A young Quarian named Kale'Xaren is about to embark on his pilgrimage... and leave behind all the pain that his former life gave him. However he leaves behind the love of his life and he attempts to forget about it by experiencing the galaxy for what it really is and not within a ship. Rated M for language and adult themes.

"I've died," he whispers, the words unbidden but freed nonetheless. "I have died and joined you on Kalahira's shores." The goddess must hear his voice, for thunder rumbles once again in the distance. Irikah's heavy smile does not falter. "No, you still live." Mass Effect 2 Irikah/Thane Implied Thane/F!Shep Set before the loyalty mission

Post-Synthesis: A rundown of a slightly modified ending where Shepard lives through the blast, in the spirit of the high-EMS destroy ending. After the initial recovery of both Shepard and the Galaxy, we'll visit the characters as they fill their final role.

Romance between Female Shepard and Miranda Lawson. Set 5 years after the reaper invasion where Shepard always did the right thing (which includes killing the reapers how the hell that was a renegade option I don't know but what ever) Shepard also blew up the conductor from a safe distance because apparently in my story she has a brain. Contains Lesbians and sex. You've been warned

"Long long journey through the darkness" An astute figure murmured these words as she was watching the history unfold before her lifeless holographic eyes. Left behind to guide the hand of fate, Aurora knew that moment; Destiny was in the making. She smiled.

When the Normandy detects an anomaly on a remote planet Commander Shepard wants to investigate. It doesn't take her long though to wonder if she should have rethought her squad, a high ranking Cerberus operative and a psychopathic biotic with a murderous past aren't exactly easy partners. But when the mission turns into more, they'll have to learn to work as one now and kill later.

Never underestimate the power of the Little Black Dress. Mature for a reason. Some plot and fluff and men salivating over Shepard. With Bailey,Thane, Dr Archer, Zaal'Koris, Major Coats, Admiral Hackett, Han'Gerrel, Anderson and Joker

The story happening at the time when protheans had to evacuate from Thessia. Some of them were leaving behind much more than just a scientific project. Told from the POV of prothean/goddess Janiri.

Continuing the scene just before the jump through the Omega-4 Relay, Femshep/Garrus. Unabashed smut, not a lot of talking or drama, I wanted to focus on the sexy bits. Edited 4/8/14, fixed some formatting and typos and made tiny convo changes.

The only place Garrus ever felt like he belonged was at Shepard's side. Without her there anymore he feels like there is only one thing left to do. Never would she be the one to have to look over him, all alone in the cold, lonely unknown of the afterlife. To both their surprise, the afterlife isn't exactly all that lonely and unfamiliar as they expected it to be. WARNING: SUICIDE

This is a SI story: I knew it wouldn't work, but I ran. Not even two steps and I felt pain rip through me and I'm lying on the ground. As the world around me begins to fade I begin to think that this wasn't a happy birthday at all. Pairings unknown, maybe a femslash. If you don't like please don't read. DISCONTINUED. You can read the revised version.

Shepard never expected another chance at life, never thought she would have a chance to change her choices with being stronger then she ever before. (What if in New Games Plus, Shepard kept the memories she had made in the first one.)

The Systems Alliance emerges onto the galactic scene far earlier than in canon. What effect will Humanity have on the galaxy at this earlier stage? How does the younger Citadel Council and it's affiliates react to their arrival? How does Humanity change the galactic landscape? Not everyone will be content to watch Humanity claim what could instead be theirs.

Lieutenant Shepard leads a team of deadly Infiltrator specialists on a mission of sabotage on moon Torfan. History records the battle as a pyrrhic Alliance victory but few people know what truly happened on that moon or the circumstances that led to Shepard becoming known as the Butcher of Torfan. What else could come of a mission marred by ego, incompetence and personal vendettas?

This story is written from Liara's POV and deals with her emotions before/after the destruction of the Normandy SR-1. How will losing Shepard change her? How far will she go to get her life back? What will she be willing to sacrifice?

Shepard has been taken into custody from the Alliance and is now dealing with their betrayal. On top of all his Alliance drama, him walking out on Miranda didn't exactly leave their relationship in good terms. Now Shepard is trying to manage the Alliance and his lost love through anger and distancing himself, but if he keeps it up how long will it be before he looses himself.

As Shepard prepares for the suicide mission through the Omega 4 relay, an unexpected visitor reminds her that there are some things worth living for. A short two chapter story containing spoilers for ME1 and ME2.

Being assigned to the SSV Normandy is a dream come true for Chief Ashley Williams. A scary dream. Thrust into a race against time, Ashley must conquer her doubts and learn that she is "good enough", with a little bit of help from a certain Commander... FemShep/Ashley pairing covering Mass Effect 1. Rated T for language and adult themes, subject to change.

Shepard has had the hots for Tali for ages, the two women have been friends since Saren. But now Shepard wants more, but Tali doesn't swing that way. Does Shepard give up though? I don't think so, who's known Shepard to ever do something like that? Possible Femslash. No noncon

Welcome to the story of a group of mercenaries recruited into the N7 Spec Ops program. Join the leaders of the Black Chimeras as they help rid the universe of Reapers, Collectors, Cerberus and Geth. Note: This a collaborated attempt between myself and Knightwolf20x. Rated M for gore, language, and sexual references. Hope you enjoy.

What happened when Shepard finally met Thane across the sea? FemShepxThane with some fluff.

Shepard se siente culpable de toda la gente que ha muerto por su causa.

A direct prequel to Mass Effect, this story follows Shepard as he is first granted N7 status and leads right into the opening moments of Mass Effect. When a turian diplomat is assassinated on Earth, Shepard, Anderson, and others must locate and stop the assassin, who is apparently working for Cerberus.

There is a reason why everyone respects Shepard and the reapers fly in terror. Crack fic. Also find out who the father of the sage of six paths is.

All it took was one look and he was hooked. Kaidan couldn't get the beautiful native american woman off his mind. He had hoped that he could forget about her on his mission. Until she showed up on the Normandy. This was going to be interesting... the focus of this is the relationship between Kaidan and my Shepard, starting in ME1 and continuing onward
