    Summary

    After the Reaper War, the Normandy was retrofitted into a diplomatic ship. Admiral Shepard and her crew of overqualified badasses have nothing to do but smile for photos and cut ribbons.

    Then a very confused medieval knight falls through a magical portal into their shuttle bay.

    Cullen Rutherford thinks he's been captured by demons. The crew thinks they've been boarded by a renn faire enthusiast. They're all wrong— and none of them are ready for what comes next.

    A crossover about purpose, found family, darkspawn, and the unlikely romance between a genetically engineered biotic and a knight-in-shining-armor who didn't know what a shower was.

    Also featuring: one galaxy-ending bioweapon, two krogans, a crisis of faith, an awesome vacation home, armpit punches, a pope-assassin, a porcupine, an overpaid chef with a vendetta, and several ogres getting headbutted.

    Summary

    John Shepard is dead.
    So why are rumors suddenly spreading that the Alliance kept him alive, somewhere far from prying eyes?

    Rumors. Confinement. Uneasy silence. Some say he might return to active duty.
    But no one knows what it will cost.

     

    This wasn’t meant to go live today, but N7 Day felt like the right moment to begin this story.
    Yes, it’s about Shepard’s death
    Festive, I know.

    Summary

    Back from the dead, Shepard is thrust back into the driver's seat, leading the charge against the Collectors and the Reapers while the rest of the galaxy questions her sanity and the validity of the threats against them - just like old times.

     

    ME2 Novelization - I started going AU in part one, Do The Impossible, so if you're just jumping in, some things won't make sense unless you've read the first installment.

    Former Kaiden/Fem Shep romance although it didn't get quite that far in Do The Impossible.

    Colony background, both the war hero profile as well as the ruthless profile

    Shep was a soldier through and through for Do The Impossible - but all that is about to change.

    AU. First Contact War. The galaxy where Shepard never enlists, and Vakarian remains a faithful Hierarchy officer.

    "In the quiet moments between battles, he would catch himself going into those forbidden if-onlys. If only they hadn't been on opposite sides of a conflict that seemed to grow more insurmountable with each passing year. If only he could forget the feel of her skin, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes would light up when she spoke about her blue skies.
    But he couldn't forget, just as he could never see her again. He had no choice but to press on, because that's what a good turian would do. And he clung to the hope that somehow, someday, he might find his way back to that turian…"

    Summary

    What truly bridges the silent chasm between species? Is it shared pain, the fragile threads of friendship... or merely the hollow rhythm of a routine born from grief? The cosmos offers a thousand answers, yet none can fill the quiet.

    You drifted into my orbit when the stars had all gone dark. The death of my brother, John, didn't just leave me alone—it left me unanchored in an ocean of shadows. And yet, with the steady hum of your voice and the sharpness of your gaze, you built a fence around my darkness. You became the only horizon I could see.

    I fell, as stars often do, into a love that felt forbidden by the very laws of the galaxy. A love that wasn't meant to be. And when you were torn from my side, I wasn't left with a home, or a hope... I was left only with a variable. A cold, mathematical reminder of what I had lost.

    They say the Galaxy only needs one Shepard to save it. But John was the hero, and I am only the ghost he left behind.

    The Galaxy needs its Savior... but I only ever needed you
