When these two empires collide, mountains will shake, stars will burst, and the galaxy will never be the same again.

The Pulse is what the Quarians call the destructive wave sent out by the Citadel that destroyed the Reapers. It has affected their planet more than anywhere else. Desperate for answers, Tali is tasked - who is still on Earth helping Shepard recover - with finding those answers. What she finds could change everything - for her, for her people, and for those that have been lost.

Far before the Tower System was applied over the Birutise'aha upon those willing (and unwilling), the origin of the code of social organization, soldiery, specialized Drells and Drellahnas was brought forth from the lands of Rakka, where Pilar Sousan onerously made his way out of war and famine to find Thorolf, and in the woods, an enemy as well as a symbol of his future forward.

When they found element zero they developed new technologies that pushed out their scientific knowledge. Then they tried to create artificial intelligence... How it ended?

Action conspiracy thriller set between Mass Effect 1 & 2. Deep, fun & complex OCs galore, most carried over from my first story.

Some bloody but not gory violence, a little foul language and some seduction & romance. Full synopsis in my bio.

This story occurs in the time period of Irikah's life, having married Thane and permitted him to return to his usual skill work(….)She interacts with Kolyat in Thane's absence as well as within the context of this author's "Drellverse". Story is somewhat canon-"compliant", but surprises do exist.

In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down. Profile has full description.

His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave. Parallel AU, Part 1 Complete

I've been writing a lot of one shots and I have so many more in my head. So this will serve as a spot for them all. They won't be in order and they won't all be Shep/Liara based (although that's my muse so that's where the writing will be focused). First one is pretty smutty, and I hope y'all enjoy. I'll update as the urge strikes. I really do appreciate feedback!
