Millions adrift in the open sea of space, millions more stranded on strange worlds. Once united in their fight, new crises face each surviving race of the Milky Way. As the Alliance races to restore mass relays and galactic order in the chaotic aftermath of the Reaper war, the Normandy and its crew are left to find their own way home. Will fate be satisfied, or is another calamity

I think we can all agree waking up as a guy in a woman's body would be jarring to say the least. Waking up as an asari? Horrifying. But waking up as what I had the incredible misfortune to be... Let's just say I wouldn't bet on me surviving long enough to see the Reapers make their grand debut. Asari SI, starts just before ME1.

Being an engineer is hard work. Harder, if anyone actually figures out what you have going on in your head. Worse, if the Past and Present live on in a viper nests of idealism, consequences and legacy. But all that's small change when it comes to navigating a galaxy that is oblivious to its own history, living on borrowed time and in denial of its present. -Pre ME2 foundation.-

One would think being reborn as a Krogan would ease the process of planning for galactic annihilation significantly. He even had a 100-year head start. But nothing is ever so simple for an Omega-born whelp with cripplingly human inclinations. It is a long road ahead to ensure a joint Krogan-Vorcha-Quarian-Geth-Human alliance is no longer wishful thinking.

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.

They say the Asari are the longest lived race in the galaxy, thing is, you gotta be stubborn to live a long life...and if I've learned one thing in my two millennia walking the earth, is that humans are stubborn as sin. And Janet Marie Shepard? She's the worst of the bunch, I mean, she convinced this old Hoplite to join her crew. How's that for worthless, Reapers?

An artifact gathered the attention of several governments and shadowy organizations, placing huge bounties on its retrieval. It is now 2183 and these organizations have become desperate.

Work in progress, smut between aria & male shep. Please let me know what you think. Any feedback is welcome & appreciated

Slightly smut related to tali male-shep. Shep is referred to as Jay, but willing to change if enough want? Please let me know what you think, I have done my best to correct any errors, but would really appreciate feedback. Thank you

The Shepard siblings, John and Mia, are two of the finest soldiers in the galaxy. One routine mission brings them together for the first time in years, two soldiers thrown against a threat bigger than the galaxy. When their mission on Eden Prime goes awry, they're tasked with building a team to hunt down a fugitive- with a little help from the voice in Mia's head.

John Shepard is gone. The Normandy destroyed. Her pilgrimage, a journey of self-discovery, hope, and love, comes to an end. Left to wander back to her origins, she finds her home now estranged, haunted by a specter of what was and could've been. It is the end of dawn, but amidst the echoes, heralds light on the horizon. The sequel to The Fall of Normandy. Mature content.

This is my first story in sometime. Please share your thoughts & feedback. I tried my best to clear up errors. Shepard in this is referred to as “Jay”. I hope you can enjoy. Story is unfinished so please let me know your thoughts

The essence that is Commander Shepard has fought the battle against the Reapers more times than she can count, only to find herself right back where it all started. Never the exact same body, never the same first name or history. The disembodied voice struggles to break her way through to the consciousness of her current incarnation, trying to find a way to break her own cycle.

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.
