Summary
Annette Shepard has had a hard life. Losing her family on Mindoir, losing her unit on Akuze, losing two years of her life, and now losing the man she once loved. After a brutal reunion on Horizon, Annette has to pick up the pieces and push forward. Luckily she has the galaxy's (second) best shot at her side helping her along the way.
This will be a bit of a slow burn working through the transition of Garrus and Shep's relationship from best friends to lovers as they hunt down the collectors and will then follow their relationship throughout the reaper war.
Feedback and suggestions more than welcome!

Summary
“Okay,” Shepard says. “I might have had something to do with it.”
“You might have had something to do with it?” Kaidan’s voice pitches high, the shift in tone noticeable even through the static of his breather helmet.
“I mean. Let’s not start pointing fingers.”
“You were the one driving the damn thing!”
Shepard tilts his head to the side, watches as Wrex scoops up another armful of snow and throws it at the front of the Mako where it’s currently wedged between two big rocks—and the whole thing on fire.

Summary
Harry never asked for this. After everything—the war, the loss, the battles that had stripped him of nearly everything—he just wanted to rest. To finally be with his parents, Sirius, and Remus in whatever lay beyond death.
But fate had never been kind to him.
Instead of peace, he wakes up in the distant future, reborn as Ben Shepard—the son of Jane Shepard, the infamous Butcher of Torfan, a woman known for her ruthless efficiency and battlefield prowess. Thrown into a life aboard Alliance ships, constantly relocating with his mother’s assignments, Ben finds himself struggling between the echoes of a past life and the reality of his new existence.

Saren doesn't like children. They're messy. Demanding.
Helpless.
With his line of work he never expected it to be an issue.
"Stop that."
"No."
"Human, I'm not going to tell you again. Stop. Touching. That."
That was before he was tasked with transporting the most disagreeable five-year old passenger in history to the nearest refugee facility.

Summary
The Galactic Imperium has weathered much. The Unification Wars, the Kroll Purifiers, the Great Khan, the Grey Tempest, the Contingency. The Imperium and its constituent states have endured, and now, they seek new frontiers to explore and exploit. A great project to reach a new galaxy is near completion now, and the first pioneers will soon soar through this alien space. Only, it seems to be already occupied...
The Galactic Imperium from my own Stellaris game is entering the Milky Way galaxy as per Mass Effect. They then proceed to very pointedly showcase the difference in scale between a space opera and a 4X strategy game. What is a Reaper in the face of a 30-kilometer long Titan?

Summary
"Nobody told Shepard that seeing Kaidan again would be closely followed by a goddamn Reaper invasion."
The Reapers have arrived, and Commander Shepard has been given the enormous task of bringing the galaxy together in a way that has never been done before. The war isn't the only thing on her mind, however: coming back into contact with her old lover Kaidan causes her to reevaluate her past interactions with him and come to the conclusion that she is still irrevocably in love with him. What's more, the war brings back memories of Shepard's old demons, pushing her closer to her breaking point. Can she endure everything and survive, or will the stress of the war pull her under?
(Shenko throughout Mass Effect 3, weaving in and out of in-game events. Adheres mostly to canon with a few alterations and additions.)
