    Summary

    Eliza Shepard is once again in the role of the hero, saddled with the responsibility of saving the galaxy. Except now, she should still be dead. Except now, she's forced to work with known terrorists. Except now, the galaxy doesn't want her. Her reputation is the lowest it's ever been, her mind is more jumbled than ever before, and some of those she trusted most shun her. Except her best friend, who swears up and down he's with her. But things are different aboard the SR-2, even when it comes to Garrus Vakarian.

    Summary

    So many things have gone wrong. But then there's her. A good luck charm, if he dared to let himself believe in that sort of thing. Maybe it's worth a shot.

    (another shakarian fic, this time with Garrus as my focal character)

    Summary

    Mere hours after the ill-fated, covert black op in Bahak has failed utterly, the Systems Alliance's two most prominent leaders meet to try and solve a crisis of epic proportions that neither had anticipated.

    It's an emergency council full of unpleasant surprises, difficult considerations and galactic politics. But also one of deep loyalty and morals.

    Told from Prime Minister Amul Shastri's eyes who just learned of the black op.

    Summary

    Shepard went down with his ship, only to wake two years later and find out the love of his life had gone down, too. Or so he thinks.
    ~
    Like a knife he’d forgotten is there, Shepard’s heart clenches painfully. He swallows the lump in his throat. This is not the place to break down.

    “Don’t think you can’t talk about him around me,” Shepard says, which is the exact opposite of how he feels at the moment. “I wasn’t the only one he meant something to.”

    “I know,” Joker replies, shrugging. “But you two were like...” He waves a hand awkwardly to empathize his point.

    Practically married. Ashley had said.

    Summary

    Stripped of rank and indefinitely under house arrest, Shepard took the development in stride to spend what little time she afforded the Alliance to prepare for the Reapers. After all, she was good at compartmentalizing, except when an unexpected visit severs the last vestiges of her control.

    (Set during Shepard's incarceration in Vancouver, in between the events of The Arrival and Mass Effect 3.)

    Summary

    PART 5
    07.06.2023 - Oh, my baby. I will go through this one at a point in time. There are three chapters I need to add and they will be added with time.

    Mikaela Shepard wakes up two years after she died. An enemy organization brought her back from the dead. After learning why, she finds herself working with them to save the galaxy. This and relationships will be the focus of this story. There is a man she wants. Is the feeling mutual? Keep reading to find out.

    Excerpt
    I looked around and had trouble finding the mods, so I looked back at Jacob. “Any mods?”

    “Not at this station.” He answered and I sighed frustrated.

    “Right. Shitty choices it is, then. From what I learned from your logs, Cerberus has all the credits in the galaxy, and you can’t even afford any decent choices for weapons? That’s pitiful, if anything.” I pointed out through my frustration.

    Summary

    Forever and a day ago, Phileris made a comment suggesting that the Arrival DLC would have been the perfect place to have given the Virmire Survivor more presence in ME2.

    This is that story. Or my attempt at it, anyway.

    Summary

    Chapter XIV: Leviathan:

    They track the signal to the remote Despoina.

    She takes the plunge.

    Garrus, understandably, isn’t happy with this idea.

    “Should we not think about this a bit more clearly?” he hisses to her in a stage whisper whilst Cortez and Tali analyse the mech, ensuring it will handle the pressure so far down after years at mercy to the elements.

    “It’s our only option at this point,” she hisses back, double checking the seals on her armour. She’s taken her helmet off to feel the breeze before she braves the confining air of the mech, and her hair is plastered to her head thanks to the torrential rain.

    “I don’t like your odds down there alone.”

    “Have you got a better idea?”

    “I don’t, but -”

    “Garrus.” She stops him with a hand on the scarred side of his face. “I’ll be fine.”

    He says nothing, but clutches at her hand, holding it there and closing his eyes.

    She presses her forehead to his, kisses his scars, and enters the mech, helmet on once more. She pilots it to the edge of the wreck, does her final checks, takes a deep breath, and jumps into the water.

    --

    Genesis Shepard, the evolution of her biotics, and her relationships.

    Summary

    After her briefing with Hackett a few days later, Shepard knew what she needed to do. The admiral had said he would try to buy her some time, but they had weeks at the most. She would use what little wiggle room he had given her to make sure her people were safe and prepared for what was coming.

    ----------

    Shepard deals with the fallout of destroying the Alpha Relay in an attempt to delay the arrival of the Reapers.
