Everyone knows Shepard's story, but who were the soldiers who also fought in the Reaper War? This story revolves around five women who have pledged their service to the Alliance together. Time span: starts before ME1, ends after ME 3. In the later chapters encounters with well-known characters!

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.

After escaping Meriweather's compound and an intense argument with her sister, Ryder figures that Sid could use a distraction.

What's a man to do when he wakes up as a Quarian in Mass Effect? Pull up his bootstraps and backpack his people to victory.

I think we can all agree waking up as a guy in a woman's body would be jarring to say the least. Waking up as an asari? Horrifying. But waking up as what I had the incredible misfortune to be... Let's just say I wouldn't bet on me surviving long enough to see the Reapers make their grand debut. Asari SI, starts just before ME1.

A continuation of ME: Book II - The Spectre Chronicles. After waking up in a Cerberus space station, Shepard demands answers and finds out that she had died two years prior with the destruction of the Normandy. With two years of her absence, how will the galaxy react to her returning, and how will she react to what the galaxy has become?

Dying in the line of duty was expected of him, what he didn't expect was to have some otherworldly being grab his soul and toss him into another world, to do it all over again

MORE flashbacks, interstitial scenes, and backdoor dealings. An AU retelling of ME3 focusing on characters and worlds, big and small.

The Citadel wants their technology and Humanity wants out of Sol, but can a deal be struck? Heavy! focus on FC aspects

The Citadel council learns about the multiverse and just how scary or friendly the new species they’re about to meet can get. (Rated M to be safe due to games such as Halo, Cyberpunk, Dead Space, Dune, and really just anything related like that)

Fate played as much a role in Shepard's defeat of the Reapers as did his skill. What if fate had different plans? Did you know that the Shepard on Mindoir was born as a twin?

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.
