The Weight of Survival by Plumppig
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
03 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The Weight of Survival begins in the aftermath of the Reaper War, when the Normandy crash-lands following the detonation of the Crucible. Commander Jane Shepard, gravely wounded and presumed dead, disappears in the chaos. What follows is a sweeping, character-driven narrative of grief, survival, and the fragile hope of rebuilding, not only for Shepard, but for her crew, her family, and the galaxy itself.
At its heart, the story explores Shepard’s struggle to reclaim her identity after immense sacrifice, while grappling with her pregnancy—made possible through Leviathan-altered biology and the crushing symbolic weight placed on her by allies and leaders alike.

Summary
James Vega had helplessly watched the whole scene, clutching Dr. Bryson's dying body in his arms. His protests had been to no avail; Commander Shepard seemed deaf to his every word, focused more on questioning that unknown alien entity than on saving an innocent life. He himself felt overwhelmed by her presence, and not just because she was higher in rank. She seemed almost possessed, her gaze bloodshot and her voice trembling with rage. The lieutenant had continued to rack his mind until they had returned to the Normandy and at that moment it occurred to him to talk to the only person in the Galaxy to whom that woman had ever listened.
Leave the light on if you're able
'Cause we both know you're unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is fair'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal

Summary
"I don't..." Garrus glances away from the drink he had laid out beside him. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do without you. It..." His hand clenches around her dog tags. "It was supposed to be me, not you." He places Shepard's chain around the other glass before gently clinking his own drink against it. A toast, the two of them were meant to share somewhere warm and tropical.
Set after the ending of Mass Effect 3 in which Garrus tries to reconcile with losing Shepard for the second time. However, as strange things start happening around the Normandy, perhaps not all hope is completely lost. (on hiatus)

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
Effected somehow by the Leviathan, Shepard no longer remembers her romantic relationship with Garrus. But her body doesn’t seem to agree with her new-found tunnel vision. Fighting with her own muscle memory of their time together, mistakes in her past threaten to resurface. Was the Leviathan right? Is the mission the only thing that should ever matter? What could be bigger or more important than saving the entire galaxy?
This is a different and more realistic take on a theory I’d written before in Back Where We Belong, inspired by some of the comments I’d received. I’d planned on putting it in as a Part 3, but I think it is too different and needs a place of its own
