Summary
When Electra Shepard wakes from a coma following the destruction of the Reapers, she quickly realizes her happy ending is much more complicated than anyone could have imagined. No one knows how Shepard survived firing the crucible, much less how she is pregnant with Garrus Vakarian's baby. Thrust into the complex politics of rebuilding the galaxy, Electra and Garrus struggle to make their own happiness last while they search for answers.
Meanwhile, new forces of darkness threaten the galactic peace the crew of the Normandy fought so hard to secure in light of strange discoveries.

Summary
Shadowhunters with Mass Effect plot AU. No need to know Mass Effect lore to enjoy.
Clary Fray has had a life full of adventure ever since she was given her first mission 3 years ago. She has managed to ends wars and bring all the Shadow World together to fight against her father, Valentine Morgenstern, who had sought to cleanse the Earth of all downworlders by using Reapers, a creature that destroys advanced beings. It hadn't been easy, a lot of good people had been lost along the way, but it had all lead to this moment.
This moment in which she is in front of Lilith's likeness, the Catalyst, the hardest decision presented in front of her. There are a thousand things to be thinking about and, yet, Isabelle weights the heaviest on her mind.
It makes things clearer somehow.

Summary
Garrus Vakarian didn't kid himself when it came to his proficiency in ruthless calculus. If he hadn't been able to make the tough decisions, he'd never have been put in a position to do so. The Turian Hierarchy was a meritocracy. No one was given a job they weren't fit to perform. But Shepard could put a turian to shame with her composure.
That's why it came as a shock to him when, covered in the dust their footsteps had stirred up in the vacant clearing, Shepard began to silently sob.
A series of post-war vignettes in which Garrus and Renegade!Shepard finally have time to deal with the consequences of all that ruthless calculus.

Summary
Length: 00:37:13
Summary:Just keep walking, Vakarian. Shepard got a head start, but you need to catch up with her. Can’t let her have all the glory. No Shepard without Vakarian, remember?
(a quiet voice in the back of his mind, clinically pragmatic, also said: ‘and just in case she is dead, you need to finish what she started.’)
or;
There was no Normandy during the charge for the Crucible. It was all Shepard could do to drag her injured teammates behind the totalled Mako before staggering onwards to the pillar of light alone, determined to end the Reaper threat no matter what.
Too bad Garrus is stubborn to a fault.

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?”

AKA, a minor retelling of the series based on if Shepard and Garrus had met years before the Saren mission and how their relationship progresses over time

Summary
After negotiating with Hackett, Kaidan and Eris are at their marital home, the cabin in the orchard. Both are under house arrest and sort of in their pre-Eden Prime life, almost living as if the Reapers aren’t heading through dark space when another curveball is thrown their way.
Tinkering with the idea of a longer time between the Alpha Relay destruction and the Reapers arrival, along with discussions of the Andromeda Project.
Admiring the much broader line of Kaidan’s shoulders, Eris wandered after him, sighing softly at the rippling movement when he reached back for her hand.
In their bedroom, he drew her to him. Her death was filled with so much wasted time and regret it damn near swallowed him whole. With a raw ache in his voice, he said. “I love the way you do that.”
She looked up at him, her fingers twirling gently in his thick, dark chest hair for another moment. His wet hair curled a little at the ends, and she reached up to scrunch it, then traced the line of his jaw with her fingertip. “Do what?”

A continuation of Drowning in You: Part One and Interludes. A retelling of Mass Effect 3 in a Thane Lives AU. In this story, Thane joins the fight against the Reapers, and nothing could keep him from Shepard’s side in the war to come.
Mixed Thane and Shepard POVs, with other brief character POVs as necessary. Smut chapters marked with * because sometimes you just want spice, and I respect that. Live your dream.
Contains game dialogue. I own nothing from BioWare.

Life was just starting to make sense again. The apartment felt almost like home. Shepard was mostly back on his feet again, and Kaidan was looking forward to resuming his teaching duties. Then the headache to end all headaches upended everything.
The past has a way of coming back to bite you when you least expect it, and Kaidan has a lot more past than he's mentioned.
