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]

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.

A little depressive poetry that stars Garrus and Fem!Shep.

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

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.

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?

One mystery has stumped Garrus for a while. What's the story of the gun Commander Shepard keeps locked away in a case in her quarters?

Shepard is stolen out from under Cerberus's nose before they can wake her. The warring factions who still want her body lead her right to Omega… and Garrus. Shepard/Garrus.

A man is reincarnated in the Mass Effect Universe. He used the things he knew and helped the galaxy to win the war. After the battle against the Reapers, he got together with Shepard, Liara and Tali. But, as soon he turned 28 years old, he realized something that changed his life forever. Will our MC be able to live a normal life and have a happy ending?

My take on Shakarian. Tiny snippets and stolen moments. femShepard/Garrus Vakarian

Screams of joy filled the bridge, faltering tears left their lids, hearts pounded in waning fear, and minds blanked from exuberant dread. They are alive…. They are alive.. phuhh… "Sir… Shanzi.. Its.. its..GONE." WHAT….

What if commander Shepard had a mission on the citadel before she became the XO on the Normandy and if she ran into a certain c-sec officer while she was there?
