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.

In 1958, NATO and the Warsaw Pact come into contact with a hostile UFO. It seemed to defy the laws of physics with the way it moved and the way it's mass seemed to almost...fluctuate. In a joint effort, the two powers defeated the aliens, but only just. Now, the aliens have returned, and only one organization has any hope of stopping them: the Xenonauts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stella Rhys, a reincarnated soul, was given the opportunity to change things for the better. She doesn't plan to surrender to fate, nor does she plan die as a footnote in history. This is her chance to make a name for herself.

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.

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.

My AU retelling of the events in ME2, with a completely new take on Cerberus, the Shadow Broker, and the Collectors. Examines the themes of what exactly constitutes death and life, the line between revenge and self-hatred, and how small amounts of light can shine in every darkness. Not a happy ending. Includes my takes on Overlord and LotSB. Rated M for language and violence.

One would think being reborn as a Krogan would ease the process of planning for galactic annihilation significantly. He even had a 100-year head start. But nothing is ever so simple for an Omega-born whelp with cripplingly human inclinations. It is a long road ahead to ensure a joint Krogan-Vorcha-Quarian-Geth-Human alliance is no longer wishful thinking.

AU: Humanity failed to conquer FTL, having no Eezo in Sol, but they did manage to overcome many other technologies which have allowed them to become the masters of their solar system, but what happens when the Citadel Council stumble across them in the year 3517AD? The Citadel wants their technology and Humanity wants out of Sol, but can a deal be struck? Heavy! focus on FC aspects

Claire Shepard attends selection at the elite Vila Militar, the school for N candidates. Prequel to Mass Effect 1.

This story follows the crew of the SSV Normandy through part of Mass Effect 1.

Some people spend their whole lives searching for love, others stumble into it completely by chance. Nicola "Nikki" Shepard was devastated when her childhood sweetheart left Mindoir, but fate is a fickle creature and in the long run it was probably for the best. Starting with brief snapshots on Mindoir and other events pre-ME1 then hopefully continuing throughout the trilogy. F/F

Endellion Shaik is struggling to answer why she is nearly 200 years in the future. In her search, she finds only promises of destruction and continuing a cycle. Determined not to fall under the same snare, she must save the galaxy from the Reapers and their sleeper agents. 6 Book saga. Book 5 ongoing. Individual blurbs on profile. Slight AU at start, extensive AU later.

Humanity, despite its valient efforts, was going to lose against the Reapers, it was obvious. So they hid her, their sole ace in the hole. Garrus Vakarian has managed to stop Saren, albeit barely, and has drawn the eyes of the Collectors. Through chance, or fate, both eras will fight. Together, or eachother. Pre-Prothean humanity, M for cursing, violence and maybe sexual themes.

Our story takes place after Humanity narrowly avoids destroying itself and despite all odds manages to learn from its mistakes. Being a better, kinder species when they encounter another race in need they pull out all the stops to lend assistance.

The Citadel Council - an organization tasked with maintaining the peace, stability and prosperity of the known galaxy. It is a task they had mostly excelled at since the Krogan Rebellions. The Councilors have the weight of the galaxy upon their shoulders and have to constantly balance the needs and interests of their governments and people... Competent Council AU.

Sequel to "Beacon's Effect 3: Awakening." In our darkest hour, we follow the adventures of Ko'le and Shepard as they attempt to break a cycle that has existed longer than any could imagine, going on seemingly impossible missions against seemingly invincible foes. But for Shepard and Company, that is what they do best. Rated 'M' for violence, language, and 'stuff.'

[AU] Jasmine Shepard joined the Alliance but instead of following the path that would lead her to save the galaxy, she became a Phantom. Working as an assassin for the Alliance's unofficial program, Jasmine encounters Thane Krios when they are both assigned the same target. Bested by the drell assassin, Jasmine pushes herself to surpass Thane but gets more than she bargained for.

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong", the old saying goes. Survivors of a freak accident that took place in 2023, two brilliant scientists are recruited into Alliance Task Force "Cerebellum" to work on cutting-edge technology alongside other talented minds. Little did they know, their work would slowly end up reshaping the galaxy as an ancient enemy emerged from dark space.

She'd woken up in an unrecognizable galaxy, jammed together from spare parts, a Cerberus logo stamped on her ass. She'd been handed a beautiful, expensive, top-of-the-line mockery of her old ship, crewed by beautiful, expensive, top-of-the-line terrorists. And either Shepard's sanity had splintered under the stress, or she was now some kind of unkillable demigod. Or both.

Has your sense of direction ever gotten you into trouble? Mine's so bad that it's capable of breaking the laws of physics. Once, I went for a walk in New Zealand in 2014, and ended up on Mindoir during a batarian raid in 2170. Where I met someone. Self-insert (SI), cover by Pretend Fiction.

My disappointment with the original ending of Mass Effect 3 was, I think, shared by many. At the time I thought I had to do something about it. What I didn't expect was for my wish to be granted by being transplanted into the Mass Effect universe, where I had to fix an awful lot more than I expected. A phrase about writing a check and having to pay came to mind...

New version posted Dec. 30, 2022. In this war, there's no where safe to flee to — just one very fast ship, her (in)famous commander, her ace pilot, and all the people they collect. A Star to Steer Her By sequel.

No one knows what happened. All that is known is the Consequence, the aftermath - Humanity was nearly destroyed, the Solar System corrupted. Nothing is as it seems. (AU)

Every great once in a while you stumble upon something that changes your world and makes you fall in love with it. For me, that was Mass Effect; but that love affair only existed for the series to break my heart with a lackluster ending. Little did I know, the universe of Mass Effect needed me - and as it turned out, I needed it, too. (SI)(AU)

Having avenged the victims of Project Delta, the Fulcrum works tirelessly to prepare the galaxy for what is coming. The Milky Way is girding itself for the coming war, though few realize it. However, it might not be enough. The Fulcrum now has the attention of the true enemy's vanguard and it is beyond anything she has ever faced before. Part 2/4 of the Fulcrum series.

Total war demands victory at any cost. After the destruction of the Bahak System, Emilia Shepard returns home just in time for the Reaper invasion. The galaxy finds itself in a race against time: win the war before there's no one left to fight. ME3, canon-divergent with a focus on the milscifi and off-screen moments, multiple POVs, paragade Shepard.

Years after the war, Garrus and Tali start 'thinking' about children, and in typical Normandy fashion, they 'accidentally' start a family. As in a kid practically gets thrown at them, and, being suckers, they get attached in less than five minutes. It goes shockingly well at first, but of course the galaxy decides it just doesn't want to stay saved. Typical.

AU. A world where Humanity was unified by a clique of scientists and engineers. Society has evolved alongside massive investments in technology and expansion that harnesses the inherent need for Humanity to grow and push at the frontiers. What happens when a technologically and politically coherent Humanity predict the existence of and finally meet the other species in the Galaxy?

An alternate perspective on a renegade Commander Shepard, why she fights, and what she lives and dies for. Spans from ME1 through ME3. FemShep/Liara pairing, non-explicit. Rated M for adult situations and just to be on the safe side.

An ancient danger threatens the galaxy, unknown to all. A humanity which never discovered Prothean ruins, expanding through space on their own, emerges. Joined with the machines they created, hardened by war with a terrifying enemy, they read the writing on the wall. But will the galactic community already there listen to these newcomers, stirring up trouble everywhere they go?

She was not born into a normal life. She had no father to protect her, no mother to nurture her, no home to feel safe in, and no real chance at a future. Born in a lab, she was to be part of an experiment meant to change humanity into something new, to raise them to a new level of biological glory. Pain was her constant companion and suffering her faithful teacher. Covers Pre ME1

Sending Shepard back in time? Inefficient. Unlikely to produce significant changes to timeline. Sending the Illusive Man back in time? Difficulty level has increased. Jack Harper, The Illusive Man, is back where it all started. New Cerberus, New plan, and the Reapers watching, always watching. Sending a Hero back in time does nothing; Sending back this guy? Priceless. AU.

AU, where the reapers never happened. The young, freshly nominated first human spectre Jane Shepard finds herself having to work together with the violent, mysterious Saren Arterius. Will they get along or hate each other? Can they protect the peace in the galaxy as good spectres supposed to? Updates: Weekly, every Sunday!

"Synthesis is the final evolution of all life." That's what the Catalyst claims, but it's really not all that it's cracked up to be. After being forced into this 'evolution', Jordan Sower ends up in Mass Effect with two purposes: Save the Galaxy and Synthesize all life. But he doesn't take orders from the Catalyst! Follow Jordan as he tries to change things for the better. Maybe.

Humanity never developed FTL. The Prothean archives contained no technology, no Element Zero, just a warning. Isolated from the rest of the galaxy for two thousand years, restricted to their only system, how will humanity have changed when they first meet the Turians? AU, alternate history of humanity and First Contact.

The year is 2175 and the galaxy is at peace. In the Terminus Systems, Battarian sponsored pirates gather, willing to test the resolve and capabilities of the System Alliance. At a X-COM facility, the last surviving soldier from the last war has been released from stasis, ready to be healed. Meanwhile the Ethereals plot in the shadows beyond the Relay Network and Nazara awakens...

Cameron keeps a secret and personal diary of her activities. Next chapter. Cameron writes fanfiction. A simple trip to dispose of garbage becomes a life or death situation.

When Adrien Victus saw Commander Jane Shepard racing across Menae, he thought her one of the warrior goddesses of old. However, once aboard the Normandy, he learns how much more there is to her than the embodiment of war. Through the stresses and heartaches of war, the two form a deep friendship, perhaps even more. Written for the MEBB 2016. Cover art by Commander Hot Pants

AU: A quickly advancing Humanity discovers early on the fate of the ancient Protheans and the threat of the Reapers. Instead of exploring the galaxy with wonder and optimism, the leaders of the Terran Nation prepare their young race to save themselves. When they finally make First Contact, they begin their ultimate gambit; To ready all the galaxy to fight the Reapers!

Jane Shepard wears many labels. Survivor. Hero. Tiny. Fierce. Smart-mouth. Loyal. Mad woman. The truth, however, is never simple. Stopping Nihlus from leaving the Normandy alone, Shepard throws the galaxy down a rabbit hole that can only end in a dark and brutal war. AU canon-divergent. M for language, sex.

Sucked into the Mass Effect universe and finding himself replacing enigmatic pilot Jeff Moreau, James White is in for one hell of a ride as he works alongside Erin Shepard and her crew to end the Collector and Reaper threat. Begins after Freedom's Progress mission in ME2. Self-Insert. Strong!Intelligent!Joker, JokerxFemShep romance and fluff, planning TalixKelly later.

Cameron's your typical teenager, with worries that didn't really go beyond school or friends. When an infection hits home, however, he finds that his priorities must change, and that he has to fight for his right to live.

Shepard was a total noob during the first play through. She made terrible choices, skipped quests, and she didn't buy any DLCs. Hopefully she would do a better job saving the galaxy at new game plus. Rate M for sex and violence.

The First Contact War brought untold destruction to Earth, reducing Humanity to a shell of its former self. For 900 years, Humanity has been working tirelessly to lay claim to its own slice of the Milky Way Galaxy, and they are prepared to bring the Council to its knees to accomplish their goals. (Massive AU, New Technologies, and a far different humanity.)

Two years after Mindoir, Aliana Shepard joins the Systems Alliance military. Less than a week later, the man who saved her from the batarians dies in strange circumstances, leaving behind nothing but a letter. A letter explaining the most dangerous secret in the galaxy. A letter that will put her life in danger, and only the mysterious organization Cerberus is willing to help her.

After a severe skiing accident, I find myself right smack in the middle of the Mass Effect universe with no idea on how I got here. Only problem, I'm nine years too early. Will I survive what's to come? Only time will tell. Self-Insert.

Shepard chose to destroy Sovereign. The Council then declared war on the SA for that betrayal. The Humans tried to fight but it was a losing battle. Subjugation leading to extinction was not acceptable for making the hard military decision so the Humans chose another path and made a deal with the Reapers. The galaxy and the Cycle would never be the same. AU Eternity beckons.

Krysta Shepard loses her love, Kaidan, on Virmire. Now she has to brave the fight against the Reapers by herself. She falls in love with an unsuspecting ally and finds herself conflicted. She always thought she would have feelings for humans only, but not an alien. Torn, she struggles to move forward with the war knowing she would once again face death.

Commander Jalissa A. Shepard is back. Now, coping with the fallout of her own death and caught in an unpleasant alliance of necessity, she and her crew scramble to stop the Collectors. Mass Effect 2 as told through 1000-word vignettes. (Cover images all belong to Bioware. As with Mass Effect itself, I'm just borrowing them and giving credit where it's due.)

"Armed with questions and a hunting rifle, I am the last to leave Vault 76 on Reclamation Day. I find myself in a world I've only heard of, growing up with stories of an America I've never seen yet I am to rebuild. Born in the Vault, I find myself in a hostile brave new world. Now outside, I find myself on the path of the Overseer. My name is Sam, and I am looking for my mother."

Conspiracies, Cults, strange events and attacks by impossible creatures and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Can a world plagued by so much strife and unusual activity prevail and get together to face that might be their greatest challenge yet or would the eventual arrival of the Ethereals be seen as a ray of hope for a civilization at the brink of collapse?

She woke up on Ilos as a series of 1s and 0s. An Artificial Intelligence. Mass Effect is the last place a brand new AI wants to be and this one used to be a person. Who knows this should all be a game. Now on Book Two: Rebirth.

She knows this should be a game and yet she's here, as a series of 1s and 0s. An artificial intelligence. She has a chance to change everything. To fix everything. If only she could figure out what the hell was going on! Rewrite of CatalystEXE

I decided to try my hand at developing a timeline that would be feasible in the ME universe for a humanity that has been space faring for 50,000 years. So, look inside to see my own take on how a 50,000-year-old space capable humanity would develop and prepare the galaxy for the Reaper onslaught. Serious HFY! story. Complete

Relay 314 has been opened - the first in many hundreds of years, marking the dawn of a new age. The Council hadn't anticipated to find much; dust on the solar wind, or perhaps even a habitable world or two. They expected to find peace - hoped for it, really. But it wasn't to be so. The Council found humanity split. They found a civil war. AU First Contact

Third and final installment to my little series that started with "Irony, thy Name is Cameron." With Sarah temporarily out of the game with a severe injury, Cameron must continue to help John prepare for what is to come.

Leaving the Systems Alliance but staying a Spectre, Samantha Shepard continues fighting the galaxy's battles with Liara & the crew of the Knight Shade, as assassins and radical groups continue to plot against them. Old foes haunt the Spectre, her friends and family, as they find a way forward in a slowly recovering galaxy. Cover art by N7-CMDR (Visiting Mum at Work on DeviantArt).

This is a Saren/Femshep romance fanfic which will span over Mass Effect 1/(2)/3. Jane Shepard was resurrected by Cerberus, but she isn't the only one who can be reconstructed. /New chapter every Sunday!/

It is said that War never Changes; Men do, through the roads they walk, but War does not. The Humans fought The First War, and alongside the Quarians, the Alliance stands tall against the Galaxy in the face of continued adversity. Now Humanity's place is challenged, their power tested, and age-old beliefs are shattered when a beyond-ancient species is forced onto the playing field.

While commander Shepard is held by the Alliance after ME2, the rest of the team prepares for the Reapers their own way OR the one where Trev courts Miranda. Set in between 'Do Not Falter' and 'Stand Before the Wicked'.

The remnants of a story left online to serve as a standing record of an online troll who used a bot-program to spam this one story with over 700 copy-pasta reviews with a bot-program in under 4 hours.

Before the Normandy, before Saren and Reapers and Spectres, there was simply Shepard and Moreau.

Saren doesn't like children. They're messy. Demanding. Helpless. With his line of work he never expected it to be an issue. That was before he was tasked with transporting the most disagreeable five-year old passenger in history to the nearest refugee facility. Or the one where Saren ends up raising an orphaned Shepard. (Eventual Shakarian.)

A scientist and engineer is reborn by his AI creation to help save a galaxy thought fictional from an ancient enemy thought equally fictional. A player insert taking place during the events of Mass Effect 1, will become increasingly AU as the story progresses.

Sequel to Shattered Reality. With people doubting her authenticity, Shepard has to juggle her allegiance to Cerberus with the will of the Council and the Alliance. Trusting Liara to create a life for her refugees she sets off to prove herself - that she is who she was and more. Non Canon.

In the race to fire the Crucible, Urdnot Wrex arrives on the Citadel with Shepard instead of Anderson. When he hears the Catalyst's options, he's determined to leave only one choice: destroy the Reapers. Rippling backwards 300 yrs, his actions send himself and three others on a journey that'll do far more than change history, it may destroy everything. Cussing, violence, sex. CD/AU

All about Grunt.

or Hero 2:Hero Harder I've spent three years preparing for Saren and Sovereign, and now it's time to put the first of my plans into action. All of which involve me, fighting in war. A war against a murderous alien intelligence. A war against impossible odds. A war I put myself right in the middle of...on purpose...I wonder what sanity's like? It must be nice, but it sounds boring.

For Shepard, death is just another technicality (AU, Shakarian). No longer updated.

Have you ever wanted to live in a game? To become a God in another world? To lose yourself in a place so real, that you never want to leave? But ... What if you couldn't get out?

During the surrender of Shanxi, ex-Marine Hannah Shepard agrees to parley with the fleet captain of the invading turian Blackwatch. Two decades later, Hannah's daughter Jane lives in the shadow of that infamous truce. A heavily-decorated soldier long eclipsed by someone else's war, Commander Shepard now contends with the catastrophic final repercussions of First Contact. [AU]

Few men get a second chance to be the hero they yearned to be, even fewer are succesful the second time around. One man decides to do everything in his power to give the people in the galaxy an advantage, with one particular individual in mind, Commander Shepard. This story is an OC and SI insert, with perspectives of other characters of Mass Effect. Includes technology from Halo.

The Reapers have come. Surprise! Once more Shepard needs an excellent team to tackle the fight and *gasp* diplomacy. Sequel to 'Do Not Falter' OR ME3 my way.

AU: After the first contact war Humans go into hiding before the council can begin peace talks, 200 years later a mysterious mechanical monster shows up in their space, and Shepard wants to know what it is, and if they should fear it.

If someone had told Shepard she'd go from being scourge of the battlefield to a well-dressed ballroom disaster in the blink of a politician's eye, she would have laughed in their faces. But the war has left her nation in desperate need of allies, and an asari heiress needs a charming suitor... Benezia has concerns. Aethyta has feelings. Aria has plans. Tevos just wants to get laid.

Marshal Sam Collins has moved to the biggest challenge in her life; creating a Marshal's Office on the Citadel itself. Tensions run high as a young woman stands stalwart against bigotry and oppression amongst the predators in the stars to represent her kind. Can an Autistic Savant cop prove to the galaxy what a human can do, or end up the fox amongst a pack of hungry wolves?

Deputy Sam Collins has discovered discrepancies in customs logs involving a Kolwoon-Class ship. Traveling to the remote planet of Revan to track down what appears to be a smugglers' port-of-call, she has bitten off more than she can chew. Joined by three non-humans who are more than they appear, a rookie cop stands tall amidst diabolical plots and a shadowy criminal empire. (Done!)

Life keeps throwing me curveballs. From a sudden reincarnation (at least, that's what I call it) to game plots that has the details in different levels of wrong. Maybe whoever created the universe/s is just having a kick in watching me suffer. [Not self-insert. OC-Shepard. Pairings are a long way to go and still undecided. Writing this on the fly. Rating will most likely change.]

During the First Contact war, a virus was unintentionally unleashed upon humanity, a virus that wiped out the entire species within 3 years... The council memories the race, declaring it a galactic tragedy that a young race died so in-expectantly... However Humanity isn't as dead as they seem, but life as a parasite species can be rough. ( possible rewrite )

A united galaxy has defeated the Reapers but worlds are left in ruin; every race now turns to recouping their losses as they mourn their dead. Shepard, her family and her friends also begin their recoveries, each fighting their own personal battles while they strive to prevent a fractured galaxy from falling back into chaos — and to secure their own 'happily ever after' ending.

Ariana Shepard saved the galaxy twice however her warnings of the Reapers imminent arrival were ignored. When the Reapers arrive and the people need Shepard they find that even the mightiest of hero's can give up. Will someone be able to bring back the old Shepard so she can save the galaxy again or will she standby as the Reapers destroy everything? ON PERMANENT HIATUS.

By sheer chance something changed. Gears were shifted, the world froze and the universe decided to throw me a platter, serving an unfathomable realm with blue aliens, a perilous job in Chora's Den, Geth and, eventually Commander Shepard.

Set 50 000 years after the demise of the Prothean/Human species, what Liara T'soni discovered behind Relay 314 will rip apart the fabric of life as she knows it.

Extinct Humanity AU: With the Supreme Prothean Empire broken, and the Combined Systems Alliance about to follow, the legendary Normandy Crew is chosen to be the revenge of their cycle. Fifty thousand years later, Spectre Garrus Vakarian and his rag-tag crew fight a failing battle against the Reapers, and eventually crash on an uncharted planet, unaware of what they will discover.

The continuing story of my canon Shepard, as she finds herself risen from the dead, working for Cerberus, and struggling to reconnect with the only thing that has ever mattered to her. Rated "T" because I have a potty mouth.

Chief Engineer Marcus Donnelly has to wrestle with the morality of doing good deeds while working for some pretty horrible people. He also somehow has to deal with the crazy biotic criminal who's taken up residence in Engineering. Rated M for oh so much language (because Jack) and for explicit sexy times and bloody violence later on.

A Galactic civilisation caught amidst a sudden and unknown disease outbreak desperately seeks answers in the uncharted quadrant of the galaxy, unaware what, or whom they will stumble upon and just how much their lives will change. Please R&R

So can someone tell me how an 18 year old can get—literally—dropped into his most beloved game franchise? No? *sigh* Well, great. I guess there's only one way for me to find out then...I hope I don't get killed. *Self Insert. Rated T for language

A chance of fate, a rift in time and space drew Riley in. What will she do knowing all she does of the games and adrift in a time thousands of years prior to any known event? She was the Protheans hope but never the vengeance they wanted. No, she would be the hope they did not ask for.

Miranda Lawson spent two years researching and bringing one person, the famous Commander Shepard, back to life. So she shouldn't have been surprised when Shepard woke up and absolutely loathed her./ Garrus knew his best friend was dead. When Shepard proves him wrong, she's not exactly what he was expecting. ME2 through the eyes of Miranda and Garrus. F!Shep/Miranda slow burn.

Book two: Sovereign is dead, the citadel once ruins is beginning to rebuild, the Council is saved and now Shepard is faced with a new enemy, one held over from ancient days:The Collectors. She must race against time, Cerberus and the shadows of a war yet to come. This is part two of my Ashes world: a retelling of ME2. Many game elements are changed because Shepard wasn't spaced.

One brave soul saves humanity from damnation. Batarians break Council law and find a species just ripe for slavering. the Batarians learn that they've only managed to stur the hornets nest, so they beg the rest of the galaxy for aid. Yet it is the galaxy that requires all the aid they can get. (AU) (Hiatus!)

In one heavy-handed blow, a single black demon descending from the sky had shattered what little shreds of hope they were all hanging on to to restore some semblance of freedom and safety in London. The resistance fighters scattered. If they stayed separated, they couldn't all be decimated at the same time. They could just be decimated more slowly, with less fanfare.

Andrew Cooper was a pretty normal person. That was, of course, before he was thrown into a different world inside the body of a robotic canine AI. OC insert, character is aware of the ME series. Contains bad language and mild gore.

"Go to Eden Prime, they said... Get some experience for your thesis, they said... Not so simple when everything's goes sideways. This is not how I thought this day would go." -ME1, as told by Jim Matthews [SI-based OC]. Mild changes to canon. **Update: Logging this as 'Complete' and will be revising as a new story**

Stephanie Shepard. First human Spectre. Survivor of Akuze. Hero of the Blitz. Butcher of Torfan. Saviour of the Citadel. An enigma capable of bloody violence and heartfelt compassion. Her records begin at sixteen on Mindoir but who or what came before?

Warning: Crackfic. What if someone hit the Premiseverse with a happy button, and Ahern was the Spectre that Shepard should have been? Will only make much sense if you are familar with the rest of my series. M mostly for language, and violence. Does not feature angst, conspiracies, or sanity, and it's Saren, Balak and Ahern against an enemy you will die laughing to behold.

These are alternate stories on our favorite characters. From how Garrus and Shepard met, to whether or not the Protheans lived and survived the last cycle to our characters meeting when they were children

Centuries after the end of the Reaper War, Liara T'Soni has long since retired into the quiet of private life. Yet when new threats rise to threaten the galaxy's long peace, she is forced to fight once more. Can she and a new generation of allies win yet another desperate war? Final novel in the Memoirs continuity.

Yeah I'm rubbish at titles (and synopsises). Commander Shepard doesn't have a weakness, a fact anyone who's ever seen her vulnerable will vehemently attest to. Some scenes you haven't seen before and some you have. ME3, eventual Traynor romance. I don't own the characters or the universe. Definitely contains swearing. Some non-priority missions may occur out of order. On Hiatus.

Sequel to Beacon's Effect 2: Reborn. With Shepard awake and the events of Mass Effect 2 kicking off, Ko'le and Shepard must assemble their allies and face the challenge of the Collectors and the ever-looming threat of the Reapers. Rated M for language, violence, and "other stuff." I do not own Mass Effect or any of its characters. SEQUEL NOW UPLOADED- Beacon's Effect 4: Reckoning!

Bored of the mass effect story after going through so many times, a young man decided download a mod to make it new again. Pulled from his old life and experimented on, he must make a new life, in a universe that could be doomed.

Background information/codex. Humanity discovered the Mars Archives a full century early. It led to a massive divergence in history, one that likely changed the shape of the galaxy for millennia to come. Now, a full four centuries after mankind discovered that it was, in fact, not alone, an unseen threat begins to rouse. (AU History, AU First Contact)

Sequel to OMITF. The adventures of everyone's favorite time-travelling turian continue as he and Commander Shepard kick Collector butt and chew bubblegum. . . except they're all out of bubblegum. ME2. Shakarian. Time-travel.

Two and a half years after Shepards apparent death, Cerberus bring her back...but she has changed and she has a whole lot of anger waiting to be released.

Victory over the Reapers was achieved only at a steep galactic and personal cost – billions are dead and the galaxy hovers on the verge of anarchy. Scarred and changed by her actions, Evan Shepard risks losing everything she loves in the brutal struggle for peace. The continuation of the ME universe created in Catalyst of Fate. FemShep/Liara; Ashley/Miranda.

After the Normandy disbanded, Brandon took off with Kasumi for a life of crime and thievery. Six months were spent learning the trade from his girlfriend; even enjoying it. Despite their happiness, a cloud hung over them in the shape of a Reaper. When war was inevitable, will love keep them sane from the atrocities ahead? New and old faces appear throughout the fight. Adult themes.

The first thing I noticed (or felt really, not sure which, but that's beside the point) was the pounding migraine that was taking up residence in my head. I felt like I was in a head on collision with an eighteen wheel big rig. Felt like my entire brain was demanding out of my skull and wasn't taking no for an answer... This will be multiple genres.

A journey ended in one life, only to be resumed in the next. A chance to engage in a world only dreamed of, with people only ever met through a screen, on a monumental quest of unimaginable scale - all for a chance at the afterlife? Sounds like a good deal to me. A Mass Effect SI, and a retcon of the original Temporal Leap: Incipiens.

Upon encountering an alien ship, James gets flung into the future where the mass effect games are not so fictional as he thought. He didn't know what drugs he was tripping from but he did know that if the Reapers ever did come, he would do his utmost damnest to shove a big stick up their collective asses. This is a self-insert story of a young man who strives to change the future.

Meanwhile, Aria faces monsters that don't fear the Queen of Omega.

I died and now I've been shoved into a different body in a different time in a different reality. Awesome. It was just what I needed to spice up my day. I can't wait to save the galaxy and be a hero and 'get the girl'. Pfft. Right. That's going to happen. Thanks to my new body I'll be lucky to get out of wherever they take me let alone join a top secret mission. But you never know.

Cora Shepard has the illustrious duty of saving the entire galaxy, even though battling space squids it isn't necessarily what she signed on for.

Follows the N7 teams of the SSV Cambrai as they wage war on Cerberus and the Reapers. See the first chapter for details on submitting your own characters to the storyline . Mild coarse language/depictions of wartime violence.

It's the smaller stories, Doctor...the ones so often unrecorded, that are the most important. The deeds of heroes are nothing without the remembrance of private moments, what shaped them. I would not have mine go untold. And I can think of none better to share them with...than you. - A retelling of ME1 through the eyes of Liara T'Soni. First and third person POV. F!Shepard/Liara.

A strange explosion rocks the Presidium, and the woman found in the epicenter sends shockwaves ripping through the galaxy. With the recently acquired Prothean beacon slowly killing her, Shepard knows this woman is the key to defeating the Reapers. She knows, because this woman claims the impossible: that she's also Commander Shepard.

Shepard is icily unsympathetic. Liara has reached the point of combustion. An unassuming communications specialist finds herself caught in the cross-fire. As a result of a twisted dance, they reduce one another to fragments. This story is a darker examination of the characters taking place during the events of ME3.

Some families are torn apart. Others lose everyone. Fifteen years after the Reaper War, life is completely different. Small glances into a few of the side characters that try to move on from the pain the war gave them. Inspired for Jona'Hazt nar Qwib Qwib. I felt so bad for him.

After the war, Liara and Shepard struggle adapt to their new life and how the war has changed them, for better and worse. Every action has its consequence. Sequel to Love Bound. FemShep/Liara. Adult and mature themes within.

The Prothean Ruins weren't. They contained little more than mentionings of an Alien Society; as a result, humanity develops on a completely different path than what was intended, and when first contact is made not with the Turians, but a desperate, destitute race viewed as beggars and thieves, how will this dying race change Humanity? And how will Humanity change the Galaxy? *A/U!*

The universe is saved, the Reapers are leaving, and the galaxy is an emptier place for it. However the afterlife is not quite what Shepard expected. For one... it's full of Reapers. They are about to learn a lesson on organic emotion the VERY hard way.

What if, Shepard didn't truly die at the beginning of Mass Effect 2? What if the Collectors didn't -quite- succeed in killing her? What if, she took Alchera's cold to heart? Let's find out... Read & Review, Please!

The Meek must beware, for it is nearly harvest time. AU, lots of worldbuilding

An AU based on my DE series. What if Del Shepard's past had been different? What if she were the one who was the shy scientist...and Liara was the hardened commando? How would it change them, and would the love that so defined them in DE blossom once again? Old characters and new ones follow a story that is *NOT* ME or DE canon. Enjoy!

Most people say heroes fight for others. But against a threat like the Reapers, everybody needs a reason of their own, however selfish it is. One hero fights on the battlefield with guns, bullets and soldiers, the other from the shadows with knowledge, lies and power. Together, they must force an unwilling galaxy to prepare for the Reapers.

It's no good being able to drill someone from a hundred metres if you can't pull the damn trigger. A certain ex-Cerberus Operative is playing games with Ashley Williams and it's the one battle the marine isn't equipped to fight. An expansion of the Miranda/Ashley romance in Catalyst of Fate.

Mass Effect is a great game. A fun game. But the fun and games stop when it all becomes real...when I find myself on the Citadel, with the terrible knowledge of what's coming. Can one person really make a difference? I'm sure as hell going to try, because the Reapers aren't taking over this galaxy on my watch.

Commander Shepard found a dangerous ally in Leviathan. Now that the Reaper War is over, does the adage the enemy of my enemy is my friend still hold true?

A highly introspective look at Jane Shepard. Earthborn, Sole Survivor, and generally messed up. Starting with her days on Earth even before the Reds and covering at least through the very first few moments of ME3. Hits the 'T' rating pretty hard. Chapter 4: Shakedown.

To do that, I'll have to cast my lot in with the ruler of this rock, Aria T'Loak.

Commander Rachel Shepard and Doctor Liara T'Soni won't get back everything they lose, but if they're lucky, they will get each other. Set at the end of ME3 and not strictly canon.

The third in the Dark Energy Series. Covering the events of ME3 w/alternate 'fix-it' ending, follow renegade Del Shepard as she struggles to unite a galaxy...and stop a threat greater than anyone has ever before known. Rated M for language, violence.

Shepard fights Saren, her past, her memories...and against a undeniable attraction to a member of her crew. Some action. Mostly angst.

To save entire civilizations, how far will Liara descend into darkness? If she had known the answer on the beginning of this journey, perhaps she would never have started. - A standalone excerpt from my larger story, Control That Which You Cannot Destroy.

Does telling a sad story in reverse let it have a happy ending? A look at the evolution of the relationship between Anderson and Shepard, told from the End to the Beginning. (Rating for character death, coarse language; all rights belong to Bioware)

With Shepard gone and the crew disbanded, it should have just been two years waiting. Instead, Garrus and I face a new squad, a new station, new enemies, and a web of crime that's gonna take a hell of an untangling. Welcome to Omega. Welcome to Hell. Thanks to wielkiboss on DeviantArt for the cover.

Shepard struggles to keep her head free of Reaper influence and activate the Crucible while her friends race to save her life. Mass Effect 3 ending fix-it with ensemble cast. Fairly dark, and a quite hard 'T'.

AU fic taking place immediately after Terminator 3 and going on from there. Left-of-Canon, completely ignores Salvation and the TV series. My version of what happened after Judgement Day. Blood, violence, language, some shmexy.

Liara helps a drunk Shepard back to her cabin and fails admirably at playing therapist.

Aspiring filmmakers "Colin" and "Mark" meet with Shepard to discuss making a film about the Reaper War. Too bad Shepard's ideas about the ending don't make any sense.

A different history to Mass Effect in which Human technology develops along different lines than anything the Citadel knows...an Alternative History of Mass Effect.

For two-thousand: a collective condition or an act of compassion.
