Dani Pryde is a genius, a polymath and a helpless clutch when it comes to social interactions. Trauma and insecurity holds her back but Anderson figures even an oddball like her can fit it on the Normandy. Dani learns about who she is, grows to be her own person and even learns a thing or two about a little thing called love. The newer, BETTER version!

Here are some episodic Star Trek esc adventures following fem Shepard and her crew. Follow the morally ambiguous Commander as she foolishly gets in over her head when she decides to indulge her curiosity about her Turian colleague.

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.

The Crucible has been fired. The crew of the Normandy, having crash landed on an uncharted world, scramble to repair their ship and reestablish communication with the Alliance Fleet. Uncertainty weighs heavily on the crew, especially its quarian engineer, who wonders if she will ever see her home, or the man she loved, ever again.

John Shepard works in C-Sec with Garrus, but he also has a sister, Commander Jane Shepard. Garrus never even knew John had a sister. How will things change when they both join her in her fight against Saren? Starts in ME1 with plans to continue beyond. Strong base around Shepard (F) x Garrus, but will also include Shepard (M) x Tali. (As of Feb 2025, now updating every Friday)

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.

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?

Shepard lives out her life on the Citadel as she struggles to make sense of a warped reality. Her understanding of the nature of the universe is upended by a message from someone named "Archangel" who promises her precious answers, if only she can evade the monster hunting her in the shadows. But how deep does the rabbit hole go? This is a completed work, updating weekly.

These stories are just fragments of Jonathan Shepard life through the first three games and his life afterwards. These stories will also be of his family. What lies ahead for him, his lover and his children? The stories are in chronological order, and one will explain another whether it's next or further down the line. Shepard Stories is currently being edited.

Sequel to ME: Intelligence. Seventeen years after the start of the human-batarian war, three soldiers struggle to become the people they are meant to be. The Systems Alliance - Migrant Fleet Alliance strive to end hostility with the batarians, and build a strong friendship with the Citadel Council, but not everyone sees those as good things. (Some Halo tech thrown in)

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.

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.

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.

His father worked with powerful people. His mother died from plague, leaving Cuillean, his sister and his father to live alone and raise a life in the forests of Thorolf as woodcutters. One day, Cuillean and his father are the unfortunate witnesses of a murder—an accident by Cuillean's fifteen-year-old hands… [Summary continued…]

What if the Prothean hid asari on planet Earth as one of their many plans, what would happen if asari and humans lived side by side for thousands of years before space travel started? This is that story. image taken from

When the fading Protheans hidden away on Ilos awoke from their slumber, they found extinction waiting for them. All but twelve lost to their sleep. And so a species was chosen to avenge. To remain hidden, freed from the chains of the Relays until the time came. And so the Twelve uplifted the ones who called themselves Humans. And the Invisible Empire was born. WIP/slow updates.

Dani Pryde is a genius, a polymath and a helpless clutch when it comes to social interactions. Trauma and insecurity holds her back but Anderson figures even an oddball like her can fit it on the Normandy. Spanning the events of ME and ME2, Dani learns about who she is, grows to be her own person and even learns a thing or two about a little thing called love.
