    Two years after the war, Commander Vesta Shepard awakens from a coma with no memory of the Reapers, the Normandy, or the crew who once followed her.

Struggling with amnesia and the weight of a galaxy still in recovery, she must rediscover who she is—while facing the love she’s forgotten, the family she barely knows, and the legend everyone expects her to be.

    (For anyone finding this version I'd like to let you know I'm currently rewriting it on a separate work. Same name, same story-ish. Just a bit more character that I had to figure out!)

    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.

    Summary

    Jane "Kat" Shepard knew she would meet some unusual people when she decided to go on a suicide mission against the Collectors.

    But a trio of magical super-aliens from another galaxy surpass his expectations.

    A demon in tight clothing capable of summoning creatures of all kinds and performing magic.

    A female knight who can block an armored ship's attack with her shield and destroy a fortress with her Black Barrel.

    A space elf woman with enormous IQ, who builds and pilots marvelous technologies such as Power Armor, Mecha and Spaceships that can reach 100 kilometers in length.

    Jade Shepard has certainly found some powerful allies, too bad they are eccentric and difficult to manage.

    Summary

    The Weight of Survival begins in the aftermath of the Reaper War, when the Normandy crash-lands following the detonation of the Crucible. Commander Jane Shepard, gravely wounded and presumed dead, disappears in the chaos. What follows is a sweeping, character-driven narrative of grief, survival, and the fragile hope of rebuilding, not only for Shepard, but for her crew, her family, and the galaxy itself.

    At its heart, the story explores Shepard’s struggle to reclaim her identity after immense sacrifice, while grappling with her pregnancy—made possible through Leviathan-altered biology and the crushing symbolic weight placed on her by allies and leaders alike.

    Summary

    The second installment in Compromise Who I Am, a Mass Effect trilogy novelization. This piece covers the events of Mass Effect 2, as seen through Shepard's eyes.

    This series will include a slow-burn romance with Garrus and features a darker, more complex Shepard. Some dialogue is lifted directly from the game and expanded upon, but this story will mostly be filling in the gaps and exploring a struggling Shepard who finds herself now carrying the weight of an entire universe's future on her shoulders.

    Tagged side characters are prominently featured and explored. Specific content warnings are listed within chapters.

    Comprise Who I Am is a series about pain and healing. It is a story about learning to trust, falling in love with your best friend, and about handling the worst parts of yourself together. Reading the first installment of this series is not required, but is encouraged.
