When I bought the Legendary Edition of Mass Effect I'd expected to re-live the wonder of the game, I never expected to actually 'live' it though

With friends and family at her side, Dr Liara T'Soni travels the galaxy, digging up the long-lost trail of the Protheans. Setting aside her life as an active Spectre, Shepard settles into domestic life (of sorts) to accompany Liara on her journey. Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

SAM wanted to experience feelings through her? Well, buckle up, because Sara Ryder had a crapton. Game novelization, liberties taken.

John and Jane Shepard joined the Alliance at age of 18 after surviving the attack of Mindior. Both Shepards rose quickly through the alliance ranks reaching Lt Commander. Jane became regarded as a War Hero after her heroic actions holding the line during the Skyllian Blits; While John garnered the reputation of Ruthless after his Command decision during the Torfan Massacre.

The world is at peace in 2015 but not in 2183 on Eden Prime. An unlikely hero will be forged to aid Shepard and his team to bring about Peace to the Universe and to stop Saren and the Geth from taking out the Human Race. M!Shepard X Tali, F!OC X Garrus. Read and Review Edited 01/2023

I'm not a good person. I've killed, and will continue to. However, here and now I have a chance to be better. To make the galaxy better and I'm going to take it. No matter what I have to go through, what I have to endure. I will help Shepard create a better galaxy, even at the cost of my life I will help create a better galaxy. Updates every Saturday.

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.

The Reaper War exposed humans to the galactic community at the pinnacle assault on earth. 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.

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.

Fighting alongside Commander John Shepard and traversing through the galaxy has made Tali'Zorah aware of one thing…quarians are not well liked, hated even. She realizes that they have to fend for themselves, just as they have for the last 300 years. Desperate to do anything to help her people, Tali begins to question what she is fighting for, and the lengths she is willing to go.

"Although every time you call her Miss vas Normandy, I kinda expect to see her walking around with a tiara and sash." - Joker / Shepard decides to go along with Joker's suggestion.

Originally written for the Talimancer Discord Community Advent Calendar Event. Shepard and Tali are decorating their home for the upcoming Christmas holiday. Not wanting to play any of the horrible Christmas music his species has created, he asks his wife to play some of hers. It is...not what he expected.
