The Reapers are gone. Shepard is dead. And as Garrus tries to put down an old enemy, and Javik plans to put himself down, fickle fate lands them on the same planet. A 50,000 year old failed mission and an insane mercenary thought to be dead have combined into a deadly powder keg that they'll have to work together to defuse. Somehow.

After the war? New battles were to be waged and new heroes to be created. Rated T for violence, death, and profanity.

Peaceful coexistence? Why not?

(AU) [Fanfic translation!]

James finds Shepard in a rare moment of vulnerability, and it changes how he feels about her before the end.

John Shepard only had a few things he gave a damn about. His sister: Captain Jane Shepard. His best friend: Garrus Vakarian and his soft spot for Tali'Zorah.

AU, ME1. Main changes are to humanities biology. Same universe as 'Bloody Path to the Stars'. After coming onto the galactic scene in a short but bloody war, Humanity has a meteoric rise.
