    Summary

    Even in an age of unity, war endures. In a universe where morality is seldom binary, true evil still exists.
    Commander Jane Shepard, a marine of the Frontier Systems Alliance, is about to learn this the hard way.

    What begins as a routine pickup on a distant yet serene frontier world draws her into a vast conspiracy woven across galaxies and aeons.
    An ancient enemy, purposefully hidden, the apex of life and synthesis of organic and synthetic.
    A distant false prophet shaping the darkness into a perfect, Final Shape.
    And the sins of humanity—twisted, weaponised, and spiralling toward atrocity.

    The peace humanity bled in the war with the Covenant for is crumbling.
    To save the future, Shepard must face horrors born from the past… and the shadows that still lurk within humanity itself.

    Summary

    No decorum. No morals. No inhibitions.

    Commander Victoria 'Vikky' Shepard has never, will never, and could never be described as selfless by those who truly know about her. The less of things and people she cares about is low. There's far more to her than the public image.

    Vikky gets what she wants.

    Always.

    This is a rewrite of Mass Effect 2. In my first fic, Veni, I introduced several new original characters and put a twist on multiple storylines. Reading Veni first isn't necessary per se, but I do still reccomend it to provide background context. I have done my best to put my own spin on things, expanding minor characters and plot lines.

    Summary

    Alexis'Shepard has fought her way through the ranks of the Alliance Navy, proving herself time and time again until she was the candidate they had for the Alliance's chance at a Spectre. How will she balance the demands of the Alliance on Commander Shepard and the expectations of humanity that carries vs her Quarian adoptive family, which has been her only family since she could remember?

    Long form story across the Mass Effect Trilogy and beyond. With what was supposed to be a slow burn romance between Shepard and Tali but someone poured eezo over one chapter which catapulted the timeline for the romance forward.

    Summary

    In most universes, the Gates opened in low orbit above Pluto, others to their equivalent, leading to a shared dimension connecting all of them together. For the worst, as it would seem, as the Imperium of Man uses this new beachhead to launch invasions into every sci-fi and fantasy universe one could imagine.

    Welcome to the Janus Chronicles. Where we will explore ever possibility that comes with this premise. And if you have any suggestions on what crossover event should happen, or what characters should meet, please let me know, and I will see if I can incorporate your idea into the story.

    Summary

    Through Aria’s network of secrets and debts, Shepard finds herself face-to-face with an unlikely ally, one she should have left buried with the rest of her past. It’s a setup. It has to be. But curiosity’s a dangerous thing, and some questions don’t stay dead.
    What starts as a quiet deal for information becomes an off-the-books mission into the shadows of her own history. Between loyalty and betrayal, love and command, Shepard discovers that the hardest war to win is the one fought against what still lives inside her.

    Summary

    The Weight of Survival begins in the aftermath of the Reaper War, when the Normandy crash-lands following the detonation of the Crucible. Commander Jane Shepard, gravely wounded and presumed dead, disappears in the chaos. What follows is a sweeping, character-driven narrative of grief, survival, and the fragile hope of rebuilding, not only for Shepard, but for her crew, her family, and the galaxy itself.

    At its heart, the story explores Shepard’s struggle to reclaim her identity after immense sacrifice, while grappling with her pregnancy—made possible through Leviathan-altered biology and the crushing symbolic weight placed on her by allies and leaders alike.

    Summary

    Jane Shepard survives the gutters of a post‑Contact Earth until a flare of emerging biotics pulls her into a Council‑funded research institute on the Citadel. There she meets Spectre Saren Arterius, the turian legend whose stalled hunt for Dr. Qian’s Prothean relic drives him to other means of staunching humanity's advancement: guardianship of the human prodigy. Through shrewd persuasion, he takes on the orphan as his ward, intent on shaping her into a model Spectre for Council display, even as he grips the unseen reins in his talons.

    Saren turns her childhood days into field drills, war‑room simulations, and lessons in diplomatic knife‑work. He controls nearly every aspect of her life, leaving Shepard one private refuge: a risky friendship with hot‑headed cadet Garrus Vakarian — until her almost-father severs that, too. Learning what it means to be a person proves harder than functioning as a tool, yet Shepard can't help but to question her identity. When the long‑silent Reapers finally stir, Shepard must decide whether she is Saren’s instrument, the Alliance’s champion, or something forged in the tight space between obedience and revolt. The galaxy’s stance — kneeling or standing — will turn on her choice.

    Summary

    Следы на песке под синим небом сотрутся ветром пару минут спустя. Так и от нас, наших миров и историй однажды не останется ничего – у Вселенной для этого достаточно времени. AU, в котором человечество развилось на цикл раньше и вышло в космос во времена деспотичной Протеанской Империи.
    В каноне Явик говорил, что его циклу не хватило объединителя. Не хватило Шепард. Что ж, вот она. Шепард ненавидит политику Империи. Империя ненавидит Шепард. Жнецы идут.

    Summary

    She’d stopped the Reapers. The citadel was destroyed. No rebuilding. In their last efforts to kill Shepard, in a big, blinding flash of light, they sent her elsewhere. Now, a hundred years in the past, in a different universe, with gods, heroes, villains, and a certain red-helmet wearing vigilante, Shepard navigates through the unfamiliar territory. The past catching up to her.

    Would they accept her if they knew the truth? What she was? What she’d done?

    Summary

    The story is part of my Mass Effect series called Shadows of the Corrupt. It follows a mission where Kaidan and Shepard gradually grow closer — and eventually get together — in a fun and lighthearted way.
    This is my first time writing spice — the sex scene comes in chapter two. I hope you enjoy it! Translating it was definitely a challenge

    This story takes place before the events of the first story in the series.

     

    Liara smiled. “I don’t see why that should be a problem.”
    “You underestimate how little I attend social events.”
    Joker laughed. “Shepard at a gala, smiling and flirting—I need to see that.”
    Shepard sighed, then glanced at Kaidan. “Fine. If we’re doing this, we’re doing it right. But let me be clear: I’m approaching this professionally.”
    Kaidan smirked. “Professionally holding hands?”
    “Just stop talking.”

    Summary

    Shepard is a force of nature, no matter the version. This one, however, is also a renegade bag of dicks. I want my preferred ending, damn it, even if I have to beg, bribe, and blackmail to make him even consider a paragon course of action.

    Oh, God no, I've become his Jiminy Cricket, haven't I?

     

    A self-insert story following the games, with some divergence, and a romance with Shepard. I couldn't find any, and figured I just had to write my own.

    Summary

    She's the Alliance's best spy and secret weapon. He's the one of the Council's newest Spectres and ex-Blackwatch operative. And if they don't manage to cause the next intergalactic incident from this assignment, they should both be showered in accolades from the Council.

    But intergalactic cooperation is never that simple, is it?

    Steamy, poignant, and full of action, this fic explores the darker and more complex version of female Shepard in a spy AU, and the space boyfriend we all know and love.

    This is my first fic, but I've been dreaming of a spy thriller in the Mass Effect world for SO long. Can't wait to share this version of our reluctant, redheaded hero with you <3 .

    Summary

    There are no winners in the war against the Reapers. It only takes, and takes, and takes. For some their lives, others their humanity, and others still their entire way of living.

    But the alternative is much worse.
