Summary
The detective nods, leaves the room, and returns with the kid. He forces her down onto a bench opposite Anderson, handcuffs her to the table, then sits on a chair in the corner of the room. She’s gangly, either sixteen or seventeen, and still wearing her dirty clothes from the fight. Her arms are lined with scratches: some fresh, some scarred, and her face is bruised. A bulky biotic suppression collar hangs around her neck, and her hands and feet are held together with additional metal bindings.
She blows a strand of her shoulder-length tangled red hair out of her face as she leans on the table and smirks. “Sure you guys don’t want to add any more cuffs? I think I make them look pretty good.”
Or: David Anderson meets Earthborn Shepard for the first time.

And as various crew members begin acting strangely, Shepard wonders if everything was what it seemed with the Prothean artifact. Are the Protheans conducting an experiment from beyond the grave? Or were the crew of the Normandy SR2 never meant to handle the remains of such a powerful species? Or is there something else darker at play?

Summary
Two years after the death of Garrus Vakarian, Delia Shepard finds herself stationed on Horizon when the Collectors attack and kidnap Kaidan Alenko. When a mysterious shadow corporation by the name of Cerberus comes to her rescue, she sees is as not only a way to save Kaidan, but to possibly do some good in the universe. But there's a mysterious turian who follows her at every step, one that may be more than he seems on the surface.
Garrus Vakarian is alive. He's 30% cybernetics, embedded with a control chip and surveillance devices that track his every move, and doesn't care about anything anymore-- but alive. He has one sole mission: to destroy Cerberus from the inside out. But when Shepard happens back into his life, he's forced to make the harrowing decision of whether to complete his mission, or to risk it all for the woman he once thought he couldn't live without.

Summary
They had something once. Something real. But a lot changes about your life when you come back from death, and a lot changes about love when you’re not sure just who it is that’s standing in front of you. Wren Shepard and Kaidan Alenko went through hell together facing Saren and Sovereign, but then they turned around and put each other through hell on Horizon. But now that the Reaper threat has made its way to Earth, they’re back in each other’s orbit, and they realize some things don’t change at all. His heart still stutters when she walks into the room. Her eyes never stray from him for long. Will this war allow them to remember who they really are, to remember what they are together, or will one of them end up being lost before either of them is found?
Part One of This War is Our Dawning takes place during the events of Mass Effect 3 with occasional references to ME1 and ME2.

Summary
None of this was the plan. Not the last night of shore leave with the handsome stranger. Not the covert mission to Eden Prime with a shakedown crew. Not a Prothean beacon.
And definitely not everything that came after...
A Nihlus Kryik fix-it, because we were robbed at gunpoint (literally). Beta'd by the lovely Iron_Angel.

Summary
When an N7 reconnaissance mission goes wrong, its operators captured by a notorious batarian warlord, the Alliance calls in Commander Shepard.
It'll be in and out. Kill all the slavers, retrieve the N-team, leave. Easy.
What could possibly go wrong?
AKA: The last N7 mission Shepard gets to do before she's reassigned to the SSV Normandy SR-1, goes to Eden Prime, and finds out the galaxy is a lot more fucked-up than she'd even imagined. Featuring batarians, more batarians, a fellow N7, and yet another batarian but this one's...different.
Prequel to Mass Effect 1.

Summary
"Commander, with all due respect, you've got a great pair o'knockers and it's a shame you gotta hide 'em." Michaels croons to Shepard's left.
"C'est la vie, Michaels. If there weren't regs, in another life, all that jazz."
Whatever Michaels is about to say in response is lost in the sound of a klaxon and the flashing of red lights. Shepard's stomach drops through the floor as her heart climbs into her throat.
They were under attack and ninety percent of her crew was sprawled drunk.

At the end of the day, his world always came back to violet. Not stones, or sunsets, or even the tiny Earth plants with those funny petals. No, his whole universe started and stopped with a pair of remarkable, shining, unfathomable violet eyes.
Garrus Vakarian had never spared much thought for humans. Then a pair of violet eyes turned his whole galaxy on its head. He was just supposed to be coming along to hunt down Saren, so when did she go from the Commander to his Commander?

Liara came into the little exercise room, where Shepard was grimly doing the same set of awkward physiotherapy stretches she'd been doing twice a day every day for the last two years, and said "I thought we could visit Earth next year. For the eclipse."
