Summary
Takes place during Mass Effect 3: Citadel.
Miranda and Shepard decide to unwind with a girls' night out at the Silver Coast Casino. The evening is filled with laughter, a few too many drinks, and Shepard letting her guard down in a way she rarely does. By the time they leave the casino, Shepard is decidedly worse for wear, much to Miranda's amusement.
Miranda delivers a very tipsy Shepard to Kaidan who is waiting patiently at her new apartment.
Chapter Three is rated as explicit for the sexy times. One and Two are free from this if that isn't your sort of thing.
Added some new art April 2025.

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
Her hand brushed gently against his mangled face. He was just starting to regain feeling in it. He shivered in anticipation. Her touch was so gentle.
He bent forward and pressed his forehead to hers. She anticipated his move and stretched up to meet him on the very tips of her toes.
“You did some research too, huh?” He asked her quietly.
“A little,” she said. “I’m nervous too. You’re my best friend, Garrus. But… you’re also my best friend.”
“Not sure I follow your logic there, Shepard.”

Summary
Asteria Shepard knew how to get the job done, albeit with the occasional explosion. She survived 18 years on the streets of Earth's megacity, a thresher maw, being spaced, the list went on. So when it came down to the wire with what to do with the reapers, she had only one thought: it's finally over. That is, until she wakes up after the battle for Earth in what seems to be the middle ages, surrounded by primatives. This must be what Javik felt, no wonder he was so damn grumpy.
A story of how Shepard went from savior of the Citadel to savior of Thedas.

Summary
Tuhi. An ex-Blue Suns mercenary and a clandestine special operative N7 form a reluctant partnership to take down a First Contact War veteran involved in operations neither one quite have the full story for. Batarian slavers, rooftop shootouts, crates full of kidnapped colonists- and questions that feel like they have no real answers... but maybe this is the mission that explains it all.
Or at least... some of it. At least the real, true, little bit of nonsense story that explains how Zaeed Massani and Sophie Shepard actually met in 2179.Series

Summary
Do you enjoy canon-based worldbuilding, character-driven arcs, and snappy dialogue? Are you into maximum drama? Hilarious hijinks? How about fresh takes on familiar storylines?
Most importantly- Do you prefer your Shakarian romance to be bursting at the seams with sexual tension before they finally screw each others' brains out?
If your answer is yes to any of these things, then Chance Effect might just be the fic for you. Pull up a chair. Suss the vibe. Stay awhile.
Then buckle up and hold on tight for a wild and crazy ride!

Summary
Ottilia (Otti) Shepard woke up after being dead for two years. She was revived by Cerberus, the Council still doesn't care about her or her cause, and the Illusive Man is a dick. She's plagued with nightmares and flashbacks, often lashing out at herself for things frankly out of her control. She's able to keep this under wraps from her crew. That is, until a turian with an obsession for calibrations decides to check on her after noticing the tendency to go directly to her cabin one too many times.
(In which Shepard is a mess, Garrus panics at the thought of his best friend suffering, and they end up together. Only Shepard is still, in fact, a hot mess.)
I will make a habit of putting content warnings on chapters containing self-harm as well as an indication of which paragraph you can skip to if you don't want to read that. Please take care of yourself while you read if it's a trigger for you. I won't have it mentioned too often, but it will be in there.
One other thing, my writing style has evolved as I’ve written this fic. The first 4 chapters stick very close to cannon which means it starts slow. I apologize for that, but I promise it gets better starting at chapter 4 and only improves from there!
