Summary
Gordon Lou, in short, was a piece of shit.
Racist, xenophobic, it's all the same thing - and he was both.
His Father was gunned down by a Turian mercenary, and shortly after, his mother was raped and killed by a Batarian slaver. The colony he lived in? Burned to the ground. As a kid, he was shuffled from colony to colony, and finally sent back to the hellhole that was Earth, where he was raised in an orphanage.
An Earth that had changed a lot in recent years. The Citadel was destroyed during the Reaper invasion, and Earth had opened its doors to refugees of all species. The culture shock was rough, to put it mildly. But society adapted, as it always did, and became stronger for it.
But to people like Gordon, it would always be a mistake. The trauma. The hate. He could never let it go.
And so he joined up with the APD, not to save lives, but to "put xeno scum behind bars." Only 5 years on the force and he was promoted to Detective (human privilege coupled with actual talent for investigation), despite the fact that he had racked up a questionable number of police brutality incidents.
But then he was assigned a new partner, one that threatened to turn his world and beliefs upside down.

Summary
Following the destruction of the Reapers and a hard-won battle, a battle-scarred Shepard must once again get the crew back together (and recruit some new faces!) for one last journey after Liara discovers a grave danger out in the frozen wastes of Noveria, several years later.
Meanwhile, one Ark remains docked... and the power vacuum left in the wake of the Citadel Council's destruction and desolation of various homeworlds has given rise to a cold war between former allies that threatens to become hot, with pockets of skirmishes and long-standing rivalries bubbling to the forefront. Warlords, pirates, mercenaries abound. Non-council races make their play.
Join Shepard and crew as they fight to preserve the galaxy everybody gave so much to save as a new threat emerges, in an odyssey spanning across the Milky Way.

Summary
In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down.
Yet, survival comes at a cost. After all, heroes aren't born from happiness. And this tale delves into a dark, brutal world as we come to know the siblings who had the courage to endure and stand against the tide.
A story of resiliency, determination, and hope in a galaxy of disrepair. This fic will follow our young heroes through the conclusion of the Reaper War. Yet, this is not a simple retelling of the trilogy. The entire war will be rewritten in order to give our galactic villains, the Reapers, the respect they deserve.

Summary
Tali'Zorah was just looking for a worthy pilgrimage gift, but is sucked into the adventure of her liftime instead. At the helm: Commander Shepard, greatest hero of the Alliance. But with a life of violence and loss behind him and the weight of the galaxy on his shoulders, Tali soon finds that perhaps John Shepard needs her just as much as she needs him...
Violence, Language. Written mostly from Tali's and Shepard's POV, but everyone on the squad (including Joker) gets to be POV at least once. Even Kaidan.
