Summary
Organic life was but a random set of mutations, air that had to be conducted to be most efficient. But the structure that kept it in place was showing clear signs of erosion; and through small cracks the wild wind escaped the established path.
Inspired by "A Study in Organics" by Rushofpanic and less so by "Limbo" and "Mass Effect: Synthesis", stories over at fanfiction.net by pirate kit and Jade Tatsu respectively.
Title taken from a song by Ultravox.

Summary
Admiral Anderson is dead. The Illusive Man is dead. The Crucible has docked with the Citadel. The Reaper War is almost at an end. All that is standing between Commander John Shepard and the continued existence of all life as he knows it is one decision, three choices. Destroy the Reapers. Control the Reapers. Or Synthesis of all organic and synthetic life.
Shepard knows there is only one choice that will guarantee the end of the Reaper's vicious cycles, even though it is a choice that will likely end his own life, denying him the future he so craves with his beloved Miranda Lawson. As his decision is made, he finds that the lines between life and death, and dreams and reality are more intertwined than he could ever have imagined. And yet, despite everything - the war, the death, his injuries - one thing, one person, one dream remains steadfast in his mind.

Summary
The Catalyst was the one presenting the options. Even if it really wanted to give her the opportunity to break the cycle, it could only provide the solutions it could come up with. And this was the "great intelligence" that decided to solve the synthetic revolution problem by BECOMING the synthetic revolution problem. There was a chance Shepard could actually be cleverer than it.

Попытка исправление идиотского канона со светофором и некий возврат к дрюкарпишиновской задумке.
Примечания
С 2012 года я ненавижу писак, которые испогании любимую вселенную. Я ненавижу издателей за то, что они торопят разработчиков. Я долго лелеяла в себе надежду, что смогу воплотить то, что задумала.
Моя работа выглядит несколько схематично. Для этого у меня были свои причины - надеюсь, что вы сможете понять их дочитав до конца.Если вдруг моя работа натолкнет Вас самих написать что-то по мотивам моего фанфика, пролоджить или расширить его, то кидайте ссылку в комментарии (а я буду эти ссылки потом выносить в шапку)
- Фанфик "Последние мгновения войны / Выше моих сил" происходит параллельно и дополняет историю в случае если Шепард является женщиной, а её возлюбленный это Гаррус.

Summary
Shadowhunters with Mass Effect plot AU. No need to know Mass Effect lore to enjoy.
Clary Fray has had a life full of adventure ever since she was given her first mission 3 years ago. She has managed to ends wars and bring all the Shadow World together to fight against her father, Valentine Morgenstern, who had sought to cleanse the Earth of all downworlders by using Reapers, a creature that destroys advanced beings. It hadn't been easy, a lot of good people had been lost along the way, but it had all lead to this moment.
This moment in which she is in front of Lilith's likeness, the Catalyst, the hardest decision presented in front of her. There are a thousand things to be thinking about and, yet, Isabelle weights the heaviest on her mind.
It makes things clearer somehow.
