Summary
Jane Shepard survives the gutters of a post‑Contact Earth until a flare of emerging biotics pulls her into a Council‑funded research institute on the Citadel. There she meets Spectre Saren Arterius, the turian legend whose stalled hunt for Dr. Qian’s Prothean relic drives him to other means of staunching humanity's advancement: guardianship of the human prodigy. Through shrewd persuasion, he takes on the orphan as his ward, intent on shaping her into a model Spectre for Council display, even as he grips the unseen reins in his talons.
Saren turns her childhood days into field drills, war‑room simulations, and lessons in diplomatic knife‑work. He controls nearly every aspect of her life, leaving Shepard one private refuge: a risky friendship with hot‑headed cadet Garrus Vakarian — until her almost-father severs that, too. Learning what it means to be a person proves harder than functioning as a tool, yet Shepard can't help but to question her identity. When the long‑silent Reapers finally stir, Shepard must decide whether she is Saren’s instrument, the Alliance’s champion, or something forged in the tight space between obedience and revolt. The galaxy’s stance — kneeling or standing — will turn on her choice.

Summary
The Reapers are gone. The war is over. And Commander Shepard should be dead.
But when she wakes in the wreckage of the Citadel - scarred, altered, and hunted - Shepard discovers the battle never truly ended. Shadow operatives, AI cultists, and fractured remnants of galactic power now fight over the Reaper's secrets, and whatever imprint the Catalyst left behind… inside her.
As she reunites with old allies and uncovers a covert organization known only as Aegis, Shepard must outrun those trying to exploit her resurrection while confronting the horrifying possibility that she didn’t return alone.
Beside her is Garrus Vakarian, the sniper who stood with her through hell and back. But as they fight to hold the line once more, ghosts of war and the looming future test their partnership like never before. Because saving the galaxy again might mean risking the one thing they’ve both dared to hope for: a future together… maybe even a family.
In the aftermath of annihilation, what remains is forged not just by survival, but by choice.
(AKA there will be smut, alien romance, drama, canon-typical fights of epic proportions, and baby krogans galore)
