Summary
Her hand brushed gently against his mangled face. He was just starting to regain feeling in it. He shivered in anticipation. Her touch was so gentle.
He bent forward and pressed his forehead to hers. She anticipated his move and stretched up to meet him on the very tips of her toes.
“You did some research too, huh?” He asked her quietly.
“A little,” she said. “I’m nervous too. You’re my best friend, Garrus. But… you’re also my best friend.”
“Not sure I follow your logic there, Shepard.”

Noah Shepard vs. The Universe by la_haine_pacifique
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
08 Jul 2023
Summary
A series centering around the life and times of Noah Shepard, adopted daughter of David Anderson. Noah's backstory borrows some from Jack's, because I love making Cerberus even worse than they already are.
This is a side project, please don't expect frequent updates.

Summary
Commander Alison Jane (AJ) Shepard has lived through more than most: the batarian raid on Mindoir, the slaughter on Akuze, and the ruthless campaign at Torfan. Now, as the galaxy teeters on the edge of annihilation, she faces not only the Reapers but the weight of her past and the choices that threaten to unmake her. This story is a novelization of Mass Effect, following Shepard’s journey through familiar missions, dialogue, and relationships as seen in the game.
As the weight of her decisions threatens to crush her, Shepard is forced to confront the pieces of herself she thought she’d buried. When she finds a shy, innocent, asari maiden trapped in a stasis bubble surrounded by prothean ruins, she finds herself opening up to someone. Balancing the tension of galactic war with fleeting moments of tenderness, Shepard must navigate the fine line between duty and desire, her past and her future. Along the way, old wounds resurface, friendships deepen, and love grows in the unlikeliest of places. But even in the darkest moments, there’s room for humor, hope, and the stubborn defiance that makes Shepard who she is. It is a story of survival, healing, and the relationships that keep us fighting—against all odds.

Summary
She reaches for her braid to play with it. A nervous habit she’s never quite been able to quit. The turian reaches at the same time, though, and their hands meet. The moment she feels his calloused fingers brush against hers, she knows it’s over. She knows she needs to leave with him. She needs to know how the rest of him feels.
The dilated look in his eyes reflects her own musings.
“Ditch your friends,” she says, voice low.
Novella is walking away before the turian even has a chance to react. If he hadn’t intended for the conversation to go in this direction, then she doesn’t want to be facing him for the rejection. She’d rather wait and realise on her own that he won’t be meeting her. She puts some distance between her and the bar. Tries not to pay attention to just how long she’s been waiting.
Soon enough, there’s a three-fingered hand on her shoulder, heavy and warm. She turns to see that piercing blue gaze set on her. His mandibles are fluttering again. “Your place or mine?”

Summary
Shepard had had a tough life. She found some good friends and has made some annoying enemies. Her life is complicated but enjoyable. Routine mission after mission, working up the N ranks. Her most recent mission to Akuze seems routine, and she even met a cute turian before she shipped out. Looking forward to meeting up with him after her mission, Shepard heads out, not knowing how this one mission will shape her future with the Alliance. Her best friend, Toombs, seems excited to work with her again. “At least the planet has a cool name. Akuze. Definitely sounds like something I could get tattooed on me once we get back. Maybe come up with a cool story about how I won a fight there."

Summary
The mission to Akuze should've been simple, but once they arrived, Amber Shepard had the misfortune to watch Thresher Maws slaughter her comrades. Just as she was on the brink of death, she found herself under the care of Saren Arterius. If she wants to get back home, they'll have to form a bond of trust.
If this bond of trust can help with diplomacy between the humans and the Council races, then this bond of trust can also help them stand together when strange events show up to test the fate of the galaxy.

After the Storm by MyFuzzyScarf

Summary
Garrus and Shepard never talked about what would happen between them if they survived the Collector Base. And yet here they find themselves, alive and rather unsure of how to proceed.
Against the backdrop of the DLC content of Mass Effect 2, Garrus Vakarian and Andrea Shepard attempt to plan for a future they never thought they'd see, even while haunted by the pasts they'd tried to leave behind.
So much stands in the way: rank, duty, family, and more than a few scars. What chance does this casual cross-species liaison have in the face of such opposition?
(This is a sequel to "Practice," but can be read as a stand-alone.)

Summary
In the aftermath of the war, the crew of the Normandy struggle to comprehend the loss of their commanding officer. Major Kaidan Alenko is thrust into a role he is not ready for, and he has to do it while mourning the woman he loves.
Fast forward six weeks, Commander Faith Shepard is found alive but drastically changed, with significant memory loss that erases her recollection of the Reapers and other critical events. There's no logical explanation for her survival, hinting at something more sinister.
The crew have to come to terms that Shepard is alive, but doesn't remember their shared history.
Pairing is Shenko, with a little diversion here and there. They're my ♥ what can I say? I just love tormenting them.
This Main Trilogy is Now Complete.
