Summary
Dr. Liara T'Soni is one of the foremost researchers of Protheanology. Her work has been translated into more than 200 languages galaxy-wide and is now considered a cornerstone of research into the late Prothean era and how it informs the early Athamean time period. In this seminal work, Dr. T'soni writes about the relationship between the two time periods and why it is a mistake to cleanly delineate them from each other. This much is clear: history builds on itself.

Summary
“Colonel?”
She turns and faces him, ready to defend her actions if necessary. But instead, he salutes, and the rest of the men follow suit.
“Godspeed, ma'am.”
She smiles, returning the salute.
She releases the pressure seal on the latch.
She opens it.
A fairly heavily AU (pre-)Reaper War fic where the asari made contact with humanity in the late 21st century, after a classified military spaceflight test goes awry. But it's really a story about CPTSD, self-acceptance, and breaking down the walls we put up between ourselves and others to keep us safe and hidden. And also smut.
A lot of the trans/dysphoria stuff comes from my own experiences as a trans woman. Writing about it is kind of cathartic for me. Also there's a transmasc asari.

Paleblood Spectre by Queercrafting_Chonk
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Bloodborne (Video Game)
09 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
Spectre Roux Shepard died deep in the Terminus System, spaced into the cold void of an uncharted star system.
Spectre Roux Shepard woke in an antiquated clinic with the foggy memory of a raven-haired woman sinking a needle into the marine's arm.
These two statements are not contradictory.They are stranded on a quarantined planet, unwelcome and distrusted. Their grasp of their own mortality twists further into fog as dreams blur the borders of waking reality and slumbering fantasy--though either way, it is a nightmare.
"Seek paleblood to transcend the hunt."
Shepard isn't the only alien confined to this strange planet; they must seek fellow hunters through the treacherous streets of Yharnam if they are to survive long enough to learn the truth--which may well be related to the skulking Collectors, Prothean catacombs, and indoctrinated beasts that fester in the dark on the Night of the Hunt.
