What if, for once in mankind’s history, nothing went wrong? No corruption, no greed, no hunger for power and certainly no deliberate obstruction to progress. What if for once everything went right? It would be amazing, but probably overly optimistic too.

Commander Shepard is the sole survivor with a synthetic sole, among other augmentations due to the Akuze incident. She's suppressed her emotions and ignored persuasions to retire in her willingness to continue her tour of duty, relying on medication to help with her nightmares and the phantom pains that have persisted. People think it's determination. It's just a distraction.

From the gutters to the stars, Gale Shepard clawed a path out the bloodstained dirt of Earth. She always was a firm believer of charging forward. From the skies to the dirt, Liara T'Soni dug a path through the bloodstained bones of Protheans. She always was a firm believer that the most important truths were rooted in the past. They're simple ideologies, complicated by collision.

Undertaking a mission for August Bradley at Prodromos, Ryder and company get more than they bargained for.

The combat drone installed in the omni-tool Cerberus gave to engineer Evangeline Shepard is a sophisticated piece of equipment, and there aren't a lot of safeguards isolating it from other systems in Shepard's omni-tool or within Normandy's servers. The combat drone's journey to sentience. Part poetry, part prose, part experimental. Multiple POVs. S/G and J/E, but isn't relevant.

When a mysterious vessel ambushes and obliterates the Normandy SR1, Ashley and a band of survivors find themselves fighting for their lives, embracing faith, and clinging to hope, on the edge of habitable space...

If you knew tomorrow you were going to die, would you leave everything unsaid?

Garrus has always loved Shepard, and with a war tearing the galaxy apart, he can't keep it to himself anymore. *I just had a recent playthrough and the shooting competition in the Presidium could have been the perfect scene to start up a Shakarian romance in ME 3* F/M

The defeat of Sovereign brought reprieve, not victory, and an all too short one as new threats emerge. Amongst their victims is the Normandy, heroine of the hunt for Saren, and with the ship's destruction comes the loss of not just friends but also family.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody! This is just a one-shot of Lucy and Liara figuring out what Valentine's Day means to them :) [Based on the original story where I am working with information up to Chapter 37, but I tried to avoid major spoilers if readers haven't made it that far yet and am intentionally vague in some aspects in this one-shot!]

For biotickaidan for the Mass Effect gift exchange on Tumblr. Amelia Shepard was a lot of things, but she would never call herself a romantic. That's why turning to fraternization surprised her so. And when fraternization turned to an actual, genuine, using the l- word relationship? Why, that was about as romantic as she'd gotten in years.

A different tale of the cloned Shepard and his finding himself as an individual, starting at the attack of the Citadel.

Just a classic day at the office for Jane Shepard and her friends.
