Originally titled A Quarian's Liberation. Tali'Zorah has been indoctrinated by the Reapers. After a failed assassination attempt against her boyfriend, a distraught Shepard and the crew of the Normandy are left to pick up the pieces and figure out how to bring her back. But how are they do to that, and if they succeed, how will Tali come to grips with what she has done?

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

SAM wanted to experience feelings through her? Well, buckle up, because Sara Ryder had a crapton. Game novelization, liberties taken.

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? Mind your step, it is dark ahead.

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

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.

A chance encounter on Omega between two hunters, happens to result in some very unintended consequences. A Mass Effect AU that promises changes from some parts of ME 3. This is a Kai Leng/Morinth pairing, I want to write with depth to it, and major changes for them. This fic will deal with some potentially heavy themes and has spoilers for parts of the trilogy as a warning.

A small town girl, secluded to her life on the farm, found herself in the ranks of the Earth's military, something she was content to do for the rest of her life. Little did she know her life was never her own to choose with what she did with it.

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.

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.
