    Summary

    A colony slaughtered, it's citizens transformed. A Spectre dead as well, and the Geth suddenly, unexpectedly far past the Perseus Veil.
    Garrus Vakarian took Saren's actions on Eden Prime very personally. He dropped his entire life in the recycler for a chance at answers, and preferably justice.

    That's not normal. Unless, perhaps, the losses and betrayals were personal.

    Maybe... they were.

    Begin the tale of Mass Effect a little early, starting in 2167, T-16 years until Eden Prime.

    A story of talented people who are divergent, alien, heroes of their own stories, and victims of the times. Featuring: Caffeine addictions. Everyday life as a Spectre. Unconventional interrogations. Boring council meetings. Old frenemies. Ancient artifacts. Life after death. The people behind the legends. Bullets. Many, many bullets.

    Summary

    The memory faded, leaving him with a warmth lingering in the hand, -his real hand not the mechanical one- that squeezed Nihlus’ shoulder so long ago. Saren looked down to his hand and flexed it, the ghost heat disappearing with it, the perpetual cold setting back in his bones and he shivered. Now he had a longing for a warm body he will never again feel next to his. Curse his wretched photographic memory. Remembering every twitch of warm muscle under hide, every sigh of pleasure at his talons' ministrations, every lick of hot breath over his own hide… Those shocked and betrayed eyes as he shot him.

    Summary

    Rewrite of my work: Who Saves the Hero?

    Humanity imagined many things when they took to the stars, yet they really didn't expect an alien attack, an almost invasion, and then to discover that they were very much newcomers to the Galactic scene. The Citadel Council has been in existence for 10,000 years, the Asari Republics space faring for 18000 years prior to its founding. In a galaxy where Humanity makes up less than one half of one percent of a population of three and a half trillion beings; one mere human, no matter who she is, feels like one impossibly small light striving against the vast darkness. How can one formerly dead human Spectre, working for a terrorist human supremacist organization she does not trust, prevail against the Collectors while attempting to discern Cerberus' true intentions? Where can she turn to for allies when the Council openly doubts her sanity and the Alliance does not trust her? When everything around her has changed during the two years she was dead, including her own body and mind, can she find something solid enough to rebuild her life upon?

    Lazarus being brought back from the dead had been a miracle; to Spectre Amanda Athene Shepard that seemed to be the easy part.

    Summary

    The mission to Akuze should've been simple, but once they arrived, Amber Shepard had the misfortune to watch Thresher Maws slaughter her comrades. Just as she was on the brink of death, she found herself under the care of Saren Arterius. If she wants to get back home, they'll have to form a bond of trust.

    If this bond of trust can help with diplomacy between the humans and the Council races, then this bond of trust can also help them stand together when strange events show up to test the fate of the galaxy.

    Summary

    Phil Shepard arranges with the Citadel Council and Admiral Hackett to award campaign medals to the crews of Fifth Fleet and the Normandy after the Battle of the Citadel.

    This grew out of a tumblr post where I unveiled the Citadel Fleet Service medal I designed with a press-release/Citadel-elevator-news-announcement-type vignette.

    Summary

    Prompt: "Do you think you could teach me that?" -Shega

    It's been a while since I stretched my Shega muscles, and for this prompt I was torn between gymnastics or an armed drill team routine, but my brain took it in a whole other direction, and it became some serious post-war fluff for everyone's favorite Commander and the galaxy's biggest flirt, James Vega. It was written for a tumblr prompt. I hope you enjoy!
