Summary
Chance Effect will span the events of the Mass Effect Trilogy, and possibly beyond. It's presented with the assumption that the reader is familiar with the major characters and plot points of the Mass Effect Trilogy.
Story is mostly canon compliant (with minor fix-its), with many scenes and dialogue exchanges pulled straight from the game. Original scenes and storylines are contextualized with canon missions and world events.
Chapters will explore crew dynamic between plot points and fleshed out side-missions to enhance the Chance Effect narrative.
And finally- and most importantly- there's no Shepard without Vakarian.

Summary
Commander Eden Shepard has been fighting the same fight for a while now. Too long, even. Time skips forward at random intervals, leaving her with more questions than answers. With her memories in a mess, she relies on Garrus to keep her grounded. Battling for the right to control her own life, Shepard races against time and the darkness raging inside her to find a way to stop the Reapers. Will she be able to save the galaxy, and herself, before it's too late?
Lots of fluff, angst, and sex. And plot.
Story is mostly canon-compliant, except for when it's not. Most of it takes place between missions. Enough steamy, explicit scenes to indulge your Shakarian pleasures.

Summary
When Shepard wakes after the Crucible's blast, she’s a shadow of the Commander who saved the galaxy. Her body is broken. Her past is blurred. The people who love her most are strangers to her heart.
But Garrus and Kaidan have never been the type to give up, and neither have the Normandy crew that once followed her through hell and back. As the galaxy rebuilds, so too does something softer: trust, belonging, and the quiet possibility of love reborn.
“Lazarus ReRising” is about more than Shepard’s survival; it’s about what she chooses to do with the life she never expected to have.

Summary
Garrus didn’t mean to snoop, he was just trying to clean. But beneath Shepard’s chaotic clutter, he uncovers a crate full of Black Sabbath holochips and memories that roar with the pulse of metal and the ghost of the Prince of Darkness. Set against timeless riffs, this standalone weaves old memories and new moments, held together by the fierce, feral love binding Shepard, Kaidan, and Garrus.

This one was soooo good. I'm not much of a metalhead (I like certain songs I've just never gotten into the scene) but this was excellent. 10/10 recommend. :)

Summary
Do you enjoy canon-based worldbuilding, character-driven arcs, and snappy dialogue? Are you into maximum drama? Hilarious hijinks? How about fresh takes on familiar storylines?
Most importantly- Do you prefer your Shakarian romance to be bursting at the seams with sexual tension before they finally screw each others' brains out?
If your answer is yes to any of these things, then Chance Effect might just be the fic for you. Pull up a chair. Suss the vibe. Stay awhile.
Then buckle up and hold on tight for a wild and crazy ride!

Summary
A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games - including eventually into Andromeda. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!
Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.
**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** See individual works for specifics.
**BioWare owns the games and the characters (minus a couple smalls OCs), I'm just reveling in the love they gave us**

Summary
Commander Shepard and Garrus Vakarian's chance meeting and joint investigation take them across the galaxy, and change their lives forever.
Excerpt from Chapter 4; Almost Ghosts
Garrus didn’t sleep- he was still too wired- but it felt good to rest by himself for a moment. He tried to direct his thoughts to Haliat and a plan of action to take back the mako, but he couldn't concentrate. He tried to think about Saren, or about the Normandy. He even tried to focus on the ridiculous laughing fit he’d witnessed earlier that day, and Ashley’s embarrassment over her human bodily functions.
He was distracted even as the sun finally set. They executed Shepard’s plan flawlessly- they reclaimed the mako, killed Haliat and his mercs, and successfully signaled the Normandy for pick up. He should be focused on the victory of a job well done. But no matter what else was happening around him, one question just kept bludgeoning its way to the forefront of his mind for the rest of the day, and for many days afterward:
What happened to Shepard on Elysium?
