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.

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 News Network provides only the best reports on events across the galaxy, from the gleaming cities of Thessia, to the darkest corners of the Terminus Systems, to the presidium of the Citadel itself; we are there, and we bring the stories to you every day.

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

A single spark, a single event, can change the lives of many and shape civilizations. From a silent Relay far from everything, to worlds only freshly known, to a grand space station that has served as the time to a million peoples across a million lifetimes, one such event was the First Contact War. [Version Two]

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.

The final part of the Mass energy

The Reds, red tape, and everything in between intertwine Garrus Vakarian and Shepard in a murder investigation on the Zakera ward. Garrus is an up-and-coming officer at Citadel Security. He leads the murder investigation on Aptis Casotin. While Shepard, a former Alliance marine with ties to The Tenth Street Reds, finds herself stuck in the middle as a confidential informant.

What if you have to be cast into darkness in order to find the light? When the Harbinger of a relentless army looms just beyond the Horizon and the world is on the brink of war, it is up to a broken hero and a fallen Archangel to turn the tides. Except they are not what they used to be.. Driven by action, blood and ungodly sarcasm; M for language & sexy scenes. Uh wait. That's smut

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...

Shepard's entire crew is dead. Now he works with an Alliance-funded black ops group secretly disguised as a terrorist organization. He has to recruit and manage a diverse team to wipe out the Collector threat, and unveil more of Cerberus's secrets whilst in a pseudo-race against Saren. All whilst fighting his own demons whilst Reaper tech infuses itself more with his body

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.

A series of snippets into the lives of the SSV Normandy's closest and most consistent trio through all the chaos and hardship: Commander John Alexander Shepard, Tali'Zorah vas Normandy and Garrus Vakarian. (MShepard/Tali), M for language, violence and suggestive content.

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: The mission begins with a bang.

An injured Shepard is finally looking to retire after a long and arduous career. However, he first needs to use up all of his accumulated shore leave to qualify. Will he be able to enjoy some quality time with Tali, or will they be interrupted by another threat? More importantly, will Shepard even be able to defend himself?

Humans are a bunch of overly paranoid war apes. What happens when you give these war loving apes th keys to the universe? They cause mayhem. This is my take on a more realistic progress path for Humanity, specifically based on modern prediction models. Reviews and criticisms are welcome.

Shepard is a being from a parallel reality. And has come to help fight against the Reapers.

All things pass; love and mankind are grass. This is a complete rewrite of the first story in the "All Things Pass" series. Liara x Femshep.

A continuation of ME: Book II - The Spectre Chronicles. After waking up in a Cerberus space station, Shepard demands answers and finds out that she had died two years prior with the destruction of the Normandy. With two years of her absence, how will the galaxy react to her returning, and how will she react to what the galaxy has become?

With friends and family at her side, Dr Liara T'Soni travels the galaxy, digging up the long-lost trail of the Protheans. Setting aside her life as an active Spectre, Shepard settles into domestic life (of sorts) to accompany Liara on her journey. Finally, a life full of peace, love and happiness becomes reality… and the long-awaited little blues get to make their appearance.

Liara and her mother become the slaves of a very powerful pirate. OR Shepard has a thing for asari slaves, and Liara tries to fix someone who is, and has always been, broken. With varying results.

After three years of warnings and denials, the galaxy is now faced with a threat they never believed they would face: galactic genocide by centuries old, sentient machines known aptly as the Reapers. The fate of the galaxy now rests on the shoulders of Commander Kacey Shepard, a talented Commander who's career is built on performing the impossible. Retelling of ME3.

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.

The Prothean Archives on Mars were corrupted, only scraps of data remaining. What little was left led to the single largest effort in Human history. This endeavor saw a colonial flotilla and millions of souls stranded a galaxy away from home. Two centuries later, a new nation far from Earth begins reaching for the stars in search of their old home.

Do you know what the PremiseVerse needs? A Pre-Prequel! This is a look into a side seen, felt, but rarely touched on in depth in the PremiseVerse; What was it like to be on the other side of Victor in the closing weeks of the Days Of Iron?
