Summary
When Alistair, a video game reviewer for Denerim Weekly, signed up for the company's month-long carpooling scheme, he did not expect to be partnered up with fashion editor, Rozalia Amell: stubborn, high-maintenance, and tightly wound. Everything that he is not.
Two Hours. Thirty days. One very small car.
Personalities differ, playlists clash, and sarcastic jabs become their daily language. But somewhere between traffic jams and awkward silences, the two begin to see there’s more beneath the surface. Of each other, and maybe even themselves.

"Major Alenko. Happy to chat your face off about amp tools, alliance integrity, or tech improvements, but never willing to say a damn thing personal about himself. The guy was like an open book with the last two pages stuck together."
Snippets of Shenko as seen through James Vega's eyes.

Summary
Before the Normandy, before Eden Prime, there was Vancouver. Shepard spent years rebuilding herself and fell in love with the man who she thought she had a future with.
Until heartbreak forced her to walk away.
Now, two years after the end of their engagement, Shepard and Kaidan find themselves reunited aboard the Normandy, and time has done little to heal old wounds. Behind the distance and the years spent apart, neither has forgotten what they once meant to each other. Meanwhile, another man from her past refuses to let her go. As his obsession continues to follow her across the galaxy, Shepard comes across ancient artifacts containing knowledge from the unknown depths of history. The closer she gets to unraveling this mystery, the more she realizes some truths should stay hidden.
A rogue Spectre rises. Ancient entities begin to stir. And a biotic connection threatens to change everything she thought she knew about herself, the galaxy, and the man she never stopped loving. As old feelings reignite and the shadows of the past refuse to be left behind, Shepard and Kaidan must navigate war, betrayal, and secrets.
Some obsessions never die.
And some loves endure. To the stars and beyond.

Summary
After Pinnacle Station, Shepard wins an isolated retirement property on Intai’sei—a joke prize, until it isn’t. Between missions and across years, the place becomes a fixed point in the chaos: a silence she returns to, a future she dares to imagine.
Through war, death, and resurrection, Kaidan remains the center of her gravity—and she his. This is the story of what happens in the spaces between. The things unsaid, the moments unseen, and the quiet intersections where love holds steady, even when everything else breaks.

Summary
Finally, the day arrives that Shepard has been dreading. Actually dreading. She had been half-inclined to run, or hide, but two things stop her. Firstly, the fact that she’s fairly certain that there’s nowhere in the entire universe that Miranda couldn’t eventually find her, and secondly, she can’t stomach the idea of Mrs Alenko’s disappointed face.
“You look like you’re about to be tortured,” Miranda says as they walk up to the most imposing entrance in the fanciest of the Citadel shopping districts. “Relax. This is going to be fun.”
“Torture would be more relaxing. And fun,” Shepard mutters under her breath, but she forces herself into a neutral expression as the door opens and Miranda all but pushes her through it.
“Welcome to Kleinfeld,” greets the receptionist. “Do you have an appointment?”Series

Summary
2169. Humanity reached the stars, and met its limits.
Once a classified subject at Gagarin Station, Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko carries the quiet legacy of the BAaT program: a body engineered for power, a mind trained for restraint, and a past that still bleeds through the cracks.
When he’s reassigned to the SSV Normandy, he expects duty and protocol — not Commander Shepard, a woman as driven as she is volatile. The galaxy is changing, the Alliance is watching, and control has never been harder to keep.
It takes measured people to survive a war. Shepard is anything but measured.
A canon-compliant retelling of Mass Effect 1 through Kaidan Alenko’s eyes. From the shadows of Gagarin Station to the fire of the Citadel.

Summary
Sometimes, all it takes is one decision to change everything. For Nathaly Shepard, it was accepting a new post from her old mentor, and a mission that quickly turned into a war.
When a rogue turian threatens human civilization, Nathaly is forced to grow into the spectre she was perhaps never meant to be. Amid the chaos of burning colonies and hostile AI, she forges lifelong friendships, falls in love despite herself, and fights for a home she never thought she'd have- while a secret fifty thousand years old threatens to take it all away.
A reimagined Mass Effect 1, that keeps to the spirit of the canon while deepening connections between events and characters, delving into backstories, and expanding the narrative.

Summary
When Kaidan Alenko killed Vyrnnus at BAaT, he took off and never looked back. Living on the streets, he ran with gangs and lived life by his own rules. Or he did until the night Adonia Shepard walked into his favorite club. One look and he was hooked.
When Kaidan finds out Adonia was abducted by Cerberus he knows to get her back he'll have to face his past, but even that doesn't matter, because now that he found her, he'll set the world on fire before he'll allow her to be hurt.
AU where Kaidan is a renegade Biotic bad boy who hates the world until the world pushed Shepard into his path.
**Note** I am not big on writing smutty stories, this was a request from a friend and hopefully, I haven't botched it too horribly ;)
