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.

This is an in-universe document story covering the history, ideals and formation of the massive Terminus Systems criminal empire, the Circle of the Fallen, including their membership, formation, and ideals. Written by the mighty Xabiar, with inputs from several members of the Editing Gang. Some of the concepts will be mature.

Companion piece to Chronicles of Samantha Shepard. We will use this work to publish 'our canon' side stories, including our numerous OCs, that do not pertain directly to the main storyline. If we come up with something not our normal canon, you will find them in 'Random Bits.' Please note chapters (unless a multi-chapter arc) will not be chronological.

A man from Earth makes a tough call and spends the rest of his life trying to live it down.

The Prothean Archives on Mars were corrupted, only scraps of data remaining. What little was left led to the single largest effort in Human history. This endeavor saw a colonial flotilla and millions of souls stranded a galaxy away from home. Two centuries later, a new nation far from Earth begins reaching for the stars in search of their old home.

The Reaper War may have ended twenty-five years ago but the scars that it has left behind on the galaxy still run deep and red. Aboard the SSV Hippocrates, flagship of the Systems Alliance Research and Development, three Spectres find themselves up against a new horror. Come bear witness to a humble bromance, badly-timed flashbacks, and the re-imagined fates of old friends.

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

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.

Humanity, despite its valient efforts, was going to lose against the Reapers, it was obvious. So they hid her, their sole ace in the hole. Garrus Vakarian has managed to stop Saren, albeit barely, and has drawn the eyes of the Collectors. Through chance, or fate, both eras will fight. Together, or eachother. Pre-Prothean humanity, M for cursing, violence and maybe sexual themes.

There was a time when they both thought all was well in the galaxy. That time has ended. A chance meeting between a soldier and a politician may change everything, but where will it lead them? In a galaxy ablaze, what will rise from the ashes?

Bruce "Ace" MacKinnon was a damn good fighter pilot. Earning a reputation for crazy piloting skill and tactical genius, traits that pilots rarely have both of, he enters the Normandy crew as a secondary pilot to stop Saren and his Geth. (Tali/OC) (M for violence, sexual themes, profainity, dark themes) My first fanfic, please critique as required! Some plot alteration

Over a hundred years after a virus wiped out half of humanity, they made contact with the Citadel. Are humans ready for them or are they ready for us?

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 Protheans eliminated the Reapers but their population has dwindled to hundreds and unable to continue their empire. How the story would go without the Reapers. FemShep. Crossposted on Wattpad and AO3.

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

Lt. Commander Shepard, White Death of Elysium, borderline pariah, new commander the SSV Normandy. Hackett tasks her with the thankless, redaction-heavy missions N7s train for. Along the way she forms an unlikely band of misfits into a highly effective army, and discovers just how thin the galaxy's veneers of normalcy are. (An AU/"Reaper-free" TV-Show-format series.)

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.

A dysfunctional douche gets promoted to Pathfinder with the aid of a shady organization, and wreaks havoc on the Heleus cluster. Set in the Mass Effect: Andromeda galaxy.

Commander Circe Shepard is well acquainted with death. Her life is full of death. But for Shepard, living is harder. What happens when the fight is over? Set against the backdrop of a galaxy in upheaval, 'Taproot' is an exploration of duty, change, love, and most of all, finding home. This story takes place in the 10 years after the Reaper War.

After the war, newly minted N7, James Vega, receives command of the Normandy. He's responsible for a new crew, balancing duty and self-doubt as he navigates his new role. But when vulnerable children vanish from the streets of Earth, he must summon all his leadership skill to save them. Aided by an undercover Miranda, they aim to take down the criminals that threaten them all.

Cmdr Riley Shepard: decorated Alliance officer, first human Spectre and the galaxy's last hope for freedom. It's a lot to rest on one woman's shoulders. But who is she really? Deep dive into ME1 w/ emphasis on character backgrounds, development and relationships. Generally canon w/ some original content thrown in. Garrus/FemShep slow burn. M for language/adult content.

Liara T'Soni is a very determined archaeologist who isn't worried to do a little tomb raiding to discover ancient knowledge. Cam Shepard is an ex-Alliance mercenary with a thing for people much smarter than she is. There's no way they'll get up to anything dangerous together, right?

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?

Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. To that goal I will become one of the worst beings in human society. A businessman and politician. A SI/OC-story of a different kind.

Final chapter of the Improvisation can take you a long way series. The arrival of the Reapers is imminent. A mercenary and an AI in hiding must prepare for their arrival in the absence of Commander Shepard. The Galaxy's combined firepower will only delay the inevitable demise of all organic life, but perhaps the eternal cycle of Reaping can be broken in a different way.
