After the war, Garrus takes Shepard to tour his homeworld. When the Palaven aurora blooms, she can't fault her mate for still believing in Spirits. Or for having something he worships.

Shepard POV at the start of Mass Effect 2.

Tali'Zorah was just looking for a worthy pilgrimage gift, but is sucked into the adventure of her liftime instead. At the helm: Commander Shepard, greatest hero of the Alliance. But with a life of violence and loss behind him and the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders, Tali soon finds that perhaps John Shepard needs her just as much as she needs him... Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

Braith's marriage to her deceased lover of the past in 2186 has raised a problem for the pair now running Nualavera with the help of Kolyat and Miranda. The father of Thane Krios has been ordered to take the widow to his treasach and prepare her for inclusion into his own clan or marriage outside of it, and Casnar must file for a Trial of Mitan and Ara…

His final choice wasn't good enough. Everything he had sacrificed had been for nothing. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Seems like it's time for a new life choice.

Shepard's awake now. She claims to be fully healed as Grunt and Orrin follow her into space. Through thick and thin the three travel as they are forced apart, and together. Ever searching for the rest of the Normandy crew. Of course, death follows soldiers and wounds take time to heal. (This story is a direct sequel to Escaping Death Yet Again.)

A THIRD set of updates to the original! That's right, I'm so incompetent I had to redo it YET AGAIN. Expanded notes on every aspect of the Systems Alliance, from ships, weapons, and armor to government, complete orders of battle, and more terms. Now updated (May 2021) with tactical considerations, plus the March 2020 updates.

A summary set of position papers submitted by the human Commissariat to the Lords of Sol, justifying and explaining many of the more extreme elements seen in the mainfic and side stories or documentation. This will be a sort of 'mixed' story format: one section mostly a position paper, the next interaction between the Commissars and the Lords, or scenes of them digging things up.

A short little snapshot that I think most Talimancers would want. Posted on AO3. 2022-05-31

Friends, family, and other loved ones come to gather and celebrate the new wedded couple in the galaxy. Posted on AO3.2022-03-24

When Tali comes up to Shepard's cabin after brief chats with old friends. Both have a lot to talk about, past, present and future for each other. Posted on A03. 2022-03-05

The night before the final battle, Tali wakes up and recalls certain parts of her relationship with Commander Shepard. While looking back on certain points, she hopes the man she loves is able to see them all though the final battle with the Reapers. She also hopes that she can give him the support he needs as well while dealing while lingering thoughts. Posted on AO3. 2022-02-01

It's been over a year since Tali'Zorah lost her old Commander. Now serving aboard the Neema, she's been called upon to undertake a risky mission aboard a new ship. However, what she discovers reminds her just how much she lost along with the man she loved.

A Mass Effect Universe where the Inusannon (the species before the Protheans) used an incomplete Crucible as a last-ditch attempt to destroy the Reapers. It destroyed all mass effect technology within 500 light years of the Orion Arm, including the Sol system, destroying the Reapers and Mass Relays within. Humanity had to grow without Prothean archive/ezzo FTL. Better sum inside.

As humanity and other Council races develop along the path set by the Reapers, a different civilization is born. Developing alongside but separately from other species, isolated from the wider galaxy. An Empire with its own FTL technology, independent of Mass Relays. What will happen if a civilization so different from others in almost every way, joins the Galactic community?

Dicen que las primeras impresiones son importantes en la vida. La humanidad cometió imprudencia tras imprudencia hasta llegar a su primer contacto, donde cometieron una imprudencia que les costaría caro a largo plazo pues la primera impresión dejada fue menos que buena.

The family of the Soterios are all under one city now—Nualavera—and must reckon with Mu'kalien's survival as Miranda and Braith attend to a dredger from Assembly and a miraculous pregnancy, respectively. Panos, who hails from the Pantheon to collect the detained Catherine Smythe. Sies walks lost in a new world, in a country unfriendly to foreigners particularly from outside the…

Saving the Galaxy is one thing, Saving yourself is something else entirely.

We all have seen different OC's into the Mass Effect World. We see them dropped into the timelines of Commander Shepard and her crew. Vivori is unfortunately not that lucky being dropped thousands of years before. See her create a race made of Spartan courage, Britain's wisdom and Filipino patriotism. Add a little science in that and she would shake the galaxy with her allies.

Tali tries to adapt to life after the Reaper War

Samantha was led to believe the deal included a couple of children, but Shepard is dilly-dallying. There's only so many years one can wait for something to happen before getting ready to give up, and Shepard must find closure regarding her own childhood before she can start her own family.

A little side project to provide an overview over the lore surrounding the Imperial Federation in my books 'Saga of the Bridgers'. There will be different chapters covering History, Politics, Armed Forces, etc...basically it's a Wiki page.

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.

When Benezia and Saren attack Eden Prime and escape to carry out their sinister plan, Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy must stop them. Can a ragtag bunch of talented but troubled outcasts really stop two of the most dangerous individuals in the Milky Way? My take on the events of Mass Effect 1 to answer the question: what if Benezia and Saren weren't indoctrinated?
