Summary
Vulpixer's prompt "One of my favorite things is imagining the character's background and how it would shape them. Even though Shepard is a charismatic badass, I've wondered if it could ever just be a really good act. What if they're extremely shy and introverted, and they were "highly encouraged" to join the Alliance."
Portrait of a Shepard who is by temperament and choice...a straight arrow of a nerdy person, introverted and shy, working hard to maintain a persona of fire breathing force of nature.
Starts in ME1, AU afterward, Shepard inspiring changes in path and personality in others, which changes the galaxy. Shakarian with Thane insisting on 'it's really complicated' Shrios.
"Of Kittens and Broken Things" narrated on YouTube Me narrating with my husband providing the voice for Garrus. Huge thanks to KuraiUmmei who provided cover art and the voice of EDI and Irikah!

Summary
The essence that is Commander Shepard has fought the battle against the Reapers more times than she can count, only to find herself right back where it all started. Never the exact same body, never the same first name or history. The disembodied voice struggles to break her way through to the consciousness of her current incarnation, trying to find a way to break her own cycle.
(Brought over from FanFiction.net by an A03 user request!)[Please Note: The story starts basically the same as the game but changes as you advance. It has a slow start, but if you stick with it you'll be rewarded.]

Summary
New Chapters posted here now! Commander Jane Shepard. Colonist, War Hero, smart ass. When Spectre Nihlus Kryik says he is leaving the Normandy to investigate on his own, Shepard stops him. From that moment, ripples move out through the fabric of the reality we're familiar with, changing everything. Well, almost everything. The Reapers are coming.
In this first volume, Saren and the geth race to find the Conduit, starting the new cycle. Can Shepard beat them to it? Will this new reality be better equipped to deal with the Reaper threat, or will everything crumble to ruin? Canon-divergent where one small decision changes everything. Rated for language and smart assedness. Sexy times much later on.
Something AO3 doesn't do is make contacting people very easy ... outside of comments, of course. If you ever want to contact me privately, you are more than welcome to do so at [email protected]. :D

Summary
No sooner has his ship’s airlock decompressed Citadel dock-side than he hears her, a force of nature made auditory:
“Vakarian!”
The doors of the airlock part. She stands on the other side of his ship’s threshold, arms crossed, fury in her eyes.
“Shepard. Thanks for the welcoming committee.”
Her nostrils flare. “Cut the shit. You know why I’m here.”
* * *
Commander Jane Shepard has had a rough go of it — a childhood marred by a slaver attack and a military career that has brought her infamy — and despite the prestige of being appointed a Council Spectre, her life isn't getting any easier. A certain turian Spectre — young, hotheaded, with a chip on his shoulder and his name to prove — is going to help make sure of that.
A prequel to whose is it now?, but you can read them in any order you like.
