Summary
A former Vault-dweller and a ghoul bounty hunter head northeast on I-15, figuring each other out along the way. Also, unbeknownst to the latter, the former has the Wild Wasteland perk...so they're in for an interesting trip.
"Vaultie, I've been wandering the wastes for two hundred years, and I have never, EVER seen as much weird-ass shit as I have since meeting you."
(Now with illustration in chapters 3 and 5! :DD)

Summary
“So you want me to marry Cooper Howard?”
He shakes his head, laughing under his breath. “Marry? No, no, lets play that by ear,” he assures you. “What we want — need — you two to do is make it look like you’ve been having an affair.” You must look like you’ve seen a ghost. This is insane. “Explains his divorce, gets people talking about you two as a pair, gets eyes on this movie you’re filming together — now, don’t go outright saying it, of course. We just wanna’ make people read between the lines, get them curious enough to get them into the theater to see the chemistry on the screen...”
---
When Cooper Howard finds himself scandalised by not just divorce, but allegations of anti-American sentiment, it falls to the studio system to try and squeeze what they can from him before he finds himself blacklisted. Fortunately, the only thing the press loves more than exposing a commie is a celebrity scandal -- and the studio has just the woman in mind to play the role of the other woman. Being seen with Cooper Howard while filming your breakthrough movie to get people talking? Easy. Doing the right thing when your career and dreams are on the line? ...Jury's out on that one, champ.

Summary
A colony slaughtered, it's citizens transformed. A Spectre dead as well, and the Geth suddenly, unexpectedly far past the Perseus Veil.
Garrus Vakarian took Saren's actions on Eden Prime very personally. He dropped his entire life in the recycler for a chance at answers, and preferably justice.That's not normal. Unless, perhaps, the losses and betrayals were personal.
Maybe... they were.
Begin the tale of Mass Effect a little early, starting in 2167, T-16 years until Eden Prime.
A story of talented people who are divergent, alien, heroes of their own stories, and victims of the times. Featuring: Caffeine addictions. Everyday life as a Spectre. Unconventional interrogations. Boring council meetings. Old frenemies. Ancient artifacts. Life after death. The people behind the legends. Bullets. Many, many bullets.

Summary
“Hey Hermes!” The ambient suspicion level in the Rec ratcheted up significantly. Kapoor was disturbingly cheerful. “We’ve sent you some mission updates in the data dump, but Mitch and I wanted to personally let you know—” Mitch visibly rolled his eyes in the background. “—That thanks to some…strong suggestions from the White House, and on Annie and Director Sanders’ recommendation, we’ve started releasing Watney’s Mars logs to the public.”
