After stopping the coup attempt on the Citadel, Kaidan re-joins the crew on Normandy, with a lot of questions for Commander Kacey Shepard about her time with Cerberus. It's about time he got an explanation! A causal retelling of Mass Effect 2 and a slight AU for Mass Effect 3. KaidanXFemShepard

(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

Set long after the events of Mass Effect: Andromeda (And written long before that games release), a group of pathfinders travel back to the Milky Way to discover the fate of their galaxy. What will they find? EDIT MEA has been released now, and is naturally very different from what I guessed. Consider this story very AU.

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?

Let’s give Commander Sheppard from the Mass Effect franchise an ability to change a single word (including inserting or deleting) in each codex entry encountered in each event. What could go wrong? Created using Qwen 2.5 72B

AU. First Contact War. Garrus Vakarian, the Hierarchy's brightest, is tasked with capturing the crew of an Alliance vessel that has crash-landed on some spiritforsaken planet in the Terminus Systems. What can go wrong? Garrus/femShepard. The story explores a galaxy of what-ifs where Shepard is no soldier, yet Vakarian is the Archangel to the bone.

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.

Rising after a bloody war that cost 30 years, millions of lives and decimated the hopeful spirit of humanity, the Republic now makes first contact, not as the race who broke a law they did not know existed, but as a race protecting lonely nomads from the slavery and despotism of a fascist empire. How long will they last in a galaxy that disagrees with their existence?

I'm not a good person. I've killed, and will continue to. However, here and now I have a chance to be better. To make the galaxy better and I'm going to take it. No matter what I have to go through, what I have to endure. I will help Shepard create a better galaxy, even at the cost of my life I will help create a better galaxy. Maybe this can be my redemption. Completed

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.

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. The Final Chapter, Part 1: A big reveal.

Javik isn't pleased to wake up in his pod again, this time entirely alone. Less so that he finds himself fighting alongside a mouthy Gunnery Chief soon after. But the real kicker? He's three years early. Shepard chose Yellow, and instead of a responsible Time Traveler with noble intentions, the galaxy gets Javik, who might rather die at this point. He hates this Cycle.

Commander Shepard has lost his entire squad, and only he and Saren are the only survivors of a brutal fight with a group of Collectors. Now both of them walk away with the knowledge of an impending invasion by the Reapers, and although they may both share the same goal, their methods are vastly different. One views himself as something greater, and the other does not.

After being exiled from the migrant fleet, Tali decides to head to Earth with her new boyfriend. However, its hard to face an apocalyptic future when you've just lost the only home you've ever known...

For a long time the krogan hand endured centuries of disrespect from the other species. But for three siblings from the Urdnot Clan, they will be given a chance for a better life...

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.

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.

Mass Effect plus Inspired Inventor, years before ME1.

What if humanity was diplomatically isolated from the Citadel races, left to fend for itself against the Batarians and other threats? This is an AU story of a humanity forced to struggle and fight for its place in the stars, with many points of divergence and some pretty significant changes made to the background lore. Contains violence and some mature themes.

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.

An AU where Humanity discovers a crystalline supermaterial that stores insane amounts of energy and their technology radically diverges as a result. By the time the Citadel Races encounter them, humans are a much scarier proposition than in canon. Though not to the point of being completely OP. Sae Shepard, a Special forces Siren, is going to have one hell of an impact on history!

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

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.

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.

An Asari exploration vessel, reactivated a new Mass Relay coordinates to an unexplored part at the edge of Council space. The coordinates led them away from the renowned Attican Traverse into foreign territory. Little did they know, the Relay would bring them right into the heart of a fledgling star-faring civilization… wait, a fledgling civilization?
