    Summary

    She's the Alliance's best spy and secret weapon. He's the one of the Council's newest Spectres and ex-Blackwatch operative. And if they don't manage to cause the next intergalactic incident from this assignment, they should both be showered in accolades from the Council.

    But intergalactic cooperation is never that simple, is it?

    Steamy, poignant, and full of action, this fic explores the darker and more complex version of female Shepard in a spy AU, and the space boyfriend we all know and love.

    This is my first fic, but I've been dreaming of a spy thriller in the Mass Effect world for SO long. Can't wait to share this version of our reluctant, redheaded hero with you <3 . Updates to come probably multiple times a week, if not weekly!

    Summary

    The name Jade Shepard was well known all over the Alliance navy. But even more known than her name, was the death that followed her footsteps.

    She was an orphan who enlisted on the 11th of April, 2172, the day of her eighteenth birthday in the Cairo office without even enough credits to buy herself a ride on the bus leading to the enlistment office. She had come walking instead, all throughout the scorching summer heat that would keep most of the streets in the afternoon. She turned out to be a young colonist who had been separated from family, friends and home planet two years prior. Eleven years after enlisting, she becomes a legend.

    Summary

    In the year 2170, settlements on the colony planet of Mindoir, on the fringes of the Attican Traverse, were raided by batarian slavers, resulting in hundreds of civilians being killed, taken as slaves, or left missing, their fate unknown. Shepard had been sixteen at the time of the raid, and one of the few who had escaped with his life. Mindoir had been rebuilt following the raid, but Shepard had never returned, he had never returned to the place he had once called home, the place where his parents' names were memorialised, until today - eighteen years later.

    Summary

    Every day since the raid on Mindoir, the Alliance has failed Rie Shepard. She's been thrown from broken system to broken system with no hope of standing on her own two feet, red tape dragging her along like a marionette. It's only a matter of time before she manages to snag a pair of scissors...

    As interesting a concept the Reapers are, they really tend to pigeonhole the direction of the story, dont they? Well, I've decided to say "fuck all that" and write my own version of what would happen if that little star fucker never existed. Depending on how invested I get in to this AU, I may start to go in to the Protheans a bit more. But that'll be waaaaay off. Until then, expect this to mainly stick to the drama of the Batarian Hegemony, gangs, politics, and later on Cerberus.

    There are QUITE a few tags so I dont blame you for skipping them, but they will likely grow in number as I continue to write. If you all have suggestions, dont be afraid to leave a comment. A writer is only as good as her audience is responsive.

    Enjoy!

    Summary

    Shepard was dead. Nothing would change Shepard dying, but... what if project Lazarus needed some outside help.

    What if, when Shepard was rebuilt, she wasn't entirely human?

    Summary

    Lt. Commander Amelia Shepard has survived many ordeals, and now she is in command of the Normandy and unexpectedly falls in love with Kaidan Alenko.

    This work takes place during the events of Mass Effect .

    Colonist
    Survivor
    Paragon
    Adept

    I guess you can call this my head canon. Just gotta get it out of my head...not sure precisely where it's going...but here you go.

    12/18/21 *NOTE* This went in a direction that I was completely not happy with, so, after much self debate, I have deleted some chapters and will be redoing them. I just felt that I got away from the essence of Kaidan and Amelia and their relationship.

    Summary

    CW/TW: Mindoir Colonist background, references to child abuse, Stockholm Syndrome, death, suicide

    My take on how Kiera would respond to the "I Remember Me" quest in ME1.

    "Who says I'm not broken? I've lived through hell twice over, but I choose every day to pick myself up and put myself together, shard by shard."

    Summary

    She remembers a lot of things. The gold fields of grain, the smell of broken stalks in the harvest...
    The smoke and footsteps of alien feet, the blood that filled her nostrils...

    Thirteen years ago, Batarian Slavers attacked the human farming colony of Mindoir. Those who weren't killed were fitted with crude cranial implants used to control forced labor. Shepard survived that horror. She's forced to confront old memories when another survivor turns up on the Citadel.

    Follows the "I Remember Me" mission exclusive to the Colonist background.

    Summary

    Shepard left her family behind on Mindoir. Really, she did. Any memories resurfaced or people reminding her of them are purely coincidental. She is the model picture of mental health! A beacon of a soldier for the alliance!

    If only that whole dance and song worked on Liara.

    Summary

    “Commander Shepard? Are you commander Shepard?”
    “Yes I am.” She squared her shoulders automatically, voice changing to the professional tone she used when giving or receiving orders. “Is there something I can do for you?”
    The officer moved as if a weight had been taken of his back as he saluted her. “We uh- got a report that you were on the Citadel but I didn’t- no not the point.” He shook his head, “There’s an altercation in the bays that could um… use your assistance.”
    “What kind of altercation? I need details.” She could feel Garrus’ attention fully on her, the other Turian now completely forgotten.
    “Yes ma’am, its Lieutenant Girardin the docking bays ma’am. There’s a woman there, um- she was rescued from Batarian slavers a few weeks ago.” The next words were rushed out in a single breath, “She's from Mindoir. I guess she was taken in the raid on your hometown. From what we can gather anyway that seems to be the place.”
    “Which bay.”
    (A retelling of the the Colonist Background quest with the survivor Talitha, now with a Garrus moment before hand)

    Summary

    After ME3, in which Shepard survives, because fuck it, Garrus and Ari Shepard (gender-fluid born-female Shepard because shameless author-inserts are great, the best, amazing) settle down and the crew of the Normandy all get places on the Citadel because I'm optimistic and love fluff. Here's what happens when Shepard gets pregnant with Garrus's eggs because fuck it.

    "Alright, Kaiden you get cribs, at least three. Jack, you need to get blankets, the softest ever. Liara, get chocolate, Shepard will need those later in the pregnancy. Miranda, ten baby-name books, just in case they haven't already decided on names. Joker, I'm expecting you to pick all of us up. I'm picking up child-appropriate toys, Vakarian probably wouldn't be very appreciative if I gave their new-hatchlings a sniper."
    "...Wrex, since when did you become an expert on this stuff?"
