The war is won but at a terrible cost. The destruction left in the Reaper's wake is not merely a physical, tangible thing, but an echo in the hearts of all those that have suffered too long and sacrificed too much. For Commander Shepard, the way back home is long, dark and wrought with terror.

Haunted by his unfortuned past, he ended up on Omega. Serving drinks in the Afterlife to any with enough credits, even to those loathing, savage apes. Yet nobody understands his reason for settling down in this criminal haven.

Humanity is blooming, planets everywhere to colonize, strip mine, and farm on. There is no stopping their quest for discovery, they have found the 'end all' of materials, known as Element Zero. A.U.

This is my first Self-Insert and First-Person story. Rated M for Language and other things.

The words fell out of her mouth before she could stop them. And even when she had a chance to take them back, to pretend she'd been talking about something else, she didn't. Now Garrus Vakarian was standing in front of her, stammering something about how he'd be willing to try. What the hell had she done? Renegade Shakarian, ME2 and probably into ME3 later.

I am halfway across the world for another two or three months. My family is a bunch of history freaks due to the inheritance from my parents. My uncle is a adventurer and computer tech expert. I could care less about a freaking game. Little did I know that the game called Mass Effect cared a lot about me. Enough to send me to the start of Shepards adventures. SI/OC HITIATUS

Pour les geths, les organiques avaient toujours été le plus grand mystère de la galaxie.

The war with the Reapers has taken it's toll on Commander Shepard so she decides to invite Liara up to her cabin to blow off some steam resulting in some awkward encounters with Garrus and James Vega.

James isn't going to let the two Spectres have all the fun to themselves. Adoration is a dangerous game. Kaidan/Femshep, James/Ashley. Team Milky Way friendship. COMPLETE with epilogue.

A talon mercenaries jobs across the mass effect universe.

When I appear on Eden Prime and promptly die, Ashley is left in possession of my knowledge of the future. Will she believe what she reads? Will she use it? S/I sort of. Ashley centric, Shenko. Summary altered 30/04/13.

Year later, Garrus walks into the bar.

A 100 word drabble. After millennia spent in hibernation, the little reaper-destroyer Harvester wakes up to an unpleasant surprise.

A glimpse into the afterlife of this version of the Mass Effect universe... and the Creator of the Multiverse is not like anything Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams could possibly have predicted. Co-written with CII.

Whatever he chose would shatter galactic civilization. But one choice offered him a chance to save it and he sure as hell was not going to lose now. He'd lost too much. Alternative ME 3 ending.

An A/U story where several familiar crew are N1's at the Villa in Rio de Janeiro. I seem to enjoy taking inspiration from favourite classics and play them out with our favourite crew. This one is based loosely on William Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. This comes from a request by Miriari and some lovely readers who wanted more. Love to you all!

"Amoung the trillions of lives in the galaxy, there are the stories of a few that defy explanation. The ordinary must become extraordinary and as darkness falls, heroes must rise." This story follows that of a young Quarian Pilgrim and an Alliance Marine and their friends on their journeys across the stars. Originally published on Darknest.

Cerberus is up to something. Shepard has been asked to infiltrate and find out what they are up to ... what he finds seems impossible but maybe the only way to stop Cerberus and the Reapers...

[ONESHOT] When Shepherd invites Liara over to the apartment to spend some time away from the Normandy, she has a quick and easy cure for the human's headache. One-sided Liara/Shepherd, gender anonymous. Set during ME3: Citadel DLC. (SPOILERS)

Third in the Rose Shepard Series; In the aftermath of Eden Prime, Shepard takes some personal time to honor the fallen, and discovers that friendships begun under fire are hard to break. Starring Captain Anderson, Kaidan, and Ashley. Some foreshadowing of future loves, and an exploration of the friendship developing between the marines.

A series of one-shots set in the IIML universe, telling some of the stories that weren't told in the main trilogy. Any event, involving any of the main characters, any time between the First Contact War and 7 years after the end of the Reaper War, i.e., the end of IIML , is fair game. They won't be in chronological order, but they will be concretely placed in time and setting.

It wasn't until months later that Miranda realised it was the first time she'd ever done something for the man under the mask.

That pale skin, those blue eyes, that black hair that calls the face of an angel. One with a secret making her the most devious alive. Welcome to level one of hell

Because we deserved a better ending. A real ending. One that shows the impact of our choices. Title lovingly ripped off from an absurdly long reddit rant by an understandably irate fan base. Let me know what you think in the reviews.

What happened to Shepard? What happened to the people on the Normandy? What about Earth?
