Summary
“Th–that is quite the literal translation,” Shepard managed, and wiped tears of laughter out of the corner of her eyes. “Malaka!”
Alenko’s omni-tool blipped once more. “Man who rubs –“
“Could you please stop reading the translation logs out loud, Chief?”
Her grin, present for a while already, widened further. “Is this an order, Sir?”With Saren having fooled the Council, it is now up to Team Milky Way to find proof of his guilt for Eden Prime. A direct follow up to "3 AM" and a quite different "missing scene" novelization of the events on the Citadel up to Shepard becoming a Spectre, under a heavy Shenko lense. ME1. Two-shot. Rated M because of Nora's very liberal application of swear-words and f-bombs xD

Summary
All life was synthesized to create a perfect eternal peace. The lie of ignorance from a Machine Child.

A truth: Garrus Vakarian is a bad turian who fell in love with a flawed human who died for the cause. And now he will rewrite fate to save her.

Summary
“You have to get up, the facility is under attack.”
Attack from whom? Last time the attack of an unknown vessel sheared the ship in half and killed– Shepard's eyes flew open. She should be dead. She died out there, in space. All alone, suffocating. One would not wake up from that.
Why was she not dead, then?
A rewrite and extension of the start of ME2, with the focus on the psychological impact coming back from death has on Shepard, two years later in a galaxy that has moved on without her.

Summary
And now where she was back, like a star reborn from the void that swallowed her over Alchera, he was at a loss what to do with this fact. Throw her over his shoulder and run away away away until she was safe from Cerberus’ reach? Take her into his arms and kiss her senseless with two years worth of longing aching in every fiber of his being? Yell at her, call her a traitor for working with Cerberus, because she was and, and…but… – The soldier and man in him both wanted different things, and his integrity and loyalty warred with the murmuring of a second chance. Two hearts, one chest with not enough room for both.
Set in ME2. Kaidan meets the ghost of the woman that has haunted him for two years. Horizon Fix-It Fic™ because Shepard's ingame dialogue there is the wooooorst.

Summary
For your reading pleasure, a Modern Girl in a Mass Effect World fic including an astrophysicist PhD candidate obsessed with an anomaly on Mars scans that lands smack dab in the middle of Saren's plans and very nearly on the turian himself.
Will her research on dark matter and forgotten Mars ruins help Jane Shepherd save the galaxy or will they lock her up for knowing too much about classified information? The turian Spectre that saw potential in one human will see it in another, although for a different sort of mission entirely.
Chapter 16 includes explicit scenes. The rest is T or M, I try to include TW in chapters where they're relevant.
(Background ships will sail eventually.)

Give Our Lives to Normandy by F-117 Nighthawk (F117_Nighthawk)
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy

Summary
“Nobody knows why we got these,” Kezk shrugs when Aubine asks about the words painted over her armored hump, “Some people say they’re reminders of people that affected the course of our lives. Some people say they’re soulmates or some other bullshit like that.”
“What do you say?”
Kezk laughs and slaps her tiny shoulder. “I say that if you ever want to charge like a krogan, you’ve got to get a handle on those biotics first.”Aubine Shepard has more words on her than anyone probably should. She has dozens of 'thank yous,' several sets of words from those she's fought and come out the only one standing, and a set of sapphire on her arm she uncovers when she needs to. She's a war hero, one of the most famous Alliance operatives at this point, so she supposes it's a little expected.
The Reaper is not.
(Or: a soulmate mark subversion that follows Shepard through the trilogy, looking at the consequences of the trope. Like words from a Reaper.) -

Summary
After Shepard's death, Garrus changed. When she died, part of him did too.
Living on Omega as Archangel rewired his perception of pursuing justice, going against everything Shepard had taught him while he was serving on the Normandy. Even after Shepard's resurrection, Garrus couldn't be persuaded to spare Sidonis, despite the concern coming from his partner. Shepard needs to make a decision — does she attempt to change him or accept their differences?
