Summary
When Lord Commander Shepard decides to go on a routine mission to clear ruins for the scientists of Tellus Mater, she never expects to cross paths with two asari huntresses.
She also never expects to find the only Heiress of Thessia, stuck in a stasis trap.After a stressful discussion concerning a potential intrusion on lands the asari should simply not be on, a middle ground is found, in the shape of keeping the First Daughter of Thessia safe in Normandy's Keep.
But below the surface of politics and bureaucracy, unrest stirs. Trade routes get attacked, artefacts stolen and the war that Shepard had hoped to finally see disappear resurges. Is unifying Tellus Mater, Thessia and Palaven the only real way to prevent dark magics from taking over?
---
OR if Mass Effect happened on the same continental land and biotics are now a type of magic that can be learned. Also Shepard's in love, but there's little time to focus on what the heart says when everything goes to shit. Right?

Summary
Shepard failed. The Reapers won — spreading across the galaxy like a plague, exterminating everyone. Nowhere is safe. Shepard wracked with guilt.
But fate has other plans.
Shepard flees to meet up with desperate refugees fleeing for Andromeda. Another galaxy. Another chance. Whispers of safety.
But fate has other plans.
A dying relay. A collapsing shuttle. A twist in reality itself.
To borrow a phrase from another lone survivor — "just this once, everybody lives!"

Summary
Aila never wanted to spend her life confined to an Alliance ship, but as one of the most renowned medics in the fleet, she has little choice. When a mission to Eden Prime puts her in the path of a wounded turian Spectre, she makes a split-second decision that changes everything—she saves his life.
Tylus' duty is clear: protect the galaxy, no matter the cost. That means stopping the rogue turians attacking human colonies, even if it puts him in the crosshairs of both his own people and the humans who still see him as the enemy. The last thing he expects is to owe his life to a human.
Thrown together by war they thought long over, bound by secrets neither of them should know, Aila and Tylus uncover a sinister truth buried deep within the Alliance—one that has already cost countless lives. With both sides hunting them and no one left to trust, the lines between duty and something far more dangerous begin to blur.
Enemies by circumstance. Partners by necessity. Something more by mistake.

Summary
While Commander Rynn Shepard deals with the most critical of missions, it falls to the good people over at N7 Spec Ops to hold the line in various smaller, but still important battlefields all over the galaxy. This is the story of one of their squads, codename Haelius, after the last satellite in the turian system of Taetrus to transmit data before being destroyed by the Reapers, providing the Hierarchy with its first advance warning of the coming invasion. Follow the adventures of Evelyn Rodgers, spunky Alliance combat engineer, and her teammates.
This is a novelization of M3 multi-player. I love Garrus, but I had inspiration for a different kind of turian romance, and I didn't want to distort everyone's favorite vigilante, so I just had to make up my own lovable spiky alien and his Alliance woman.
This story is a spin-off of Turians do not lie, and will feature a cameo by everyone's favorite crew.

Man of Steel - a slightly alternative approach to the movie by adkal

Summary
Using 2013's 'Man of Steel' as the basic template, here's a slightly different approach. It's not as 'non-linear' as the movie (in the first instalment).
Note: a lot of the movie's existing scenes are not changed and take place in and around these alternate scenes.

What Makes a Warrior? by Socially_Inept
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types

Summary
Jane Shepard got out of the Alliance military after losing her platoon on Akuze, and joined the diplomatic corps. She secured the release of hundreds of hostages as an ambassador to the Batarian Hegemony after the Skyllian Blitz, and took part in risky in-person negotiations before, during and after Torfan.
She dedicated herself to ending wars. But when the establishment of a Batarian consulate on the contested colony of Eden Prime is interrupted by a Geth invasion, she finds herself at the centre of a war for all organic life - one which seems to end with annihilation, even in victory.
Which is unfortunate, but she is nothing if not adaptable.
I'm just going to keep adding tags as and when the story gets to them. The Femshep/Ashley relationship is going to be platonic and snarky, but it might turn into romance if I think they vibe. Either way, Ash is bi but doesn't know it. Batarians are assholes, but I'll try to give them more depth than they get in the games.
NOTE: This series now has a beta reader/HTML wiz in the talented Zivqa, who also writes! Check out their fics, they're good, I have some bookmarked. They've kindly gone through and reformatted all existing chapters.

Summary
After the Reaper War, Athena Shepard works to rebuild a fragile galaxy alongside Garrus, newly appointed as a Spectre. As the Citadel Council seeks true reconciliation between organics and synthetics, a new interspecies summit begins laying the foundation for lasting peace—until a mysterious energy surge from the edge of known space interrupts the fragile progress.
The anomaly is traced to the Architects, ancient cosmic judges older than the Precursors. Fearing a threat even greater than the Reapers, the Council forms a unified task force under Shepard, reuniting old allies and welcoming a Geth ambassador named Myriad. Investigating a massive Architect construct, the team learns they are being watched—and possibly tested. Amid the growing tension, Shepard and Garrus decide to build a family that reflects the unity they fight for.
Their mission leads them to a hidden Precursor world where organic and synthetic life exist in perfect harmony. There they meet Galeina and her people, who evolved in secret to escape the Architects’ cycle of judgment. The Precursors welcome the Normandy crew as the first step toward a new alliance—one that could redefine the galaxy’s future as it faces an ancient and impartial cosmic power.Bookmarked by Quinyc
