Summary
Several years have passed since the end of the Reaper War. Shepard is one of the last remaining Spectres. Stumbling into a plot that could have serious consequences to the continued galactic peace that has reigned since she destroyed the Reapers, will she be able to stop it?
She has to also contend with the interference of her late husband's son, Kolyat, who thinks it's time she moves on with her life. He asks for help from his friend Feron, another Drell, to help Shepard over her feelings of tu fira by talking with her. Feron has something else in mind, and with a little help from Liara, he might just have his wish come true.

Summary
Alivia is cold, sentenced to a life devoid of all feelings. Cut off from everything that once defined her, she's trapped in a state of detached logic, haunted by the distant echoes of what it meant to feel alive. She’s left to wander in a numb existence with nothing but the memories of emotions, and no way to comprehend them.
Cullen left a life of service to take up a life of repentance. Cut off from the dreams of his youth and the very substance that gave him purpose he’s left to atone for his sins in the only way he knows how, by throwing himself into his work.
His fragile peace is shattered when a woman he never thought he would see again shows up in Haven to serve alongside him. He’s forced to confront his demons and the crimes of his past every time he looks at her as the sunburst on her forehead threatens to burn down his life.

“I will devour you,” he promised. There were teeth in those words, gnashing, gleaming and sharp. “Would you like to run?"Beta'd by Iron_Angel

Welcome to the Snark Side: A Shakarian Trip by Rosebud1773
Fandom Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
22 Mar 2021
Summary
A retelling of the trilogy that fleshes out many of the in-between moments that were lost to the games. This take on an Earthborn Adept version of Commander Shepard contains slight alternate universe markers as well as original characters to help fill in some major plot holes in the original narrative. The characters have been fleshed out with in-depth thoughts and feelings in regards to their circumstances and environments. Shepard remains somewhat non-descript so as to allow readers to insert their own description of the female version for more enjoyment.

Summary
Jane Shepard is a bounty hunter with a past she'd prefer to put behind her. A chance encounter with C-sec officer Garrus Vakarian presents her with an opportunity too good to pass up. Partnering up to allow Shepard better intel, and Garrus a chance at bringing in criminals outside the limits of C-sec's red tape, Shepard eventually finds herself confronting a ghost from her past, and unwittingly falling for the plucky young C-sec agent.

Summary
Commander Alison Jane (AJ) Shepard has lived through more than most: the batarian raid on Mindoir, the slaughter on Akuze, and the ruthless campaign at Torfan. Now, as the galaxy teeters on the edge of annihilation, she faces not only the Reapers but the weight of her past and the choices that threaten to unmake her. This story is a novelization of Mass Effect, following Shepard’s journey through familiar missions, dialogue, and relationships as seen in the game.
As the weight of her decisions threatens to crush her, Shepard is forced to confront the pieces of herself she thought she’d buried. When she finds a shy, innocent, asari maiden trapped in a stasis bubble surrounded by prothean ruins, she finds herself opening up to someone. Balancing the tension of galactic war with fleeting moments of tenderness, Shepard must navigate the fine line between duty and desire, her past and her future. Along the way, old wounds resurface, friendships deepen, and love grows in the unlikeliest of places. But even in the darkest moments, there’s room for humor, hope, and the stubborn defiance that makes Shepard who she is. It is a story of survival, healing, and the relationships that keep us fighting—against all odds.

Summary
Delia Shepard, traumatized and addicted to red sand after Torfan, has found a quiet-- albeit boring-- life on the Citadel as a Drugs and Trafficking Officer. When one of her informants is found dead in an alley, she's forced to team up with Detective Garrus Vakarian: an unfeeling, stiff, full of himself douche. But as they work together, they find that a dead mole is the least of their issues. Trouble is brewing, enemies are at every turn. And to top it all off, Shepard has sworn off friendships completely after the Alliance. So why can she barely function without Vakarian?
In another dark corner of the Citadel, Archangel has decided to sign up for an anonymous sex club. What's the worst that can happen? He's matched with a human he knows only as the Commander, someone who he can demand to obey his every rule and whim. As their meetings progress, Archangel finds himself getting closer and closer to the Commander. Can lust turn into something more substantial?
Essentially, the plot of Mass Effect if Shepard was not on Eden Prime, mixed with the love child of You've Got Mail and Fifty Shades of Grey.
