With the crew scattered in their mourning, searching for meaning and purpose in a universe that has been irrevocably changed.

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)

Shepard Stories is currently being edited.

Kaidan is stuck in London after the final battle. With the galaxy devastated by the Reapers, the world feels small. Even more so without his Commander. MShepXKaidan Rated: M for sexual scenes, gore, death.

What if Citadel have War Games in 2170? Just some tournamet with Mass Effect fleets, couse I thought it would be fun. Battles beetween races choisen by readers. Rules in story. Have fun reading it!

(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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.
