Summary

Dealing with his ex-girlfriend, her turian lover, and the Cerberus robot that almost killed him would have been a challenge, if it wasn't for a pleasant distraction in the form of shuttle pilot Steve Cortez. Steve is finally opening up to the possibility of new friendships, or even love, despite still grieving the loss of his husband.

The Three Laws of Synthetic Affection by CrimsonShield75 for greygerbil

Summary
Isaac Shepard got the raw end of the deal. He chose what he thought was best for the galaxy to stop the Reaper War, only to be vilified and essentially run out of his own home. He took to space to escape, content to travel the stars by himself for the rest of his life, until he receives an intriguing message. An invitation to Rannoch sets him on a very different course, with someone he had never expected to see again.

Summary
A retelling of the romance between Thane Krios and Shepard.

Summary
A continuation of Drowning in You: Part One and Interludes. A retelling of Mass Effect 3 in a Thane Lives AU. In this story, Thane joins the fight against the Reapers, and nothing could keep him from Shepard’s side in the war to come.
Mixed Thane and Shepard POVs, with other brief character POVs as necessary. Smut chapters marked with * because sometimes you just want spice, and I respect that. Live your dream.
Contains game dialogue. I own nothing from BioWare.

Summary
Shepard had asked James about his love life once. Aside from a couple vaguely disappointing experiments back in San Diego before he enlisted, he didn’t have much of one to speak of. And honestly? He didn’t feel like he was missing out. Work was fulfilling, and now there was the war and all, and there just hadn’t been anyone that sparked his interest.
Then Esteban's smiling face drifted to the forefront of his thoughts yet again.
Until now? A small voice in the back of his mind asked.Series

Summary
This story is mainly an experiment with writing different kinds of kinks into smut because life is too short to not enjoy some smut. There are warnings at the beginning of each smut scene, explaining what kind of kink is involved, if you're not into it, then skip to the next chapter. I do not know where I am going with this story but we dive right in so if smut is not your thing, then do not read.
This is AU as fuck. Shepard doesn’t join the Alliance and Thane is darker and deeply lost in his battle sleep.
Thane spares Shepard life when he mistakes her as the embodiment of the Goddess Arashu, who is the goddess of Motherhood and protection. When she is actually the embodiment the Goddess Kalahirao, the goddess of death.

Summary
She reached for her omni-tool and read over Thane's proposal again. His final summary promised new experiences, intimacy so deeply indulgent that he actually warned her that her standards might be permanently rearranged. He had even included the words "fucked within an inch of your life." She could practically read it in his voice, could almost feel his weight pressing down on her, kissing his venom into her mouth. Art feature from MessyDiabolical.

Summary
Commander Eden Shepard has been fighting the same fight for a while now. Too long, even. Time skips forward at random intervals, leaving her with more questions than answers. With her memories in a mess, she relies on Garrus to keep her grounded. Battling for the right to control her own life, Shepard races against time and the darkness raging inside her to find a way to stop the Reapers. Will she be able to save the galaxy, and herself, before it's too late?
Lots of fluff, angst, and sex. And plot.
Story is mostly canon-compliant, except for when it's not. Most of it takes place between missions. Enough steamy, explicit scenes to indulge your Shakarian pleasures.

Summary
Shepard survived the crucible blast, but barely. Her recovery is long and painful, made bearable by the support and grounding of her friends. The war may be over now, but the survivors are already finding new obstacles on their path to a stable galaxy. The crew may have split up, but Shep can't help but get involved in their sh*t as they try to navigate their recovering worlds.
This is my first (published) fic and it's my personal coping mechanism for the end of the trilogy. Initially follows Shepard's recovery and her journey to accepting her life post-Reaper war. Not planning any publishing schedule, just dumping scenes as they come to me.Series

Summary
Across the shuttlebay from him was a man that had already lost his husband to this vicious war. And here he stood, a man that would almost certainly lose his life to end it. Shepard chewed his lip, and was forced to ask himself how he had the audacity to even think of putting such a heartbreakingly good person through yet more hurt. All it would take was just an ounce of restraint on his part to spare Cortez that. And yet–
