Summary
After leaving Horizon, Commander John Shepard has focused on recruiting the rest of his team. But when Miranda finds intel on what turns out to be a rogue Cerberus operation in a secluded part of the Traverse, he ends up with a new teammate he never expected - himself, from another timeline. It turns out Shep is no clone, though; she’s her own woman, and though they share backgrounds as Mindoir survivors and heroes of the Skyllian Blitz, there’s just as much setting them apart as there is that proves they’re both the Commander Shepard. Under the care of the familiar faces of her crew that nonetheless isn’t her crew, she adopts the identity of John’s long-lost sister, and tries to find her place in a galaxy she knows and yet seems like it might forever be foreign.
She’s a force to be reckoned with, and though her own universe has been destroyed by the hubris of the rogue operation, she’s determined to save his own right alongside him - and to reunite him with the man he misses the most from his own original crew... even as she tries not to think about just how close she and this Garrus are becoming - or how close she wants to become.

Summary
“You remind me of him,” Anderson had once said, the day they had made Kaidan the second human Spectre. He was under no illusion that that wouldn’t have happened without Shepard being the first, but he wasn’t quite so sure if they had really shared the same values. From what he had heard, things had regularly blown up wherever Commander Shepard had gone, and Kaidan was proud to think that they didn’t tend to around him.
Kaidan Alenko and John Shepard never meet on the Normandy SR-1. By the time Kaidan becomes the second human Spectre, Commander Shepard has been dead for almost two years.

Summary
SPOILERS FOR EXTENDED CUT DLC! An EC-compliant post-game fic of belated but no less appreciated reunions. Three squadmates who've loved Shepard, lost Shepard, and found Shepard again, not to mention all the crap they've learned from him in between. They left the plaque with Kaidan because somebody had to carry the heavy things. And, presumably, because Garrus was working on the Normandy’s new calibrations.

Summary
“I used to,” Alenko says, voice trailing off as he stares after the Commander. James furrows his brows. He sounds almost—wistful? Longing? What the hell.
“...Uh. Right. Cool,” James says with a nod, like he isn’t silently wondering what in the world that’s supposed to even mean.
*
or: it doesn’t take long for James to realize something about the great and untouchable Commander Shepard.

Summary
"Even the right choices have consequences."
Kaidan's father had told him that after he'd taken his first life. And he'd taken that to heart, always considering if he would be able to handle the consequences of every action he took. It's why he was on the Normandy again, it was why he was with Shepard.
But some consequences aren't felt immediately and are brought forward by an outside force. Kaidan is pulled back to what he had done all those years ago to face the consequences of his actions.Bookmarked by DialogueTreeEnjoyer3000

Summary
The galaxy tries to find the way forward, in the wake of the destruction of the reapers.
Post-ME3, destroy ending, but completely ignores the whole ‘destroy all synthetics’ thing. Basically, the reapers are destroyed and everyone else lives. Also assumes that Kaidan and Male Shepard had a romantic relationship in ME1.“You drank ryncol?” Kaidan hissed at him, clearly not prepared to let that one go.
Shepard shrugged, knowing it would only infuriate him more. “Yeah. But I survived,” he pointed out casually. -

Summary
Desperate times call for desperate measures and there isn't much more desperate than a Reaper Invasion. Anderson does what he has to and so does Kaidan.

Summary
Reconciling is hard.
Things never went according to plan, not really. Not with Shepard. Eden Prime. Noveria. Virmire. Alchera. Shepard was like a ship that skipped off the atmosphere every time he set a course for re-entry. With Shepard there was no script. No rehearsal. You just had to go with your gut.

Summary
After the Battle of the Citadel, the Alliance calls the Normandy home to Vancouver to face an inquest. Things get...complicated. On every possible level. Especially when Kaidan discovers an unfortunate misunderstanding with his parents.
~
“Have to admit though,” Shepard says, swallowing the rest of his shot, “I’ve been called a lot worse things than your boyfriend.”
Kaidan blinks. The whiskey’s definitely caught up to him. It’s warm in here, and he has to have imagined what just came out of Shepard’s mouth. “Really.”
“Compared to getting shot at and having an inquest shoved up my ass? I’m pretty sure holding your hand, going home with you and eating your mom’s risotto is a considerable improvement, yes.”
Kaidan laughs. Or tries to. It comes out as more of a hoarse squawk. “Sure, I’ll just avoid this whole mess by bringing you home with me. They’ll never have to know.”
“Maybe they don’t,” Shepard says, and Kaidan nearly chokes.

Summary
He’s The Captain?
This was not good. This was so not good.
There were theories of course, of what The Captain would look like. Most followed the typical Hollywoodesque belief that he was some version of the Godfather, sitting in a dark room with a cigar, commanding his forces with a flick of his wrist. There were even some that even thought that The Captain was not one person, but a whole network of people with eyes and ears everywhere.
The blonde Adonis in front of him was definitely not what Tony was expecting.
Of course, in the end it didn’t matter.
There was a reason no one knew what The Captain looked like.
Because anyone who saw his face never lived to tell the tale.

Summary
A series of winter prompts, starting with the Great Hot Chocolate War. Tooth-rotting fluff as far as the eye can see.
~
Shepard smiles a tender smile, which dissolves into a fiendish grin when he presses the backs of his knuckles to Kaidan’s cheek. Kaidan yelps in dismay and jerks away.“How are your hands so cold?”
The grin gets bigger and more shit-eating. “Now you know how it feels, Mr. Necromancy hands.”

Summary
Finding Major Kaidan Alenko, the biggest, hottest, hard-ass James had ever had the pleasure of working with, in Purgatory was only the first surprise that evening. A few drinks, a mutual exchange of barbs and flirts alike and, hey-presto he finds himself on the dance-floor with more than just those tequila shots making his cheeks pink.
"And here I thought only them Asari knew how to do that with their hips."

Summary
“I thought you would prefer to look into my eyes, Doctor,” gasped Garak. Would he ever be quiet? No, apparently not because he continued. “Or is it another matter of mathematics or—.”
Garak’s voice shuddered to a low rumble as Julian shoved his head hard into the single pillow on the cot. The damn thing rattled at the force.
———
If luck was on their side, they would get home in seventeen years, two months, and three days. Give or take an hour, as Julian had put it. But he knew the chances of them surviving the next 48 hours were slim to none.
