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

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.)

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

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.

When Garrus Vakarian said goodbye to Commander Shepard before she left the Citadel, she told him to be careful. Her death made him even more determined not to take her advice. The rise and fall of Archangel and everything in between: the squad that died for him, the gangs that cornered him, and the turian that betrayed him.

We don't get to choose where our story begins, where it takes us, and most certainly where it ends. The Reaper War may have ended twenty-five years ago, but aboard the SSV Hippocrates a Spectre takes his first steps on a journey that will decide the fate of a trillion souls.

This adventure features a different perspective during the events of Mass Effect 3. While Commander Shepard and the crew are uniting the galaxy against the Reaper forces there are others that are holding the line against the evil.

REPOST. Reality changed with the advent of Humanity on the galactic stage. Relay 314 proved cynics correct in many ways, alien life was the end of our golden age. Innocence was lost, understandable xenophobia followed. From the ashes of Shanxi arose the Alliance, new so called protector and unifier of humanity. Those who would dispute their narrative, rose alongside them. Cerberus.

They thought themselves invulnerable, invincible, and infallible. They thought themselves the apex of all life, they thought of themselves gods. But in their arrogance, the reapers would make a fatal mistake. They would not notice some Prothean refugees discreetly moved both nearby mass relays away form the primitive humanity, thus cutting them off from all reaper influence.

Six months after the Battle of the Citadel, Arlen Kryik is an experienced C-Sec Interceptor on the hunt for a dangerous criminal. Meanwhile, the Joint Security Task Force team are dealing with a sudden, deadly threat to the Citadel. Amidst rising political tensions between the asari and turians, these unrelated incidents will collide in a way that will shake the galaxy to its core.

Shepard worried that Liara will overwork herself, convinces her to take a break and spend the rest of the afternoon with her. One-shot, set during ME3.

Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat. His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave. Parallel AU, Part 1 Complete

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.

The following story is a spinoff of the Lothiraxl/Grim Reaper/Drell and Prelude tales by the author. "In a world that exists well before the reapers and protheans can take their turns enslaving the Milky Way Galaxy, romance struggles in a city made of singing metal…"

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.

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

"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 navigational error sends a mass relay far off course. The effects of this are tremendous.

When Indigo Carter moved to the Citadel to study music at Auxua School of the Arts, she thought she knew what to expect. However, she certainly never imagined she'd be making the acquaintance of a failed hitman trying to ride out the tidal wave of his own past. Life is such a messy ordeal that when the Reapers come, they almost feel like a welcome cleaning service.

He isn't pleased to wake up in his pod again, this time entirely alone. Less so that he finds himself fighting alongside a mouthy Gunnery Cheif soon after. But the real kicker? He's three years early. Or; Shepard chooses Yellow, and instead of a responsible, noble Time Traveler, the galaxy gets Javik, who really just wants an aspirin or death at this point. He hates this Cycle.

In another life, Scott and Sara Ryder never took the chance at venturing to another galaxy. They had enough trouble staying together in their own. Yet as hard as life in the forgotten corners of the galaxy could be, they had each other. That was enough. It had to be. Omega AU. (Scott / Sara) Sibling Incest.

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.

The galaxy struggles to heal from the unimaginable sacrifices that stopped the Reapers. Its many peoples look to the future with hope, yet some seek to capitalize on chaos. As new choices and battles loom on the horizon, two bound souls and the family that fought with them struggle to move forward and keep the galaxy they saved from sliding back into conflicts of the past.

The galaxy sees them as pests, the Collectors see them as tools and they see themselves as nothing more than bodies to be sold as mercenaries. Maybe all that's needed is a little genetic engineering for the Vorcha to realise that their potential as a species is limitless.

Born into the Mass Effect universe 400 hundred years too early, with a condition that will see her hunted, Seyna T'Karo begins her journey. But what starts out as a fun yet dangerous adventure turns into something more; as she realises that sometimes in order to kill the monster, one must become a monster themselves.
