What Makes a Warrior? by Socially_Inept

Summary
Jane Shepard got out of the Alliance military after losing her platoon on Akuze, and joined the diplomatic corps. She secured the release of hundreds of hostages as an ambassador to the Batarian Hegemony after the Skyllian Blitz, and took part in risky in-person negotiations before, during and after Torfan.
She dedicated herself to ending wars. But when the establishment of a Batarian consulate on the contested colony of Eden Prime is interrupted by a Geth invasion, she finds herself at the centre of a war for all organic life - one which seems to end with annihilation, even in victory.
Which is unfortunate, but she is nothing if not adaptable.
I'm just going to keep adding tags as and when the story gets to them. The Femshep/Ashley relationship is going to be platonic and snarky, but it might turn into romance if I think they vibe. Either way, Ash is bi but doesn't know it. Batarians are assholes, but I'll try to give them more depth than they get in the games.
NOTE: This series now has a beta reader/HTML wiz in the talented Zivqa, who also writes! Check out their fics, they're good, I have some bookmarked. They've kindly gone through and reformatted all existing chapters.

Stopping a meteor from crashing into Terra Nova is complicated enough without a furious batarian woman ending up as your prisoner.
For the Butcher of Torfan, batarians are a common enemy. However, this one may prove to be much, much more.

Summary
In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down.
Yet, survival comes at a cost. After all, heroes aren't born from happiness. And this tale delves into a dark, brutal world as we come to know the siblings who had the courage to endure and stand against the tide.
A story of resiliency, determination, and hope in a galaxy of disrepair. This fic will follow our young heroes through the conclusion of the Reaper War. Yet, this is not a simple retelling of the trilogy. The entire war will be rewritten in order to give our galactic villains, the Reapers, the respect they deserve.

I Only Want You (Gone) by femefatality
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
04 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
In 2157, humanity discovered they were not alone in the galaxy; it was a shocking, brutal truth for many as news of the incident broke out. Thirty years later, nothing has changed. In the throes of war, Shepard finds herself the last survivor of her unit, forced to make a final stand against the Turians, who are vying for control of the territory.
Things couldn't get worse than this- that's what she'd always tell herself when stuck in impossible situations. Little did she know, that was a lie. Things would get much worse, especially now that she was stuck with an enemy-turned-temporary-ally who'd surely stab her in the back.
