Reyes Vidal... Sara Ryder. Two different people with two different goals in Andromeda. Could it really work? Or would secrets, lies and new dangers tear them apart? Based on my own Ryder from the game. All other characters are owned by Bioware.

The end of a cycle is at hand, and the return of the Reapers is nigh. However, as omnipotent as they may seem, they have a complicated process they must go through before they rain death upon the unsuspecting life forms of the Milky Way. This is a story of that process.

Some people spend their whole lives searching for love, others stumble into it completely by chance.

Events depicted here take place during an extended time period, from just after the conclusion of the Reaper War. There are time jumps—these will be listed behind the date posted at the beginning of each chapter. The first mention of Xiùlán and Sammy's dealings with Joesiar happens on Monday, 15 August 2225-CE, in chapter 36, A Special Celebration, of Transformation, Part IV, RotSB

Shepard encounters a mysterious biotic amidst the carnage of Eden Prime. The biotic quickly develops close ties with the crew, but they seem to be hiding something... Garrus x OC, Shepard (M) x Liara, slow burn

The world turns, even after a hero falls. Lines are drawn, blood is spilled, and in the shadows, an ancient power stirs. The galaxy needs a hero to rise to the occasion, and live up to her father's legacy...

After seeing Aria on the battlefield, Shepard convinced her to help to retake Earth. Together with an old friend the Ex-Asari-Commando has to lead a ground team on Earth.

In 1958, NATO and the Warsaw Pact come into contact with a hostile UFO. It seemed to defy the laws of physics with the way it moved and the way it's mass seemed to almost...fluctuate. In a joint effort, the two powers defeated the aliens, but only just. Now, the aliens have returned, and only one organization has any hope of stopping them: the Xenonauts.

In the tumultuous galaxy of Mass Effect, Commander Shepard stands as a beacon of hope, a paragon of courage, and a symbol of unity against the encroaching darkness. Yet, amidst the chaos of interstellar conflict, Shepard's legendary exploits often border on the unbelievable, prompting the crew of the Normandy to compile a meticulous record of their commander's quirks, idiosyncrasi

A detailed breakdown of the Normandy SR-2. Combining all known lore and my own creations.

All Zariya Gormon wanted was for her best friend — her sister — back from the dead but instead got herself into something far more complicating. Will it affect the mission or can she keep everything under control with ease? And how will Athena Shepard react to all of it?

Everyone knows the Quarian, don't we? Some called them traitors, some emphasize with them, most people in the galaxy shuns them. Suit rats they might be, but having one as an engineer was always the best case scenario. So, what would happen if a race known for their talent in building and creation... spawned a man who's only talent is destruction?

A Mass Effect fan is reincarnated into the universe a little over a century and a half before all the goes down. So they do their part, helping the best they can to prepare the Galaxy for what is to come. But remember, the question is not 'if there will be butterflies', but 'how thunderous will their flapping be' (Asari OC/SI)

You all know how these stories go. OC gets inserted into Mass Effect and fights alongside Shepard to save the galaxy. Wait what? What do you mean that it's more complicated than that? What could possibly change? What do you mean "the main character isn't human"? Well, what are they then?

Tali learns of a potential cure to her species plight, but it involves doing something she'd never thought of before. Can she go the man she respects and admires to find out if it is true. At the very least, she'll have fun right?

The galaxy is a vast, wonderous place, filled with life and connected by science and something just a shade beyond. But what is old watches and waits in the darkness, biding its time as the garden before it blooms. The year of that final flowering is 2183. And for one Commander Nathaniel Shepard, it's about to become a busy year indeed.

The Citadel Council - an organization tasked with maintaining the peace, stability and prosperity of the known galaxy. It is a task they had mostly excelled at since the Krogan Rebellions. The Councilors have the weight of the galaxy upon their shoulders and have to constantly balance the needs and interests of their governments and people... Competent Council AU.
