Summary
Shepard, Tali, and Garrus make a good team. They'd been together fighting Saren and the geth on the Normandy SR-1. They'd been together as the Normandy SR-2 flew through the Omega-4 relay and stormed the Collector base. And now, as the Reaper's invade their homes, they're together again.
But this time, they begin to grow even closer to each other.

Summary
Bode kisses Cal the night before he betrays them, and it changes everything.
Or: an AU kind of ending where Bode and Cal realise they have insane chemistry, Bode betrays everyone anyway, the Empire gets involved (because of course they do) and they have to sort through all that mess to earn their happy ending. Believe me when I say things will get worse before they get better.
Mostly takes place at and beyond Nova Garon. Canon-adjacent until chapter 3.

Summary
Ottilia (Otti) Shepard woke up after being dead for two years. She was revived by Cerberus, the Council still doesn't care about her or her cause, and the Illusive Man is a dick. She's plagued with nightmares and flashbacks, often lashing out at herself for things frankly out of her control. She's able to keep this under wraps from her crew. That is, until a turian with an obsession for calibrations decides to check on her after noticing the tendency to go directly to her cabin one too many times.
(In which Shepard is a mess, Garrus panics at the thought of his best friend suffering, and they end up together. Only Shepard is still, in fact, a hot mess.)
I will make a habit of putting content warnings on chapters containing self-harm as well as an indication of which paragraph you can skip to if you don't want to read that. Please take care of yourself while you read if it's a trigger for you. I won't have it mentioned too often, but it will be in there.
One other thing, my writing style has evolved as I’ve written this fic. The first 4 chapters stick very close to cannon which means it starts slow. I apologize for that, but I promise it gets better starting at chapter 4 and only improves from there!

Summary
When it was all over, no one knew exactly what happened to cause the Reapers to become friendly. Commander Shepard's body was never found, and there were no witnesses to what might have been her final moments.
But sixteen months after the end of the war, just after all but two of the Mass Relays have come online, the Council convenes to decide what to do about the Reapers they still do not understand. The decision is made to investigate in an effort to learn what caused this change, and find a way to destroy the Reapers and finish what Shepard failed to do, if necessary.
And Shepard's former crew members are summoned for the task.
