"A Single Event within a species history can turn a species into something that would of once been seen as an impossibility to those watching said species. And yet the History of Humanity seems so redolent in contradictions that would make their Ancestors quake in Horror for what they would eventually Become" - Matriarch Lindaya Professor of Species History. !AU FANFICTION!

What happens if commander Chloe Shepard falls in love with THREE cute girls? The story will follow all three games with my own twists and turns. The true changes start in the second game. I plan to concentrate on the relationships between the crew instead of the missions (we all know them anyway).

Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat. His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave. Parallel AU, Part 3 in progress.

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.

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.

Lieutenant Commander Shepard didn't know that she was never supposed to be on the Normandy, much less receive visions from the beacon on Eden Prime. But Fate, it seems, is a fickle mistress, and now she finds herself chasing a rogue Spectre across the galaxy.

S:RoR-I: Braith is reunited with more than her fair share of drell, the queen of a morthwyl race that has the ability to transmit what all have shared through the petals of the morthwyl female dimorph. S:RoR-II&III: Not one but two children born to the first human-morthwyl-drell tri-hybridization, Braith, Casnar, and Ylyssus must figure out how to keep them safe from their futures.

Jared enjoys his life, he's been going to college, has a healthy lifestyle, and plenty of friends. Everything is changed when mysterious forces come to Earth and make the populace into their entertainment; using peoples minds, they create microverses, force them to live there and be broadcasted for their race. Jared is thrust into a universe of his creation but he has to get back.

One year after the events of Interceptor, Arlen Kryik is a prolific but burnt-out C-Sec agent on the trail of a sadistic criminal gang leader. As his path crosses that of the Joint Security Task Force, who are themselves dealing with a major terrorist threat to the Citadel, Arlen faces a race against time not only to save lives but to avoid falling prey to his own personal demons.

Shepard has finally gotten free of Cerberus, but the Illusive Man never planned to let go of her so easily. Now he holds a bargaining chip too big for Shepard to ignore, and its origins have the potential to overturn her life...again. Slight AU. Set after ME2 but before Shepard returns to Earth for court martial. Quasi-sequel to Searching for Shepard, but is a stand-alone story.

The Systems Alliance launches multiple programs as an effort to mend humanity's image to the galactic community as a whole, as well as expose the marines to other species to facilitate proactive collaboration. Ensign Shepard signs up for research patrol duty as her first assignment. [Slight AU: Jane and Liara meet 10 years earlier than the events of ME1. Co-author: HappyMistake].

Join the Andromeda Initiative, Work for the great Alec Ryder, Make the first Human Pathfinder's Team, Settle Humanities new Home World, and hopefully get a promotion. These were all on Lieutenant Cora Harper's to-do list. Falling in love with The Pathfinder was never part of the plan. Then again, neither was his Son.

Dovrà intraprendere un lungo viaggio, ripercorrendo i suoi ultimi quattro anni attraverso i ricordi di Liara, a volte meravigliosi altre volte terribili. Il suo amore, il loro legame invincibile, sarà l'unica cosa capace di tenerla aggrappata a quella promessa ... "Io, ritorno sempre"!

As humanity and other Council races develop along the path set by the Reapers, a different civilization is born. Developing alongside but separately from other species, isolated from the wider galaxy. An Empire with its own FTL technology, independent of Mass Relays. What will happen if a civilization so different from others in almost every way, joins the Galactic community?

An AU where Humanity discovers a crystalline supermaterial that stores insane amounts of energy and their technology radically diverges as a result. By the time the Citadel Races encounter them, humans are a much scarier proposition than in canon. Though not to the point of being completely OP. Sae Shepard, a Special forces Siren, is going to have one hell of an impact on history!

Unwilling to give up their reliance on artificial intelligence, humans decline the offer to join the Citadel after the First Contact War. However many in the Systems Alliance recognize where that leaves humanity compared to the other races - far behind the curve. As humans scheme to catch up, the Council finds itself wary of its new neighbors. (Some Halo thrown in)

The war is over! Shepard was buried alive and recovered in a strange state of unconsciousness. She will have to take a long trip, retracing her last four years, through the memories of Liara, sometimes wonderful sometimes frightening. Her unlimited love, their invincible bond, will be the only things can keep her holding on that irrevocable promise ... "I'm always coming back"!

The Batarians found the humans first before they went into space. How will the humans behave now?

After the abrupt end to the Reaper threat, the Normandy's crew is a hundred days from home. With the help of Diana Allers' camera drone, they decide to record their thoughts and memories to help a recovering Commander Shepard through her own aftermath. What will the galaxy be like when the Normandy makes it back to the local cluster? Join them on the journey.

Cora expected many things when she came to Andromeda- hostile aliens, banditry, lethal storms while exploring worlds for settlement, and . She had prepared, though, She had readied herself for all of it...except for developing an attraction to Scott Ryder. The Pathfinder himself ! Lexi, fortunately, is available to help her out.

Five times James Vega got set up on a date ... and one time he didn't.

When confronted with evidence of bribery, asari CEO Benezia T'Soni makes a decision that will irreversibly alter the course of her life. To protect her family's reputation, she offers her body to a devious, lustful human Spectre.

The 26th Century Dawns over a united humanity as it expands across the Attican traverse. A First Contact novelization of an alternate humanity. Worthy of being called a Galactic Power. Glory to those who look forward! Glory to those who push forward!

My complete breakdown of various weapon systems in Mass Effect based on known lore with additions added by me to fill in the gaps.

The galaxy turns innocently in the void, the Cycle making endless beginnings and bloody ends. The perfect solution has held a tenuous balance for millions of years. Not everyone goes easily into oblivion. Life strives to overcome, sowing forward seeds and hope of success. How would you cope? How long would you fight? What would you be fighting for? Take my hand, it is dark ahead.
