"The axis of Shepard's world now spins around just two simple things: the boy she wants, and the baby she doesn't." - Shepard in the early days.

Shepard chose to end the cycle and destroy the Reapers, but what did they take with them, and what should she do now that they're gone? She wakes in a med bay, completely alone, unrecognizable, and living in a universe whose state is similar to her own - a shadow of what it once was.

It is said one joy can scatter one hundred griefs. But after the destruction of the Reapers, there is hardly time for either as a new threat emerges, determined to make Shepard realize how much death a person can take.

Kaidan and Shepard await an exciting New Year's Celebration.

The start of an inevitable slope for Thane and femShep. One shot.

The ending to the Mass Effect trilogy was a travesty. Here are my ideas for resolving the main conflict and for character closure

An imagining of what happened to FemShep after each Mass Effect 3 ending. FemShep/Kaidan pairing throughout. Contains enough angst to fuel an FTL drive.

As proposed by AlsoKnownAsMatt, this is a collection of full interviews conducted by Emily Wong with various in-story characters as events move along. Storyline and Emily doing some investigative reporting between interviews. Part of the Of Sheep and Battlechicken Premiseverse, so watch out for hard language and violence at times.

Summary: Shepardin kuolema jättää jäljen. Pohdintoja, elämää ja kuolemaa sodan jälkeen.

"Anderson ei koskaan pääsisi sanomaan, että hän oli se mies, joka loi Shepardin." Lontoo, Akuze, Arcturus, Citadel, paikkoja ja aikoja, jotka muovaavat häntä.

FemShep/Liara romance. Edgy, very dark themes, character/relationship focused with plenty of sexystuff. Original characters. political intrigue. action. Shepard struggles with the pressure, her anxiety and fear; Liara struggles with the fallout of Shepard's death and return. Left of cannon, not always following in game timeline. Includes storyline with Aria and time on Thessia

"He felt her silent happy relief tears slowly fall on his bare chest, but he didn't say a word as Lionel himself was not done shedding his same ones. After everything they had been through, now that it was finally over, they needed to let it out and they needed each other" Shepard and Miranda are finally free. Free from the Reapers. Free from a psycho father. Free to finally live.

This is a collection of ficlets pulled from a list of prompts titled 'Friends or more' on tumblr. I took it as a challenge to try and use each prompt to spawn at least one fic. This will likely end up being mostly Shenko, though I will try my best to expand beyond this pairing.

After ME2 (and some flasbacks further)and the suicide mission, Zaeed is trying to turn a new page in his life with someone new added. I intentionally used as little names as possible. I can't promise to continue this, do hope at least...let's see, practise makes perfect. Critique is appreciated and welcome.

Liara has had to make a lot of choices since the destruction of the Normandy. But none of them effect her as much as the war that rages on in her very soul. Liara/Femshep pairing. Rated T for now may move to M in later chapters.

Follow the life of Caius Vakarian as he struggles with the pressure of being the son of galactic heroes Jane Shepard and Garrus Vakarian. Takes place after the events of ME3.

CoAuthored by LunaMax1214. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The continuing story of Garrus and Teandra, as they struggle with the darkness within each other... and themselves. Sequel to "Omega" and "Partners, Comrades, Friends" ME2.

A prank goes awry, leaving our favorite Turian with a 'levo gunk' induced rash, and a discolored dignity to boot.

Shepard survived the crucible, but just barely. Kaidan and the rest of the SSV Normandy are determined to not only see their commanding officer again, but give her the life deserves after all she's lost. Rebuilding isn't as simple as it seemed, and fighting tangible enemies is much easier than fighting the ones in your head. Recovery isn't just for physical wounds.**Rating upped**

James Vega was screwed. So very, very screwed. Not only did he fail to fulfill his one job condition, he fell in love as well. Written for the Mass Effect fic swap on Tumblr.

Since the death of his parents on Mindoir, Shepard's always kept himself busy during the holidays. But a mandatory shore leave throws a wrench in his plans. Instead of moping alone in misery, he reaches out to his friends to learn more about their cultures, and share stories of his own. A gift fic written for the Mass Effect Fanfiction Writers Secret Santa exchange.

After the war, Grissom Academy has a fundraiser complete with cotton candy, boisterous children, and dunk tanks. Garrus and Shepard enjoy the festivities, until Kaidan makes himself a target too irresistible for Shepard to pass up.

In which Shepard and Garrus have a conversation when they should probably be sleeping.

A short drabble based on a tumbler prompt Prompt 606

"She will not last. Not like metal and not like rock and not like the eddies of dust and light that birth stars." - Shepard and Kaidan - holding on.
