Summary
Commander Shepard found herself blasted out of one world and into another. Quite literally.
Her adventures took a turn from interstellar travel and warfare to, well… an utterly medieval planet. Just when she thought she’d seen it all, she was now faced with an unfamiliar world, horrible cartography, goddamn magic, new species, and horses. Oh, and dragons; mustn’t forget the dragons.Or: commander Shepard lands on Thedas, ass-first, and joins Bull's Chargers.

Summary
A retelling of the romance between Shepard and Thane Krios in Mass Effect. Covers ME2. Takes a look at the trauma Shepard has accumulated, and her coping skills (or lack thereof).
Mixed Thane and Shepard POVs, with other brief character POVs as necessary. Smut chapters marked with * because sometimes you just want naughty things, and I respect that.
I own nothing from BioWare. Some dialogue is lifted directly from the game.
A preview:
I watch from the vents, blood and carnage play out below me. A quariuan, odd. A turian, interesting. A human at the head, dancing through battle. A flow of blood bathes her as she kills a mercenary with her omniblade. Another comes from behind. Headshot. Dead. “Scoped and dropped!”. Cheeky banter calls back. Humor in her voice. Lilting laughter like bells. She is marvelous.

Summary
She is Commander Shepard, and this is her favorite coffee shop on the Citadel. One day while on shore leave, Shepard has a fateful encounter with a drell, one Tannor Nuara. They keep bumping into each other, and eventually form a friendship. This friendship, in turn, becomes something more. Are they destined to be together, or will fate keep them apart in the war to come?
Follows the events of the Mass Effect series. As the story progresses, we take a look at the trauma Shepard has accumulated and her reactions to it, as well as her coping skills (or lack thereof).
Rated E for eventual smut. Contains game dialogue. I own nothing from BioWare.

***AAAAHHH GUYS! We made it to 100 kudos! If you're checking to see if the prologue for Part 3 is out yet, you might be thinking something like, "WTF Zloane, we're at 100, give us the goods". I feel you! BUT, my most wonderful, bestest readers, the goal was 100 kudos for Part 2 AND Part 1. But okay, I see that we're having a hard time getting there. I will lower the threshold for Part 1 to 75 kudos (that's doable, right?!?!) In the meantime, follow me on tumblr for updates and shenanigans: @zoeysloane***

“Garrus,” she tries.
He chirps. A trilling sound. His lips barely move as he does it.
“Oh,” she says, pushing herself up into a sitting position. “Translator must be fucked.”

Summary
Seconds before an electromagnetic pulse wipes out the Reapers and takes all Quantum Entanglement Communications with it, Miranda receives a message from the Shadow Broker.
When the dust settles, Shepard is left to pick up the pieces of herself and decide, once and for all, who she wants to be without the Alliance or the Council’s influence. She should want peace and quiet, a white picket fence to park herself in with Liara. The universe certainly seems to expect it of her.
Unfortunately for the universe, Shepard can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble. Habits like that are hard to break.

Summary
Part 2 of the Across the Stars Series:
Two years ago Commander Leila Shepard died. Now she must grapple with the shock of not only remembering her death, but suddenly being thrust into yet another urgent mission to save the galaxy.
Garrus Vakarian, having spent the years coming to terms with the loss of his best friend, now faces a renewed wave of grief as she unexpectedly reenters his life. Seeing her again throws his already crumbling life into disarray as feelings he had attempted to tamp down are brought to the surface.
Despite their individual struggles, Garrus and Shepard are forced to rely on each other to survive. And if they’re going up against insurmountable odds, they might as well face them side by side.
———
Story extends through the events of Mass Effect 2 and six months beyond. Heavily focused on all the little moments in between missions. Mostly canon compliant (until it’s not), but with extra feelings. This story will NOT always follow the canon order of events.
