Self-Insertion, logic/realistic approach, close to canon, no crossover. / Completed Mass Effect 1, ME 2 WIP. You have been warned.

Here are some episodic Star Trek esc adventures following fem Shepard and her crew. Follow the morally ambiguous Commander as she foolishly gets in over her head when she decides to indulge her curiosity about her Turian colleague.

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 ME2 novelization that starts with Shepard's and Tali's reunion at Freedom's Progress. An alternate history where Shepard returns with her and is welcome into quarian society, while struggling with his own inner demons.

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

Garrus is betrayed. Ten men are dead on Omega. The gangs are already rebounding. Archangel is an unmitigated failure. After everything, there's no reason Garrus should be alive, but sometimes, people get what they don't deserve. "Just like old times," Garrus says, but it's not. It never will be again. An ME2 novelization. M for violence. Feat. Beth Shepard from The Disaster Zone.

Space, the last frontier between humanity and sky, we broke that frontier and now we face a galaxy completely unknown to us, with its secrets and horrors waiting to be discover. The council of the citadel and all his beings under its banner will face the horrors that this galaxy presents and the gods who awoke from their sleep. Where death is the sleep of the gods. (H.P Lovecraft)

This story is different from my others because of the lack of mythology. It begins when she is five years old and ends up a duct rat in the underbelly of the Citadel's Wards - and will continue past ME3. It will have all the main characters and some of my own. Remember, I'm not an editor, there will be typos. The story is for mature readers only.

Braithlyn Anne Shepard is Sunset Red. This is the story of her beginnings, intertwined with her life in various stages of her development from a small precocious child through the kidnapping from BAaT to her reunion with "Big Paw" Anderson…A non-canon, alternate u. with a twist on all her meetings with friends, enemies, and loves.

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.

"Our tribute is a lovely statue of your old friend Saren." Old friend. That was one way to put it.

Shepard joins Tali in the bathroom during the party. (Citadel Party AU, Shepard/Tali with background Garrus/Shepard)

Aboard the SSV Hippocrates, flagship of the Systems Alliance Research and Development, three Spectres find themselves up against a new horror.

As the youngest daughter to famous parents and sister to the Shepard Twins, she feels she has no place in the military. Her life takes a drastic turn when she crash lands on an unknown planet in enemy space with an strange turian that is bound and determined to keep her alive.

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. Maybe this can be my redemption.Updates every Saturday

Chuck "Barry" Duggan, a trucker and perpetual loner, reluctantly decides to transport a seemingly meek and book-smart Krogan called Naash to a port on the other side of Confederation space. Unbeknownst to either of them, the load Chuck is hauling becomes quite the hazard during what should have been an otherwise standard express run. (BASED ON MASS EFFECT: MURPHY'S LAW)

After the war against the Reapers, commander Freya Shepherd was presumed dead after using the crucible to stop the Reapers. My own idea on what I think happened with Samantha Traynor and the rest of the Normandy alliance SR-2 crew after the war. One-shot for now, could be it's own fic if it gets enough positive feedback or if I feel like making it one anyway.
