"But just for once I'd like to. I'd like to save them all. I'd trade the rest of my days if it meant Joker got his family back, if it meant Mordin could run tests on the seashells, if it meant Kaidan never died. I'd trade it all Ash ... if it meant you could love me the way I love you." FemShepxAshley

The Reapers are defeated, and the galactic community is barely holding together after the presumed death of Commander Shepard and the disappearance of the Normandy. The return of both, with unexpected complications, prompts a whole lot of questions, and very few answers. WARNING: baby! Post-ME3, canon tweaking. Rated M for mature themes. **New content available on AO3!**

Following the failed Manswell expedition at the dawn of Human space exploration, a second attempt using theoretical FTL technology is launched, and is likewise lost. The crew, finding themselves far from home, build another civilization in their new solar system. Centuries later, they prepare to launch an expedition of their own. What will they find in the galaxy they left behind?

An unlikely pairing. One is an Alliance Marine Lieutenant. The other is an instructor for biotic students. Both have pasts that they try to distance themselves from. And yet, this common trait may be the thing that will help bring them together.

Samantha Shepard, futura soldado con unos padres compresivos y abiertos, que son sus pilares de fuerza. Amante por ayudar a quien lo necesita, pero que no se deja avasallar por nadie. Decidida pero comprensiva. Con una vida en general muy feliz, y con pocos sucesos tristes.

Con un origen triste aún a pesar de momentos felices, con una soberbia inteligencia y habilidad con la mecanica y la ingenieria, Eli se sobrepondrá a todas las desgracias que vivirá escudandose en su inteligencia, pero serán las personas a su alrededor las que la ayuden a superar todo el dolor.

(One-shot) Even if the combined forces of the galaxy can't defeat the Reapers, that does not mean they can't leave behind warnings for others to find 50,000 years later.

Stephanie Ryder and Peebee hit the gym. An unexpected guest shows up... whatever could happen? M for smutty smut.

After Kaidan's brutal rejection on Horizon, Anya Shepard must find a way to move forward. Garrus Vakarian is her best friend, and the first person she leans on. This is my version how their relationship changes from mid-ME2 on. Anya Shepard is an earthborn, war hero, paragade vanguard.

(ABANDONED/LONGTIMEHIATUS) I died and thought that would be the end of it, but it turned out to be a rouse when some geth started an old machine and dragged my angry dead ass to their Universe, ooh, of course, they just think I am some old human spirit aaaand yeah that's almost the whole truth... OC/Self Insert (ABANDONED/LONGTIMEHIATUS)

The paucity of well-written sources on the various species of our galaxy has driven me to compile a systematic and concise version of my own. It is our intent to adhere to the strictest measurements of biological classification, maintaining a professional system, and providing reference material to all our sources. Note: Please feel free to use in your own works if you so wish.

Commander Shepard: the 'Lion of Elysium', the 'Survivor of Akuze', and the 'Maniac of Torfan'; humanity's first Spectre. Will this be enough to combat the Reapers? Can Shepard piece together a team to fight this galactic threat? General development of characters, with plenty of action scenes. Shepard and Tali relationship.

A former Marine and his daughter are sent forward in time by a strange explosion, only to discover they have even stranger new abilities. How will one man effect the war against the Reapers?

A few minor and realistic changes in the decisions made by the leaders of humanity drastically altered the path of Citadel Space and the Reaper War. This is the story of caution and planning over recklessness, the path of the juggernaut over the glass cannon. This is the story of humanity as it should have been. A power worthy of its Council seat, and one the Reapers can't ignore.

Endellion Shaik is struggling to answer why she is nearly 200 years in the future. In her search, she finds only promises of destruction and continuing a cycle. Determined not to fall under the same snare, she must save the galaxy from the Reapers and their sleeper agents. 6 Book saga. Book 5 ongoing. Individual blurbs on profile. Slight AU at start, extensive AU later.

An in-universe summary of the AIS Director, Yonis Chu, as written by EnigmaticOne. An OC, so it should not be taken as a canon resource. Nothing really bad, not even language.

In this retooling of the series, Admiral Hannah Shepard has triplets. Jane, James, and John were inseparable growing up and now circumstance dictates they serve together.

Femshep barely manages to survive the Collector attack and her squad goes their separate ways. Just over a year of medical leave and desk duty has the action starved Specter begging the Council for any assignment that will get her back on a ship. A ambassadorial mission to meet with a soon to be uplifted species requires an escort for the requested representatives of each race.

Death. That's what seemed to wait for them. But the fate of the galaxy rested upon them.

Nomad was not the first Traveler to be dumped into this Alternate Mass Effect Universe. And he most certainly will not be the last; these are the stories and adventures of the future and current members of the Systems Alliance Group for Specialized Tactics (GST). (Image by Fan MP07)

An angry young man takes his one chance to turn his life around. Now a former criminal may be the only chance the galaxy has left.

Kaidan Alenko went missing he never made it to Horizon. Shepard finds out after he is sent to the Citadel after Mars. Kaidan is no longer quite the same as before, there is a surprise waiting for the saviour of the Citadel. He also finds out about his past, and he still has the future to fight for. Slash, Mpreg.

John Shepard was asleep for over 3 and a half years. Now back the galaxy is in ruins due to the Reaper attack. No longer ruled by the Citadel but by power hungy Warlords, John must step up to the plate and become one himself only to find the Galaxy is a much more dangerous place then when he left it. AU (Reapers attacked much earlier) Smut, Harem.

Starts at ME2. Shepard is not amused by the whole thermal clips thing. And that's just the beginning. Semi-crack, but (somewhat) within reason. Rated M for language.

This is the recounting of finding humans using a log of a person that was there.
