    Summary

    There was a process to coming home. Not the physical one that involved finding a ship at the docks and paying for a mildly uncomfortable ride.

    Really, coming home started just shy of their front porch. When he felt that first real rush of belonging. Of shrugging off the mantle of Spectre and War Hero and Alliance Major, shrinking back down into his own skin and name and life.

    Summary

    It wasn’t the first time Shepard found herself buried under the weight of rubble after saving the galaxy, though this victory on the Citadel wasn’t one she could just walk away from. She could feel her fingers and toes barely moving as she tried to push herself off the ground. The world around her was hazy, debris still smoldering. But hope came in the form of the red emergency lights that tried to cut through the thick smoke clouding the room...
    ~~~
    After the war and the reapers, Shepard, back from the dead for a second time, struggles to find her place in a galaxy that has mourned her as a martyr.

    Summary

    A few years after the end of the Reaper War, the galaxy is still trying to rebuild and the scars will take time to heal. When an old idea makes a vengeful return, it falls upon Kaidan Alenko to make the unwelcome journey to get those who should be at rest, to rise once more.

    Summary

    me·tem·psy·cho·sis
    /ˌmedəmˌsīˈkōsəs,məˌtemsəˈkōsəs/
    noun
    the supposed transmigration at death of the soul of a human being or animal into a new body of the same or a different species.

     

    Set after the events of Mass Effect 3.

    It has been a month since the Reapers were destroyed. All technology has crumbled, and much of Earth is a pile of ash and rubble. The famed Commander Shepard has not been seen since before the final assault to the Citadel. After a month of radio silence, a message has finally gone through to her famous ship, The Normandy, and her crew has begun making their way back to Earth. Liara struggles to cope with the fact that her bondmate- her love, might have perished in the fight. With no contact for a month, many assume the worse. Garrus tries to step up in Shepard's place, but tensions rise as rumors of a new enemy come to fruition. EDI and the Geth are seemingly inactive, but not totally destroyed.

    When Shepard's body is found by an old friend, things aren't as they seem. There are other parties at work, and nobody is sure if they are with them or against them.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the Reaper War, the Normandy and her crew find themselves stranded on an uncharted world, uncertain about the fate of the rest of the galaxy they've left behind… including Shepard. For Liara T'Soni, leaving Petra Shepard behind means being burdened with a grief she thought she'd never have to endure again, when the future is so full of unknowns and the only comfort she can find, for now, is in the memories of her bondmate.

    Summary

    Bone plates scraped the inside of her wrist. Nothing about Turians was soft, except for the way his massive talon closed over the back of her hand, hesitant for fear of hurting her and then just slightly too firm in self-loathing for treating her as if she was fragile.

    Nothing soft, but transparent.

    Garrus and Tali guide Shepard through the process of recovery after the Reaper invasion.

    Along the way, they find other wounds to heal.

    Summary

    Just keep walking, Vakarian. Shepard got a head start, but you need to catch up with her. Can’t let her have all the glory. No Shepard without Vakarian, remember?

    (a quiet voice in the back of his mind, clinically pragmatic, also said: ‘and just in case she is dead, you need to finish what she started.’)

    or;

    There was no Normandy during the charge for the Crucible. It was all Shepard could do to drag her injured teammates behind the totalled Mako before staggering onwards to the pillar of light alone, determined to end the Reaper threat no matter what.

    Too bad Garrus is stubborn to a fault.

    Summary

    Destroying the Reapers and coming back looked easy enough, too bad nothing worth fighting in life comes easy.
    After the explosion, Shepard finds himself on a beach with Mordin, and a chat with the very model of a scientist salarian is just what The Commander need to going back.

    Summary

    The galaxy is rebuilding following the destruction of the Reapers. When Garrus receives news that Commander Shepard is finally awake, he couldn't be happier. His joy soon turns bittersweet as he learns that she lost all memories past boarding the derelict Reaper before the Suicide Mission, including them falling in love.

    Post-ME3. Contains occasional allusions to the Indoctrination Theory, but it's not the main focus and you don't need to be familiar with it to read this. Light, a little bittersweet, and with a dash of mutual pining and a tiny bit of angst.

    Summary

    James had always been good at kissing - he liked that part. Kissing was fun, and practice had been fun, and for the most part he’d never needed it to go any farther.

    And since getting settled in his lap, Steve seemed pretty content to stick to kissing.

    Even though tonight, maybe, James thought he might want a little bit more.

    Summary

    Note as of 25th June 2022: meant to add this note earlier, but I now have a full time summer job so may have to take a short break as I don't have much time for writing, but I promise I'll get another chapter up as soon as I can- watch this spot or my Twitter for updates

    A short fic for my canon Shepard, Cassian, post-Reaper War. Also known as 'the wedding fic'.

    Cassian Shepard has survived the Reaper War- barely. Rescued from the rubble, Kaidan is by his side as he recovers in hospital, his injuries severe. Upon discharge, Cassian, tired of fighting, retires from active duty, proposes to his boyfriend and goes about planning the future of peace he's always wanted.

    I can’t promise regular updates thanks to poor mental health and busy real life, but you can bookmark this work to receive email updates, and I will be posting about it on my Twitter @mysticalenbyart.

    Title for this fic was taken from the song 'All Eyes On You' by St. Lucia https://open.spotify.com/track/0ekoNFB4Xnj2HQAYQ8PTBY?si=b316d89764194c6f

    Summary

    Commander Shepard has been a lot of things: a hero, a lover, a commercial, a corpse. His face was on recruitment posters and cereal boxes and magazines, even a VI. But one thing that face never got to do was cry. He went through something as viscerally profound and life-altering as saving an entire galaxy... but was never allowed to shed one single, healthy, emotionally stable, very manly tear. I wrote this fic to fix that.
