Summary
When the slavers return to Mindoir, the Ashland family stands alone.
Jack Ashland—a retired Alliance Marine—fights to protect his children, Rogue and Scout, as the colony burns around them. But when tragedy strikes and Scout is taken, the twins must survive not just the battlefield, but the grief that follows. Reinforcements arrive too late to save their father, but not too late to carry his legacy forward.
Now, under the watchful eye of Rear Admiral Malcom Hawke, Rogue and Scout are given a choice: fade into the wreckage of war, or rise from it. At Vancouver Basic, they meet Justin Cavanaugh, a tech prodigy raised by biotic rights advocates, and Phoenix Matthews, a soldier born into legacy and pressure. Together, they begin a new chapter—one forged in fire, bound by loss, and driven by the hope of something more.
A story of survival, sacrifice, and the families we choose, The Last Light of Mindoir is a character-driven sci-fi drama about what it means to live after everything falls apart.

Summary
She's the Alliance's best spy and secret weapon. He's the one of the Council's newest Spectres and ex-Blackwatch operative. And if they don't manage to cause the next intergalactic incident from this assignment, they should both be showered in accolades from the Council.
But intergalactic cooperation is never that simple, is it?
Steamy, poignant, and full of action, this fic explores the darker and more complex version of female Shepard in a spy AU, and the space boyfriend we all know and love.
This is my first fic, but I've been dreaming of a spy thriller in the Mass Effect world for SO long. Can't wait to share this version of our reluctant, redheaded hero with you <3 . Updates to come probably multiple times a week, if not weekly!

Summary
Six years after the batarians were driven from Earth, Castis Vakarian brings his family to the upstart colony of Mindoir to catch up with his comrade and friend, Hannah Shepard. Her own son, John, is struggling with a crisis of worth following his baby sister's diagnosis as a latent biotic, juxtaposed with his own lack of such potential. Further complicating matters is the presence of the Vakarian scion, a rambunctious child named Garrus. Whatever normal development they may have had under these circumstances, however, will soon be superseded by a tragedy born of the consequences of human involvement in the larger galactic community, and a plot spanning decades that very few are aware of.
Mindoir is burning, and we're running out of places to flee to.

The threat of the Reapers has been held at bay with the defeat of Saren and Sovereign. The Citadel Council has been saved, albeit at the expense of many Alliance lives. With the Normandy in dock for repairs and shore leave ordered for the whole crew, Kaidan invites Allison Shepard to join him on his planned shore leave to Casablanca and Vancouver.
What starts off as fun and responsibility-free time together begins to unwind as the dreams Allison has been having since Eden Prime resurface with more frightening visuals. And when news of Terra Nova under threat from batarian terrorists filters through, Kaidan begins to see a side of Allison he'd never suspected would exist.
