Summary
The second installment in Compromise Who I Am, a Mass Effect trilogy novelization. This piece covers the events of Mass Effect 2, as seen through Shepard's eyes.
This series will include a slow-burn romance with Garrus, and features a darker, more complex Shepard. Some dialogue is lifted directly from the game and expanded upon, but this story will mostly be filling in the gaps and exploring a struggling Shepard who finds herself now carrying the weight of an entire universe's future on her shoulders.
As this story continues, it will include darker themes and non-explicit sexual content. There may also be additional relationships that develop over the course of the journey. All chapters will be tagged appropriately. Reading the first installment of this series is not required, but is encouraged.
Comprise Who I Am is a series about pain and healing. It is a story about learning to trust, falling in love with your best friend, and about handling the worst parts of yourself together.

Summary
Good news everyone!
I have concocted a story which you all can take part in helping shape. In essence, this is a choose your own adventure style Shakarian fic, with a twist. Here's how it'll go: I will set up the first act so that everyone has a grounding of the base story at play. At the end of each act, you all will be given a choice. These are not in-game choices, but my own. Every choice will determine character arcs, the ending, as well as the epilogue/post war landscape. Why, you may ask, would I do this? Because I'm crazy, that's why.
I left the tags fairly generic because there's a whole host of different directions that this could end up going down, from sweet and fluffy, to angsty as all get out. It is also highly likely that there will be spice/smut, but it's not guaranteed. Y'all will be the ones to determine where this goes. That being said, this is wholly dependent upon engagement. You are welcome to sit back and see where this journey takes us. But if you want to participate, you'll need to drop a comment. I am leaving the comments open for everyone, guests and members alike, so have at it.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, I hope you'll tag along because this should be a ton of fun!Series

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.
