Summary
It had been brief and direct... but he had read and replied to her message, confirming that he would meet with her.
As much as Lorelei wishes that this would remain strictly professional, regardless of the tension since their last encounter, she has a duty that she must uphold as the Pathfinder - even if that means clearing out the Vault with the Charlatan at her side.
Yet she slowly realizes that Reyes Vidal had other reasons for accompanying her...

Extremis Infinitum. by NikkiDeez

Summary
They called her “Death” in the Milky Way. In Andromeda, she might become something worse—or a symbol of hope. Mya Rodríguez: biotic weapon, ex-Corsair, former merc. She never meant to lead. But when a Roekaar zealot threatens war across Heleus, she's forced to take command of an APEX strike team. At her side: Xevan "Xev" Dal Jerarv, a guarded Angaran Heskaarl with too many ghosts. Together, they’re pulled into a shadow war of stolen genetics, Kett hive-link experiments, and the weaponization of memory itself. As Mya’s power mutates beyond known biotics, she must face what the Milky Way made her—and decide if she can become something more.
This fic explores Angaran history, culture, and resistance politics. Themes include biotic trauma, hybrid warfare, uneasy alliances, and fragile hope in unexpected bonds. Slow-burn OC x Angaran romance, character-driven arcs, and deep lore for fans of high-stakes Mass Effect drama.
Rated explicit for sex, extreme violence, and psychological content.
I welcome any helpful comments or observations about the story, characters, etc! 😊

As it says in the tags, I did in fact take a lot of liberties with this story. Basically just took one of my favourite ships and stuck them in places I wish we could have seen them!

Summary
Kara Ryder wakes in a whole new galaxy after 600 years of cryosleep. She signed up for exploration and discovery, trying to keep her brother out of trouble while trying not to clash too much with her father.
That would've been one hell of a lot simpler than how things actually turn out.
Kara never wanted to lead, never wanted to be the Pathfinder, but when that responsibility is thrust upon her, she does her best to make the best of it. Finding a home for the Milky Way species, fostering relationships both political and personal with the native angara, and battling kett while trying to untangle the mystery of the Remnant technology is a tall order, but someone has to do it. And if it has to be her, then Kara is going to do things her way - no matter what anyone else says.

Summary
He's is dangerous, Ryder knows this. He's lied to her, Ryder knows this. He's irresistible, Ryder knows this far too well...
The Charlatan and the Pathfinder have an undeniable attraction, the type that renders a selfish, reckless passion in a person. The type that forces both of them into a tug of war between their desire and their responsibilities. The type that leads to blood and betrayal and a grief-stricken turian out for vengeance...
NOTE: Smut, slow-burn building of plot and relationships, but a lot of heart too. -
Alive, You are My Undoing by BirchSpine

Summary
All things considered, it was a pretty cute, sort of pathetic sight in its own right. The galaxy’s Pathfinder, the one single-handedly spearheading the Initiative, in all her glory, reduced to this fumbling mess, too scared to admit she needed company, too stubborn to be honest. And damn, did it remind Peebee of herself.
-----------
Peebee is up late thinking, turns out Ryder is too. Death is weird, talking and not talking makes it better. Post-Archon Ship mission, Pre-confession one shot. A bit of angst and fluff.
