A very developed being who has the ability to control energy decides to enter the mass effect universe and aid Shepard in his adventure. rated M for swearing (rare)

Garrus POV through the Mass Effect Triology He had questioned it at the beginning. Just why was he so willing to walk through fire for this human? -This will follow Canon, but with it being in another person's POV, there will be variations. Moments that are new. Untold stories and more.

Commander Shepard is the sole survivor with a synthetic sole, among other augmentations due to the Akuze incident. She's suppressed her emotions and ignored persuasions to retire in her willingness to continue her tour of duty, relying on medication to help with her nightmares and the phantom pains that have persisted. People think it's determination. It's just a distraction.

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.

The 26th Century Dawns over a united humanity as it expands across the Attican traverse. A First Contact novelization of an alternate humanity. Worthy of being called a Galactic Power. Glory to those who look forward! Glory to those who push forward!

Follow the path of the Wanderer and journey through three galactic cycles of life and death against the Reapers - an epic of lost stories spanning the distant reaches of time to the Normandy and her crew.

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…"

For Kathrine, survival is precarious. Her goal: beg, borrow and steal as much as needed to get to Earth. But a shadow from her past threatens her plans. Commander Shepard offers a way out. All she needs to do is leave her past behind. Easier said than done. Taryn Shepard has closed herself off to emotions. All she needs is the mission... and perhaps a beautiful blue woman.

Shepard finds himself falling in love with the violent, complex woman known only as Jack. This is the story of their relationship from Mass Effect 2 and beyond. Rated M for language, violence and suggestive themes. Mass Effect 3 arc now in progress!

Commander Shepard is on the Normandy's shakedown run getting used to the new crew as well as dealing with the aftereffects of the Beacon as well as the political fallout with Saren. He finally notices Lieutenant Tabitha Ellis, and Adept who mostly keeps to herself but is a very talented soldier.

Garrus, Shepard, and a hell of a lot of banter. ME2 setting with throwback to ME1; friendship and eventual romance with emphasis on dialogue and character development. Rated M for language. 2022 edit: I am much, much better at updating this fic on AO3. Search for Enough by kesla there for weekly updates. All previously published chapters have also been overhauled.

He was just a kid from earth. Who would've thought that 11 years later he gets sent on the most important mission in human (and galactic) history. Will Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy be able to defeat Saren in the race against time? Takes place before and during Mass Effect 1. (Earthborn/Sole Survivor/Soldier/Default MShep).

A woman from present day participates in a CIA Black-Ops experiment playing with the idea of reincarnation. When it works, she wakes up to a literal sinking ship and is saved by a blue-eyed stranger that, for some reason, she trusts completely. When she finds out where and when she is, she offers to assist them in their impossible quest. What Agent doesn't want to save the world?

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.

Humanity, despite its valient efforts, was going to lose against the Reapers, it was obvious. So they hid her, their sole ace in the hole. Garrus Vakarian has managed to stop Saren, albeit barely, and has drawn the eyes of the Collectors. Through chance, or fate, both eras will fight. Together, or eachother. Pre-Prothean humanity, M for cursing, violence and maybe sexual themes.

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.

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.
