Commander Circe Shepard is well acquainted with death. Her life is full of death. But for Shepard, living is harder. What happens when the fight is over? Set against the backdrop of a galaxy in upheaval, 'Taproot' is an exploration of duty, change, love, and most of all, finding home. This story takes place in the 10 years after the Reaper War.

Shepard survives the destruction of the Reapers, but has difficulty dealing with the consequences of his decision. Mass Effect one-shot. Spoiler alert.

In a galaxy full of small-minded xeno scum, one man, the legendary Charles Pressly, remains the only thing standing between humanity, and the chaos of an untamed galaxy.

On a war-torn, backwater colony world, a Cerberus operative and a turian Cabalist are forced to work together to blow the lid on an intricate web of conspiracy that may have far-reaching implications for both of their peoples.

(This is a story inspired by the fan fiction Sovereingty of PoofyOhio) What happens when a broken reaper and a coward geek glitch are reunited ? Well, it turns out much can happen that can affect not only the reaper but the entire mass effect galaxy

Brutus, a being who was once an experiment but now lives with the permanent effects of that traumatic experience. Trapped in a werewolf form, he is forced to join forces with Shepard against the collectors. Can he find redemption and rebuild his once-respected mercenary group?, Or will he perish with his ghosts (This story contains lemons! It also is a Harem story! Mature audience)

Rediscover the world of Mass Effect through the eyes of "Commander" Gorman, as he finds himself many light years and regular years away from home. His mind is shattered by horrific visions and the odds are against him – but determination and luck will see him assemble a ragtag crew and take the fight to this strange new galaxy. This week: Gorman actually meets an asari. For real.

A mixed story/documentation piece describing much of the technology of the ME universe, including that which is only found in the Premiseverse. Some light language and a few morally questionable research descriptions. As with all my documentation type stories, this one is free to use by anyone who needs is.

The final part of the Mass energy

Garrus has a conversation with his mom on Cipritine's beach before he leaves for C-Sec.

Six months after the Battle of the Citadel, Arlen Kryik is a prolific but burnt-out C-Sec agent on the trail of a sadistic criminal gang leader. As his path again crosses that of C-Sec's Joint Security Task Force, who are dealing with a major terrorist threat to the Citadel, Arlen faces a race against time not only to save lives but to avoid falling prey to his own personal demons.

Shepard acts as bait for Morinth as Garrus struggles with jealousy while acting as undercover backup. Shakarian Fic alternative. Garrus goes along with Samara's loyalty mission.

Commander Alexander Ramon Shepard of the Alliance military makes contact with a Prothean beacon while on a routine mission. This changes the fate of his entire life. In more ways than he will ever understand Rated T for violence, blood and swearing Pairings to be announced later.

Everyone is the hero of their story and realizing yourself the villain can be a hard pill to swallow. Thomas Fulton has fought for all his life against one thing or another and lost a part of his humanity somewhere on the way. Is redemption even possible, or has he already passed the point of no return?

A single spark can ignite a flame that will consume the lives of many. From a battle over a lonely relay, to a treaty signed on a space station that has acted as the crypt for a thousand civilizations, this is the first contact war

Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. To that goal I will become one of the worst beings in human society. A businessman and politician. A SI/OC-story of a different kind.

Due to a drive core malfunction, a human vessel arrives just in time to save the Council Envoy from the yahg. What happens when humanity enters the galactic stage not as the race that got attacked by the turians for breaking a law they weren't aware of, but as the race that saved a turian platoon from certain death? M for wartime violence, pre ME1 - ME3, no OP humanity.

A few little snapshots of lives in the Andromeda Galaxy. One shot. I do not own the rights to Mass Effect.

John Shepard has lost everything. His friends, family, home and more. Given a second chance and a mission by a Watcher, he is sent to another world to help another Shepard in her quest and to counter dark forces at work. But nothing is ever simple as more divergence events happen and more Shepards appear. Inspired by a Fistfull of Shepards

I was chosen because I had thought it through and because I knew what pain and suffering was. Now I have the chance to see if my ideas can help Shepard save the galaxy. SI.

Lieutenant Commander Shepard didn't know that she was never supposed to be on the Normandy, much less receive visions from the beacon on Eden Prime. But Fate, it seems, is a fickle mistress, and now she finds herself chasing a rogue Spectre across the galaxy.

These are excerpts taken directly from both the Fall of Normandy & End of Dawn. Each chapter is a standalone within the same universe. Tali/Shepard universe. Love and romance. Fluff and friendship. Adventure and war.

Shepard has finally gotten free of Cerberus, but the Illusive Man never planned to let go of her so easily. Now he holds a bargaining chip too big for Shepard to ignore, and its origins have the potential to overturn her life...again. Slight AU. Set after ME2 but before Shepard returns to Earth for court martial. Quasi-sequel to Searching for Shepard, but is a stand-alone story.

Almost a quarter of a century has passed since the end of the Reaper War. The massive beings that once tried to destroy life, now help preserve peace. As the rest of the Galaxy moves on with their lives, Miranda Lawson struggles to forget. An ominous new danger reunites old friends and forces Miranda into a life she thought she'd left behind. Unrelated to the Fate series.

This is a telling of Mass Effect from the PoV of my OC. Vex, a hitman from Omega, finds herself swept up in a life-threatening adventure when she meets up with an old friend.
