There's more than one way to be a hero. Thankfully for Shepard, some of those ways don't involve risking your neck. Some of those ways are actually FUN.

"Currently, I am getting more than I bargained for. It is late in the night, and I have already killed three hapless mercs earlier, and barely avoided an encounter with a thresher maw. A goddamn thresher maw that would have been end of the line for me." Follow Kason, the bounty hunter and his strange encounters with the mystical people of Galbatroya.

A collection of fluffy post-war Shrios one-shots. Rated T because I can't keep myself from using foul language, apparently.

This is an independent follow-up to Raven hair and abyss eyes. It's going to be a collection of one-shots taking place between the Cerberus coup and the end of ME3, with Thane along for the ride.

Shepard survived the Crucible. These are the Alliance files charting his time spent recovering in hospital. COMEDY, not to be taken too seriously. **WARNING** Shepard has hacked my account and is replying to all reviews. Proceed with caution.

The Normandy crew chat about and discuss a variety of topics. Setting will be non-chronological and non-linear between chapters. Some chapters will be set in ME1, ME2 or ME3. Others will be set in between the games.

Take three, with a different set of omnipotent people. I haven't really decided yet. If you haven't read these before, it's quite simple - a man from the early 21st Century ends up in the 22nd Century and he's not playing by 22nd Century rules. Rated M.

"You're a smuggler." Her words are an accusation, but Reyes finds that he rather likes it when she sounds put out. Brows lifting in mock surprise, he allows himself to enjoy the way he has her immediate and undivided attention. "I am?" First Meeting on Kadara: A Reyes Vidal x F!Ryder fic

A cool guy mentioned a cool thing about the Mass Effect work history backgrounds. The idea stuck with me, so I wanted to take a stab by writing a 100-word bit that tied in the idea.

Perhaps it was fate, or luck, but a friendly face in uncharted territory reminds someone of what they're fighting for. A little bit of home in the unknown to make six-hundred years seem like it was only a nap on a warm summer's day. And even if Vetra never loved her the way that Salrixa loved her friend, at least they could be there for one another through the tough times. SPOILERS

Reyes knew all about the Pathfinder before he ever met her. He knew all about her supposed exploits and triumphs in the name of the Initiative, knew all about the alliances she'd secured and the trails she'd blazed. He'd expected the bravado and charisma - he hadn't expected the crooked grin that was as much an offer as it was a promise. [f!Ryder/Reyes]

God, she really couldn't stand his eyes on her.

Between the events of ME 1 and 2, a human-turian initiative is set up, with the purpose of furthering relations between the two species after the First Contact war. One Alliance squad on Arcturus Station is joined by a turian, how will they fare with the added responsibility of diplomacy breathing down their necks? And why are they stuck babysitting ambassadors on the Citadel?

/"Why me?" she had asked once. "You're a hero to this man and women." "I'm just a soldier like them." "You might see yourself like this… but they don't."/ This bond that ties us together is something the Reapers will never understand. It's more powerful than any weapon. Stronger than any ship. It can't be taken or destroyed./ I'll meet you across the sea.

Quality bonding time and air-clearing between the Ryder twins. Game spoilers. (mentioned Bro!Ryder/Gil)

Lena Ryder wants to surprise her girlfriend Vetra Nyx with a date. Will her luck hold? She has no idea, the only thing she can be sure of is the butterflies Vetra sends to her stomach. A date on Eos.

John Desmond, a 19 year-old bike courier in NYC, lives a normal life. Then, while on a delivery, he is accidentaly cryo frozen and sent up into space as part of Project Archimedes. In 2185, he is found and unfrozen on the Normandy SR-2. What adventures may happen in a time he doesn't know? CANCELLED AND DEAD, with possible rewrite in the works(final chapter provides info on why)

"Still waiting around for her." Umi doesn't bother framing it as a question anymore, they both know he is. Like some lovesick fool. He feels like a lovesick fool, and the more the days pass, the more he's come to accept it. A short Fem!Ryder x Reyes Vidal fic

My take on what happens to Shepard, her crew, and the galaxy when the refusal ending is chosen.

Waking up on Eden Prime is not how I wanted to spend my weekend. Stranded in a strange new world with stranger characters, I skirmish with Shepard against Saren in a epic struggle to survive. When one's reality is warped and the pressures of the Galaxy are closing in on them, can they deal? Probably. Rated T for Profanity.

The Reaper War exposed deep contradictions in asari society, but in the aftermath, the fight to survive delayed any resolution. Now, over a decade later, a former Cerberus operative and a renegade asari maiden must find a way to stand for justice amid the fires of revolution. Adventure, drama, science fiction, and a surprising romance. Part of the Memoirs continuity.

You are a retired special ops soldier bored with civilian life, you decide to hire hitmen off of the dark web to kill you as a form of entertainment. Based on a tumblr prompt.

It's still early in Scott and Vetra's relationship and they still haven't told anyone on the crew that they're together. After discovering that Peebee already knows about them, Vetra begins to put pressure on a very reluctant Scott to tell everyone.
