Summary
Four years after the Reaper War, and the galaxy is slowly, but finally, healing her wounds. Most of the debris is cleared out, and the mass relays are repaired, facilitating travel around the galaxy once more. Garrus Vakarian has become a Spectre, and while he still thinks that Commander Shepard is alive out there, somewhere, it’s getting harder to believe with each passing year. But the galaxy seems to love to make fun of him in thirds: on his third visit to Earth, he discovers Shepard’s third life. As part of a newly-founded arms manufacturing company, suspected of having ties to a major Earth crime syndicate.
He’s never been good with gray.
Four years after firing off the Crucible, Shepard is right back where she started: one of the gangs of her youth. She’s never liked feeling alone and powerless, and when she woke up after a months-long coma in those exact circumstances, well, she went right back to the one familiar thing she had left. Except now it’s become the biggest crime syndicate in the United North American States after the war. And now she wants out.
But when it comes to Shepard, it seems like the universe loves to make things harder than necessary.

Mesa Prime, a Tenno operative investigating strange Corpus activity on Venus finds herself flung into a new world and into the path of one Commander John Shepard. Marine, N7, and the first Human Spectre. Together they must unravel the mystery of how she got to this different universe while also chasing down a rogue agent striving to bring forth the return of an ancient evil.

Summary
Shepard is a force of nature, no matter the version. This one, however, is also a renegade bag of dicks. I want my preferred ending, damn it, even if I have to beg, bribe, and blackmail to make him even consider a paragon course of action.
Oh, God no, I've become his Jiminy Cricket, haven't I?
A first-person retelling of the games, with some divergence, and a romance with a renegade Shepard.

This is a what if.
What if John Shepard resurrection went wrong?
What if he was brought back in someone else's body?
What if the road to inner peace is rocky, painful and leaves you scarred?
What if he had siblings?
What if said siblings now hunt him across the galaxy?Shakarian is the end game, but it's not all rainbows and puppies all along.
Cannon is being played loose with. I treat it more like a set of guidelines.

Summary
No decorum. No morals. No inhibitions.
Commander Victoria 'Vikky' Shepard has never, will never, and could never be described as selfless by those who truly know about her. The less of things and people she cares about is low. There's far more to her than the public image.
Vikky gets what she wants.
Always.

How will she balance the demands of the Alliance on Commander Shepard and the expectations of humanity that carries vs her Quarian adoptive family, which has been her only family since she could remember?

Summary
Here in the light those eyes of his look real, staring Jacob down like a railgun locked on a target. Jacob’s never been much for religion or spent much time thinking about an afterlife.

And if you can ever get it back.
The twists and turns of ME2, through the eyes of everyone but Commander Shepard.

This is a rewrite of Mass Effect 2. In my first fic, Veni, I introduced several new original characters and put a twist on multiple storylines. Reading Veni first isn't necessary per se, but I do still reccomend it to provide background context. I have done my best to put my own spin on things, expanding minor characters and plot lines.

Summary
She’d stopped the Reapers. The citadel was destroyed. No rebuilding. In their last efforts to kill Shepard, in a big, blinding flash of light, they sent her elsewhere. Now, a hundred years in the past, in a different universe, with gods, heroes, villains, and a certain red-helmet wearing vigilante, Shepard navigates through the unfamiliar territory. The past catching up to her.
Would they accept her if they knew the truth? What she was? What she’d done?

Summary
Следы на песке под синим небом сотрутся ветром пару минут спустя. Так и от нас, наших миров и историй однажды не останется ничего – у Вселенной для этого достаточно времени. AU, в котором человечество развилось на цикл раньше и вышло в космос во времена деспотичной Протеанской Империи.
В каноне Явик говорил, что его циклу не хватило объединителя. Не хватило Шепард. Что ж, вот она. Шепард ненавидит политику Империи. Империя ненавидит Шепард. Жнецы идут. -

Summary
In most universes, the Gates opened in low orbit above Pluto, others to their equivalent, leading to a shared dimension connecting all of them together. For the worst, as it would seem, as the Imperium of Man uses this new beachhead to launch invasions into every sci-fi and fantasy universe one could imagine.
Welcome to the Janus Chronicles. Where we will explore ever possibility that comes with this premise. And if you have any suggestions on what crossover event should happen, or what characters should meet, please let me know, and I will see if I can incorporate your idea into the story.

Summary
Through Aria’s network of secrets and debts, Shepard finds herself face-to-face with an unlikely ally, one she should have left buried with the rest of her past. It’s a setup. It has to be. But curiosity’s a dangerous thing, and some questions don’t stay dead.

Summary
Jane Shepard survives the gutters of a post‑Contact Earth until a flare of emerging biotics pulls her into a Council‑funded research institute on the Citadel. There she meets Spectre Saren Arterius, the turian legend whose stalled hunt for Dr. Qian’s Prothean relic drives him to other means of staunching humanity's advancement: guardianship of the human prodigy. Through shrewd persuasion, he takes on the orphan as his ward, intent on shaping her into a model Spectre for Council display, even as he grips the unseen reins in his talons.
Saren turns her childhood days into field drills, war‑room simulations, and lessons in diplomatic knife‑work. He controls nearly every aspect of her life, leaving Shepard one private refuge: a risky friendship with hot‑headed cadet Garrus Vakarian — until her almost-father severs that, too. Learning what it means to be a person proves harder than functioning as a tool, yet Shepard can't help but to question her identity. When the long‑silent Reapers finally stir, Shepard must decide whether she is Saren’s instrument, the Alliance’s champion, or something forged in the tight space between obedience and revolt. The galaxy’s stance — kneeling or standing — will turn on her choice.

Summary
The story is part of my Mass Effect series called Shadows of the Corrupt. It follows a mission where Kaidan and Shepard gradually grow closer — and eventually get together — in a fun and lighthearted way.
This is my first time writing spice — the sex scene comes in chapter two. I hope you enjoy it! Translating it was definitely a challengeThis story takes place before the events of the first story in the series.
Liara smiled. “I don’t see why that should be a problem.”
“You underestimate how little I attend social events.”
Joker laughed. “Shepard at a gala, smiling and flirting—I need to see that.”
Shepard sighed, then glanced at Kaidan. “Fine. If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right. But let me be clear: I’m approaching this professionally.”
Kaidan smirked. “Professionally holding hands?”
“Just stop talking.”Series
