Summary
The red wave of the Crucible changed everything. It destroyed the Reapers, disabled the mass relays, and apparently claimed the life of Commander Shepard. But nothing in this new galaxy is quite what it seems. As humanity tears itself apart and new threats gain power in the shadows of conflict, an impossible discovery will reunite the legendary crew of the Normandy for a mission beyond hope itself.

Summary
Rayne Shepard dreamed of leaving Earth for good. As a kid, she thought she could be a hero amongst the stars. In some ways, the little kid was right, but being a hero wasn't all sunshine and roses. Sometimes it meant living with things too heavy to carry alone.
Liara T'Soni had a peaceful life doing exactly what she wanted to do as a young asari maiden. As fate would have it, her luck changed completely when the geth attacked, and she was rescued by a young Alliance commander and her crew.

Summary
Back from the dead, Shepard is thrust back into the driver's seat, leading the charge against the Collectors and the Reapers while the rest of the galaxy questions her sanity and the validity of the threats against them - just like old times.
ME2 Novelization - I started going AU in part one, Do The Impossible, so if you're just jumping in, some things won't make sense unless you've read the first installment.
Former Kaiden/Fem Shep romance although it didn't get quite that far in Do The Impossible.
Colony background, both the war hero profile as well as the ruthless profile
Shep was a soldier through and through for Do The Impossible - but all that is about to change.

Turn Left by lilmissnatcat24

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.

Out of Eden Series by lilmissnatcat24
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
26 Jul 2025
Summary
"A lesser mind would have been destroyed."
But a lesser mind had been destroyed, decimated. Delia Shepard was nothing but a shell after Torfan, she was a body with no real purpose. That was, of course, until she found a dead salarian in an alleyway."At the end of the day, I don't think I'm a very good turian."
Garrus didn't want those words to be true. He wanted to be loyal. He wanted to be dedicated, contrite, cold, calculating. He wanted to be brave and decisive and individualistic. But he was none of those things-- not at least, without her.Shepard and Garrus, detective AU. Events of Mass Effect had Shepard not been on Eden Prime.

Summary
There was no Alliance manual for trying to drag two trillion people fighting and screaming through absolute certain death, and there was nothing about what to do when you unexpectedly got spat out on the other side, either. And there was *definitely* nothing about what to do if your hot, older-than-you, currently missing-in-action boyfriend knocked you up at some stage in that sequence of events.

Summary
None of this was the plan. Not the last night of shore leave with the handsome stranger. Not the covert mission to Eden Prime with a shakedown crew. Not a Prothean beacon.
And definitely not everything that came after...
A Nihlus Kryik fix-it, because we were robbed at gunpoint (literally). Beta'd by the lovely Iron_Angel.
NSFW chapters are marked for your convenience.-

Summary
“The first words they say to you are tattooed somewhere on your body.” Shepard explained.
Garrus blinked, his subvocals pitching in disbelief. “That’s… so inefficient.”
“Alright, how do Turians find their soulmates?” She demanded.
“On the civilized side of the galaxy-“ she gave a rather undignified snort, “we find our bondmates through song.”
-
The Council has called for a peace summit following the disastrous First Contact War but neither side seems ready to make amends. It's up to Shepard and Garrus to bridge the gap if their fated romance has any hope of blossoming.

Summary
Long before the Citadel Council, before the Protheans, even before the mysterious Inusannon... the galaxy was not silent.
An ancient, ferocious race emerged - not by chance, but by necessity. Born from the will of nature itself, they were forged to challenge an enemy that had disrupted the natural cycle of life. For over 100,000 years, these apex beings - predators perfected by extinction - waged a war of attrition against the Reapers. Their story was lost, buried beneath the ruins of forgotten empires. This is the chronicle of that war. Of evolution weaponized. Of a species born to break the cycle. This is the rise of the Viltrumites. They were not created to preserve life.
They were born to fight for it.

Summary
The Reapers have begun their cycle of extinction upon a galaxy unprepared for them. The fate of Earth, and all life, rests in the hands of one man. Shepard must unite everyone to create a galactic armada to fight a war unprecedented in scale against a foe that has never been beaten. However, the Illusive Man, and his rogue organization, Cerberus, have other goals in mind...

Summary
Ten years have passed since the war. With the last mass relay built, some of the original Normandy crew gather for its activation. But something goes horribly awry, and an explosion opens a rift. The Normandy is sucked into an Einstein-Rosen bridge, and Shepard wakes up later to a silent CIC. The crew is missing, and just outside the cockpit window, a mass relay is in view. The only problem is that it looks similar to the relays destroyed during the war.
Sucked through space and time into another universe three years before the Reaper Invasion. What will Shepard change? How will it change her?
