— A rewrite of ME2 and ME3 around the Dark Matter theory.

Summary
The Force was never clean and neither were the hands of those who dared to try and master it.
Beneath neon-lit towers and among the scars of battle-ravaged worlds, the galaxy is haunted by echoes of an ancient darkness. Fractured souls and forgotten warriors search for meaning amid shadows deeper than space itself. When old secrets resurface, whispers colder than a Sith Lord's tomb and sharp enough to cut deep-rise relentlessly from forgotten graves, demanding payment in blood, bitter regret, and broken promises that haunt like restless spirits.
As factions clash and relics from long-forgotten wars awaken, the fragile line separating hero from villain blurs into nothingness. In a galaxy submerged beneath relentless tides of darkness and chaos, redemption is a deadly gamble, alliances dissipate like smoke in a storm, and survival often means confronting-and perhaps embracing-the very darkness you once vowed to annihilate.

Summary
Takes place during Mass Effect 3: Citadel.
Miranda and Shepard decide to unwind with a girls' night out at the Silver Coast Casino. The evening is filled with laughter, a few too many drinks, and Shepard letting her guard down in a way she rarely does. By the time they leave the casino, Shepard is decidedly worse for wear, much to Miranda's amusement.
Miranda delivers a very tipsy Shepard to Kaidan who is waiting patiently at her new apartment.
Chapter Three is rated as explicit for the sexy times. One and Two are free from this if that isn't your sort of thing.
Added some new art April 2025.

Summary
Athena Shepard died the day they buried an empty casket in her brother's name. Fleeing to old habits and the depths of Omega to escape her grief, Thena lived the next two years in a numb haze, joining the asari dancers at Afterlife, under the watchful eye of Aria T'Loak.
Then, a grinning Alliance marine saunters into the club, calls her "Lola", and spends every day sitting at the front of whatever stage she's dancing on to flirt shamelessly with zero follow-through. His appearance comes three weeks before the ghost of her twin brother walks into Afterlife, shattering the glass cocoon containing what's left of her heart when she realizes that ghost isn't a ghost, but her brother—alive and well.
---
A re-imagining of the Mass Effect trilogy centered around Ares and Athena Shepard, the famous (and infamous) twins raised by Anderson and Hackett after the death of their parents, in which, Nihlus lives, Vega gets fast-tracked into ME2 by way of a fake relationship, and the fate of the universe rests in the hands of a brother and sister who will always choose each other above anyone else.

Summary
When mankind finally reached the stars, it was not long before they realized they were not alone in the galaxy. Worse still when they realized that not everyone out there was friendly. This begged the question: How far would you go to ensure humanity’s survival? What would you sacrifice to create the perfect soldier? What happens when those “perfect soldiers” realize what has been done to them? And what happens when the most promising candidates finally escape? After all, a child’s mind is easily malleable and receptive to indoctrination, but it is also a dangerously fragile thing.

Summary
Part 2 of the Across the Stars Series:
Two years ago Commander Leila Shepard died. Now she must grapple with the shock of not only remembering her death, but suddenly being thrust into yet another urgent mission to save the galaxy.
Garrus Vakarian, having spent the years coming to terms with the loss of his best friend, now faces a renewed wave of grief as she unexpectedly reenters his life. Seeing her again throws his already crumbling life into disarray as feelings he had attempted to tamp down are brought to the surface.
Despite their individual struggles, Garrus and Shepard are forced to rely on each other to survive. And if they’re going up against insurmountable odds, they might as well face them side by side.
———
Story extends through the events of Mass Effect 2 and six months beyond. Heavily focused on all the little moments in between missions. Mostly canon compliant (until it’s not), but with extra feelings. This story will NOT always follow the canon order of events.
