Written for bluninja's Feb. contest, 'Moment of Silence'. Summary: What if Shepard is aware she's in a game? What would that do to anyone's sense of identity?

Kaidan takes Shepard to Canada she's not sure she likes it but the company is good.

Many years after her lover's death, Samantha has almost managed to convince herself she's moved on, until a movie comes along and proves she hasn't.

So the idea behind this is that, sometime between ME2 and ME3, Shepard is reminiscing about her crew and describing them to someone- maybe it's Vega, or Anderson, or Kaidan even. This time: Mordin.

SPOILER WARNING! DO NOT READ if you are currently reading my other fic, Normandy. For the Aria's Afterlife February Contest, Moment of Silence. Kaidan Alenko meets the Collectors on Horizon.

Garrus has never seen her in dress blues before. (Followed by Valkyrie Rising.)

Shepard is unusually pissed at most things and is feeling particularly lonely. That is until she starts getting messages from an anonymous person (not for long) that makes her feel special. Well a different special than the First Human Spectre. She learns that not everyting in life comes easy. Garrus/FemShep. Future language, violence and who knows what else. Slight AU throughout.

Arthur Broughton is a C-Sec Special Response Officer. Much like SWAT he deals with bombs, hostages, and heavily armed criminals. As with any Officer the Job takes its toll on him. Let's look at his Morning Routine. This is for Aria's Afterlife February Competition! A Moment of Silence.

Things haven't been the same since Garrus came back to The Normandy and Shepard misses their friendship. Takes place in ME2 not long after Garrus' loyalty mission. Obligatory 'this summary is crap' and 'first fanfiction'.

One-Shot written for the February Aria's Afterlife Contest.- Killing is simple. Some kill to live, others to protect, the insane for fun, but a few for the money. In a galaxy this big though, that's a lot of people. This is one such hired gun's day.

The war is nearing its conclusion. The Systems Alliance is in complete shambles, as are the major governments of nearly every other space fairing race. The reapers are winning. The only organization not utterly decimated is Cerberus. It is now the only power left that can effectively protect the Human race. But to do that requires the utter defeat of all Alliance forces.

EDI asks Shepard a very difficult question

In this story: Shepard is Shepherd of the VDV, Anderson has a headache, the Council has coffee and the Reapers are ripped a new one. A parody of the many things I found illogical in Mass Effect proper, done up in my classic style of satire, thought and laughs. Enjoy!

Shepard, Jack and Aria are having one of their annual nights out. Away from routine, stress and pressure. However, the "bro time" turns out to be a hard promise to follow through since the only thing they end up talking about are their other halves.

A world abandoned. An N7 unit. A race of sentient machines cleansing the galaxy of all that lives and breathes. Their mission: Defend Earth until the fleets return. And bring hope to those who live in the crippled home of humanity. Rated M for graphic violence and suggestive themes coming in later chapters. Disclaimer: I don't own or have any part in the development of Mass Effect

Growing up on the slums of Earth, an orphaned child meets his mentor for the very first time. Oneshot; Earthborn Shepard.

Garrus makes an interesting find on what should be a routine intel run. Set a few months after ME2, kind of messing with the events before ME3. Shakarian romance.

Spoilers ahead: this is my "headcanon" ending for Mass Effect 3. Shepard's life is slipping away as he tries to arm the Crucible. Harbinger is trying to persuade him to choose synthesis. Miranda would do anything to save Shepard, but she needs help, and they're running out of time. (Image by Zenopic, coloring by Gotetho, both at DeviantArt)

Shepard wakes up after destroying the Reapers but is pulled back into angsty visions of the events that led up to the destruction of life as she knew it. Now she finds herself broken, battered, and completely alone.

"We had grown into one another somewhere along the way. We were officially a team." (Shannon A. Thompson, Take Me Tomorrow)

A drunk Shepard winds up between the sheets...with a batarian. But not just any batarian. All rights are retained by Bioware.

"You're alive, Shepard," she said, gently stroking his shoulder. "Isn't that enough?" But he didn't know if it could be. Somehow, 20 of his people – the Normandy's people – died in that attack and he lived. An alternate take on ME2 had Shepard survived the destruction of the SSV Normandy and never had to be rebuilt by Cerberus.

Before she was a hero, Commander Shepard was just another soldier. Before she was a soldier, she was a child. This is a story of that before. Two shot, Spacer F!Shepard.

So the idea behind this is that, sometime between ME2 and ME3, Shepard is reminiscing about her crew and describing them to someone- maybe it's Vega, or Anderson, or Kaidan even. This is my third one. I've done Grunt and Jack- so now I'm attempting a more sensible order. The language might be a little choice, but come on, it's Zaeed.

After Horizon, Joker's had enough of the sulking on board, so he decides to do something about it. It's just too bad for Cerberus that "doing something" means dumping Shepard and Kaidan alone on a dangerous planet to hash out their problems, a planet that one member of the crew is already intimately familiar with. Rated M, mostly for later situations and a whole lot of profanity.
