Anopisthography: the act of writing on only one side of a piece of paper. /Modern Day AU in which Shepard is a slightly awkward Grad Student, Kaidan is a young police officer, and there is what some might call a disastrous first meeting. Rated for Language.

"'I…I don't know what's wrong with me anymore. And I don't know how to get right. I don't…know.' She finds that in her breathless release of half-panic half-rage, her hands have found themselves curled tight in his coat and her tears are hot along her lids, though unspent." - Shepard tries to find her way in the aftermath of Aratoht.

Grissom Academy a few years before Jack is hired as an instructor: Jason Prangley is not finding school challenging, and he thinks his classmates are boring losers. His only friend is the engineer Thomas Snow. But what will Prangley do when he has to chose between Snow and his fellow biotics? Prequel to Biotic Beginnings. But read Biotic Beginnings first. Rating: Language/violence

So I was just a guy who had a pretty dull and overall sucky life. Then I apparently die and now find myself drafted into a war and fighting for my life along with the galaxy with some space soldier girl and a motley crew of alien cohorts all to stop some guy called Seren! Not even counting the fact that I got some weird new powers! I wish I had my old life back. (Not Self-Insert!)

Thane promised to meet her at the other side. That promise may come true very quickly.

Shepard attempts to out-logic someone millions of years older than him and save the galaxy, all with a hole in his torso. Alternate ending, trying to give the Catalyst some semblance of a point.

This is an intro to the events of Mass Effect 2. Thanose, a Drell seeking revenge gets an offer to join Cerberus but gives a counter offer to hire on a different recruit.

An AU in the ME-universe, Teenage Shepard leaves Earth for another planet to attend school at the Normandy Academy. After one of the hardest years of her life, she is ready to hopefully take new steps towards a better future. A story of her life after the shock of loss and the discovery of new friends... and love? (Eventual FShep/Liara)

Richard has his first mission with the Spectre Halona, but things turn dicey and Richard beings to realize how dangerous this job is for him and his new Daughter.

This is my series of one shots in the Mass Effect universe between Femshep and Liara T'Soni! One shots randomly set anywhere between ME1 - ME3. Rated M to be on the safe side, as sexual undertones are suggested.

De tous ses camarades, c'était en Garrus que Shepard avait le plus confiance. A juste titre.

(AU) Shepard has been betrayed by Udina and sent to prison where he finds salvation in the form of an unlikely ally. Alongside the disgraced ex-pirate lord Atlas, Shepard begins his life anew as a crime boss with a new life agenda.

21 years after the Reaper Invasion the galaxy had become accustomed to living in a pretty peaceful environment. Planets and cultures were rebuilt, and technology had gotten back up to speed. Everything was going so well until all illusions of a peaceful existence were crushed when an unexpected enemy began a sudden uprising. Would Commander Shepard be able to save us once again?

Jane Shepard makes her way to be the first human spectre. Fighting the evil Seren, fighting husks and geth, losing her comrades and getting close to a certain Asari. (Will be F/F romance as well as F/M)

One day, Miranda comes to a terrible conclusion: she's really, really into Commander Jane Shepard. It started off as aloof respect of her abilities, turned to admiration, jealousy, friendship, and now here she is, looking at Shepard when she laughs hard and those freckled cheeks bunch up and ... oh, no. This is really inconvenient.

They say to be a good soldier is to expect the unexpected. That's fine in theory, but can one honestly be prepared to handle whatever life throws at them? As the Reaper threat returns and 'Expect the unexpected' starts to become an unwritten rule instead of just a simple saying, Shepard and her crew may need to rethink what exactly it was they signed up for.

John knew all too well the meaning of sacrifice, especially when it came to his best friend. A tale that was inspired by Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved. Modern A/U.

The Collectors are abducting colonists and its up to Shepard and her crew to stop them. But how can the Savior of the Citadel fight for a future for the galaxy, when she herself is bound to the past...and its secrets? FShepard and Miranda Pairing. Slight A/U; M for Language and suggestive themes.

This is how my Paragon FemShep took the ending of Mass Effect 3. Spoilers Ahead - you have been warned.

In the chaos of the ongoing First Contact War, the Alliance is contacted by a resistence cell comprised of captured humans on Palaven, and Shepard is drafted for a covert mission to make contact. Her cover lands her where? The Vakarian household, of course. Shepard/Garrus, AU.

Were there really three choices? Or is that just what the Reapers wanted to see? A new take on the ending that will take Shepard to new emotional triumphs, and heartbreaking lows. The ending I believe Mass Effect fans deserve and hopefully I'm here to deliver. Includes post choice scenes. UPDATE: After three years, I'm back to finish this story. Check it out!

Novitiria is a turian merc. He was her big chance to make a name for herself, but after a failed mission and a chance meeting, she may just discover that Archangel is worthy of being more than just a target. Garrus/OC, will contain sexual themes.

Snippets into the thoughts and minds of the characters of Mass Effect. A wide assortment of subjects and pairings on board everyone's favorite ship. Ratings will vary as well but will stick to a mostly "T" rating. Note: If you have a character or idea you want done, tell me in a review or PM and I shall make it happen.

You know all those other stories where the main character gets sent to another world with the help of a higher power, or at least dropped in a convenient place? Yeah, that's not me. I get abandoned from the start and have to find a way to survive. Not everyone can be the hero. I sure as hell aren't.

John Shepard was trying not to think about what his sister might be doing with Thane in the dark corners of Omega. Too bad Jack didn't have any sense of mercy. Shameless PWP, Shrios.
