Summary
Yuji's always been weird, but it's fine. He has lots of friends who love him dearly, who he loves in return. Okaan the krogan merchant, Ch'ch'kt the rachni engineer, Brute the tank-bred krogan, Kibou the revived geth, Aria T'Loak the Pirate Queen...
Well. Aria's less his friend, more his bloodthirsty auntie who trained him up specifically to be her pet gladiator. But that counts, doesn't it? At least she doesn't think he's a monster who needs to be put down, like the Alliance, nor does she think he's a disappointing failure, like Cerberus. Not that Yuji knows why Cerberus has any interest in him. He's just a normal Earthborn human. Right, Grandpa?
...Right?

Summary
With the Normandy SR2 impounded, its crew disbanded, and the Commander under investigation for the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Kaidan finds himself lost in life yet again, the same he felt all those months ago when he thought his Commander was dead.
The deep betrayal had ruined his relationship with the man he always loved. Only a short time together was ripped apart when Shepard found out about Kaidan's spying on him for all their time together fighting the Collectors.
Now, investigations are underway, and word is spreading of the Reaper invasion slowly coming upon them. Shepard must team up with those he has fought with before to destroy the Reapers and save the galaxy for a third time. But can he and Kaidan move on from this big strain that ruined the trust they built? Or will even the threat of death and destruction still keep them apart?

Shepard says, "I wanted to be a marine scientist, as a kid."
[Shepard infodumps about fish. Kaidan wrestles with the fear they won't live to see the future. They meet in the middle, as they always do.]

Oath of loyalty by etherealend
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
07 Nov 2025
Tags
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
Evy does, pushing up and off the desk, taking his hand as she does. She lets Kaidan draw her into him, lets him kiss their joined hands.
This doesn’t feel entirely real, like all too soon she will wake up in another timeline where Mars didn’t happen, where the Reapers aren’t here, and Evy is on house arrest with no way of checking in on those she cares for. That if she closes her eyes, Kaidan will be gone. That they somehow didn’t find their way back to each other.
or
After Kaidan treats her to lunch at Apollo's -- a sanity check they both needed -- they find their way back to the Normandy to take advantage of the later benefits he promised.

Summary
“Have you thought about what happens when this is done? In the version where it all goes right, where the Crucible works and the Reapers are no more.” The strain in Evy’s voice is palpable, the desperate edge that borders on despair.
Thessia fell.
Thessia fell, and Evy doesn't even have anything to show for it. She failed.
