Summary
2174. Admiral Hackett has just recommended twenty-year-old Marika Shepard for a one-year Alliance-Turian military exchange. Tasked with training at a base near Cipritine, she finds herself immersed in a world that’s not quite ready to forgive, or forget. Seventeen years after the First Contact War, scars remain—and for a human in turian ranks, respect doesn’t come easy.
But amidst the rigid discipline and unspoken resentments, Marika finds something she never expected: belonging. And in one sharp-eyed medic with a laugh like sunlight—something even rarer.
Learning to fight alongside turians is hard. Falling for one? Surprisingly easy.

Summary
After helping Shepard stop the Collectors, Thane continues to face his mortality as he battles Kepral’s Syndrome. But a ray of hope has touched his life. He and Shepard have agreed that they will accept the time they have left and spend it together—until the time they thought they had is snatched away from them.
And then, the Reapers.
Though many circumstances are beyond his control, Thane is once again left to make a choice: whether to embrace death and the end of times, or to fight for his life—and the life of his siha.
-This story details events of ME3, with the intention of keeping Thane alive and inserting him back into the story. I recommend reading my story 'Life Support' first, as it is the first book in the series.-

Summary
Eilís Moran (AKA Elizabeth Shepard) has been having a bad few months.
After being abandoned as a child, then booted from the foster system, Eliza was adopted by a gang leader in NYC. Things got... complicated, and her guardian persuaded her to enlist in the Alliance Navy. She was chosen for N7, defended Elysium from a pirate invasion, found a mentor, and became his XO. Life was good.
Then a Spectre betrayed the Council, and she lost crew trying to hunt him down, inadvertently saving the galaxy. Sort of. She unexpectedly fought with her boyfriend - which was a bummer - but then she died, which was arguably worse. She woke up on a space station - having been reassembled by an organization she loathed with every fiber of her being - and the former boyfriend? Didn't trust her as far as he could Throw her. Still, she managed to save the galaxy again (sort of). Then the leader of the Alliance Navy asked for a personal favor... that went sideways.
All of this... before they threw her into a prison cell built specifically to neuter biotics.

Unidentified activity at the edge of the Sol system sends Commander Shepard and her ship through a supposedly dormant mass relay. Stranded on the other side, the lives of her crew rest in her hands; a single decision can bring salvation—or death.
When Lieutenant Garrus Vakarian is ordered to investigate the crash site of an unknown craft, he becomes part of Shepard’s fate, and she becomes part of his.

But first she has to find a crew.

Summary
Everything was perfect. Saren was defeated. Sovereign fell from the sky. They'd survived it all and discovered something more... in each other. And then it all fell apart. Shepard took the rest of the team to investigate the continuing geth sighting. C-Sec obligations forced Garrus to stay behind... And when she'd needed him most, he wasn't there to watch her six. The love of his life died over Alchera and the galaxy came crashing down around him. An avenging spirit emerged that day. He called himself: Archangel.
Temporary Hiatus until I can sort things out. My mother passed away 3/5/24.

It all started with a hookup on Omega. The one time that was never going to be just once. There was a time when a no strings attached agreement was exactly what James Vega thought he wanted. Is it still just a hook up after two years?

My take on Garrus and Shepard’s first time before the attack on the Collector Base. Inspiration for this fic is obviously from the game itself, including the in-game quotes, the extended romance mod, and my dirty mind.
