What if humanity was diplomatically isolated from the Citadel races, left to fend for itself against the Batarians and other threats? This is an AU story of a humanity forced to struggle and fight for its place in the stars, with many points of divergence and some pretty significant changes made to the background lore. Contains violence and some mature themes.

Jane Shepard and Kaidan Alenko navigate life after the Reaper War. Searching for their own private sanctuaries in one another, they must figure out what it means to create a home.

Ever since she saw Garrus Vakarian, Leena Burke always loved him. The mechanic from the Citadel joins Garrus and Commander Shepard to protect the galaxy. On her adventures Leena will face danger, adventure, and possibly love. Only time will say if she will have the courage to tell the Archangel how she truly feels.

It's been 8 months since the war with the Reapers ended and as the galaxy tries to rebuild, a new threat works to finish the mass extinction promised by the Reapers. But before they can tackle this threat, the crew must retrieve the body of a fallen friend.

One shot, Spoilers for the Collector base section of Mass Effect 2 A novelisation of the escape from the collector base (what the hell was running through the minds of those insectoid husks anyway?)

Self-Insertion, logic/realistic approach, close to canon, no crossover. / Completed Mass Effect 1, ME 2 WIP. You have been warned.

This story is different from my others because of the lack of mythology. It begins when she is five years old and ends up a duct rat in the underbelly of the Citadel's Wards - and will continue past ME3. It will have all the main characters and some of my own. Remember, I'm not an editor, there will be typos. The story is for mature readers only.

"Our tribute is a lovely statue of your old friend Saren." Old friend. That was one way to put it.

Shepard joins Tali in the bathroom during the party. (Citadel Party AU, Shepard/Tali with background Garrus/Shepard)

The Citadel Council and the Turian Hierarchy has been at war for a good half of a century. Eager to break the stalemate, The Hierarchy seeks out a new ally in a rising Systems Alliance, bringing the war back to full speed. The Alliance now goes through it's trial by fire, as it emerges from obscurity into the galactic stage. (AU no Krogan Rebellions/First Contact Wars)

Samantha was led to believe the deal included a couple of children, but Shepard is dilly-dallying. There's only so many years one can wait for something to happen before getting ready to give up, and Shepard must find closure regarding her own childhood before she can start her own family.

Chuck "Barry" Duggan, a trucker and perpetual loner, reluctantly decides to transport a seemingly meek and book-smart Krogan called Naash to a port on the other side of Confederation space. Unbeknownst to either of them, the load Chuck is hauling becomes quite the hazard during what should have been an otherwise standard express run. (BASED ON MASS EFFECT: MURPHY'S LAW)

After the war against the Reapers, commander Freya Shepherd was presumed dead after using the crucible to stop the Reapers. My own idea on what I think happened with Samantha Traynor and the rest of the Normandy alliance SR-2 crew after the war. One-shot for now, could be it's own fic if it gets enough positive feedback or if I feel like making it one anyway.

A rouge spectre and an ancient sentient spaceship threaten all life in the galaxy with extinction. The only ones who can stop it are a misfit crew of soldiers, mercenaries, a disgraced cop, a prothean scientist, and a quarian engineer. This is an AU retelling of Mass Effect; it will span all four games and more. As always Mass Effect is a property of BioWare.

Two orphans from the city slums of Earth, raised together. They share an unbreakable bond. When their new home is destroyed and their family killed, they join the navy and become powerful biotics. When an old foe threatens the galaxy, they will fight it as an unstoppable army of two. And prove that blood does not make you family, and that some bonds can't be broken.

No one knows what happened. All that is known is the Consequence, the aftermath - Humanity was nearly destroyed, the Solar System corrupted. Nothing is as it seems. (AU)

Sara Ryder, mute since she was thirteen, struggles with the crown of being pathfinder, gifted to her by a father she never really cared for while trying to navigate life without her twin. Cross posted to AO3

Our Main character was plodding along through life before he found himself in a place that only previously only existed as a part of imagination under the actions of a mysterious entity. He could say that he minded, but inhabiting Liara T'soni's body was a nice consolation prise. 1st of Samsara Jump Chain. SI.

The War was lost, after nearly thirty thousand years of space exploration humanity and their alien allies were on the brink of destruction. The Long War with the Reapers had ended in their imminent defeat. With only Sol left to stand against the Reaper onslaught. Thus, a desperate gamble was attempted. To bring a second chance and defeat the Reapers once and for all. [AU]

Fate played as much a role in Shepard's defeat of the Reapers as did his skill. What if fate had different plans? Did you know that the Shepard on Mindoir was born as a twin? What if both had survived the raid? How would the Reapers have dealt with TWO great heroes instead of one? It's time to find out just how much better and worse things get with TWO Shepards fighting a war.

Saren Arterius is dead, and the Reaper Sovereign has learned the hard way what it means to stoke Commander Kraven Shepard's legendary temper. The immediate threat is gone, but dark things yet hide in the deep places of the galaxy. Dark things that need a boot to the ass, and a bullet between the eyes. Retelling of Mass Effect 2. Updated and re-uploaded.
