Summary
She shot the energy conduit.
A brilliant burst of light blinded her, and she felt her body burning up in the microseconds it took for the energy wave to hit her. Time seemed to slow to a crawl. She hardly understood what Vendetta meant, 'whence it all began', how it would destroy the Reapers, or if her death would be painful. She hoped not; she thought she deserved a little more than that, after all that she'd sacrificed.
She smiled as it all went dark.
Lieutenant Commander Janine Shepard woke with a start, her lips parched, and her hair matted in sweat. She brought up her omni-tool and displayed the time: 5:27, 17th of March, 2183.

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.

Summary
This is exactly what it looks like, lore-based fan-fiction basically coming up with the histories and explanations for the various weapons of Mass Effect in the model of Forgotten Weapons. Shepard is bored in the post-war world, so they've decided to start archiving all of the weapons in the galaxy. Yes, ALL OF THE WEAPONS. Anyways, this is the sort of stupid nonsense that will appeal exclusively to people who read every last codex entry like the maniacs we are, but I don’t mind. I like creating lore like this and I like Mass Effect, and this is a corner of the universe with a lot of unexplained questions. There might be some slight malleability on timelines for various reasons but I’ll try to stay within-timeline and within lore where I can. Things will broadly be in the time period after ME3 after a theoretical happy ending for Shepard, pick your favorite headcanon but if it comes up I’ll be referencing the Happy Ending Mod.

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?
