Summary
Isabel Shepard is on house arrest while being tried for war crimes. Kaidan Alenko is preparing to testify on her behalf. Turns out that when you love someone – and you've taken on saving the world together – it takes a lot more than escaping death, Collectors, Cerberus, Reapers, and a court martial to get them off your mind.
Let's call this a novelization, told through the memories of two people who really, really miss each other. Mostly canon compliant with a couple of tweaks here and there.

Summary
A low whistle. Easily mistaken for some sort of bird call under a city’s noise, but this was the Citadel’s Wards, this was just outside Chora’s Den—
It happened so quickly, it almost felt as if it didn’t happen at all: Shepard’s pistol—more ornament than weapon—unholstered, pressed into the temple of a human relaxed against the wall, barely poking out of the alleyway.
A thousand questions rushed into his mind, all leading to the same itching conclusion: in all the conversations they’d had, between all the questions she’d asked—about his family, his desires, his history—he’d never asked a single in return.
Then, another question, like a bullet in his brain—
Had anyone?

Summary
It takes Shepard and Kaidan some time to grow close. It takes them even longer to realize they can hold hands without needing a reason.
[Alternatively titled: 'five times they hold hands with an excuse + one time they didn't need one'. Told in snapshots throughout the trilogy.]

Summary
Three Months after the events of From The Ashes.
Major Kaidan Alenko and Faith Shepard prepare for the biggest day of their lives, but a new faction threatens to rise up and finish what the Reapers failed to start.
I recommend reading both Phoenix Rising (Book One) and From The Ashes (Book Two) before reading this instalment.
***New***: Chapter 20: Kaidan and Shepard finally get some answers, but they're woefully unprepared for the truth.

Summary
"I will fall in love with you...over and over again."
Commander Jenny Shepard has two things to prove: to the galaxy, that a scrappy street kid from Earth can become a hero. To herself, that everything she's been through will be worth it in the end.
Dr. Liara T'Soni just wants to be left alone. No, really, she does! And if things do sometimes get a little too lonely, well, she's only 106. There's plenty of time for company later.
Benezia and Councilor Tevos are brokering a deal with the Alliance: galactic respect and an appointment of the first human Spectre in exchange for Alliance protection of some asari interests. One of those interests being Matriarch Benezia's daughter, Liara, on a dig site on the fringes of Council Space.
In which the Reapers don't exist, but fate still manages to bring two people together. Or, the beautiful slow(ish) burn AU I've been imagining for years.

Summary
Following Saren's defeat, Commander Shepard is relegated to geth-hunting in the Traverse--a waste of her talents, by all accounts. During a routine sweep on Sidon, Shepard and her team discover evidence that threatens to reignite the chase they so recently concluded: A smuggling ring on the Citadel, a scavenger hunt for Sovereign's missing pieces, and a plot to open the Citadel relay once again to darkspace. A new Saren is on the rise and the Reapers are just getting started.

Summary
You wake up in a world you’ve explored a thousand times before- a game you know inside and out. Except now, it’s real. You’re Commander Shepard, an Earthborn hero who tries to keep it together under pressure but can’t help getting a little awkward when flustered. You overthink, over-plan, and want so badly for everything to turn out right, even when the galaxy seems determined to fall apart. Your moral compass? A messy mix of Paragon ideals and Renegade pragmatism- whatever it takes to make it through.
This story rewrites the possibilities: What if major character deaths could be avoided? What if fan-favorite mods for the Legendary Edition were brought to life in a way that feels just as personal? It’s not just about saving the galaxy; it’s about navigating the relationships that make the journey worth it. Shepard will explore multiple relationships, but it all builds toward a long, slow-burn romance with Garrus.

She's on a race against time, she must learn to counter dangers she hasn't planned for and make choices that will stand the test of time.

Summary
In 2160, the Batarian Hegemony launched a brutal assault on the Pact of Mutual Understanding—a coalition of humanity and its various allies. For two harrowing years, the Frontier and Fringes burned as the Pact fought to repel the relentless invaders. United by superior technology and resilience, they emerged victorious but at great cost, leaving scars across the galaxy.
When the war ended, the Citadel Council extended a hand of diplomacy. Wielding mysterious mass effect technology, they promised stability—but the war-weary Pact saw both opportunity and peril in their offer.
Thus began the age of MASS EFFECT.
