Summary
The sound of someone sliding into a stool in front of her makes Shepard blink open her eyes again, the bar lights behind her casting a slight shadow that makes his eyes seem a richer shade of blue. She has no control over the smile that starts in her eyes, the crinkling of laughter lines and warm affection, and only then does it spread, touching her mouth lightly.
"Hey, you," she says, leaning over the bar in front of her. "You're off early."

Summary
Jane Shepard has been homeless on Earth for most of her life until Saren passed by one day during the winter. She returned a package to him which he accidentally dropped simply out of sheer kindness. Realizing that she acted different from most of the humans he encountered, Saren decided to return the favor by taking her in so he could at least give her a second chance at life. Little did they know, this would be the start of a close bond that would prove Saren's impression on humans.

Summary

She joined the Alliance military to try and have a fresh start but after Akuze, her heart became eclipsed. Now with a rising darkness threatening to destroy the galaxy, she must find strength in those around her. But just as those she trusts once saved her, helped her to forgive, Aura tries to do the same for a certain rogue who's lost his way just like she had. But can she redeem the Reapers' puppet? Can he be saved?

Summary
Kasumi stared at him from beneath her cowl, "Look at the Commander, what do you see?"
What did he see?
"She is a warrior, unmatched, truly, she glows on the battle field," Kasumi still held that expectant look in her eye and Thane knew he should give in, "Off the battle field? She's beauty incarnate. I grow weak when she merely glances my way."
"Wow," Kasumi chuckled with a wry smirk, "You're in deep."
Thane agreed. He was in deep and he wanted to drown in her.

Summary
It has been two years since John went down with the SSV Normandy SR-1. After running into Kaidan back on Horizon, leaving invisible scars, the line of trust became thinner and thinner at every waking moment. They are thrown into the same path again when Earth is attacked by the reapers, and attempts to fix the broken record between them, becoming closer than ever.
“I tried so hard, thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way
Then I see your face, I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name, I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole...”- 'Pieces,' RED ♪

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.

There are no winners in the war against the Reapers. It only takes, and takes, and takes. For some their lives, others their humanity, and others still their entire way of living.

Summary
Shepard never asked to be a Spectre or a diplomat. But if that's the best way to protect humanity, she'll do her duty.
She certainly didn't sign up for celebrity. But if her celebrity duties are listening to flattery and cuddling baby turians, that's easy. Adult turians are terrifying - who'd have thought the babies were so tiny and adorable?
Kid, please stop hiding in my cleavage. Please go back to your daddy. Or I’ll have to undress in public to return you. Please?-
