Summary
When famed loose cannon Commander Mercy Shepard is appointed as humanity's first Spectre, Comm-Specialist Samantha Traynor is assigned to keep her in check. Officially, she's there to tackle the influx of fanmail and handle Shepard's public image. Unoffically, she's reporting every little thing the Commander does back to Ambassador Udina for damage control. It's supposed to just be a harmless promotion and a decent pay increase, but then they find themselves falling...
Or, what if Samantha Traynor was introduced as an LI in the first game?

Summary
It has been two years since John went down with the SSV Normandy SR-1. After running into Kaidan back on Horizon, leaving invisible scars, the line of trust became thinner and thinner at every waking moment. They are thrown into the same path again when Earth is attacked by the reapers, and attempts to fix the broken record between them, becoming closer than ever.
“I tried so hard, thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way
Then I see your face, I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name, I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole...”- 'Pieces,' RED ♪

Summary
The mission to Akuze should've been simple, but once they arrived, Amber Shepard had the misfortune to watch Thresher Maws slaughter her comrades. Just as she was on the brink of death, she found herself under the care of Saren Arterius. If she wants to get back home, they'll have to form a bond of trust.
If this bond of trust can help with diplomacy between the humans and the Council races, then this bond of trust can also help them stand together when strange events show up to test the fate of the galaxy.

The Machiavelli Project by lilmissnatcat24
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
18 Jun 2023
Tags
Summary
Commander Shepard comes across a mysterious organization, The Oxcart Corporation, when she receives an SOS on an abandoned mine shaft somewhere in Sigurd's Cradle. What she uncovers is more than a dirty business; she finds a project that must be stopped at all costs.
(After the events of ME2, including Arrival DLC).
If you're just here for smut (I'm not judging you at all, we've all been there), just skip to chapter 14.

Summary
A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games - including eventually into Andromeda. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!
Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.
**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** See individual works for specifics.
**BioWare owns the games and the characters (minus a couple smalls OCs), I'm just reveling in the love they gave us**

Summary
Shepard has never been one to sit around and wait for others to figure it out. She’s always preferred her own boots on the ground, no matter how many waves of husks, or Collectors, or goddamned Reapers might stand in her way. She doesn’t like this. She wouldn’t like it if any other ship was missing, and she certainly doesn’t like it now.
How could she ever trust anyone else to find the Normandy? To turn every stone? Earmark every page?
When Shepard wakes up after everything, Garrus isn't there. And with the Normandy currently missing without a trace, neither is anyone else.
Alone, injured, and stuck in a small hospital on Earth, all she can do is wait for progress to come.

Summary
"Grunt observes the Commander, the Tank encouraging him to learn all he can about her. She is powerful, after all. A substantial threat if she ever decides to challenge him. So he watches, and he learns.
Commander Shepard has a predatory glint in her eyes, and her smiles bare more of her teeth than those of the other humans on the ship. He wonders if she is unusual in that regard, or if the rest of them are simply showing deference to her. The second wouldn’t surprise him. The Tank murmurs about humans and their fragility, but Shepard is a force of nature. He sees the way she charges into battle, a flurry of biotics and rage, and even the Tank hums in approval. She shouldn’t be able to wield so much power, yet she does."
Grunt learns about Shepard, before, during, and after his Rite.
