Summary
Commander Cody Shepherd was born on earth, his parent's death in the first contact war left him an orphan. Surviving a desperate childhood of petty crime, Cody joined the Alliance at the age of 18, where he met the love of his life. Losing his husband in the Blitz and emerging a war hero, Cody went on to become commander and XO of the SSV Normandy.
Updates will in theory occur every week or two, but timing may vary. The Main pairing of the series is MSHENKO, but i plan to give some attention to several other pairings.
At first I will be writing through the game series, but I will return at some point to release Shepherd's backstory, and I plan to continue writing the story well past the end of the reaper war.

Summary
“You remind me of him,” Anderson had once said, the day they had made Kaidan the second human Spectre. He was under no illusion that that wouldn’t have happened without Shepard being the first, but he wasn’t quite so sure if they had really shared the same values. From what he had heard, things had regularly blown up wherever Commander Shepard had gone, and Kaidan was proud to think that they didn’t tend to around him.
Kaidan Alenko and John Shepard never meet on the Normandy SR-1. By the time Kaidan becomes the second human Spectre, Commander Shepard has been dead for almost two years.

Summary
Shepard was his hero. Alliance poster-child, CO of the Normandy, bearer of more medals than he had fingers. She was everything he ever wanted to be. Lieutenant James Vega wore her influence proudly, certain that everything Shepard did was for the greater good.
But now, years later, life for Shepard has changed. She's faced with the stark reality: no longer a decorated Alliance hero, she is imprisoned and disgraced, stripped of all rank and privilege and left to rot in a jail cell. To the outside galaxy she is a source of disgust and fear - and yet it's Lt. James Vega, the most disillusioned of all, who offers her a chance at retribution. But saving the galaxy twice has left her with more scars than anybody could ever realise; James is forced to help her face her past, present, and the uncertain future of a galaxy under threat of complete annihilation.

Summary
Eilís Moran (AKA Elizabeth Shepard) has been having a bad few months.
After being abandoned as a child, then booted from the foster system, Eliza was adopted by a gang leader in NYC. Things got... complicated, and her guardian persuaded her to enlist in the Alliance Navy. She was chosen for N7, defended Elysium from a pirate invasion, found a mentor, and became his XO. Life was good.
Then a Spectre betrayed the Council, and she lost crew trying to hunt him down, inadvertently saving the galaxy. Sort of. She unexpectedly fought with her boyfriend - which was a bummer - but then she died, which was arguably worse. She woke up on a space station - having been reassembled by an organization she loathed with every fiber of her being - and the former boyfriend? Didn't trust her as far as he could Throw her. Still, she managed to save the galaxy again (sort of). Then the leader of the Alliance Navy asked for a personal favor... that went sideways.
All of this... before they threw her into a prison cell built specifically to neuter biotics.

Summary
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Looking for you little one.”
Her eyes rolled and she twisted to look at him. “I’m not your little one. Never was and never will be. So, if you’re here to repeat your offer from last year, you can shove it.”
“Ahh, you’re a smart one little Ella. You’re positive I can’t…persuade you?”
“Yes.” Her response was flat and she returned to her drink. “I’m not going back.”
“Have you really left? All you’ve done is trade one gang for another. The alliance is no better than we are. They just have pretty uniforms and shiny toys.”
Spans from before ME1 through all three games. Zaeed/Female Shepard pairing.

Summary
The war is over and everything is going great for Commander Myana Shepard. At least that’s the surface she wants to portray. Problems within a marriage happen all the time, and sometimes people make mistakes. Her mistake isn’t the act, but the denial of her true feelings by hiding behind the mask of Myana Alenko, and forcing herself to smile even after her tragedy. Until her estranged lover, Garrus Vakarian coincidentally appears and she can no longer push Mya Shepard away.
Not with him around.

Summary
When Kaidan had asked for a moment of Shepard’s time at that little café on the Presidium, he had not expected to hear what he wanted, but he had hoped for it.
When Shepard had turned him down, Kaidan had received his answer, and he had enough sense to quit while he was ahead.
Shepard had thought it through. He had weighed all his options. He had made the right decision.
So why does the twinge in the pit of his stomach now feel distinctly like regret?- Language:
