She said it was two-feet high, but maybe it wouldn't rise much more. If it did, she'd share the door with him.

Also known as Commander Shepard's funeral. The crew and the galaxy says farewell to the bravest soul in the universe. Inspired by My Chemical Romance's music video "Helena" and a Mass Effect related dream after watching too many Garrus videos. [Warning character death]

Lakota Shepard is Earthborn/sole-survivor/Paragade. Each chapter highlights Lakota's developing relationship with a crew member and/or her romantic interest, Liara T'Soni. Takes place between ME1 & ME2. FShep/Liara. New chapter: Shep and Liara smuggle "contraband" onto the Normandy...

Thanks to the constant support from Shepard, Jack has come a long way since the psychopath we first met at the Purgatory. Now, with the Collectors gone and her heart laid bare but no one to take it, Jack finds comfort in a most unexpected person.

Commander Shepard chose Synthesis and left Garrus to deal with the consequences. It doesn't take very much time for both of them to find themselves at the bar. A short, character study-esque three-shot. Deals with feelings.

The stresses of war have been getting to the both of them, and Garrus knows that it's only a matter of time before the pressure makes her explode. Shepard takes out her frustrations on the one person who will forgive her for it afterward. Rated T for language.

A poem for my favorite turian. Oneshot.

The Crucible left everything and everyone with no power. As the Normandy disobeyed orders to abandoned Earth, those who followed are now stuck, floating I'm space, with no power and limited reserves. With a new threat on the rise, will Shepard be able to defeat them with most of the survivors stuck in space with no way of getting home?... We can only hope

Snippets exploring the friendship / relationship between Garrus & Shepard. Set in and around game play events from ME2 & ME3, but not a retelling of the story.

Shepard is missing - presumed dead, but Tali will not accept it, together with her friend Garrus, and a few others, she will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. However there are those out there who will do everything to prevent her reaching her goal- and old enemy returns more deadlier than ever. Can Tali finally defeat the nemesis?

With the Reapers carrying out a relentless and devastating assault against the galaxy, Shepard is struggling to find resources to complete the crucible. But a new mission and discovery changes everything the whole galaxy knows about the Reapers deadliest weapon. Shepard, his team and others launch a mission to rescue a Cerberus Vanguard whom may be the key to beating the Reapers.

Twenty years after the battle for the Crucible, Commander Shepard reaches out to a man he once knew and respected. Space, it turns out, is a vast and lonely place, and even though he's sacrificed his own life to control the Reaper threat, Shepard is still only human after all.

She was born for pain and power, but sometime before the end of the Reaper War, Jack discovers that someone views her differently, and that he won't let her hide forever. A James Vega/Jack story set in the Commander Rose Athena Shepard continuity.

The Reapers are gone, destroyed by Commander Shepard. The Crucible was destroyed as well, but the Commander's body was never found. Refusing to believe he is dead, the crew of the SSV Normandy, led by Garrus Vakarian and Miranda Lawson, set out to find him. Little do they know, Shepard is in the hands of a cruel general, being tortured in his arena. Can the crew find him in time?

It's the year 2210, it has been twenty four years since the Reapers have been destroyed. The galaxy is still mending its wounds but the worst is behind them and lives are being rebuilt as some semblance of normal is returning. But for the daughter of the legendary war hero, finding her place is easier said than done. If home is where the heart is, what happens without a home?

John Shepard has secured a position on the Normandy as its XO. But what that position gets him into turns out to be much more than anything he bargained for. BroShep and Garrus in a brothers-in-arms style friendship, slightly AU rushed retelling of Mass Effect with original missions thrown in.

My take on why the council took so long to intervene in the First Conflict War. Short story that is suitable for all ages. Bioware owns all.

Jumping on the bandwagon. And we delve head first into ME1. There has been some concern about pairings: This will not be happily ever after for Shepard and Kaidan. This story, if I ever get there, will end up being Shepard/Jack. Lillith just likes to do what Lillith does best ;)

A series of one-shots in the Mass Effect universe, centered around my two Earthborn Shepards. John is the elder brother, sole survivor of Akuze, and left the Alliance to become a freelance mercenary. Adrianne is a war hero, the canon Shepard, and the younger sister. Chapters will probably not be in chronological order, and POVs will vary. Rated T for mild language.

Written from a prompt by Save Thane on Tumblr. Shepard watches Thane perform an assassination and, for some reason, is really troubled by it.

In the colony of Mindoir, a married couple are waiting for the birth of their son. However, after experiencing a traumatic event, fear of losing their child plagued their mind. Is their fear unfounded or could they lose their child before he is even born?

Miranda Lawson ran away from her egomaniac father at sixteen and joined Cerberus. Her life has been filled with many twists and turns but her life is going to take a drastic change when she encounters Nathan Shepard on an operating table.

The tradition of Shepard handing off her dog tags went back to when she and Liara had first started dating. It evolved into something more. Fem!Shep/Liara

Sometimes the person Fate chooses as the hero is the least heroic; Kira Shepard embodies this "ideal". Consistently burned and stronger because of it, she isn't the type of person anyone wants to put trust into, but she's the only one who can get it done. With a threat to all sentient life on the horizon and Light failing, the galaxy turns to its final defense - Darkness. Femslash.

Samantha Shepard is losing it. She has seen much but after her encounter with Kaidan, she is starting to break. She needs someone to help her pick up the pieces and a certain turian that everyone knows and loves can help her through this, and maybe be that certain someone in her life. Mass Effect 2 to the end of 3. Colinist sole survivor background. SOILERS AHEAD!
