The Long, Long Walk by This_Is_Sarcasm

Summary
Having stopped the Hive incursion on Eden Prime at the expense of being stuck in Commander Shepard's reality, Crow is offered a place on the Normandy. With nowhere to go, he accepts, and finds himself at the front of the fight against the Collectors, while at the same time trying to learn how to trust the ship's residents. In the end, though... maybe he's not 'stuck' after all.
' Crow had never thought he would be one of ‘those’ Guardians, the ones who slayed so-called ‘gods’ and other powers so fearsome most people would run and be called sane for it. He thought he would be one of the people that ran. He could never see himself being that powerful, never thought to try to be.
Last night had changed that, when he woke up to the empty med bay.'

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.

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.

The Diary of Katherine Shepard by Hawkster94
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
03 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
4 years and a half had passed since the galaxy emerged victorious against the Reapers. Recovery process is still ongoing, with the trauma of the war still lingering on, physical, mental, and emotional.
Inspired by the unfinished diaries that her former mentor, Admiral David Anderson, left in his former Citadel Apartment prior to his demise, now retired Commander Katherine Shepard decides to do her own diary detailing her early life, her career, the defining three years of her life, and what has she been up to since the end of the Reaper War.
Although it might be for the fun of it or just out of boredom, Shepard is writing her diary to help find her own closure.
NOTICE: This fic is based on the ending headcanon from AHEM (Audemus Happy Ending Mod), so no Catalyst, no Mass Relays damaged/destroyed, and no Geth/EDI being destroyed either. Additionally, it's based on CEM (Citadel Epilogue Mod), so expect the events of Citadel DLC to play out a few years after the Reaper War.

Threshold by AnthropicScholar (Edge_2000)
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Command & Conquer (Video Games)
03 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Decades ago, a Turian patrol fired on an unknown, heavily armed reconnaissance force attempting to activate relay 314, sparking a war with a new, militant alien society armed with an almost entirely alien technological paradigm.
Though peace was brokered by the council, the Alliance's refusal to join the Council, their belligerent response to external aggression and their embrace of Sapient AI has kept tensions between them simmering.
When a rogue Spectre with an army of hostile AI turns a joint operation into the spark of a new war, keeping the peace will fall to an Alliance Commander and a Spectre. And keeping the peace may well prove to be harder than unraveling the mystery of the rogue Spectre, and his connection to the doom of the Protheans.

Summary
Have you ever had a recurring dream that keeps egging at you, giving you bits of inspiration to turn into a story? That's what happened to me over a year ago. A dream where Star Wars, Halo, and Warhammer 40k crossed over. That dream inspired me to write this fic; Solarwar! Where those three franchises cross over, and even potentially more. You'll have to wait and see where it goes.

Summary
Unrequited love is so complicated when it isn't truly unrequited but neither person knows. You know what else is complicated? Dying and being brought back to life. Tara Shepard is navigating life after death on the Normandy SR-2 while -- once again -- trying to save the galaxy. At least she has Joker, right? But Jeff Moreau is also trying to navigate his life after Tara's death and it is much harder than he imagined it might be.
To the Stars is set during ME2 and will continue through ME3. Somewhat canon compliant, but will likely deviate more than not. There aren't any really heavy triggers in this, mostly just sad and angst and eventual happiness.
I have only played through these games twice; so bear with me as I explore these characters and continue to replay ME repeatedly.

Summary
Commander Shepard and the Normandy have to save the galaxy. (Again.) With said galaxy trying to stand against her, because of course no one would believe the mountains of evidence she's compiled, it's time to cash in a lot of favors and goodwill to ensure she can mount a war effort before the Reapers arrive.

Summary
Seven months ago the galaxy was united and the crucible was fired. Though unfathomable destruction was left in its wake, the war is over and it’s up to the survivors to rebuild for a better tomorrow. If Shepard knew how to hold a hammer, she would be among them. At least between her physical therapy and Miranda she has finally been cleared for active duty! And there was a leftover Cerberus base not that far away that definitely needs a bomb placed in it. What could go wrong?
Turns out, Cerberus may have... left a trap behind. One that might have messed with Shepard's ability to recall long term memories. Leaving the Normandy crew to care for a temperamental teenager in the body of a super solider. Y-yeah! What could go wrong with that?
