    Summary

    Shepard knew that first shakedown run on the Normandy felt like it was going to be more than she'd signed up for, but when she finds herself encountering an ancient alien relic and barely saving her prospective Spectre mentor from a deadly betrayal, how will the course of her future change?

    This is my Mass Effect: What If?

    What if Nihlus survived Eden Prime? What would change? At first, it might not seem like much at all...

    Summary

    a series in which shakarios happens. focused on comedy and fluff, because there's enough angst and tension elsewhere for these characters. main stories are UNINTENDED AURALISM, then UNINTENDED SECRECY, and finally, UNINTENDED APOTHEOSIS, the me3 rewrite/fix-it with 100% guaranteed thane survival rate.

    all others are side stories ordered chronologically in the loose timeline of this established mess of fluff, (so please subscribe for new stories since they're not always at the bottom!), and all are canon to this specific timeline/universe divergence. vaguely open to premise requests for side stories.

    Summary

    Shepard grips the barrier rail, still looking straight ahead. “These people are tired. Tired people make mistakes. And…it only takes one.”

    Something catches in her voice. It’s brief, another one of the things he might not have noticed in the beginning.

    Oh.

    Kaidan wonders if the maws on Akuze attacked at night. If she’d waited for the inevitable in the dark just like they are now…and who had been tired enough to make the mistake.

    I'm going to get Earth back, I'm going to destroy these goddamned machines, and I'm going to kick Cerberus in the ass. I'm going to set things right, in the galaxy, with the Council, with all of the species, with Kaidan.
