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.

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.

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.

Miranda Lawson's 1st rule: Don't get close, friends are a weakness. Commander James Shepard fights first and foremost for his friends. When she see's his methods first hand her mind begins to change. My first stab at a fan fic, let me know how I do. Disclaimer: I don't own any part of Mass Effect, no copy right infringement intended, no revenue made, just for fun.

A brother and a sister are reunited after 11 years apart. An Alliance soldier soon to be the first human Spectre and a former Alliance soldier turned pirate will have to put their differences aside to haunt down the rouge Spectre Saren. The siblings will go through adventures, romances and heartaches. Twists to the storyline as I see fit! First part of the E.t.F story.

Who in their right mind would even consider hiring Jack as a teacher? Right! But somehow, she is the new instructor at Grissom Academy, and she will have to work hard to fit in. Meanwhile, the new kid in class is having some serious issues with his biotics. But Jack finds her own way of helping him. Read 'The Psychotic Biotic' for Jack's backstory.

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 No longer updated.

2192 CE. Garrus Vakarian is nominated Spectre by the Council a few months after the Cerberus attack on the Citadel. Due to his worrying behavior during the attack, he's placed under the infamous Commander Shepard's supervision, the first human Spectre. (No-Reaper AU, all genres from the games, plus lots of headcanons.)

What lies past the events of "Crucible." An unwanted destiny that must be fulfilled - one way or another.

AU where Commander Jane Shepard is forced to marry turian soldier as a term for ending First Contact War. My second Mass Effect fanfic. Rated M for language and maybe later for sexual themes.

2253: The Galaxy is embroiled in a tumultuous war, pitting the Citadel against the Krogan and the Batarians. All hope seems lost for the Council, as they lose more and more territory to their enemies. Yet, everything may change with the discovery of a new race; a light in the dark for the Citadel Council. That is, if the humans choose to help in the first place. Massively AU.

Its Halloween and Ripley Reed is celebrating it on the Citadel with his girlfriend Solana. During the night he remembers the Halloween 4 years ago were he met her when he rescue her and her father from Palven. Rated M for future violence and sexual content in later chapters.

Admiral Raan attempts to get John Shepard forget that the fleet under Han's orders just almost gotten him and Tali killed. However she comes in a bad time and finds himself drying from a shower, letting Raan a full view of his muscles..it goes well as expect you think as she hasn't seen a man without his shirt in 13 years. John Shepard/Raan/Tali/Xen/Various of Quarian women.

Primarch Adrien Victus makes some observations about the Commander and his subordinate, Vakarian, during his time aboard the Normandy.

Spectre training was easy. Putting up with her turian teammate during their group lessons was less so. AU story with Shepard, Garrus, Jondum Bau, and as many characters from the Mass Effect universe as I can fit in. Romance/Humor/Adventure. Cameos by Mordin, Wrex, Kirrahe, Lorik Qui'in, Kasumi, Thane, Kenn, Tali, Grunt, Nihlus Kryik, and more.

2185 – Valni Severan is back. Two years after the events of AMoRaC, Valni is accused of treason and thrust headlong into a deadly conspiracy full of adventure, betrayal, seduction, and her ex-lover, Ken Donnelly. Battling enemies on all sides, can Valni expose the real traitors? Contains strong battle violence, romance, nudity, sexual content, and lots of dancing!

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.

Walk through style narrative spanning the events of ME2 up to Shepard's incarceration on Earth. FemShep/Garrus pairing; Shepard and Garrus struggle to come to terms with her death, resurrection and consequential emotions.

Garrus a soldier is sent out to fight the humans in the First contact war aka Relay 314 Incident. He start to notice that every failed mission or hasty retreat has one thing in common. During one battle for foothold on a planet he discovers what. Not only that but someone seems to be pulling the strings and rooting for an never-ending war between the turian and humans. (Hiatus)

AU. Jack, upon escaping Cerberus, instead of falling into a life of desperate survival and running with the dregs of society... is found by a relic of a forgotten age. An age of warriors, an age of discipline... of honor. Now her immense power is tempered by guidance.

In the chaos of the ongoing First Contact War, the Alliance is contacted by a resistence cell comprised of captured humans on Palaven, and Shepard is drafted for a covert mission to make contact. Her cover lands her where? The Vakarian household, of course. Shepard/Garrus, AU.

A new race was discovered and annihilated. A century passed and Citadel space forgot, but Humanity never did.

Is a second chance enough? Instead of the Catalyst's choices, Shepard lucks into a cosmic loophole. Thrown back to the very start of her Spectre career, she has to try and save the galaxy again from the Reapers ... but does she really know what's coming? 2015 NaNoWriMo winner!

Brace yourselves for a shameless parody of the first Mass Effect game, where nothing is sacred and you never know what these idiots are going to do next. Is Commander Jane Shepard up to the task of saving the galaxy? Does it even deserve saving?

My first fanfic. Bioware owns all rights to Mass Effect.. Shepard survived the destruction of the Reapers, and has, for almost seven years, been kept and cared for on a secret Medical vessel, by the Council. Nobody knows she survived and she is desperate to find her friends and introduce Garrus to the daughter he has never met. But things take a sinister turn

Covers the events of Mass Effect 2 with the concept that Garrus and Shepard were married before the events of the first game. This is the third installment of the Parable Series (Juxtaposed and Genesis). Focuses mostly on character development and often skips actual gameplay.

Fill for the Prompt: Shep picks up a copy of Fornax on a whim after recruiting Garrus. Upon perusing through the pages she is "dazzled" by the endowments of the turian males she sees gracing the pages. Thus she begins to see her spiky companion in a much different way. Dirty thoughts and awkward flirting commence.

This is an AU Mass Effect story, featuring all the same characters you know and love, in a Galaxy Spanning Alien Abduction Adventure. It's about 300 years earlier though. I haven't decided if FemShep will be in it yet.

The First Contact War has raged for six years, and both sides are sick of it. A peace treaty is in the works but Udina wants a stronger connection between the humans and turians. A political marriage is forced upon both sides, taking two of their best soldiers and tying them together. AU.

(No Reapers) A/U fic: Carpe Diem: Seize the day! This singular thought resonates through the mind of veteran N7 commander John Shepard when he chooses to break bad. Commandeering the prototype Cerberus stealth ship he was meant to destroy, the Ravishing rogue defects from the Alliance & starts living the hedonistic carefree lifestyle of a pirate. (Rated M for Smut/Violence/gore)

Thane worked alone for ages, so he isn't exactly used to having 'comrades.' But the aliens of the Normandy crew are at least becoming familiar enough that he can get a read on some of them. And Garrus is even better, having served on the SR-1. Except, when it comes to Shepard, the sniper seems to have a bit of a blind spot. Minor Spoilers for ME2

After the hard missions, Shepard always has her crew to lean on, and one person in particular. A collection of Shakarian moments throughout the series featuring all the Normandy crew, drinking, fighting, and other bonding. Some smut in later chapters.

A US Marine from 1945 is transported to an alternate future, the Mass Effect Universe. What happens as he lives through a different timeline filled with the products of an old Earth imagination? How would he deal being inserted in another war on a much more massive scale? How much would things change? Maybe the answer is this. Chapter 6: Blue Jeans

ON HIATUS - Executor Pallin has no love of humanity but he eventually makes an exception - set in ME1 and ME2 (and maybe ME3 eventually.)

2185 – Valni's sister,Vereen, is enjoying a blossoming friendship with a human named Ethan. When Ethan offers Vereen a foot rub, their friendship starts to develop into something more intimate.

Shepard explains Valentine's Day to Garrus. Femshep/Garrus

A turian, a krogan and a human; three Shadow Broker agents stationed in Nos Astra, Illium. They have been tasked with the location and acquisition of a certain data drive; simple enough, but things are never that boring in their line of work.

Vast AU. It wasn't the Systems Alliance that fought the First Contact War, but the Collective Earth Government. And that was enough to change things significantly.

A prothean artifact left Shepard being back to a child again and she wants her milk. Short little one-shot turned into story with extreme Shakarian fluff. Set in ME3. Reviews always welcome.

Garrus liked to think that his assignment on the Normandy wasn't just something that happened without reason. The spirits had aligned things the right way for him; just as his job at C-Sec ended, he made eye contact with a woman who looked like she knew exactly what she was doing. The most interesting thing about her that he noticed was, oddly enough, her red lips.

In which Shepard and Garrus attempt to take a vacation, thwart a hijacking, commandeer a security scooter, destroy most of a luxury liner, pick up a baby krogan, and have to explain themselves.

When Shepard is reunited with Garrus on Menae, it's a surprise either of them can focus on husks at all. They eventually get some time alone, and neither of them wants to wait another second before getting out of their armour. Mostly pwp.

A year after Shepard died defeating the Reapers, Garrus Vakarian is still mourning her. But when mysterious assassins begin attacking Normandy crew members who served under her, Garrus must face a new threat with his old teammates. Then he sees something during the mission that shouldn't be possible. Is he going crazy in his grief...or has Shepard yet again returned from the dead?

Fem-shep and Garrus again on the SR2. This time with a side story with Jack and Miranda. Lemony content. All characters owned by Bioware. Completed story.

We've all seen the stories where Shepard goes back in time. But what if it was everyone's favorite turian instead? Shakarian, ME1, Time-travel. COMPLETED. SEQUEL UP NOW.

Just a bit of crack to lighten the mood, individual summaries contained in chapters. Chapter 1 - Tali and Shepard get into an argument, Garrus intervenes. FShepxGarrus. Mild swearing.

It wasn't her physical appearance that convinced Archangel his dead commander was real. It was the insult. Set during the Archangel recruitment mission in ME2. Rated M for language. Bioware owns all/legal boilerplate blah blah blah.

Follow the events of the Mass Effect series through the eyes of engineer Jane Shepard, sister to Commander John Shepard, and Garrus Vakarian, John's best friend and comrade. How they come together, how they're torn apart, and how they help stop the Reapers from destroying the universe. Follow their journey, from the Normandy to the Citadel, and beyond.

And a Communications Specialist gets a call from C-SEC. Garrus Vakarian and Elshana Shepard are on shore leave on the Citadel, and there is absolutely no way that anything can possibly go wrong, no way they could get into any trouble, and definitely no reason for C-SEC to get involved.

Commander Shepard doesn't like turians, period. But will she be able to look past her prejudices and find an ally in Garrus Vakarian? ME1, slightly AU, Pre-Shakarian. Rated M for language.

Commander Shepard's decision to interfere with Garrus' revenge has unintended consequences. Will they able to salvage their friendship or will Shepard have to fight the Collectors without Vakarian? ME2

Once again, Garrus has started over at C-Sec, and once again, a new Commander Shepard has come across his argument with Pallin before meeting the Council. How many times does he have to go through this until he reaches the end-point(s)?

Some of the more interesting things the crew of the Normandy got up to between a suicide mission and saving the galaxy. The things history tries very hard not to associate with their heroes. Not necessarily from the same timeline.

Twelve years after the end of the war, Shepard is living a quiet, retired life, having put her past behind her. An encounter with an old friend makes her reconsider some choices and just might give both of them another chance at happiness. A story about friendship, love, and blending families. FemShep/Garrus, references to past FemShep/Kaidan and Garrus/OC.

AU where the turians are kept as pets and considered little more than smart animals. Spectre agent Shepard, by chance, uncovers the dark truth hidden by those in power and struggles to bring the truth to light. M for violence, language and mature situations.

When Garrus runs into a unidentified aphrodisiac, only one thing can help him. Garrus/everyone. Rated M for a reason.

It's a long road from "alien" to "partner."

Shepard finds herself reliving the last few years, from the beacon on Eden Prime to the battle on Earth. Again, and again, and again. How much can she change? How much should she change? M for language, occasional sexual situations.
