Summary
When the Normandy SR-1 is destroyed above Alchera, Commander Ashton Shepard is presumed dead—his body missing, his signal lost. But for Justin Cavanaugh-Shepard, brother by bond and rhythm, silence is not an ending. It’s a call.
As the Black Dragons rescue the survivors and piece together the wreckage, Justin begins composing a song—a vow, a ritual, a transmission. With Echo Pup at his side and Karma Martins tuning the soundboard, he transforms grief into melody, memory into legacy.
Told through dream fragments, ensemble rituals, and the quiet collapse of those left behind, Signal Lost, Never Gone is a story of found family, biotic bonds, and the music we make when survival isn’t enough. It’s a love letter to those who vanish in fire—and those who refuse to forget.
Quote from Kaidan Alenko
"He said he’d be right behind me. I believed him. I still do. Some part of him never left that ship—and some part of me never left him."Quote from Justin Cavanaugh-Shepard
"I didn’t write the song to say goodbye. I wrote it so the stars would remember. So I wouldn’t be the only one still listening."- Language:

Summary
Шепард скользит невидящим взглядом по буквам, складывающимся в название корабля, заменившего ему дом. Сжимая в руке последний из жетонов, принадлежащих погибшей команде, он чувствует, как тяжелеют веки. Когда ты подписался на суицидальную миссию, можно не успеть сделать важные вещи. Он не хотел этого. Но никак не мог повлиять на обстоятельства.

Summary
singularity (n.)
1. the state, fact, or quality of being singular.
2. a singular, unusual, or unique quality; peculiarity.
3. Mathematics. singular point.
4. Astronomy. (in general relativity) the mathematical representation of a black hole.
5. a hypothetical moment in time when artificial intelligence and other technologies have become so advanced that humanity undergoes a dramatic and irreversible change.The adventures of Lieutenant Commander Elizabeth Shepard, autistic/neurodivergent biotic, and reluctant heroine as she finds herself being assigned to the position of Executive Officer of the SSV Normandy SR-1 during its shakedown cruise and beyond. This is not quite a novelization of the Mass Effect trilogy since my focus is not on retelling everything verbatim, but with a focus on the moments between missions and moments which are significantly changed from the games either due to the actions of the characters or through fixing things that the author feels need fixing.

Summary
It was clear Cerberus gave no thought to how asphyxiating out in the black might affect a person. The SR-2 had way more windows than the original ship, one of which they’d installed directly over her bed. She hadn’t noticed it on her original walkthrough. It wasn’t until bedtime, when, exhausted beyond belief, she laid herself down and instead of rest, found herself facing the void. The panic that rose in her, the belief she couldn’t breathe, the weight on her chest, her empty lungs, the numbness that crawled up her extremities - a panic attack felt an awful lot like her experience with dying.

Summary
More than two years after falling in love on the Normandy, Shepard and Kaidan are thrown together once again when the Reapers attack Earth. They both still care for each other, but there's stubborn old wounds and trust issues on both sides that are slow to heal. As Shepard tries to come to terms with her death and subsequent resurrection at the hands of Cerberus, Kaidan looks for assurances that Shepard is still the woman he fell in love with.
Set against the backdrop of the Reaper war, Kaidan and Shepard must both learn how to trust each other again as they navigate falling in love for a second time, all while saving the galaxy— also for a second time, because some things never change.
