Summary
From the moment Astarion first laid eyes on Aaliya, he was confident he had her measure: she was a self-righteous paladin, an idealist fool. A hero, some might call her.
But he'd learned the hard way that heroes were for fairy tales. No one had ever cared enough to save him, after all.
Still, she could be useful. If he told her every pretty thing she wanted to hear and made her fall for him, maybe she would offer him some protection. Maybe he could even get her to care about him long enough to help him kill Cazador and put an end to all of his fears permanently.
And if he could break her heart at the end of it all, once he had everything he needed from her, even better.
At least, that was the plan.

Summary
Commander Tessa Shepard has been struggling to balance her position as humanity's first Spectre with her ties to the Alliance military. How is she supposed to represent humanity when the Council doesn't trust her to operate freely? Her newest mission to take down a Blue Suns base could be just the opportunity she needs to take some initiative and prove she's ready for more freedom.
Former C-Sec officer and Spectre dropout Garrus Vakarian dropped everything to follow Tessa Shepard across the galaxy. It's exactly the opportunity he was hoping for to do some good without red tape holding him back, but it's not quite what he was expecting; for a Spectre, Shepard has a lot of rules. They may not see eye-to-eye on everything, but maybe they can both afford to bend a little.
Part of an AU with no Reapers.

Summary
After a raid on a batarian terrorist’s hideout, Spectre Tessa Shepard receives an ominous message promising her eternal slumber. She figures it's just another unfounded death threat from a batarian with a grudge; nothing serious to worry about. But when she and her partner, Garrus Vakarian, attend a charity ball on the Citadel, Shepard and dozens of other high-profile human guests are exposed to a toxin that induces a deep sleep, baffling doctors and scientists.
It's up to Garrus to save his princess from the curse… and true love's kiss probably isn't going to cut it.
A Sleeping Beauty retelling written for the fairy tale themed MEBB2022. Part of an established no-Reaper AU, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
Shepard sent him away so she could run for the beam and save the galaxy, but Garrus Vakarian won't be left behind that easily.
--
I would do just about anything for her if she asked.
Now, though, she's ordering me to sit on the sidelines for the most important mission of our lives, to wait around and hope she can handle whatever is up there on her own. I guess I've found the one thing I won't do for her.
A good turian would follow a bad order from his commander, but I've never been a good turian. I'll be damned if I start being one now.

Summary
[BREAKING NEWS: Alien AI-Controlled Ship Makes Contact in Salarian Space!]
“Alarms rang throughout the system of Antilin yesterday when an alien ship bearing a strong AI signature triggered fears of a Geth attack. Renko Turwin, Director of Near-Orbital Security, explained: "When evidence of powerful AI heuristics was detected onboard, however we consulted Quarian scientific advisors who assured us that the signals failed to match any known Geth signatures."
According to Turwin, the biggest surprise came next: "The ship's intelligence then communicated with us. It asked us to calculate the value of Pi to the first quadrillion digits. Some 20 questions followed after that, all of them beyond our realm of expertise. We're currently awaiting advice from outside consultants before proceeding. As yet, the ship matches no known alien species."
A super massive vessel appears at the edge of known space, offering advanced technologies in exchange for emergency aid... but the data proves harder to retrieve than anyone could have expected. While deep in the digital world of the alien servers, a multinational tactical group gets more than they bargained for when a virus turns reality into fairy tale.

Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

Summary
Garrus was the nerdy kid at the Citadel school who got beat up because of who his dad was. Shepard was the scrappy, angry duct rat who stepped in to save him. Garrus fell in love instantly.
Their relationship changes a lot over the years, and so does the world. It feels like a game he doesn't know how to play, much less win. He has no choice but to keep trying.
Childhood friends AU. Completed. Spoilers up to and including Mass Effect 3. Explicit sex. Other trigger warnings in chapter descriptions.
