Summary
Thirty years since first contact. Thirty years of war between the turians and the humans. Shanxi, a human fringe colony in the Traverse, has been the epicenter of the fighting. And humans are in the eleventh hour, about to lose not only their colonies, but their way of life. The only hope they have left is a Prothean beacon found hidden beneath labs-- a beacon which could, if given to the salarians, turn the tide of the war. The problem is: the turians want it just as badly.
Commander Roni Shepard wears her uniform more comfortably than her own skin. But a traumatic injury from the batarians, a client race to the Hierarchy, has left her unsure of everything she used to be secure in.
Lieutenant-Commander Garrus Vakarian thinks outside of the box, much to the chagrin of his commanding officers, his father, and the very establishment he fights for. When he uncovers a dark secret embedded deep within his own military, he holds on to the hope that others can put a stop to it, even if it destroys everything.
When both of them are tasked with securing the Prothean beacon, their lives will intertwine, and everything they thought they knew flies out the window when a mysterious ship also comes to collect.

Summary
One minute, you're doing your nth run of the Mass Effect trilogy in your pajamas, the next ... You're waking up in that same universe, which wasn't on your bucket list.
What was fiction five minutes ago is now terrifyingly real. You’re expected to function as Earthborn Commander Shepard, morally gray and questionable coping skills.
Your only consistent backup? A chow-chow-shaped mech dog named Sebastian who silently judges your every questionable life choice.
Knowing what’s coming doesn’t make it easier. The choices still hurt. People still die. And the weight of saving the galaxy hits different when you’re the one holding the gun.
You’re holding it together with duct tape, caffeine, and pure spite.

Summary
Long before the Citadel Council, before the Protheans, even before the mysterious Inusannon... the galaxy was not silent.
An ancient, ferocious race emerged - not by chance, but by necessity. Born from the will of nature itself, they were forged to challenge an enemy that had disrupted the natural cycle of life. For over 100,000 years, these apex beings - predators perfected by extinction - waged a war of attrition against the Reapers. Their story was lost, buried beneath the ruins of forgotten empires. This is the chronicle of that war. Of evolution weaponized. Of a species born to break the cycle. This is the rise of the Viltrumites. They were not created to preserve life.
They were born to fight for it.

Summary
Back from the dead, Shepard is thrust back into the driver's seat, leading the charge against the Collectors and the Reapers while the rest of the galaxy questions her sanity and the validity of the threats against them - just like old times.
ME2 Novelization - I started going AU in part one, Do The Impossible, so if you're just jumping in, some things won't make sense unless you've read the first installment.
Former Kaiden/Fem Shep romance although it didn't get quite that far in Do The Impossible.
Colony background, both the war hero profile as well as the ruthless profile
Shep was a soldier through and through for Do The Impossible - but all that is about to change.

"In the quiet moments between battles, he would catch himself going into those forbidden if-onlys. If only they hadn't been on opposite sides of a conflict that seemed to grow more insurmountable with each passing year. If only he could forget the feel of her skin, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes would light up when she spoke about her blue skies.
But he couldn't forget, just as he could never see her again. He had no choice but to press on, because that's what a good turian would do. And he clung to the hope that somehow, someday, he might find his way back to that turian…"
