Quarian with a Shotgun by bofomania reviews
'Back to basics' collection of mostly behind-the-scenes episodes centered on Tali and her interactions with the crew of the Normandy SR1. Trying to be original while respecting canon story & lore (as much as possible). POV will vary: mostly other than Tali's, never Shepard's. No romance, but occasional hints at some Tali/Shepard 'chemistry.'

Warrior Ethos: 2 by 1054SS325MP reviews
The sequel to Warrior Ethos, this is a retelling of ME2. It has ManShep x Tali and FemShep x Garrus, and is designed to be very realistic, etc. A little bit AU. You don't need to read the first story, but it helps. It uses Calinstel's ideas on the quarian culture. Focuses more on the relationships and less on the missions. The information page is a separate story of mine.

Warrior Ethos: Tabula Rasa by 1054SS325MP reviews
This story takes place during ME2, and includes private moments between FemShep and Garrus that don't fit neatly into my larger Warrior Ethos universe. It deals with Jane's renegade past and whether, with the help of Garrus, she will overcome it or succumb to it. Slightly AU. It presumes ME1 romantic leanings, for example, and ManShep is in the universe but not in this story.
