Mass Effect 3: A Matter of Pride (Act I) by ere_the_sun_rises (orphan_account)

Summary
What I’ve learned? Well, let’s just say that everyone fighting each other is a whole lot easier than trying to get everyone’s guns trained on the same opponent. Even with the threat of annihilation everyone still manages to be an ass, refuse to forget old grudges…but when you finally do get everyone to cooperate, fighting together seems to erase all the differences, turns us all into brothers and sisters. I’ve also learned that the warm fuzzies don’t come until much, much later- after you pick up all the scorched pieces of an old life and learn, slowly, with the others around you, how to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, and into a new age and day. Before there can be ash, though, there’s rubble. And to make rubble is death, and destruction... War.
Glenn has been cut off from the Normandy, her friends, the Shepards- and Joker- for six months. Now, the Reapers have arrived to begin their harvest, and Glenn and crew must race to unite the galaxy to face them, or else be doomed to the cycle of annihilation that came before. Loyalties, friendships, and bonds all alike will be tested, as the fate of all lives- past, present, and future- are decided once and for all.

Summary
Really, though, growing up on Omega should have hardened me into an ice-cold bitch that doesn’t give two shits, or even one. Still, though, that one damn memory that comes back to me every time I close my eyes- I’m sure that has to be what’s responsible for my anxiety, the scared little girl (munchkin) that’s still desperately looking for someone’s approval. Sure, grown-up, hardassed Glenn has completely stopped caring. Munchkin, well. Munchkin is the name of my 600-gogelbyte list of inhibitions.
Glenn is an info broker, hacker, and forensics specialist who's grown up on the streets of Omega- one day, her world is suddenly and inextricably changed by the arrival of the brother of a ghost (and subsequently, the ghost herself), both who want different things from her: first, and more simply, John Shepard wants her to find out Archangel's identity. Secondly, and a bit more complicated, Charlie Shepard wants her to join a suicide mission to hit the Collectors where they live. And that doesn't even start on the third one.
*UNDER MAINTENANCE*

Summary
Every uneven breath they took, every featherlight stroke against heated skin, every slight inhale and arched spines, and every soft noise that echoed throughout the room. They were one; brought together by one ship, one unfathomable war, and many wounds and broken pasts. With every moment, they mended each other, until they were inevitably lost. (Collection of Oneshots, different couples, different ratings, different plots, all written to different lyrics)

Summary
This is part 3 of the Reverie and Tiremit series, a prompt to provide a conversation between Garrus and Thane after a plot point in "Delicate Subject." This takes place immediately after the end of chapter 21 of that story. Major, otherwise out of context spoilers for that story, this likely won't make sense in any way, given that "Delicate Subject" has the addition of new plot, an OC and takes place in an AU.
"Delicate Subject" is told through Shepard's POV, so I am just going to add it on to the series as a separate prompt and not change the point of view of the main story, just tack this bit on to see something Shepard would not see. This prompt is told from Thane's POV.

Summary
Continuation of story from "Poetry Slam", a request for a female polyamorous Shepard managing to romance both Garrus and Thane. Starts most of the way through ME2 after loyalty missions and the buildup to the Omega Relay, extends through the time frame of ME3 with altered circumstances driven by change in plot and character.
Romance, humor, smut, snark, fluff, love story, wish fulfillment and consequences to those changes that swings wide into AU. What happens if Arrival DLC didn't happen that way? What if Shepard never hands the Normandy over? What if Garrus and Thane don't particularly feel like following orders?
Courtesy warning that it starts relatively fluffy, but explores abuse, non-con elements, psychological and physical torture elements.

Summary
Silly story based on the prompt from Vulpixer: "Remember Niftu Cal, the drugged up Volus who thought he was a Biotic God? What if the crew was dosed up and had the same mindset? Biotic Gods, Superheroes/Villains, etc. Any crew member(s). Crack is more than welcome."
Based on my characters from "Of Kittens and Broken Things." This takes place somewhere silly on the timeline beyond chapter 38, reflecting events of the story up to that point and attitudes of the afflicted.

Summary
My version of Thane with one critical alteration to his timeline. He’s evil. Non-consent AU using the characters and plot from my story “Of Kittens and Broken Things.” Who would Thane be with all his energy directed toward selfish pursuit? Who would Thane be if he had a moment of seeing Shepard as Siha and did not follow her, but took her for himself? Portrayal of a brilliant Shepard not only challenged by the greater problems of the galaxy but by Thane intent on keeping her.
Spoiler alert for “Kittens.” Concept in the notes.
All Thanes were hurt in the making of this story.

Summary
Vulpixer's prompt "One of my favorite things is imagining the character's background and how it would shape them. Even though Shepard is a charismatic badass, I've wondered if it could ever just be a really good act. What if they're extremely shy and introverted, and they were "highly encouraged" to join the Alliance."
Portrait of a Shepard who is by temperament and choice...a straight arrow of a nerdy person, introverted and shy, working hard to maintain a persona of fire breathing force of nature.
Starts in ME1, AU afterward, Shepard inspiring changes in path and personality in others, which changes the galaxy. Shakarian with Thane insisting on 'it's really complicated' Shrios.
"Of Kittens and Broken Things" narrated on YouTube Me narrating with my husband providing the voice for Garrus. Huge thanks to KuraiUmmei who provided cover art and the voice of EDI and Irikah!

Summary
This is bonus content for "Of Kittens and Broken Things" - so spoiler alert if you haven't read it. The timeline should be between Chapter 75 and 76, within a few weeks after Chapter 75. I'm re-recording this series for YouTube and it occurred to me that I could add some stuff that I wanted to hear, that I've been thinking about.
At the end of the series, a lot of time is skipped and transitions are made unseen. Drala'tem and Senar have a lot of potential gaps in how transition was achieved and what was said and done that I wanted to clarify. There's a lot going on with these two and since it's all first person, I found myself on review thinking "Wait... what... exactly happened between A and B, not to mention Q, R and S?" I figured they'd work it out and I got to the 'worked out' spot, but a quote from Leo Tolstoy occurred to me often when writing this story: 'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' In this context, Garrus and Cara attained 'happy' somewhere about 3/4 of the way through the story and they stay that way because they'd earned it. They were conflict resistant. (Continued in notes)

Summary
This is an inadvisedly darkly romantic alternate universe of my Mass Effect piece "Of Kittens and Broken Things" after Chapter 13 that became "Broken Thing" and now I'm splitting off from that after Chapter 1 because my hand slipped for a month or so. Spoiler alerts for both of those pieces. Read "Of Kittens and Broken Things" up to Chapter 13 and "Broken Thing" up through Chapter 1 to understand the plot setup for this.
You can read it without reading those, but there might be a big percentage of clueless "What is going on here?" that may or may not be relieved by reading those pieces. Senar and Cara live in the 'what is going on here?' space.
There's terminology, lore and mythology from other pieces of my work describing Thane's background so I'll put some setup spoilers and new/old words in the notes.
This is the result of Senar rapping "shave and a haircut" on my brain's door for a while with me unwilling to give the final two knocks until he had come up with something really good to justify my hand slipping. Again.
Here's a word from "Delicate Subject" that does not show up in this story except in spirit. Turian word - Invas'nam - A truth held so close to the heart that the tongue cannot reach.

Summary
This is a continuation of the story "Of Kittens and Broken Things" from an idea generated in the chapter "Trial and Error" where Drala'tem and Senar imagine what they would do with time travel.
This is what they would do. First they had to create time travel. That took up a lot of time.
This is an AU, reading "Of Kittens and Broken Things" first would be recommended.

Summary
Garrus and Shepard are tentatively introducing a more physical dynamic to their friendship. Of course things get complicated when a certain enigmatic drell captures the commander's attention.
Shameless Shepard/Garrus/Thane triangle. Begins as ME2 headcanon, but veers off to become an AU as they go through the Omega 4 Relay. (If you're impatient for smut, skip to Ch20 and Ch23).
