Shepard is an elite mercenary, she has a top notch crew and the best ship in the galaxy. What could go wrong, well to start it off there is Saren and his army of Geth which is causing a lot of trouble leaving the council to hire Shepard and her crew to go in off the books to deal with the issue. Warning this story contains Futa, if you don't like don't read.

After awakening from her coma, very much the worse for wear, Commander Shepard has to negotiate her position in the world and slog through the tumultuous process of rehabilitation, both mental and physical. Fortunately, or unfortunately if you asked the beleaguered commander, she has two Xeno pains-in-her-butt to help carry her dead weight.

When an unexpected delay prevents Shepard from reaching the Prothean beacon on Eden Prime in time, she makes a discovery that will throw the course of future history into disarray. Now, on the brink of a galactic extinction event, can Shepard defeat old enemies with a new host of allies? Can she turn the tide of darkness, or will she succumb to it. Find out in Vanguard of Vengeance

Shepard was alive, dammit, and Wrex would do whatever it took to bring her home. A look backwards at Shepard's recovery, life, and happiness after the Reapers were defeated - as seen by an old krogan.

Mass Effect 3 Ending, just written as how I wished it could of ended.

The Collectors have been destroyed. Commander Gardner knows that, soon, he will have to turn himself into the Systems Alliance to face judgement for his work with Cerberus. However, Just because the Collectors are gone and the Reapers have not yet arrived does not mean the galaxy is any safer. There are loose ends to tie up, and Scott's team will be with him the entire way.

Brought back to life by terrorists and thrust straight back onto the frontline, Commander Scott Gardner must raise a team to take on an elusive, sinister enemy. Friends, old and new, must fight together as one if they are to succeed. Their journey into hell will either forge them into the greatest fighting force ever seen, or spell doom for them all.

Commander Scott Gardner ends up embroiled in a desperate race against time when a Human colony is attacked by a galactic hero-turned-traitor. Through visions seen only by him, he learns that the entire galaxy, and all its denizens, are in terrible danger. Will their leaders listen? Will he and his friends be enough to stave off annihilation before it is too late? The fight is on!

Shepard is not dealing with the arrival of the Reapers, and the following events well at all. Joker tries to be there for her.

"The galaxy is going to try its best to forget you. I know that now. But I never will." The events between Mass Effect 1 and 2, as told via C-Sec Officer Garrus Vakarian's communication logs. Continues the storyline from "Access Granted: SSV Normandy SR-1" - but can be read as a standalone by anyone who is familiar with the events of the games.

The Charlatan and the Pathfinder have an undeniable attraction, the type that renders a selfish, reckless passion in a person. The type that forces them into a tug of war between their desire and their responsibilities. The type that leads to blood and betrayal and a grief-stricken turian out for vengeance...

Against all odds, Shepard and the crew of the Normandy have defeated the Collectors. Understandably, they wish to commemorate this triumph with a party. Shenanigans ensue.

The Reapers are gone. Shepard is dead. And as Garrus tries to put down an old enemy, and Javik plans to put himself down, fickle fate lands them on the same planet. A 50,000 year old failed mission and an insane mercenary thought to be dead have combined into a deadly powder keg that they'll have to work together to defuse. Somehow.

Omega's reclamation comes at a heavy price. What other challenges must Aria face upon her newly reinstated throne? / Obvious Omega DLC spoilers, paragon.

The Reaper war is over, organics have won. Another war has already begun, with all alliances broken up due to the loss of comms, mass relays and guidance. Kaidan and the remaining Normandy crew must figure out how to get home. Shepard is injured, Gemma is lost and Kaidan is heartbroken. Can a happy ending become of all this loss and destruction?

While on the mission of Operation Overlord, the extent of Cerberus' war atrocities becomes clear to Miranda. She knows she owes Jack an apology for being so insensitive. Relationship grows during canon through Mass Effect 2 and 3.

Commander Hayden J. Shepard of the SSV Normandy recruits an elite recon squad to cross a turmoiled galaxy in a desperate race to stop the return of an enemy who holds no mercy. To prevent this outcome, Shepard must act outside the limits of the law without remorse and hesitation. Her only imperative is to preserve the safety of civilized life in the galaxy - at any cost.

"Ask yourself, if put in a situation where you were going to die regardless, would you go down fighting to protect, or at least the illusion of protecting your loved ones, or would you run away?"

After dealing with the Collectors, Shepard takes the Normandy to the Citadel so the crew can have some much needed shore leave. She and Joker decide that maybe staying aboard the Normandy is a better idea than going out. Set between the fall of the Collector base and before the Arrival DLC.

After the war? New battles were to be waged and new heroes to be created. Rated T for violence, death, and profanity.

Peaceful coexistence? Why not? The two superpowers of the 20th century retained their leading positions in the bipolar world, and the shaky cooperation, that replaced the tough confrontation, is preparing to face new challenges when in 2148 a beacon of an ancient civilization is found on Mars... (AU) [Fanfic translation!]

James finds Shepard in a rare moment of vulnerability, and it changes how he feels about her before the end.

John Shepard only had a few things he gave a damn about. His sister: Captain Jane Shepard. His best friend: Garrus Vakarian and his soft spot for Tali'Zorah. But all he could do was watch as they left him, one by one. Though the threat of the Reapers was still a problem and he would be damned if they won, not if he could help it... Even if he had to sell his soul to accomplish it.
