Mass Effect: Convergence by Moose_Mann, ThaliaofCarim

Summary
A year after the Archon’s death at the hands of Pathfinder Ryder in 2819, the Kett Empire began sending more forces towards the Heleus Cluster. They especially took a deep interest in the Milky Way species that came aboard the Andromeda Initiative.
As the black hole at the center of the Heleus Cluster started behaving erratically from contact with the Scourge, the Nexus started picking up transmissions from hundreds of years prior over in the Milky Way. This new discovery meant a possible link between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies via this black hole, a time travel phenomenon thought impossible.
With the intrepid crew of the Tempest planning their route through the black hole, the state of the Milky Way on the other side is that of reconstruction from the Reaper War having ended months prior. The Crucible having destroyed the Reapers yet preserving synthetic life had made Commander Shepard a legend to most.
This is where the road for Commander Shepard and Pathfinder Ryder converges…

Oath of loyalty by etherealend

Summary
Loyalty: a notion that had always gravitated around Garrus’ life.
“I am loyal to him, as he is loyal to me. And isn’t this the greatest form of love?” Her mother, as the good turian she was, used to say with regard to Castis.
Loyalty. During childhood, boot camp, military service. Loyalty: a virtue every turian was supposed to possess from birth, to the Hierarchy, first and foremost.
Garrus had always, secretly, disagreed. It was something to be earned.
And with her, such had been.
Commander Shepard had secured his deepest loyalty, and only when he saw her for the last time, before the Normandy SR-1 was taken down, did he understand how right his mother was. -

The Weight of Survival by Plumppig

Tags
Summary
The Weight of Survival begins in the aftermath of the Reaper War, when the Normandy crash-lands following the detonation of the Crucible. Commander Jane Shepard, gravely wounded and presumed dead, disappears in the chaos. What follows is a sweeping, character-driven narrative of grief, survival, and the fragile hope of rebuilding, not only for Shepard, but for her crew, her family, and the galaxy itself.
At its heart, the story explores Shepard’s struggle to reclaim her identity after immense sacrifice, while grappling with her pregnancy—made possible through Leviathan-altered biology and the crushing symbolic weight placed on her by allies and leaders alike.
