Summary
It's been two years since the legendary Commander Shepard destroyed the Reapers and saved the galaxy from total annihilation, but the galaxy is still in turmoil. A shadowy organisation manipulates galaxy-impacting events from the background, whilst stars are dying well before they should, and numerous militant splinter groups and rebellions fight again the weakened states that fought the Reapers.
However, not all is lost. A handful of ordinary people rise to fight the growing tide of discord. Whilst they may not be qualified, or even capable, their efforts may give hope to the galaxy, and could even create a lasting peace.
[This is a post-canon story, following a group of both OCs and beloved characters, that aims to tie up the loose 'Dark Energy' plotline that was never resolved]

Summary
Thirty years since first contact. Thirty years of war between the turians and the humans. Shanxi, a human fringe colony in the Traverse, has been the epicenter of the fighting. And humans are in the eleventh hour, about to lose not only their colonies, but their way of life. The only hope they have left is a Prothean beacon found hidden beneath labs-- a beacon which could, if given to the salarians, turn the tide of the war. The problem is: the turians want it just as badly.
Commander Roni Shepard wears her uniform more comfortably than her own skin. But a traumatic injury from the batarians, a client race to the Hierarchy, has left her unsure of everything she used to be secure in.
Lieutenant-Commander Garrus Vakarian thinks outside of the box, much to the chagrin of his commanding officers, his father, and the very establishment he fights for. When he uncovers a dark secret embedded deep within his own military, he holds on to the hope that others can put a stop to it, even if it destroys everything.
When both of them are tasked with securing the Prothean beacon, their lives will intertwine, and everything they thought they knew flies out the window when a mysterious ship also comes to collect.

"In the quiet moments between battles, he would catch himself going into those forbidden if-onlys. If only they hadn't been on opposite sides of a conflict that seemed to grow more insurmountable with each passing year. If only he could forget the feel of her skin, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes would light up when she spoke about her blue skies.
But he couldn't forget, just as he could never see her again. He had no choice but to press on, because that's what a good turian would do. And he clung to the hope that somehow, someday, he might find his way back to that turian…"

Summary
How a orphan from the slums of earth came from nothing to become a defender of everything. Logan John Shepard rose from the slums of Earth and became the First human Spectre. Will follow his time before the Alliance and maybe a bit afterwards
Just because someone is a good guy does not mean they are a nice guy. Cold, calculating and brutal. Logan follows his own code which is "The punishment must fit the crime". The only question is the galaxy ready for a human Spectre with his own form of brutal justice?
Later tags to be added, I don't want to give too much away. If you are after Pure smut look elsewhere, while this does have sex scenes in it, it is not the main basis of the story. The rating is what it is as I don't want to get into trouble for some of the war scenes

Summary
They call it the Great Filter. Civilizations rise, they discover the miracle of Element Zero, and they unknowingly accelerate the decay of their own suns. The Reapers aren't just destroyers; they are the firebreak, arriving to harvest advanced life before it burns the universe down to the last star.
For Shepard, the invasion manifests as more than just a war—it is a physical agony. The sky over Earth has turned violet, gravity is unspooling, and his Vanguard abilities are no longer a weapon, but a liability. In an atmosphere thick with dark energy, every Biotic Charge risks tearing a hole in reality and burning him out from the inside.
Shepard can’t charge his way out of the heat death of the universe.Reunited with Kaidan Alenko, Shepard finds that their biotic resonance is the only thing capable of quieting the static screaming in his blood. Together, they must convince a fractured galaxy that the Reapers are merely a symptom of a much larger disease—and find a way to fix the sky before the lights go out forever.
The Dark Energy Ending rewrite.
Vanguard!Shepard, Sentinel!Kaidan, Biotic Resonance, Dark Energy Lore, Entropy, and mShenko romance as the center of gravity.
