Summary
Deep underground, underneath a church, Deacon is told the tale of a Vault near Sanctuary Hills, and of potential value hidden there. Deeper Underground, X6-88 is given a mission: Find the Vault. Report back often. Kill anyone who interrupts this directive.
When a woman crawls out, 210 years after the bombs dropped, both observers are shocked. They're even more shocked when the "Vault Dweller" begins to survive in the irradiated remains of Boston. But they have their assignments, and they each have the growing knowledge that they aren't the only ones tailing the Sole Survivor of Vault 111, because the other is as well.

Summary
Seph has been turning Brooks' words over in her head...the implications of Grace Shepard and her tendency to use people. But she's been watching Grace, too, and she sees the opposite. When an opportunity presents itself to spend a moment alone with the only man in the galaxy that the real Shepard seems to love, well, Seph doesn't think twice. Perhaps she should have.

Summary
Grace Shepard has been promoted to Commander of the SSV Normandy, serving under Captain David Anderson. While on the ship’s Shakedown mission, she and her squad (comprised of Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko and Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams) uncover a plot by a turian Spectre, Saren, to destroy free will and enslave the entirety of organic life to a race of Artificial Intelligence known as the Reapers. In light of this discovery, Shepard must build a crew and race against time to stop Saren from achieving his goal. Standing in her way are armies of geth, an AI collective working for Saren. Can Shepard and her crew stop the machine overlords? Or will she die on the precipice of humanity’s fall?

Summary
The doctor was not in the medbay, and Grace allowed herself a moment to pull her shit together. She’d sensed the warmth in the non-human’s mind when they’d melded, but it didn’t connect to anything. The Asari’s unease clearly meant something else. And, what about the biotic Lieutenant? Was she giving off some kind of signal? No matter how her body responded, Grace didn’t have time for this. Saren was out there. Saren was the mission.

Written for Spectre Sorrows 2025 about Grace. Non-canon obvi but a really great job with characterization. :)
