Summary
The Illusive Man leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers. “We humans have a saying. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Shepherd was familiar with the phrase, but turians didn’t think that way.

When the stakeout takes a turn for the worse, they're forced to bunker down on Level 14 of Tayseri Ward, known for its lack of C-Sec involvement and red light district.

Summary
Four years after the Reaper War, the galaxy is slowly, but finally healing her wounds. Most of the debris is cleared out, and some of the mass relays are repaired, facilitating travel around the galaxy once more. Garrus Vakarian has become a Spectre, and while he still thinks that Commander Shepard is alive out there, somewhere, it’s getting harder to believe with each passing year. But the galaxy seems to love to make fun of him in thirds: on his third visit to Earth, he discovers Shepard’s third life. As part of a newly-founded arms manufacturing company, suspected of having ties to a major Earth crime syndicate.
He’s never been good with gray.
Four years after firing off the Crucible, Shepard is right back where she started: one of the gangs of her youth. She’s never liked feeling alone and powerless, and when she woke up after a months-long coma in those exact circumstances, well, she went right back to the one familiar thing she had left. Except now it’s become the biggest crime syndicate in the United North American States after the war. And now she wants out.
But when it comes to Shepard, it seems like the universe loves to make things harder than necessary.

Summary
Lucy remembered being young, a little girl. Her vault suit covered in dirt and the heels of her hands scrapped, bleeding. It seemed like the worst that could ever happen to anyone, like her entire existence had been turned on its axis, like the end of the world to a child. Then, her mother standing in front of her, gentle hands cleaning the wounds, whispering soft, comforting words.
"Ten fingers, ten toes," in a sing-along tone that always made Lucy smile. "And I'd love you even if you had none."
Now, as she stared at the test results, with her entire existence truly turned on its axis and nobody there to lift her off the ground, she missed her mother more than ever.

Summary
It was wrong to want her, he knew that. She was young, but more importantly, she was naive. He wanted to take that naivete between his teeth and grind it up until there wasn't a shred of it left.
The old Cooper would hate the things he'd done to her. The old Cooper could never forgive himself for taking her the way he wanted to take her. So fuck that guy.

Summary
“I’d be real careful with that line o’ thinkin’,” he warns, raising an arm and bringing it to brace against the wall beside her head, all but pinning her to it. They may not be physically touching, but they’re so close to it and he’s looking at her like she’s a meal (which should be concerning because she knows he literally eats people) and she really, really wishes they were touching right now. “Because I can be nice. Real nice.” His free hand reaches up to her face, and she’s so focused on watching his expression and how close his face is to hers that she doesn’t even realize until his thumb brushes over the barely-healing split in her lip. “…But I don’t think nice is what ya’ want, is it?”

When Cooper is too late to find what he's been searching for, he gives up on everything...including his sense of self-preservation. Lucy refuses to let him.

Summary
He hadn’t been a young man when the bombs dropped, and he wasn’t any younger now. By this point, he’d experienced pretty much every feeling there was to feel, and he had little use for them anymore. He was able to view most things—and people—with the cool apathy that the wasteland required. But the girl had done a good thing for him back at the Mart, and though that wasn't worth much out here, it was worth something. A bit of curiosity, maybe. Nothing more.
Curiosity, it turned out, had a funny way of lingering in the subconscious.
(or, just over a week into their travels together, the Ghoul and Lucy start to have sex dreams about each other.)

Summary
Vaultie doesn’t talk much for the first couple of days.
Coop tries not to dwell on it—lot easier for him, lot safer for them, if she keeps her mouth shut. Just…well, hell, it’s one of those things that niggles at him, twitching in the back of his mind like a worm on a hook. Dumb fuckin’ fish that he is, Coop lets it draw him in.
Snippet fics of Lucy and Cooper post season one. Rating has changed as of chapter four.

Summary
An arrangement negotiated between the Hierarchy and the Alliance at the end of the First Contact conflict leads to the placement of twenty human families on the turian colony world of Oma Ker. Among these families is lieutenant Hannah Shepard and her daughter Jane. Growing up surrounded by turians, Jane finds she doesn't truly belong to either world she's a part of: too turian to be fully human and too human to be fully turian. Struggling to find her place, her only comfort is her closest friend, one she's know since her arrival on Oma Ker: Garrus Vakarian. But as the years go by, she begins to see Garrus as more than just a friend.

Takes place in three acts spanning several years, following Shepard and Garrus' changing relationship.

Summary
Before becoming a hotshot Naval aviator, Jake Seresin was born and bred in the small town of Silverkeep, TX. His every waking minute is spent with his endearing group of friends--and most importantly: you. Riding your bikes to Silver Spring on Friday afternoons, drinking cheap beer around a bonfire after school, and making mixed tapes is what you all live for as your senior year drifts to a close.
He comes of age and falls in love with you, his best friend that he affectionately refers to as Filly. You’re the bull-headed, ardent, zealous girl he met in Sunday school before you were old enough to tie your own shoes. Somewhere between chain-smoking after baseball games underneath the bleachers and lying in the bed of someone’s daddy’s truck at the rundown drive-in, the two of you have been entirely dedicated to each other. You both think you’re in love. But your situation is a delicate balance of downright, darling devotion and paralyzing fear of rejection. This is to say: neither of you have the gall to do a damn thing about it.

Summary
Los Angeles, 1979.
Donning the name Cherry Arsan, you’re the newest and hottest thing to hit the booming porn scene in California. Wide-eyed and open-minded, you’re a free spirit that finally found the means to get off her family’s chicken farm in Nebraska.
Rooster Bradshaw is the biggest name in porn, a veteran in the industry and well-respected by actors and producers alike. As fate would have it, he stars opposite you in your very first pornographic film. The spark between the two of you runs red-hot on camera and translates off-screen with a mutual infatuation with each other. You shoot into stardom in a burst of technicolor, baring all on screen and off.
With Rooster looming beside you, you are inducted into the audacious world of Los Angeles in the seventies. For a while, it’s a beautiful one: free love, fluid sexuality, pink Cadillacs, nights at the disco, days at the record bar, expensive dresses, roller-skating down the boardwalk, swimming in Rooster’s cherry-colored pool, getting paid to have sex.
When it gets ugly, muddled with a predatory industry and an abundance of drugs that are readily and easily accessible to you, it gets ugly fast. -

Summary
Fucking over Task Force 141 was one thing, but gunning down innocent people on the streets of Las Almas?
Shadow 4-1 did not sign up for that.
Try as she might to escape the clutches of Graves and his Shadow Company, they've branded themselves under her skin. Try as she might to pick back up her broken pieces...
Once a shadow, forever a shadow.

Summary
You're a trauma surgeon turned military physician sent to keep the 141 in one piece as a result of a few close calls on missions. Almost immediately, you're drawn to the mysterious man in the mask.
After months of failed attempts to get Ghost to notice you, Soap makes an interesting proposition that turns out to be a bit more than you bargained for.

Summary
You’ve been with Shadow Company long enough to know that working alongside 141 on their search for the stolen American missiles wouldn’t be an ordinary assignment. And most importantly, you knew Graves. Shadow Company keeps its allies close, and its enemies closer, and when you’re given a job, it gets done without conflict. Without loose ends.
Your true mission is clear to you -- keep an eye on 141 and keep them comfortable. Anything it takes to alleviate suspicion with Shadow Company’s involvement with the missing missiles. This wasn’t about saving lives, this was a deadly game of control, and you intend to do so flawlessly.
A love triangle between Graves x Reader x Ghost, and possibly Soap. Only one pairing will be endgame.
