Summary
An Operative from an unknown species is researching places on Earth that are known for strange occurrences in 2025.
Her mission is to find Prothean technology to help her people build weapons to defeat, or protect against, the reapers.
As she scans an area she was ordered to look into, one that she wasn't expecting to find anything at, she finds something. When she touches it accidentally, she is flung into 2183 onto Eden Prime, and crashes hard, from the sky, into something or someone.
Now she needs to keep herself alive against her own people who think she abandoned her mission as well as help save the galaxy when she discovers the reaper threat is now here.

Summary
It was supposed to be easy. Find Solas, stop his insane ritual, and be home in time for Wicked Grace. Now Rook’s got an arrogant god stuck in his head and two twisted elven gods on the loose. At least he’s got some backup from the Milky Way coming. Which is good because he has no idea what he’s doing at this point.
“What happened?” Harding yelled over the sound of the magical energy pulsating.
“The bastard broke Bianca!”
“Varric’s crossbow?” Neve asked as she froze the last of the wraiths nearby, giving the three of them a momentary respite. ”So what? We need to stop the ritual before the world is ruined!”
Rook frowned. “Damn the world! Solas murdered Bianca! He just made it personal.”Series

Summary
When Joker falls in love with Shepard and Kaidan, he falls fast and with his whole heart. But they’re busy saving the galaxy and falling for each other, and that doesn’t leave much room for a third, love-sick wheel. And that’s okay. That’s the world as it should be. Joker’s as much realist as he is romantic.
But then everything falls apart. War rewrites the rules. Blurs the line between duty and desire. And Joker finds himself caught in something messy, tender and unapologetically spicy, and so much more than he ever expected to have.
*
A love story filled with snark and feelings, and a duo becoming a trio. Also, taking liberties with canon out of a deep commitment to keeping it horny.

Summary
Rayne Shepard dreamed of leaving Earth for good. As a kid, she thought she could be a hero amongst the stars. In some ways, the little kid was right, but being a hero wasn't all sunshine and roses. Sometimes it meant living with things too heavy to carry alone.
Liara T'Soni had a peaceful life doing exactly what she wanted to do as a young asari maiden. As fate would have it, her luck changed completely when the geth attacked, and she was rescued by a young Alliance commander and her crew.

Summary
Isabel Shepard is on house arrest while being tried for war crimes. Kaidan Alenko is preparing to testify on her behalf. Turns out that when you love someone – and you've taken on saving the world together – it takes a lot more than escaping death, Collectors, Cerberus, Reapers, and a court martial to get them off your mind.
Let's call this a novelization, told through the memories of two people who really, really miss each other. Canon compliant until it makes more sense not to be.

Summary
Taking place midway through the events of Mass Effect 2, Shepard is captured by the Collectors shortly after the events on Horizon. Although saved by his team, he has been experimented on to very visible effect, albeit unknown ends. It soon becomes obvious that the consequences of the Collectors' meddling are greater than any of the crew had imagined. A group of women--admirers, friends and comrades--do their best to help him, but strange events portend that all they do is by design.
A very plot-heavy story. Ultimately meant to be feel-good and happy, but there are hints of something more sinister underneath.
A spiritual successor to the story "An Awkward Request," previously hosted on HF but long-since deleted.
