No one is without fear, not really. We can pretend all we want, but at the end of the day, inside ourselves we know. Shepard is no different.

It's New Years on the Normandy, and Jack is hating every minute of it. To her, it's just another crappy year, and she's welcoming it alone. Why the hell did Shepard have to make her feel again?

There was a whole group of us, respected by any mercenaries. Suns. Bloodpacks. But it happened, none of us think it was possible, perhaps we're too cocky. In the end, I am the last of the Lunas. Never knew the loneliness and the darkness can hurt me like this. OC/Tali; mention Shepard/Garrus

So the prospect of not being here at some future date is simply not a matter of concern for him; there is nothing he could do about it anyway. It is just how it is, just as what now is is what is. Just part of the ever-changing nature of reality. He will do anything to do what must be done in order to escape the pain, and so evil vs. good it is. *cue evil laugh*

Humanity makes first contact with batarians. Aided by batarian separatists, they are able to rise on a galactic scale. With a new war breaking out, a resurgent krogan empire and humanity make war, and a combined human-turian task force makes a startling discovery that could tilt the balance of the galaxy.

The victorious king returns home from war, to find a broken home, and usurpers at his door. Post ME3.

A Mass Effect Christmas Special! Garrus Vakarian is given the unlikely task of bringing Christmas to the Normandy.

John Shepard finally confesses his true feelings to Liara.

Jane was going to become the first human spectre, and he would do anything to keep her safe from the forces determined to destroy her. Another AU with Ganis Vandrel and Jane Shepard. A story about family and the ties that bind us together.

Post-Reaper war. Shepard has survived. He will have to cope with the changes and face the challenges that can occur even after the war. But, there are also good things that can come from bad situations. His friends and experiences will pull him through, and in the end, Shepard can finally... breathe again. Rated M for future.

ONE-SHOT. When sheppard first met Ceerverus' defectors she found some invaluable allies. My take on how the Phoenix vanguards from the multiplayer ended up fighting for the alliance.

Garrus/Victus. He wasn't even aware he had fallen until it was too late. Mini-fill for masskink.

After the synthesis of all life on the universe, species have moved on and civilizations are starting to blossom once again. However, for Councilor Kaidan Alenko the promises of a new and better future lack from any real meaning and hope. However, the answer he seeks may not be so out of his reach.

Kaidan asks Shepard for forgiveness, but is she ready to forgive him for the things he said on Horizon and Mars? She has her doubts and struggles with the decision. Rated M for stuff that might happen in the future.

David Shepard-Vakarian amounts to a biological impossibility, but that doesn't stop him from facing the usual traumas of growing up. Bullies most of all. Part of the Machinations cycle. #ForAdam

(Post-game) War is over. The team is now scattered all across the galaxy. Shepard invites her friends to her place for their first Christmas gathering, starting a tradition of their own. We are all invited.

A collection of little drabbles relating to my OFC (and Galina "Gala" Shepard.) Mirroring this from AO3.

This is the backstory of an RP character, it will not be continued.

A year has passed since the destruction of the reapers, and I have given Samantha everything she wanted, the house with the white picket fence, the retriever, the daughter. And she's happy, Samantha is finally truly happy. But I'm not; happiness is the last thing I feel in this house.

Ashley and Samantha enjoy a smutty Christmas Eve. From the "Check and Mate" and "That Which Matters Most" universe, occurring between the two fics.

A one-shot of what transpires through Shepard's mind during the Synthesis ending. Rated T for a couple of words. Shekarian.

Tali'Zorah and Kal'Reegar need Miranda Lawson's help to rescue a lost quarian ship and crew. Their cargo may be essential to the quarian war effort - but can they trust Miranda's motives?

Shepard and her team are visiting the Citadel during the holiday season. There is an unexpected encounter. Set sometime near the end of ME2 and originally posted on tumblr.

Ashley and Miranda are stranded in a remote power plant and try to make the most of it. Originally posted on tumblr.

Vengeance doesn't die like hope does. Dominance isn't a title to be relinquished freely. The understanding the Reapers seek eludes them - they don't yet comprehend that if just one voice remains of a defiant people, it will cry for revenge.
