Summary
Decades ago, a Turian patrol fired on an unknown, heavily armed reconnaissance force attempting to activate relay 314, sparking a war with a new, militant alien society armed with an almost entirely alien technological paradigm.
Though peace was brokered by the council, the Alliance's refusal to join the Council, their belligerent response to external aggression and their embrace of Sapient AI has kept tensions between them simmering.
When a rogue Spectre with an army of hostile AI turns a joint operation into the spark of a new war, keeping the peace will fall to an Alliance Commander and a Spectre. And keeping the peace may well prove to be harder than unraveling the mystery of the rogue Spectre, and his connection to the doom of the Protheans.

Summary
Shepard always thought she'd seen it all, and the Universe *always* had a way of proving her wrong at every turn. But this time it was different. Nothing could have prepared her for this... (A found family re-telling of Mass Effect 3 that explores the question: What if the kid from the vent was just a kid?) Rating upgraded from T to M due to mentions of alcohol. No smut.

Summary
Shepard smiles but something about it feels off, like she’s tired but no amount of sleep will help. The scars crisscrossing her cheek betray that, and it makes his own sting.
The look on her face is gentle, something reserved just for the low lighting of the late hours. A trill she can’t hear vibrates in his chest. It’s good to have her back, even if there’s still a dissonance lingering because he spent the last two years mourning her and coming to terms with that, only for her to come blasting back into his life, as is her style.
“I missed you, Garrus,” she says. “That's so weird to say; I feel like it’s only been a few weeks, but… It’s like I went to sleep for a while and when I woke up everything was different.”
“Yeah,” he mutters. “Guess that’s taking some getting used to.”
Shepard must relearn her place in a galaxy that spent two years moving on and living without her; Garrus finds there are three women he must relearn: the Commander, Shepard, and Jane.

Summary
So, Shepard died, apparently. That's news to her. She wakes up in a different galaxy than the one she left. Guns are shit now, she looks like she's been through a trial of a thousand papercuts and nobody will tell her where Liara is.
She's going to fix it. She is going to do what is needed of her SO WELL that the Alliance will forget about what she has done, which is not only normal to want but possible to achieve. She's going to fix every one of these mentally ill idiots willing to join something advertised as a 'Suicide Mission', and she is going to punch the Illusive man in the dick. She's going to fix it all. With her fists if needs be.
She is going to find Liara.

Summary
"He wants to kill.
He wants to rip and tear and destroy.
He wants to howl at the moons and burn the galaxy to ash.
But he is krogan, and he understands that she died properly and gloriously, securing victory for them all. So he does not break beneath this new sensation. He does not give in to the urge to commit violence—so like those awful days before he became Clan Urdnot, and yet so terribly not.
Wrex is a good leader. He sees the storm brewing, and says, “You will be our emissary to her funeral, Grunt. She was your krannt.” -
