Summary
What if Shepard and the Cerberus crew members all defected to the Alliance after ME2? What if Shepard managed to get word to the Batarians and the 300,000 survived? What if Shepard spent the six months between ME2 and ME3 preparing for the Reapers?
A three/four shot fic
(A purely self indulgence fic. This only exists because I wanted it to. I'm sick of Shepard not getting the recognition and praise she deserves.)

So many things have gone wrong. But then there's her. A good luck charm, if he dared to let himself believe in that sort of thing. Maybe it's worth a shot.
(another shakarian fic, this time with Garrus as my focal character)

Summary
“Working late, Miss vas Normandy? Pretty girl like you doesn't have anyone waiting up for her?”
Shepard’s voice purrs honey-sweet in the way the older woman knows gets to her, making Tali feel overly warm, especially in her lower stomach.
Even through the suit's audio pickups, it's like a hot whisper on the back of her neck.
_____
chronologically weird (it's definitely post ME2 and pre ME3 so uh. idk) one shot, established relationship femshep/Tali, shepard riles Tali up and uses Nerve-Stim Pro ~Deluxe~ to help her masturbate in engineering that's it that's the fic

Summary
“Came to check on the two of you, but it seems you’ve got it all tied down.” He skates a hand over his fringe, relieved. “You’ve done this a time or two, it seems.”
“Once or twice,” Solana agrees. Etarn’s close enough that his knee brushes up against hers. She tips her head. “Did you want us to show you the ropes?”
Etarn taps a talon against her knee. “I wouldn’t say no to the help,” he agrees easily. His mandibles flare a little, and he leans in. “It’s always nice to meet someone who knows what they’re doing.”
“I agree,” Solana says. Across the stove, Aellae smothers a laugh into one hand.
solana's spent a long, long time without a break. maybe this little jungle expedition with an old friend will be just what she needs.

“…Cosmic horror from before space-travel. The Fermi paradox. Images of the Collectors and how he could be moulded to fit with them too. How he could be changed. “

Summary
After negotiating with Hackett, Kaidan and Eris are at their marital home, the cabin in the orchard. Both are under house arrest and sort of in their pre-Eden Prime life, almost living as if the Reapers aren’t heading through dark space when another curveball is thrown their way.
Tinkering with the idea of a longer time between the Alpha Relay destruction and the Reapers arrival, along with discussions of the Andromeda Project.
Admiring the much broader line of Kaidan’s shoulders, Eris wandered after him, sighing softly at the rippling movement when he reached back for her hand.
In their bedroom, he drew her to him. Her death was filled with so much wasted time and regret it damn near swallowed him whole. With a raw ache in his voice, he said. “I love the way you do that.”
She looked up at him, her fingers twirling gently in his thick, dark chest hair for another moment. His wet hair curled a little at the ends, and she reached up to scrunch it, then traced the line of his jaw with her fingertip. “Do what?”

Summary
“We’ll just set it on the bed,” the guard says, the opened box being set aside before they back up, the door being closed a second later.
Shepard’s still a little bit concerned as she makes her way to it, but she trusts Vega and the guards that have been assigned to her, so it’s only with slightly uneasy hands that she takes the audio log out of the box.
That brings a blush to Shepard’s cheeks, because she’s sure that the guards listened to it to make sure it’s not escape plans or something, and if they think that she and Tevos are together……she’s slightly concerned about what's on the audio log.
Especially with her girlfriend being the Shadow Broker and all.
Actually…..is Liara her girlfriend?
(Shepard spends time pining in lockup pre-Mass Effect 3)

Summary
Finally the projector produced a coherent image, and Byron pulled himself to attention, and saluted. "Admiral Shepard."
She had an electronic cigarette with her this time, as well as the ever-present cup of coffee. She brewed it like rocket fuel; he'd gotten the taste from her. She looked exhausted, but was smiling. "You're never going to stop doing that, are you?"
"No, ma'am," Byron said, grinning. "Happy birthday. For what it's worth."
"Birthdays are a human thing. Don't think Reapers have them." Admiral Shepard took a drag on the cigarette and stared contemplatively into the middle distance. "Hell, that's enough of a reason to celebrate. Thanks, kid."

Summary
Joker is worried about his Commander, his best friend as it were. He reaches out for help while she is being held for an inquiry after handing herself into the Alliance. The only person he knows with a high enough rank that might listen to him is her ex but her ex is a good guy. Maybe asking Kaidan, another friend for help isn't the end of the world.

Summary
“This isn’t going to be like riding shotgun in the Mako, is it?” he asked, only half-teasing, as he settled himself before Jane, legs bracketing her.
“Concerned I’m going to wreck you too, Vakarian?” she grinned, running her hands up along his shins and over his platted thighs.

Summary
Stripped of rank and indefinitely under house arrest, Shepard took the development in stride to spend what little time she afforded the Alliance to prepare for the Reapers. After all, she was good at compartmentalizing, except when an unexpected visit severs the last vestiges of her control.
(Set during Shepard's incarceration in Vancouver, in between the events of The Arrival and Mass Effect 3.)

Summary
What can you do after meeting Commander Shepard? What is there after too many revelations, after Pragia, after Cerberus, after the collector base and a suicide mission that didn't actually kill you? Maybe two "all powerful bitches" understand each other a bit better than they expected. Maybe they can even help each other decide what comes next.
