Ari Shepard finds herself drawn towards Jack. Maybe it's similar backgrounds, or maybe the two have more in common than they both want to realize.

In the year 2905 a mistrusting humanity that has been at war for centuries comes into contact with the Citadel Council. Their technology is like nothing the galaxy has ever seen, able to tear holes in space and travel thousands of lightyears in the blink of an eye. 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.

In the years since her family was killed, J.R. Shepard has learned to put the personal aside in favor of the professional.

After Shepard's body is recovered and awoken at the start of Mass Effect 2, his body is still recovering from the rebuilding process. Cerberus Operative Miranda Lawson is in charge of ensuring Shepard makes a full recovery back to his proper health and that he remains in top physical and mental form at all times. To that end, she looks for different ways to help Shepard.

In the days soon after the events of Mass Effect 2, Commander Emily Shepard, Joker and Tali are handed a mystery by Aria T'Loak. With Cerberus involved, Shepard takes it up.

The Compact brought THEM together, but the Alliance brought HER.

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.

(AU) When humanity ventured out of their homeworld they found proof of alien existence. When they found the Mass Relay they found new worlds to settle on. 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? With LOKI and the mech family.

Action conspiracy thriller set between Mass Effect 1 & 2. Deep, fun & complex OCs galore, most carried over from my first story. Fast-paced, action-packed and filled with canon side characters taking full advantage of ME's rich universe. A little bit of angst/trauma. Some bloody but not gory violence, a little foul language and some seduction & romance. Full synopsis in my bio.

Zenith Shepard was an artist of the battlefield. Garrus Vakarian was a renegade turian hothead who's passionate and fights for justice. It was in that moment when they met eyes at the Citadel Tower that their lives would change forever. Series of one shots in no particular order across the trilogy .

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.

Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat. 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

The "wings of a butterfly" are about to bring great change.

Liara is bored by her studies. Fortunately there is a frisky young asari willing to help her out... M for smutty smut. Image by the very talented Ubermachine.

Here find the backstory for the AUs that make up the DrellVerse and its character, world, and concept lore-building. Drells are credited to the creators within the Mass Effect universe.

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!

Millions adrift in the open sea of space, millions more stranded on strange worlds. Once united in their fight, new crises face each surviving race of the Milky Way.
