Alternate Universe fan fic set ten years after the Battle of Earth based on my version of the Mass Effect trilogy ending.
The year is 2196.
After a costly victory against Reaper forces in the Sol system, the Citadel races struggle to rebuild. Earth bares the scars of the assault, and billions depend, more than ever, on the resources of the outer colonies. The other races fair little better. The fall of Thesia leads to a collapse of the Asari Republics. The surviving Matriachs now fight over the scraps. The salarians withdraw from galactic affairs leaving . Protecting Citadel space is now in the hands of the remnants of the turian and human fleets
In the Terminus Systems, former Alliance marine, Theodore “Theo” Thompson-Ramos leads a team of “security experts” against batarian slaver attacks on human colonies.
And over the horizon the millennial enemy looms, hidden in the dark recesses of the galaxy.
The tides of war may turn, but this conflict is far from over.

The Dream, always the same.
Sometimes I dream it often,
Sometimes I forget,
But It always comes back,
Always the same...
A Beam that shatters bedrock,
A Wail that pierces eardrums,
A Smell that fills nostrils,
Always the same...
My love Helena waving goodbye,
Happy face, sad smile,
Earth drowns in tears of joy and cries of pain,
Always the same...
The Beam sweeps forward,
The Infernal gears grind,
The City cries out,
The Fire engulfs us,
It is always, always, always the same....
