Amid the frenzy of the first settlements Stephanie Ryder and Pelassaria B'Sayle (aka Peebee) find each other for some much needed stress relief. But is that truly all they need? M for smut. A lot of smut.

A single spark can ignite a flame that will consume the lives of many. From a battle over a lonely relay, to a treaty signed on a space station that has acted as the crypt for a thousand civilizations, this is the first contact war

"All I wanted was a normal party where I could spend time with my crewmates. Just a calm kickback where, for once in my life, nothing crazy would happen to me and I could forget about this damned war for even just a second. Instead, I'm dealing with a horny AI, drunk horny crewmates, drunk aliens that want to take me to bed, and a secret Cerberus clone. What else can go wrong?"

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?

The year is 2182 and on the edge of Human controlled space, a precious cargo was stolen by a Batarian Slave team. The unknown cargo had been taken deeper into Batarian space and was thought to contain a weapon. Upon opening the container, the Batarians were left with more questions than answers. This was no weapon.

In the aftermath of the Crucible's success, survivors on Earth and stranded galactic races need to work together to survive and thrive. #Alternate First Contact #Slight Canon Manipulation #Post Reapers #Rated M for weight of subjects and occasional mention of smut

Cerberus has spent billions of credits trying to bring Commander Jane Shepard back from the dead, and despite the odds it seems to be working. Then a saboteur inside of Cerberus makes his move and Shepard's resurrection takes a horrific turn, leaving both the Alliance and Cerberus scrambling to control the situation...all while the Collectors begin their harvest of humanity.

Commander Cayden Hill, disillusioned former N7 marine and self-proclaimed space Maverick, becomes a skeptical Cerberus operative. His squad is aligned with the objectives of the more-famous Commander Shepard, but they usually end up with missions deemed not important enough to bother the Spectre.

What if humanity was diplomatically isolated from the Citadel races, left to fend for itself against the Batarians and other threats? This is an AU story of a humanity forced to struggle and fight for its place in the stars, with many points of divergence and some pretty significant changes made to the background lore. Contains violence and some mature themes.

An alienated, brought back from the dead war hero is thrust back into a galaxy unknowingly on the brink of annihilation. With the sole goal of ensuring a galactic future still exists, Commander Shepard's mission depends on the crew he assembles, on the choices he makes, and on the loyalties he gains. And fails on the deceit and lies of those he trusts the most.

In 1958, NATO and the Warsaw Pact come into contact with a hostile UFO. It seemed to defy the laws of physics with the way it moved and the way it's mass seemed to almost...fluctuate. In a joint effort, the two powers defeated the aliens, but only just. Now, the aliens have returned, and only one organization has any hope of stopping them: the Xenonauts.

10 years since the war ended. The last mass relay is built and Normandy's crew gather for its activation. But something goes awry and an explosion opens a rift. Sucked through space and time into another universe 3 years before the Reaper Invasion. What will Shepard change? How will it change her?

Shepard finally has enough of Jacob's flirting, so she decides to put a stop to it the only way she can. Showing off her husband to the whole ship.

Shepard uses holiday decorations to her advantage, finally kissing Garrus

Shepard has always kept his personal life to himself. With good reason. A life working with the alliance was led by many guidelines. The responsibilities, and freedoms, of being a spectre started to blur those lines. This will follow a similar structure to the game but has undergone serious deviations. MShepXTali. I will be attempting to upload once every two weeks or monthly.

This starts pre ME1. Alivia is sent to Akuze and Krysta Shepard deals with Torfan.

How do the crew of the Normandy pass time when they are alone? I am using an AI to answer this question.

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.

All she wanted was to grow old together, to see their children grow up and have a life, but life had different plans for her. After a monumental tragedy, can Garrus pick up the pieces and rebuild his family as the galaxy burns around them? Third and final work in the After Series.
