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.

Iram Lo'Solatar has suffered many losses in his life, he tells his story of how he, a lone wolf, became a fighter, and was offered an opportunity of a lifetime.

(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

Part 1: It's 2165. Humanity is adapting as newcomers to an old galaxy. The old guard is fading and new ideals are competing at every level for power and influence. Jason isn't.. not intentionally. His entire life has been a struggle between things and this feels no different. The problem is that everything in the galaxy is a lie that is intent on dragging him into the middle of it.

Born the heir of Kama Sousan and Cuillean Kiross (unbeknownst to the father), Cassius Sousan is driven to unite and conquer. He starts in Umay. With the blessing of his queen—a rachni queen—Cassius reaches…On Earth, Cuillean Kiross begins a new life both foreign and strange to him. His family is with him. Melanctha, Cagney, and Hannah, his daughter… [Summary continued…]

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.

After the death of the Archon, the kett leadership went to Primus. She has taken the kett and many species from the Milky Way for study. After three hundred years of waiting, the kett have returned and new heroes must face them. The new Mass Effect story begins in Andromeda with a hero that must unite two super powers to save them from the coming threat. Trust is the problem.

All things considered, it's probably for the best. Jane got to be the Hero. I got to be the Villain. And I can live with that.

Commander Shepard: the 'Lion of Elysium', the 'Survivor of Akuze', and the 'Butcher of Torfan'; humanity's first Spectre. A galactic threat looms in the background as Shepard is forced to confront his past, to fight the future. General development of characters throughout; darker and grittier undertone. Slightly AU version of ME1's events.

Humans are a bunch of overly paranoid war apes. What happens when you give these war-loving apes the 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

After the events of Mass Effect 1, certain events start to happen to start collecting information and start making alliances so don't have another ship like Sovereign doesn't have a chance to attack anywhere in the galaxy. All the while femshep is taking charge of new alliance organization as a spectre to not only prove the reapers are real but galaxy have a fighting chance.

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]

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.
