"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke

Ryder is only 22-years old. How could anyone expect her to bear all the responsibility of being a Pathfinder? The weight of this job was falling on her psyche and she had a difficult time to find anybody to talk to. She just wished to rest and forget.

James and Shepard have been skirting around each other long enough, but it seems that even during a party they can't seem to confront what's right in front of them. And when Jane finds out she got a little more out of the party than she'd thought, she and James decide to figure things out between them. EDIT: I've decided to turn this into a full-fledged story. Stay tuned.

He couldn't stop the war, couldn't save his home or his family - but stopping a single human girl's life from falling completely apart? That he could do. It almost felt like enough. (A story revolving around the turian officer and teen refugee seen on the docks in Mass Effect 3)

Killed in a firefight, Richter Ransom finds himself reincarnated in the Mass Effect Universe three years after the First Contact War. With the Reaper War approaching, Richter struggles to define himself in his new life. Maybe reincarnation isn't what it is cracked up to be. (AU, OC oriented)
