was nothing more than a prototype dreadnought . Rated M for some traumatic and brutal events in Freyja's past and for some sexual content down the road

Kaidan's looking for answers. She doesn't understand why.

A long buried secret from Shepard's past comes back to cause trouble, and the Commander is forced to turn to Samara for help. But when they track down the source of the problem, new issues are quick to complicate matters. This mission may cost Shepard more than any before. Samara/FemShep, Queer FemShep of Color

Eight years after the war with the reapers, Commander Shepard is still alive and kicking and she's still head over heels for Liara. But her new life may be more difficult to adjust to than she expected. -I am so sorry about how long it took to get the third part out! But my internet provider was being a jerk. So many thanks for your patience & to midknight576 for helping get it out

For Aria's Afterlife Valentine's Day competition. Right before Shepard and Tali can finally consummate their love, they get interrupted by Miranda and Jack fighting ... again. Ch2: Aria reads an online dating profile for Mordin Solus, and decides to contact him.

Miranda Lawson receives an extremely hard spanking.

A bunch of one-shots about Fem!Shepard/Mass Effect with a little nameless OC every now and then. Some of them have spoilers from the third game, and potentially the other two. Several hinted at pairings/established relationships/past relationships/blah blah blah. I don't own Mass Effect.

(W)Hunting down his old crew, Javik realizes the true horror of the Reapers and what they have done for millennia.

Written with Sy Itha, and takes place after the events of Branded and Conflict of Interest. Aria and Tevos pay a second personal visit to Shepard and Liara. (Aria/Tevos FemShep/Liara)

Sequel to Match Made In Purgatory. Councilor Tevos's secret marriage to Aria T'Loak becomes public, and she heads for Thessia to deal with the fallout while trying to avoid the press and her mother. But when an old enemy resurfaces and Tevos is kidnapped, Aria is forced to go after her new bondmate with the help of Shepard, Liara, and several members of the Normandy's former crew.

Moments in life. In their life, someone else's. It's her birthday. Nothing too serious, just nice off-duty night. There are indeed many gifts in this world.

After the war is over, the crew finally gets to have a little fun. Chaos may ensue. Just for fun, so hopefully it's amusing.
