Summary
Ten years ago, the Reapers were vanquished, the galaxy saved. Statues were raised. Obituaries written. Shepard, having died in the last moments of the war, became a hero, a legend, enshrined in memory.
Only Shepard wasn’t dead. He was hidden. Locked away for all that time.
And now, Shepard has returned, having been freed from his frozen prison.
His pursuit for answers will lead him across a changed galaxy. He knows this wasn’t an accident. Someone had a reason to put him under for those ten years, and they had the power to make the galaxy believe he was never coming back. He will stop at nothing to find the truth and take down those that wronged him and destroy the lies they’ve built. Only then will his vengeance be complete. The galaxy will soon learn how dangerous a dead man can be.
And when the last name is crossed off, he will look to the stars again. Toward the one face that’s haunted his every waking thought and pulled him forward all this time.
A voice. A memory. His lost love.
Tali'Zorah.

"In the quiet moments between battles, he would catch himself going into those forbidden if-onlys. If only they hadn't been on opposite sides of a conflict that seemed to grow more insurmountable with each passing year. If only he could forget the feel of her skin, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes would light up when she spoke about her blue skies.
But he couldn't forget, just as he could never see her again. He had no choice but to press on, because that's what a good turian would do. And he clung to the hope that somehow, someday, he might find his way back to that turian…"

Summary
In the cold expanse of Terra Nova orbit, aboard the stolen frigate Whisper, Commander Justin Cavanaugh-Shepard and his ragtag squad of survivors—soldiers, outcasts, and dreamers—forge new traditions among the stars. Haunted by memories of rain-soaked Thanksgivings in Vancouver and chaotic celebrations in East LA, Justin and Maverick lead the Black
“Two Thanksgivings. One family. Infinite stars.”Dragons through rituals of quiet reflection and riotous joy, blending harvest and chaos, silence and music.
As the squad gathers for two Thanksgivings—one for the roots, one for the fire—they discover that family is not inherited, but chosen. Through shared meals, stories, and the scars of war, they reclaim gratitude in the face of loss, building a home not from history, but from hope. In the darkness between worlds, the Black Dragons learn that sometimes, the quietest thanks are the loudest, and that healing begins with the rituals we make for ourselves.
For fans of found family, space opera, and stories where resilience is stitched into every tradition, “Constellations of Gratitude” is a celebration of memory, meaning, and the miracle of chosen kin.

Summary
A year after the Archon’s death at the hands of Pathfinder Ryder in 2819, the Kett Empire began sending more forces towards the Heleus Cluster. They especially took a deep interest in the Milky Way species that came aboard the Andromeda Initiative.
As the black hole at the center of the Heleus Cluster started behaving erratically from contact with the Scourge, the Nexus started picking up transmissions from hundreds of years prior over in the Milky Way. This new discovery meant a possible link between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies via this black hole, a time travel phenomenon thought impossible.
With the intrepid crew of the Tempest planning their route through the black hole, the state of the Milky Way on the other side is that of reconstruction from the Reaper War having ended months prior. The Crucible having destroyed the Reapers yet preserving synthetic life had made Commander Shepard a legend to most.
This is where the road for Commander Shepard and Pathfinder Ryder converges…

Oath of loyalty by etherealend
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types

Summary
Loyalty: a notion that had always gravitated around Garrus’ life.
“I am loyal to him, as he is loyal to me. And isn’t this the greatest form of love?” Her mother, as the good turian she was, used to say with regard to Castis.
Loyalty. During childhood, boot camp, military service. Loyalty: a virtue every turian was supposed to possess from birth, to the Hierarchy, first and foremost.
Garrus had always, secretly, disagreed. It was something to be earned.
And with her, such had been.
Commander Shepard had secured his deepest loyalty, and only when he saw her for the last time, before the Normandy SR-1 was taken down, did he understand how right his mother was. -

As they navigate themes of identity, belonging, and defiance, Ashton and EDI redefine their existence and legacy in a galaxy eager to erase synthetic life.

Summary
When the slavers return to Mindoir, the Ashland family stands alone.
Jack Ashland—a retired Alliance Marine—fights to protect his children, Rogue and Scout, as the colony burns around them. But when tragedy strikes and Scout is taken, the twins must survive not just the battlefield, but the grief that follows. Reinforcements arrive too late to save their father, but not too late to carry his legacy forward.
Now, under the watchful eye of Rear Admiral Malcom Hawke, Rogue and Scout are given a choice: fade into the wreckage of war, or rise from it. At Vancouver Basic, they meet Justin Cavanaugh, a tech prodigy raised by biotic rights advocates, and Phoenix Matthews, a soldier born into legacy and pressure. Together, they begin a new chapter—one forged in fire, bound by loss, and driven by the hope of something more.
A story of survival, sacrifice, and the families we choose, The Last Light of Mindoir is a character-driven sci-fi drama about what it means to live after everything falls apart.

Summary
OC MC. OC x Ahsoka. OC POV mostly. This is a huge multi crossover from an ai dungeon playthrough. Edited of course. Several factions find themselves on The Liminal Nexus, a forerunner shield world that connects the multiverse. The Main Antagonist is the banished, the Didact, the flood, and The Witch Cult, though there are others. The POV is mostly Bubba the OC but eventually I found out how to do other POVs in the ai dungeon game, much later. The characters are shown on a bit of a rotating basis through the MCs POV. While the story itself generaly rotates between issue, talks, fighting and ealing with issue, resolution, downtime, training, issue, repeat.
Trauma, relationships, Sci-Fi, action adventure, huge cast, therapy, big battles, sparring, ship combat, found family.Series
