Summary
Origins is a series about putting a twist on the canon origins (Spacer, Colonist, Earthborn) while still staying mostly true to everything the games tell us about them.
Each story is a separate “origin”, consisting of small scenes that show how that origin could shape Shepard’s path and relationships throughout the three Mass Effect games.

Summary
Commander Shepard comes across a mysterious organization, The Oxcart Corporation, when she receives an SOS on an abandoned mine shaft somewhere in Sigurd's Cradle. What she uncovers is more than a dirty business; she finds a project that must be stopped at all costs.
(After the events of ME2, including Arrival DLC).
If you're just here for smut (I'm not judging you at all, we've all been there), just skip to chapter 14.

What do you need me to do?
Survive, he growls, and the end must really be close now, because she swears she hears his voice echo in the space around her.
---Post ME3 Shakarian fix-it. The Normandy is stranded without comms, the Reapers are destroyed, and Shepard is alive but with no way to make contact. Because I just finished LE and I have a lot of Big Feelings to work through.

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
In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down.
Yet, survival comes at a cost. After all, heroes aren't born from happiness. And this tale delves into a dark, brutal world as we come to know the siblings who had the courage to endure and stand against the tide.
A story of resiliency, determination, and hope in a galaxy of disrepair. This fic will follow our young heroes through the conclusion of the Reaper War. Yet, this is not a simple retelling of the trilogy. The entire war will be rewritten in order to give our galactic villains, the Reapers, the respect they deserve.
* I do NOT consent to this fic being reposted on any site, by human or bot. It is exclusive to AO3. Please let me know if you find it anywhere else.

Summary
A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!
This story continues in my other works!
**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** Check the tags. Graphic sex, graphic violence, character death.
Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.
**I own nothing!**

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
Taking the fight to the Collectors themselves was by all accounts a suicide mission: There was no guarantee of success, no guarantee of coming out of it alive, and yet, the mission was proceeding as planned as the team advanced deeper into the bowels of the Collectors' base. After a close call, and Miranda sustaining an unexpected injury, all that remains is venturing forth into its very heart, to the main control console, to end the Collector threat once and for all.
During some downtime, Commander John Shepard and Miranda find themselves discussing more than the mission: their very relationship, and what could happen to them if they made it out of there alive. And yet he finds himself faced with one impossible decision: what to do with her. He knows in his heart he wants nothing more than for her to be by his side at the end, but after seeing her hurt, the realisation he could lose her becomes all too real, and almost too much to bear.
Completing the mission and stopping the Collectors, a mission that had been months in the making, had become more to him than just doing his duty, it had become personal - all because of her. They had started it together, would it finish the same way?
