This is an in-universe document story covering the history, ideals and formation of the massive Terminus Systems criminal empire, the Circle of the Fallen, including their membership, formation, and ideals. Written by the mighty Xabiar, with inputs from several members of the Editing Gang. Some of the concepts will be mature. (Complete)

FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not super canon-y, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your version of the characters. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's POV. Rated T for blood-curdling swears. FemShep/Ashley (slowest burn).

After saving the galaxy from the threat of the Reapers, Commander Jane Shepard finds her life taken from her by those she once trusted. With her only goal being to reform the galaxy she fought so hard to save, Shepard is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means destroying the very galaxy she once protected. Determined to save the galaxy from itself once more.

A Mass Effect fan is reincarnated into the universe a little over a century and a half before all the goes down. So they do their part, helping the best they can to prepare the Galaxy for what is to come. But remember, the question is not 'if there will be butterflies', but 'how thunderous will their flapping be' (Asari OC/SI)

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.

A detailed breakdown of the SSV Normandy SR-1. Class leader of the Normandy-class Stealth Reconnaissance Frigate. Based on all existing lore and my own additions.

John Shepard died, or so the galaxy thought. While most viewed him as a hero, those closest to him knew a wholly different man: an asshole who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Now, he's returned to the realm of the living in order to thwart the Collector threat, but his colorful past may make it difficult to complete his mission. (Some relationships edited.)

What's a man to do when he wakes up as a Quarian in Mass Effect? Pull up his bootstraps and backpack his people to victory.

After three years of warnings and denials, the galaxy is now faced with a threat they never believed they would face: galactic genocide by centuries old, sentient machines known aptly as the Reapers. The fate of the galaxy now rests on the shoulders of Commander Kacey Shepard, a talented Commander who's career is built on performing the impossible. Retelling of ME3.

Garrus is betrayed. Ten men are dead on Omega. The gangs are already rebounding. Archangel is an unmitigated failure. After everything, there's no reason Garrus should be alive, but sometimes, people get what they don't deserve. "Just like old times," Garrus says, but it's not. It never will be again. An ME2 novelization. M for violence. Feat. Beth Shepard from The Disaster Zone.

With friends and family at her side, Dr Liara T'Soni travels the galaxy, digging up the long-lost trail of the Protheans. Setting aside her life as an active Spectre, Shepard settles into domestic life (of sorts) to accompany Liara on her journey. Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

The Reaper War may have ended twenty-five years ago but the scars that it has left behind on the galaxy still run deep and red. Aboard the SSV Hippocrates, flagship of the Systems Alliance Research and Development, three Spectres find themselves up against a new horror. Come bear witness to a humble bromance, badly-timed flashbacks, and the re-imagined fates of old friends.

An alternate universe closely following canon, but diverging in some places. Tali'Zorah is born early and goes on a pilgrimage that will alter the course of galactic history.

A rewrite of one of my older stories: The Challenger Deep is the deepest part of the ocean, and for millions of years has kept its secrets for itself. In the year 1960 a team of scientists made the first dive to the Challenger Deep. What they discovered was something that would forever change the course of human history.

Anna is a fifteen year old girl who spent her time getting lost in fictional worlds. She never dreamed or really wanted to actually get lost in one. She fell asleep one night to find herself face to face with her own Shepard and ends up back in her own world when she sleeps. How and why is this happening? And how will she survive the Reapers? *Eventual* OC/Joker, Shekarian

An N7 Day, 2023 special post. Shepard and Zaeed get involved in something that may just prove to be a challenge. Happy N7 Day, everyone!

She'd woken up in an unrecognizable galaxy, jammed together from spare parts, a Cerberus logo stamped on her ass. She'd been handed a beautiful, expensive, top-of-the-line mockery of her old ship, crewed by beautiful, expensive, top-of-the-line terrorists. And either Shepard's sanity had splintered under the stress, or she was now some kind of unkillable demigod. Or both.

Javik isn't pleased to wake up in his pod again, this time entirely alone. Less so that he finds himself fighting alongside a mouthy Gunnery Chief soon after. But the real kicker? He's three years early. Shepard chose Yellow, and instead of a responsible Time Traveler with noble intentions, the galaxy gets Javik, who might rather die at this point. He hates this Cycle.

Shepard acts as bait for Morinth as Garrus struggles with jealousy while acting as undercover backup.

Shepard finds herself torn between battling her past and battling to make sure everyone else has a future. This may wind up becoming a series, it is eventual ShepardxGarrus with a few mentions of ShepardxKaiden and ShepardxThane. I may also tweak the timeline just a bit.

Cerberus has spent billions of credits trying to bring Commander Jane Shepard back from the dead, and despite the odds it seems to be working. Then a saboteur inside of Cerberus makes his move and Shepard's resurrection takes a horrific turn, leaving both the Alliance and Cerberus scrambling to control the situation...all while the Collectors begin their harvest of humanity.

Events depicted here take place during an extended time period, from just after the conclusion of the Reaper War. There are time jumps—these will be listed behind the date posted at the beginning of each chapter. The first mention of Xiùlán and Sammy's dealings with Joesiar happens on Monday, 15 August 2225-CE, in chapter 36, A Special Celebration, of Transformation, Part IV, RotSB

'Every time I fall asleep, I wake up in the Mass Effect universe!" Anna is a 16 year old, trying to live a semi-normal life. But everything changes when she wakes up on Virmire, right in the middle of the fight. Now she must convince Shepard that she's from the past and it's all a video game. Now in ME3.

"Space... a place so massive and full of mysteries, that it's impossible to think that we are the only ones inside it... but I wish it were that way... I wish it had been that way and that we didn't have to deal with this new crawling nightmare... this fear, that eats away at you and leaves you empty, to allow death to enter. the destroyer of worlds" (Matias AEU Apex Warrior)

The year is 2251, the 35th anniversary of the Corporate Insurrection, but there is no time to mourn. Right behind one of the relays that humanity intends to open, lays an entire galaxy of alien societies and species that they have yet to uncover, and not all of them are friendly. My take on human civilization in the space age meets Mass Effect, essentially.
