Summary
my initial goals for this piece were to make it somewhat canon-compliant, explain why Vega and Shepard feel like they have this close bond before ME3 begins, try to make the story funny and suspenseful and real-feeling, and MAYBE give James Vega the happy ending i came to feel he deserved in ME3 but never really had a chance at (i'm looking at you, developers).
now that i'm done with the first installment, i feel like i maybe succeeded 80%? i'm not sure how close to canon i remained. i might be only person who finds a lot of this story hilarious. perhaps the suspense angle falls flat. however, for those of you who enjoyed it, i'll see you in the first installment of The Hallway, where we shift back to Shepard's POV. not sure when i'll start posting again; it will probably depend on when inspiration strikes.
right now _The Hallway_ is planned to be 10 Chapters, all different POV, and bridge the time between The Null Room and The War Room, which will start with a replay of ME3. ideally, each Chapter will have a mini-plot of its own. disclaimer that The War Room will be as canon-compliant as i can make it, but will of necessity deviate a BIT after The Citadel DLC because, well, the developers can bite me (again).

Summary
Historical fiction AU: When the maiden voyage of the 'HMS Normandy', is waylaid by a terrible storm, Commander Shepard discovers something far worse than pirates which threaten the seas and life itself. Now she must find a way to convince the world of an ancient terror and stop it before it wakes from it's house at R'lyeh.
This is what happens when one of your friends says "Mass Effect", another says "Pirates", and you say "Cthulhu". And it's gotten very out of hand. Come for the naval aesthetic, stay for the romance cut with eldritch horror.

Summary
Trying to save the universe isn't just point and shoot. It's dangerous, gritty, and painful. It's sleepless nights, loss of appetite, addictions, endless politics, and injuries. But there are bright moments where your friends and crew are there for you, when connections are made, and where you love each other unconditionally. You are all brethren born of ash and flame and baptized in battle together. You are shaped by wit and banter, alcohol and war stories. Shepard and Garrus have already been through hell and back both together and apart. This is the story of how deep friendship goes, and how the beginning of the end molds them into one.

Summary
Shepard was his hero. Alliance poster-child, CO of the Normandy, bearer of more medals than he had fingers. She was everything he ever wanted to be. Lieutenant James Vega wore her influence proudly, certain that everything Shepard did was for the greater good.
But now, years later, life for Shepard has changed. She's faced with the stark reality: no longer a decorated Alliance hero, she is imprisoned and disgraced, stripped of all rank and privilege and left to rot in a jail cell. To the outside galaxy she is a source of disgust and fear - and yet it's Lt. James Vega, the most disillusioned of all, who offers her a chance at retribution. But saving the galaxy twice has left her with more scars than anybody could ever realise; James is forced to help her face her past, present, and the uncertain future of a galaxy under threat of complete annihilation.

Summary
The Commander of the Inquisition, in a turn of unfortunate events, finds himself pulled into an unusual rift outside of Redcliffe Castle. One minute, he’s fighting alongside his troops. The next, he’s waking up somewhere he doesn’t fully recognize, with memories of a life that he doesn’t think was his own. They call him “Commander Shepard” and by the information he finds, that’s who he is.
Trying to find any possible way to get used to his life as it is now is only complicated more once the Reapers attack Earth. It’s complicated even further when he starts to get glimpses of a history he shares with someone who served with him all those years ago starting back on Eden Prime. As he starts to regain all parts of him, Cullen has to decide if Thedas is worth trying to get back to, or if he can make a new home in a wide galaxy of possibilities.
A retelling of Mass Effect 3 (with some of ME1 and ME2, and some Dragon Age lore mixed in) but with a different Commander. This is going to be focusing more on the moments between missions.

Summary
"Do you remember your old name?" Shep asks, because Snip is only about two years older.
Snip pauses, and the light filters through the faded green dye in her hair, casting color over her face.
"I think it was Alice," she says.
"Do you miss it?"
"No." Snip shrugs, easily moving Shep around to brush her hair. "Alice died in the war."

Summary
It always starts with a bet.
The Shepard twins grew up roaming Earth’s forgotten streets. They kept each other alive and made a habit of driving one another forward with bets. They started simply enough, but the older they got, the higher the stakes rose. To outsiders, it was hostile, grim, and competitive. To them, it was a game that gave them an edge in life. After a wager went too far, they found themselves enlisted in the Alliance military. Over ten years later, they’re assigned together on a shakedown run to Eden Prime. It’s time for their biggest wager yet; the title of first human Spectre. But when we make plans, our gods laugh.
A tale of two Shepards taking on the events of Mass Effect 1. The galaxy will never be the same.

Summary
True soldiers make tough calls and face the consequences; Jane Shepard is no exception. After turning herself in for her actions in the Bahak system, she finds comfort in the friendship of James Vega. As the war presses on Shepard and James struggle with their feelings for one another. Continues post ME.
Ignores the Citadel DLC "romance" because it made me feel gross and I can't picture my paragon Shep ever doing that.
Borrows from the MEHEM ending because reasons.
