AU Jane Shepard has been homeless on Earth for most of her life until Saren passed by one day during the winter. She returned a package to him which he accidentally dropped simply out of sheer kindness. Saren returned the favor by taking her in so he could at least give her a second chance at life, which would start a close bond that would improve Saren's impression on humans.

edi and Shepherd do some experimenting of their own

After being resurrected by Cerberus, Shepard is a raw nerve, a stranger in her own skin. Why else would the never-ending nattering of Professor Mordin Solus send a shiver down her spine?

Commander Jane Shepard died and came back once because she was willing to give everything up for her crew. She'd do it again to save the universe, and destroy so much that she created. But what happens after? Whats left?

When Ryder finds herself locked in a jail cell in Kadara she knows exactly who to blame: Reyes Vidal. The problem is, he's the only one who can also get her out - and he'll only do it for a price. Picking up a water purifier seems to be an easy task, but as with everything in Ryder's life, one small favor quickly turns into a mission of galactic importance.

The board was set. Reyes Vidal could see the act coming together piece by piece. All the players he had manipulated stood in position; each had taken their roles willingly. All it had taken was Sara Ryder to bring ruin to all his meticulously laid plans. His empire in ruins Reyes Vidal starts over. Part 1 of 3 for Benefaction.

Peebee is determined to meet the Moshae even if it means getting through Jaal and Lexi.

En aquella guerra la presión, el dolor, los remordimientos y la culpa a duras penas daban un momento de paz, y era tan necesario para todos...para ambas.

A recurring joke on the Tokyo is that Commander Mira Shepard emerged fully formed from a vat in the Alliance Labs, citing protocol and issuing writeups for uniform violations as part of a project to make the perfect XO.

Shepard finds herself returning to her solo-operative roots to thwart an imminent Reaper invasion. Meanwhile, there's no rest for the wicked as Shepard's fellow N7s, Eva Rogers and John Sheffler, are forced to decide where they stand as the Reaper War draws closer.

She wasn't going to panic. At least that's what Cora kept telling herself as she walked down the hall towards the Pathfinder's quarters. Scott was supposed to have met with the leaders of the Nexus and never showed. On top of that, no one had seen or heard from him since the night before. Cora was pretty sure she was overreacting. For all she knew, Scott pretty woman and spent the

**DISCONTINUED** The optional sequel to "Tranquility." During a trip to Palaven, Garrus thought that the smuggling bust operation he was asked to help with would be simple and straightforward. However, a discovery during the bust would not only shake Garrus to the core, but could also potentially change his and Shepard's lives.

No, it's far from over, the Normandy crew is stranded. Shepard and Anderson have not been found, and half of the galaxy's technology has been rendered obsolete. So how can things be over when there's so much left to do? It's not. Will Shepard be found alive, dead, or even at all. Will the crew? Hmm...I suppose...Disclaimer: I do not own mass effect or it's characters.

Will someone be able to bring back the old Shepard so she can save the galaxy again or will she standby as the Reapers destroy everything? ON PERMANENT HIATUS.

They say we're alone. That we're the smartest. The greatest. That all changed a few months ago, when aliens literally came crashing down to Earth. Apparently there was a war, in our section of the galaxy. They never meant to even glance our way, they were supposed to avoid us. Jeeze, goes to show we're no the only incompetent creatures out there.
