The Place That You Left by savvysav

Summary
Shepard had reconciled with death, prepared to give her life to end the Reaper War. She sacrificed her friends, her relationship, and herself to save the galaxy. She never expected to make it out alive.
Five years have passed since the Battle for Earth and Shepard finds herself adrift in a life she never imagined she'd have. When Primarch Victus offers her a job overseeing a new Spectre training program on Palaven, Shepard accepts immediately. What she isn't prepared for is to be working with Garrus Vakarian again.
Now she's trying to pick up the pieces of everything she destroyed in her wake.

Summary
The Normandy crew have been stranded on a planet for a few months as they work to repair their ship. After fixing the comms link, the crew are told that the Commander is in fact alive, and has been rallying support to get the crew found ASAP. With the messaging system back up, everything in their outboxes get sent to Shepard on Earth, and they receive everything she's sent them in the four-month period that they've been apart.
The first and last chapters are the narrative, the rest are the string of messages that were sent during the time they were apart. Some angst, but mostly on the lighter side. Some canon divergence here, in that I add some details/events which could feasibly have happened but were not explicitly mentioned or part of the game.

Summary
The combat drone given to engineer Evangeline Shepard is a sophisticated piece of equipment, and there aren't a lot of safeguards isolating it from other systems in Shepard's omni-tool or within Normandy's servers. First it starts interfacing with Legion, then it accesses her translator apps.
When Shepard's combat drone starts on the same journey the geth took centuries ago and EDI took just a couple of years previously, Evangeline Shepard decides to run an experiment . . . and help it instead of immediately defaulting to a preemptive strike.
ME2/ME3 continuity, mixed media poetry, prose, dialogue, and experimental technique, with multiple POVs. Different universe from my Disaster Zone/Sometimes Grace stories, and the Shepard/Garrus and Joker/EDI pairings are relevant but also background and tangential.

Summary
Ashley played her role in the Alliance, that was all she knew how to do, but after his death, she was grounded. Miranda ran until there was nowhere else left to go, she was finally freed, but after his death, she was lost. Jack fought for her kids, teaching as Grissom's and trying her hardest to be someone to look up to, but after his death, all she wanted to do was maim and kill just to feel something.
The death of Commander Damien Shepard of the Alliance Forces created a ripple effect amongst the majority of the Traverse. There were fellow soldiers that mourned his loss, enemies of the Alliance that rejoiced in the fallen warrior, and then, there were three women- all caught up and in love with the man. They loved him, all at different times and then all at once. But he was gone and there was nothing Ashley, Miranda, or Jack could do to stop it.
Mourning in different ways, missing aspects about him the others may not have known were there. They all swore off love, fighting the overwhelming urge to fade into nothingness as even the strongest-willed of the three failed to see the importance of life without him.
He was their love.
Now, all that is left of those women is The Unfillable Void.

Because Darling, This is More than Anything I've Felt Before by ATOASTBW

Summary
“Wow Shepard, the others weren’t lying. Your cabin’s huge! I mean, what even is this fish tank?” Kaidan stands washed by the cool blue light, and Shepard chuckles, reminded of when they visited the Citadel for the first time. Kaidan’s exclamation of “Big place!” and Shepard holding back his amusement at the then-lieutenant.
That was three years ago, and Shepard’s missed two of them, years during which the lieutenant has grown and been promoted into the very major that stands before him. Strong, capable, and oh so handsome.
Thinking that he’s waited long enough, Shepard walks over. Kaidan doesn’t even notice until Shepard is right up beside him, but when he does, an endearingly sheepish look grows on his face.
“Sorry, I, uh, got distracted.”
“I can see that.” Shepard says, trying his hardest to pretend like he doesn’t find Kaidan just so damn adorable.
Kaidan’s awkward grin morphs into an affectionate smile. "So, what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, I wanted to know…" Shepard presses closer. "What did you mean by 'benefits'?”
Or,
Five of the times Shepard and Kaidan have sex in Shepard's cabin, and one of the times they have sex in their apartment.

Summary
“We have Eclipse mercs clearing the streets as we speak,” Bray goes on. “As soon as I get the all-clear, I’ll lead you to the designated apartment.”
“Shouldn’t take long,” Aria adds, examining Shepard’s body. “Damage doesn’t seem nearly as bad as it could have been.”
No. Garrus Is not talking with her about this. He won’t divulge any information. Refuses. Especially not about the loss of memory. He doesn’t need anyone trying to use that against Shepard. Not that he plans on letting just anyone anywhere near her.
Except that might not be his choice for much longer.
Bray’s omni-tool finally lights up. “We’re good to go.”

In the aftermath of the firing of the Crucible, Shepard left one last message for Garrus Vakarian.
A fic for N7 Day 2022

Tags
Summary
This story takes place in the immediate aftermath of The Crucible, assuming the Destroy ending. Without synthetic life and with much of the worlds destroyed thanks to the now-dead Reapers, recovering has become a necessity, both for Shepard and the galaxy she helped to save. She's determined to get it rebuilt, though, because she has a very special person she wants to see again.
This is a no-heat, light angs Shenko fic. I know he's not everyone's favorite, but I just have a place in my heart for the human who *definitely* makes some mistakes (*whispers* Though I still like Garrus better).
**Please keep in mind that I own nothing**

Summary
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
The man instantly removes his foot and lowers his gun at the sound of the other voice. “C’mon, I’m just teasing. This extraction wasn’t supposed to be so fucking difficult, but this bitch thinks she can get away with it.”
“Boss wants her alive,” the second man says, jabbing the other with the butt of his own rifle right in his chest.
“I wasn’t gonna kill her; I’m not fucking stupid. I just wanted to remind her that she ain’t all that. Put her in her place.”
“Boss also wants her unharmed, dipshit.”
