DISCONTINUED! Humanity's foremost doctor invents the most crucial treatment of the era, and as a result sets himself and his race onto a path to glory. But glory never comes without a price, as he and his Turian companion will soon find out. (Some AU. T for now. Language, eventual violence/action. R&R! May be upgraded to M at a later date.)

For anyone curious about the morality of Valni, Kenneth, Gabby, et al. here are the character alignments for the Mass Effect fanfic trilogy 'A Matter of Race and Character,' 'A Matter of Time and Space,' and 'A Matter of Life and Death,' as defined by tvtropes-dot-org.

An in-universe summary of my AU version of the Batarian Emperor. Please note this is HEAVILY AU (no Emperor in canon) and should not be taken as a canon resource. Probably not suitable for kids, duh. Requested by Militarist.

Traumatized by loss, torture, and dementia, a marine turned specter must stop intragalactic terrorists from unleashing Eldritch Horrors onto an unsuspecting galaxy. AU. FemShep/Liara, Garrus/Tali, Joker/O.C, Reapers v.s Necromorphs.

A night shortly after leaving Meridian

Dr. Cole Hartford is a small town ER doc, on yet another slow shift, until his life is instantly thrown into disarray. Something, or someone, landed quite literally on the hospital's doorstep, and it's up to him to deal with the consequences. Follow our good doctor as he becomes the shining beacon of Humanity. DISCONTINUED.

[Rewrite] [AU] After bloodshed and hardship, humanity is as close as it can get to total unity. Now, they are eyeing toward the stars. What will be awaiting them over the horizon? Prosperity or more bloodshed? Either way, they must step forward, for such is the call of their Motherland. To the stars, on the roads left behind, they shall crave their own names into the History.

All that mattered to Joanna Shepard was her family, and while life on Mindoir wasn't the best, it was hers. Then slavers took that away, and she had nothing. It was only through the care of David Anderson that she did not fall to her hatred, but it would always be a part of her. The galaxy had no idea what had been forged in the fires of despair, but soon, all would know.

Love, war, and breakfast. What sci-fi romance would be complete without the fluffy goodness of pancakes. Tali will soon find that being in a relationship with a human has unexpected culinary benefits, amino acid chirality be damned. If happiness is a warm gun, then love is a steaming pile of flapjacks.

It was time to move on. Like the rest of her crew, Shepard needed to forgo her hangups and put the past behind her. It was better that way, truly.

Ryder took the mantle of Pathfinder seriously, putting her personal hopes and dreams aside for the future of the Initiative. But after meeting a smooth-talking smuggler, she can't help but be drawn into the possibility of something she could call her own. Ryder/Reyes.

L'histoire commence au sein même de la dernière bataille sur Terre et se propose de raconter les conséquences du choix que Shepard à pris pour l'avenir de la Galaxie ; la synthèse de tous les êtres vivants de la Voie Lactée en une même grande espèce. Quel sera la nature de cette nouvelle espèce ?

"When Anderson looks at her, he sees not only a survivor, but a fighter." Mindoir was a disaster for the Alliance, in every way but one.

Commander Shepard's personal log, detailing the events of the Mass Effect series. Commander Joshua Shepard is a spaceborn warhero, paragon inclination. He is first and foremost a soldier; his duty is to serve and defend humanity, no matter the cost. Installments will occur on a weekly basis. Comments and feedback welcome. If you like it, pass it on. Enjoy!

Not sure if this is AU or What If. I'm going with the premise that Garrus is about 3 years younger than Shepard so they have started Basic at the same time. So young Shepard meets young Garrus under difficult circumstances. The rating is for swearing. Shepard is a paragon with a mouth on her. This wondrous Universe belongs to Bioware - I'm just playing with it.

As Shepard and Tali cool down after their first intimate experience, words are exchanged between the two lovers. Words of joy, melancholy, comfort and hope. A short story to fill some gaps where the game fears to tread.

A miracle is something that seems impossible, but happens anyway. And though Shepard seems to be the tough, fearless woman that everyone looks up to, even the strongest are weak at times. THIS IS A REBOOT OF AN OLD STORY Humor from my quirks, T for innuendoes & language, May Change Later, Pairings Dependent.

Haunting applies to several aspects of Shepard's life, be it sleep or old flames.

Shepard and Kaidan help Vega realize that maybe the extra shipments that work out in Vega's favor may not be as accidental as Cortez led him to believe.

[OS] Sara s'interrompit brusquement en repensant à sa première entrevue seul à seul avec Jaal. Sur le coup, elle avait peut-être fait preuve de trop d'enthousiasme à l'idée d'avoir un Angara à bord.

Shepard writes a series of letters to Kaidan Alenko after her resurrection by Cerberus, detailing her mission to find and defeat the Collectors. She finds a way to have them all delivered just before her trip through the Omega 4 relay. ME2 pre-O4 relay, includes Overlord and a bit of LotSB. Rated for language. FemShep/Kaidan.

"You humans have already built so much with your ambition, what is one last little push?" - REDACTED

AO3 Cross Posted: A year without word of her survival has left Garrus restless. After a whole series of events, the game has finally changed and he's tired of waiting. He knows where she is and he'll let nothing stand between him and the woman most call, "Commander." To him, she's just Shepard.

Cuddles with a biotic convict. (fxf) Super Short One shot.
