What would happen if someone with vast knowledge about the Mass Effect Universe, both official (wiki/Codex) and theoretical (fanfics), decent fighting ability and a plan was dropped into that Universe 13 years before Eden Prime? As it turns out, quite a lot! FemShep. Soft HFY. And a very different kind of self-insert.

The wings of a butterfly are a unique network of filaments, hard and rigid structures, fragile and diaphanous membranes, cells, reflexes working together….Every piece essential to operating the wing's stability and coordinating its flutters with its team of three others, and an insect in between both pairs….Time is a factor, and perfect stability, in the moments of wait…

A love story at its heart, "Spinners: Lothiraxl" is a new take on "The Martyr Effect". Lana Shephard returns as Lady Kina Tian, a woman who scrapes by on "pots" of earnings made off of the fights she competes in at gyms throughout her stomping grounds on Elan-Nine—and travels beyond the earthen world to space stations and other planets unlike what she has been brought up on…

Lieutenant Commander Shepard didn't know that she was never supposed to be on the Normandy, much less receive visions from the beacon on Eden Prime. But Fate, it seems, is a fickle mistress, and now she finds herself chasing a rogue Spectre across the galaxy.

All it took was one stressful mission and a sleepless night to bring Shepard's demons back to light.

A detailed breakdown of the structure of the Human Systems Alliance and their vehicles. To create this, I have combined preexisting lore with my own head canon in order to organise and flesh out the Systems Alliance. This guide is tied to my novelisation of the mass effect games and is constantly being updated as I go.

This is an in-universe document story covering the history, ideals and formation of the Teriminus Clan. Includes a great deal of heretofore unseen history about the fringes of the galaxy, and the basis of the Terminus Systems even existing. Written by the mighty Xabiar, with inputs from several members of the Editing Gang. Some of the concepts will be mature.

A New World order is rising in the wake of the Reaper War. As the Alliance moves their pieces into play, Shepard and Liara reach out to old allies for support. Miranda struggles to keep her vengeance from consuming her, without knowing that the fight is about to become even more personal. The final instalment in the Fate Trilogy.

Shepard had pulled his ass out of the fire, delivered by airdrop or divine intervention or both. Now they were serving together again, shooting the shit, shooting their foes dead, and looking damn good while they did it. Garrus couldn't get a lock on why things were different this time around. But Shepard was his captain come hell or high water, and that was enough to go on.

FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not super canon-y, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your version of the characters. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's POV. Rated T for blood-curdling swears. FemShep/Ashley (slowest burn).

Jason Miller was just a rifleman in the army when he was shot in the face and got Isekai'd into the Mass Effect universe with powers from Destiny, of all things. Story begins 11 years prior to the events of Mass Effect 1 as Jason forges his own story before he joins the fight to hunt down Saren.

On Illium, anything goes. A pair of sensual, enthralling asari dancers will put those words into action. And an off-duty human security officer will discover a more deviant side to asari eroticism. A twisted tale, not for the faint of heart.

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 complete. Post Reaper Victory arc with Shepard and Jack's family 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.

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.
