Follow Samantha Traynor and Ashley Williams as they discover those things which matter most amidst it all. Title thanks to Raven Sinead. Cover art thanks to LannMelo. Picked back up July 2020.

A wide-open galaxy, filled with wonders and adventure. Not for this space station cop. What shall he do? continue down on the same path which is bound to get him in trouble or follow someone new who could give him the answers he needs and maybe even perhaps change his life forever... (Possible new romance fic with Garrus and Fem Shep)

When Tali'Zorah makes a dramatic announcement during the Normandy crew's annual reunion party, Commander Shepard must decide how to react.

Several months after their last meeting, Liara in on a party trying to forget about Shepard, but she doesn't know that the Commander is more closer to her than ever. (Taking place during Mass Effect 2)

An experiment in building a Mass Effect 1 AU Fanfic outside the cookie cut standard. Shepard is a tool, a weapon, a vector to trained on a target and forgotten about it. Her methods and perseverance have netted her mountain of corpses she has buried in the name of her SA masters. But what happens when the SA needs her to be less of a vector, and more of a nightmare? Discontinued

Kaidan loses himself in the memory of the night he and Nyx met, the night before the Normandy shipped out on a shakedown cruise that turned out to be anything but. [a/n: Based on a prompt from @theoriginalladya: for Nyx/Kaidan: Koi No Yokan: The feeling upon meeting someone that falling in love with them is inevitable.]

Summary: Nyx snatches Kaidan's senses to try something new and distracting. [a/n: A Smut Fic Prompt from @painterofhorizons for Nyx Shepard and Kaidan Alenko. They asked for E. Kinky 4. Sensory Deprivation.]

Book Three: Sovereign is dead, the citadel once ruins is beginning to rebuild, the Council is saved and now Shepard is faced with a new enemy, one held over from ancient days:The Collectors. She must race against time, Cerberus and the shadows of a war yet to come. This is part three of my Ashes world: a retelling of ME2. Many game elements are changed.

Garrus & Elle continue their adventure into Mass Effect 3! This one is a lot exciting and a lot heartbreaking, but it won't be exactly what you expect. Yes, I'm saying that the ending won't be canon bc screw that. There's a lot more to come. *Not a standalone!* Part 5 of "Rewrite the Stars" CW/TW: dark themes, tons of angst, graphic descriptions of violence/war, graphic sex

The Alliance is waiting to imprison Shepard for treason and war crimes...but Shepard & Garrus have refused to put their lives on hold. Before she goes back to Earth and turns herself in, they're taking a huge step forward. Tons of the smut you've come to love and the fluff we all crave. ***NOT A STANDALONE! You won't understand this w/out reading the other pieces first***

Abusing an old human privilege belonging to Captains of ships, Shepard marries herself and Garrus the night before the big push on Earth.

Though she knows she shouldn't, Shepard reads the Shadow Broker's dossiers on her crew. What she reads about Garrus' mother forces her to confess her crimes and offer help.

The war is over, but on Earth, Garrus is unable to avoid someone from Commander John Shepard's past. This was a very old prompt that asked for a world in which both John and Jane existed as separate characters.

Mid-ME3. Shepard makes a decision not to continue a pregnancy in favor of their mission.

Though she never expected to survive what happened on the Citadel, Shepard wakes on Earth to news that the Normandy has vanished without a trace. On her own, she gets to work.

The story of the hundred years that follow Shepard's death. Garrus struggles through his grief, marries, becomes a father, and learns what it is to keep living. This is a companion piece to my story, "The Shepard Code."

Shepard doesn't find death in the cold black of space, under the crushing weight of a reaper, or even in the blast that tears the Citadel apart. She dies when everyone least expects it, on a street with the sun shining on her face.

Shepard puts Garrus back on the Normandy while she heads to the beam on her own. Garrus refuses to accept that they're leaving her behind.

Shepard arrives on Menae intent on fetching the new Primarch, but finds that despite the war raging on around them, the Turian soldiers have their own interest in her. A much requested follow up to a very old one-shot: Curiosity.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete."- Art of War. This is my first fanfic, I encourage opinions and advice. Enjoy! ME1-ME3 and after. The growing bond between the Commander and the Asari Councilor...REWRITE and RE-CONFIGURATION.

A second chance in another universe… in someone else's body? Would you have accepted? How far would you go to prepare the galaxy against the Reapers? Can unforeseen factors in the equation that even the Reapers didn't account for, in their billion-year existence, tip the scale of balance in the organic's favor?

The Reapers have arrived. The war has begun, and already the galaxy crumbles. Reunited with old friends, aided by new allies, Shepard finally finds herself face-to-face the enemies she's dreaded for years...while keeping Cerberus at bay with one hand. (Cover images all belong to Bioware. As with Mass Effect itself, I'm just borrowing them and giving credit where it's due.)

Resurrecting a story I started 10 years ago before the release of ME3. The crew of the Normandy have returned safely from the Omega 4 Relay, but the announcement of Shepard's survival brings out enemies both old and new.

Unprompted fill for the Mass Effect Kink Meme, showing what I think would happen if the "Batarians capture Shep and try/execute him for Aratoht" plotline actually happened. In a fictional universe. Oh, whatever.

When rumors about her being the ship's bicycle get to be too much for Kelly, she provides an object lesson. Written for the Mass Effect Kink Meme, now publicly claimed because I don't care who knows I write smut anymore.
