Summary
Garrus Vakarian y Ashley Williams eran individuos muy diferentes, comenzando con el hecho de que él era un Turiano y ella era una humana.
Sin embargo, tenían dos cosas en común; lo primero era que ambos querían demostrar su valía. Lo segundo era qué estaban metidos en una misión qué definiría el destino de la Vía Láctea.
Esto, sin qué ellos lo vieran venir, los uniría en más de un sentido

Summary
She'd been over it countless times in her head for weeks now—what it meant, how it felt, how it continued to make her feel... The kiss remained inscrutable. But she couldn't shake her persisting desire for more. There wasn't a day that went by since then where Aria didn't cross her mind—particularly at the end of the day, alone in her quarters...

Summary
2185: Shore leave takes Garrus Vakarian and Marika Shepard to Palaven. Home, family, and a confrontation Garrus has been avoiding. Visiting Valeria brings joy and hope, but it all comes crashing down during the dinner with Castis, pushing Shepard to her breaking point.
Patience gone and needing answers, things finally explode into raw honesty… and some good use of the hotel room as they navigate how to fix things before it’s too late.
Themes: Awkwardness, tension, finally smut, drama. You don’t have to have read the previous stories to follow along, unless you really crave context.

Shepard always thought she'd seen it all, and the Universe *always* had a way of proving her wrong at every turn. But this time it was different. Nothing could have prepared her for this... (A found family re-telling of Mass Effect 3 that explores the question: What if the kid from the vent was just a kid?) Rating upgraded from T to M due to mentions of alcohol. No smut.

Summary
It wasn’t perfect, but it was ours. The guns went quiet, the fleets came home, and for the first time in a long time, we thought maybe the galaxy had learned something.
We built a life in the calm that followed.
Mornings filled with laughter instead of alarms. Evenings spent watching the light fade behind Palaven’s hills. We told ourselves the scars were healing, that the nightmares would fade, that the ghosts we buried would stay buried.They didn’t.
This is not the story of the heroes who saved the galaxy.
It is the story of what came after — of the love that endured when everything else burned away, and of the fire that would ignite a new war.Because when the world crumbles, when the heavens fracture and the ashes fall,
all that remains —
all that matters —
is who we hold on to.3rd Book in the After Trilogy.

Summary
Shepard wakes up on Mars just before the mission to Eden Prime with all the memories of the few years leading up to the Reaper invasion, and all the way up to firing the Crucible as if she lived it. Maybe she did, maybe these memories are an echo from another time line. Either way, Shepard is not going to let this opportunity pass her by. The only problem is, she remembers all the precious relationships she'd forged and no one else does. Will they be lost forever in her efforts to save their lives?

Summary
First contact was supposed to be historic.
Instead, it was a war.Two years into the conflict between humanity and the Turian Hierarchy, Commander Stella Shepard—callsign Valkyrie—has become one of the Alliance’s most effective weapons: a biotic vanguard who wins battles with precision, restraint, and an inconvenient habit of asking why.
On the other side of the front, Garrus Vakarian—Centurion—is tasked with stopping her. He studies her patterns, counters her moves, and begins to suspect that the war itself is being handled with catastrophic short-sightedness.
Somewhere between enemy fire, illicit communications, and one reckless, impossible meeting on Omega, respect becomes understanding—and understanding becomes something far more dangerous.
When command decides that ending the war requires annihilation, not restraint, both are forced to choose between loyalty and conscience, survival and truth.
This is a story about first contact done wrong, the cost of obedience, and what happens when two people decide the future is worth risking everything for—even each other.
