What a character must think when you get up during a game, leaving a gap in between responses :P

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.

For centuries Bantons lived on the forested planet of Faultoth, migrating to and from colonies in an endless cycle to allow sites of their homes furrow and farrow, time to replenish from use and abuse….

Goddess of mind, goddess of heart - closed-off without consent, She cannot flourish; unlocked to the universe in trust and control, She protects from all outside influences. Only one sits atop the throne of Shepard's subjectivity. Ashley/FemShep, Liara/FemShep. Miranda/FemShep, Aria/FemShep. Power plays, intense loves. Renegon Infiltrator FemShep. Spans the Mass Effect Trilogy.

Vetra tries to get her hands on a birthday present for her sister. It's more complicated than it sounds.

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.

The year is 2196. Former Alliance Marine, Theodore "Theo" Thompson-Ramos leads a team of "security consultants" against the old scourge of batarian slave gangs raiding human colonies. But in the shadow of galactic politics, an old enemy waits for a chance to strike back. Pirates, slavers and criminals are just beginning. The war against the ancient enemy is far from over.

In a world where the mind creates what is real at the wish of a thought, Lothairaxl bears forth from a moon not far from Earth. The genes of a civilization wove forth to make it real. Artificial intelligence breaks boundaries so soon after the Reapers' demise, but how? The story of a planet in which lust blooms by salty shores and lives across species blend against understanding…

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!

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.

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.

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
