In a quiet hospital in Europe, months after the end of the Reaper War, there is a patient. He cannot wake, cannot dream. Every day, a quarian watches over him. Protecting him. Loving him. And hating every moment without him.

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.

The world ends. Life goes on. Shepard and Garrus pick up—and occasionally fight through—the pieces.

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.

Commander Shepard wakes up after being killed in a surprise attack by a mysterious alien ship two years earlier to discover she's not the real Shepard, but a clone created to house spare parts in the event something happened to her true self. Jane has to wrestle with the circumstances of her creation and forge a new identity beyond the shadow of the galaxy's biggest hero.

AU Shepard was on the ship that had the first contact, and now weak and injured she finds herself at the mercy of a strange creature that seems to want to help her, but those teeth say differently. Meanwhile Nihlus wonders what exactly he has gotten himself into with this strange new species.

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

After saving the galaxy from the threat of the Reapers, Commander Jane Shepard finds her life taken from her by those she once trusted. With her only goal being to reform the galaxy she fought so hard to save, Shepard is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means destroying the very galaxy she once protected. Determined to save the galaxy from itself once more.

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?

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.

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

Our story takes place after Humanity narrowly avoids destroying itself and despite all odds manages to learn from its mistakes. Being a better, kinder species when they encounter another race in need they pull out all the stops to lend assistance.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

La guerra è finita! Shepard è sepolta viva, viene recuperata in uno strano stato di incoscienza. 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!
