    Summary

    Confined to Earth after the Aratoht mission, Shepard faces political fallout while the Reapers begin their assault. Reunited with friends and allies, she races across the galaxy—gathering resources, confronting Cerberus, and fighting Reaper forces as the war closes in on every front. With Liara at her side, Shepard uncovers new abilities that even she doesn’t fully understand, and as Mordin works to explain them, she pushes herself to hold the galaxy together. But loss comes with a cost—and even the strongest can begin to break.

    Summary

    The twin commanders, John and Jane, were the pride of the Alliance, the first human spectres, and saviors of the Citadel. Until the Normandy is attacked by an unknown and far superior enemy. Commander John Shepard’s sacrificed ensured the safety of his crew.

    John’s twin, disillusioned in the loss of her brother, forsakes her alliance duty to continue what the Citadel refuses: Face the Reaper threat. Cerberus’ resurrection of her brother was just the final selling point.

    Now they must unite the galaxy to prepare for a threat that endangers all sentient life, or die trying. In order to do so, they first need to understand what it is they are up against.

    — A rewrite of ME2 and ME3 around the Dark Matter theory.

    Summary

    Zevin Raeka, 44th heir to the Erinle dalatrassate, is a scientist first—and a politician never, if she can help it. But salarian social convention has other ideas, and her inheritance demands public participation in what she considers little more respectable than professional mud wrestling. Cashing in favours from her old university rector, she escapes to a planet where it's twenty below on most days—but where science thrives, money flows like water, and politics 'isn’t even in the running.' Or so she thinks. What begins as a bureaucratic reassignment soon becomes a plunge into elite financial corruption so dense it bends light—a Kafkaesque event horizon of rigged tenders, shell corporations, and institutional rot, a cartel of elite-tier financial parasitism so vast it starts with a capital T. To stop it, she'll need the help of her elder brother, a barefaced turian con artist, an engineer who swears he isn't a politician, a sentient AI, an insect queen, a British spymaster, an asari magistrate with a taste for Gauloises, a Balkan hotelier with theological opinions on gambling, and the collected mathematical theories of Maupertuis, Hamilton, and Lagrange.

    Summary

    A routine mission. A distress call. A Council still blind to the coming storm.
    What begins as cleanup duty on the fringes of known space quickly turns into devastation as an unknown enemy tears the Normandy apart—and Shepard makes an impossible choice to save her crew.

    But even in the face of annihilation, one promise remains:
    “I’ll come for you. I always will.”

    Summary

    “What the hell was I thinking?”
    “I would guess that you were acting on instinct.”
    “Which is a really stupid idea.”
    “And why is that?”
    “After everything he's been through, Feron needs time to recover,” Shepard sighed.
    “What makes you think that you would hamper that recovery?” Thane countered.
    She raised an eyebrow. “Do I look like I know how to do things gently? I headbutted a krogan just last week...”

     

    Author's note:
    This is an edit of a story I wrote back in 2019, and was originally based on the Natalia Kills song of the same name. The timeline is from Liar of the Shadow Broker to the end of ME2, ME3 content is now contained in another fic. Apologies to those who have been waiting for this, I didn't intend to take so long to re-upload it!
    Please note, rude comments will not be published. If you don't like the content, understand this wasn't written for you and move on.

    Summary

    Jack spent all of her childhood in a small room, only taken out to get experimented on. She felt like the she was alone against the world. To this day, she struggled letting anyone near her. She didn't exactly know a kind touch. All people ever wanted, was to take advantage of her. Jack was so tired of it. She no longer had any reason to trust on anyone. Or rely on anyone. She felt like any real, meaningful relationship was just another dagger, two inches from her skin, and even the smallest thing would plunge that dagger into her. Who could blame her?

    Our story starts at Normandy. The collectors are still a looming threat. Jack has just gotten back from the Teltin facility. Shepard, Samara and Jack had taken a small preparation-esque detour, to blow up the old house of horrors. That didn't take away Jack's pain, though. And Samara is acutely aware of this..

    Summary

    A meandering collection of one shots based on ME2 and presented in no particular order. These oneshots capture unseen interactions between Shepard and the galaxy- the spaces in between.

    -- - -- - -- - -- - --

    If she had come out of grad school with anything, it was an affinity for intensive study. Shepard was as deserving a subject as anything she’d ever bothered with in a classroom.

    Most intimately, though, she knew her mind, her soul. The time they’d spent in the meld together had laid her bare- and Liara, who had perhaps not considered herself a romantic before, found her radiant.
