Summary
While on shore leave just before Virmire, Ashley and Shepard share a bottle of New Louisville "Kentucky" bourbon on the Presidium and discuss love triangles, the intricacies of interspecies sex, the burden of of fate and the inevitability of death, and the bone-deep desire to smash skulls. There are no kakliosaurs in the Alliance navy, and nobody smooches anybody. Really.

Summary
A Prothean beacon and a biotic experiment walk into a bar - Noah is trying to find the punchline before she becomes it.
It's not necessary to read the previous installments of this series, but they do help make sense of a few things so I would recommend it.

Noah Shepard vs. The Universe by la_haine_pacifique
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
08 Jul 2023
Summary
A series centering around the life and times of Noah Shepard, adopted daughter of David Anderson. Noah's backstory borrows some from Jack's, because I love making Cerberus even worse than they already are.
This is a side project, please don't expect frequent updates.

Incidents & Accidents (Mass Effect) by nekonexus
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
26 Oct 2024
Summary
Commander Shepard is a complicated person. One thing he holds sure and steady: his feelings for Kaidan Alenko.
Or: Shepard is a man who feels his feels and then gets on with things.
~~~
A series of moments in the timeline of my first "blind" playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy, Legendary Edition (so, including all original DLC). I'm posting them in chronological sequence rather than order written. (The latter would start with "Horizon" first, if you're curious. Shepard had Opinions about that mission.) Individual place/time markers will be mentioned in notes or tags or text where needed.
Note: series is complete up to and including The Future, or is This the Beginning. Logistics is still WIP.

Summary
Commander Alison Jane (AJ) Shepard has lived through more than most: the batarian raid on Mindoir, the slaughter on Akuze, and the ruthless campaign at Torfan. Now, as the galaxy teeters on the edge of annihilation, she faces not only the Reapers but the weight of her past and the choices that threaten to unmake her. This story is a novelization of Mass Effect, following Shepard’s journey through familiar missions, dialogue, and relationships as seen in the game.
As the weight of her decisions threatens to crush her, Shepard is forced to confront the pieces of herself she thought she’d buried. When she finds a shy, innocent, asari maiden trapped in a stasis bubble surrounded by prothean ruins, she finds herself opening up to someone. Balancing the tension of galactic war with fleeting moments of tenderness, Shepard must navigate the fine line between duty and desire, her past and her future. Along the way, old wounds resurface, friendships deepen, and love grows in the unlikeliest of places. But even in the darkest moments, there’s room for humor, hope, and the stubborn defiance that makes Shepard who she is. It is a story of survival, healing, and the relationships that keep us fighting—against all odds.

Summary
The day Commander Shepard stepped foot into the Council chambers was one that changed Garrus Vakarian’s life forever. What began as a stubborn need to continue the biggest investigation of his career led him to join a human ship and a mission that would decide the fate of the entire galaxy.
———
Snippets of Mass Effect 1 from Garrus’ point of view. Heavily focused on all the little moments we never got to see in between missions. Mostly canon compliant, but with extra feelings.

Summary
The Covenant War, Citadel Galactic Museum of War
In 2169, the Citadel Council turned its attention to the galaxy’s Frontiers—and found a world on fire. Harvest, a small human colony, was gone. Its cities were ash. Its people were dead. The attackers called themselves the Covenant. Their message was simple: humanity was a sin to be purged.At first, the Council regarded the war as distant, a frontier dispute of little consequence. Yet reports of new species, shattered colonies, and desperate resistance could not be ignored. The Frontiers were not just human. They were home to Maians, Nulls and others—diverse peoples who now fought and died together.
It is said the Council acted. Turian warships deployed. Asari commandos landed. Salarian operatives struck Covenant supply lines. Even the Elcor and Volus are remembered as standing beside Earth’s defenders.
The war did not end there. But something greater began—a united stand across species, governments, and ideals. From fire and ruin, the Citadel embraced the future.
The galaxy, we are told, changed forever.
