Humanity never developed FTL. The Prothean archives contained no technology, no Element Zero, just a warning. Isolated from the rest of the galaxy for two thousand years, restricted to their only system, how will humanity have changed when they first meet the Turians? AU, alternate history of humanity and First Contact.

When Naruto is ten, an incident makes him run away from the leaf village. Read how it changes certain things in his life when he runs into certain mist missing nins. But fate has a way of righting itself as Naruto lives a life among new friends while working his magic and changing lives, working for the day when he fulfills his dream. Believably stronger Naruto. NO YAOI

Inspired by Silver Queen's "Dreaming of Sunshine." Ripples turn into waves and crash upon the shores of what is and what could be, and I was just someone else who got pulled under. I didn't realize that even a drowning person makes waves of their own. A SI OC story.

Life as a ninja. It starts with confusion and terror and doesn't get any better from there. OC Self-insert. No pairings.

One galaxy, two Shepards; their lives will never be the same again. With the Collectors defeated, John Shepard is about head back through the Omega 4 relay when the unthinkable happens and he and his crew are suddenly teleported back to Virmire. Once there, they stumble upon the Normandy SR-1 and he soon finds out that there's a Jane Shepard in charge and nothing is as it seems.

Harry was never the only person with a penchant for tripping into the most absurd of situations. Reincarnated!Hermione. Somewhat darker than the usual take on Naruto. Political machinations. Character progression. Strong friendship, no romance.

The evolution of Shepard and Garrus' relationship through the events of ME2.

The Reapers are defeated, and the galactic community is barely holding together after the presumed death of Commander Shepard and the disappearance of the Normandy. The return of both, with unexpected complications, prompts a whole lot of questions, and very few answers. WARNING: baby! Post-ME3, canon tweaking. Rated M for mature themes.

Shepard knows that destroying the Reapers will kill her. Trouble is, she's never been good at dying. The explosion of dark energy from the Crucible thrusts Shepard into a totally different universe. Post ME3 ending, DA2 Act 2 beginning. Please note that this is not a FemShep/F!Hawke fic. THIS STORY HAS RECENTLY BEEN EDITED TO ALIGN WITH GAME CANON REVEALED IN DA:I

The life and times of Thena Shepard, one letter at a time.

2157: The Turian Hierarchy launches a secretive war against a new species known as 'humanity'. The first major battleground is the outlying colony world of Shanxi, defended by the 3rd Garrison Division of the Systems Alliance Marines. With overwhelming odds against them, the hopes of Shanxi rest with the fledgling Alliance fleet...and unlikely allies within the ranks of their foes.

Ten billion people over here die, so twenty billion over there can live. After the war, there are pieces to pick up, and lives to rebuild. And even with the Reapers gone, nothing is easy.

AU First Contact War. It was 48 years of endless slaughter and death. And from the pain and suffering of such unprecedented conflict, emerged an unprecedented plot, born of hate, to bring it all to an end...

Is a second chance enough? Instead of the Catalyst's choices, Shepard lucks into a cosmic loophole. Thrown back to the very start of her Spectre career, she has to try and save the galaxy again from the Reapers ... but does she really know what's coming? 2015 NaNoWriMo winner!

A young soldier supposedly dies on the field of battle at a conflict in the 21st century. Only to wake up in a world unlike his own, with alien races he only thought existed in fiction, and caught in a war he couldn't even hope to possibly understand.

What if Naruto had been selected for a different team? What if he'd had a different mentor? Who would guess the consequences would be so large?

Petunia married a biochemist, and Harry grew up reading science and science fiction. Then came the Hogwarts letter, and a world of intriguing new possibilities to exploit. And new friends, like Hermione Granger, and Professor McGonagall, and Professor Quirrell... COMPLETE.

One lesson Uzumaki Naruto taught the world was that glass ceilings are fragile, and limits are only for the fools who believe in them.

The toads raise Naruto to replace Minato as their summoner. Trained as a sage, Naruto will strike out to find his fellow jinchuriki. Just not in the way you would expect.

This is my take on what happened to Shepard, Garrus, and the rest of the crew after Mass Effect 3. Post-destroy. The Reaper war may be over, but the galaxy is a long way from peace. However, now, they all have a chance at a happy ending, a ending that they all deserve.

This ninja business? It isn't for the faint of heart. Luckily Aiko is far from faint, even if she did get stuck with a ridiculously girly name. SI, OC, whatever you want to call it. Rating is for language.

AU. Garrus Vakarian didn't get into the Spectres to babysit a popstar. Much to his relief, that didn't turn out to be entirely the case. Hiatus!

Jessica swears to god this was not what she was expecting after celebrating her twenty-first birthday. Waking up in a huge forest missing a boot and leafs in her hair was not her idea of a fun hangover. OC-insert. Copious swearing and a character who is not putting up with ninja BS.

COMPLETE. Sometimes, even the softest breath on still water can create tsunamis. Several weeks before meeting his genin team, Kakashi is sent to find a bounty hunter responsible for the deaths of five missing-nin, all rumored to be part of a secret organization. But Uzumaki Kurama is far different than anyone expected, and ripples are starting to spread. Slash/yaoi, time travel

By a sick twist of fate, the mission to Wave ends in disaster for Sakura. Terrified of her own home and the people she should trust the most, she finds herself on the run. When real life seems stranger than fiction, is there any way to carve out a normal life?

Post-ME3 (destroy ending). After the destruction of the Reapers and synthetic life, the crew of the Normandy struggle to accept the possible loss of their Commander. As the galaxy begins to pick up the pieces of what they lost, a new discovery could mean the war is still not over ... Garrus/FemShepard pairing, possible others to surface as story continues.

Shepard had destroyed the Reapers, but at the cost of her synthetic friends' lives. She found herself still quite alive on Earth... with extra injuries. Rated T, just to be safe.

People are not always honorable. Many discard promises at a whim. A perfect promise would be absolute, unbreakable. For Uzumaki Naruto, this is his bane; bound to keep his promises, no matter the cost. Chewie Cookies #2 Challenge. Main Pair - NaruHina

The Prothean Ruins weren't. They contained little more than mentionings of an Alien Society; as a result, humanity develops on a completely different path than what was intended, and when first contact is made not with the Turians, but a desperate, destitute race viewed as beggars and thieves, how will this dying race change Humanity? And how will Humanity change the Galaxy? *A/U!*

Aang isn't there when Zuko comes to the South Pole and Azula takes a more direct interest in protecting her place as the heir apparent. These two facts set off a chain of events that changes everything. There's no going back. Estimated word total of about 160,000. Fem-Sokka centric story with plenty of interest in Zuko as well. Complete summary inside.

He got just close enough to grab her arm before she could reach the request button. "Shepard." When she spun around to face him, her features showed something familiar, something like he had felt all night. Surprise. Garrus could tell himself it was hunger, but he could feel it in the pit of his stomach and all through him that he was just about to do something very stupid. -F!SxGV

This is the story of Dominic Shepard and his twin sister Primrose. This story starts during ME2 and will probably go past ME3. Slight canon, but will be changed up to fit my characters. Please R&R. Garrus/OC and M!Shepard/Liara.

Logan reveals the threat that hovers over Albion and, in doing so, changes events from the path that Fate and a certain Seer originally wrought. Fable III AU.

This is a sequel to A Chance Encounter. That story does stand alone, but I couldn't resist more Victus/FemShep fun. This starts after the Collector base, but before Arrival, and continues into ME3. It's also drifting farther into AU with each chapter, because I cannot resist Victus.

The story of ME1 told through the eyes of Teresa Shepard and Garrus Vakarian from the moment they first met. Prequel to No Shepard Without Vakarian/Rhapsody in Green. (Active.)

Snippets exploring the friendship / relationship between Garrus & Shepard. Set in and around game play events from ME2 & ME3, but not a retelling of the story.

John and Jane survived the accident that killed their parents, but were cruelly separated. As John was molded into a paragon war hero, Jane grew into a no-nonsense problem solver - who solved her problems with her fists. Established M!Shep/Tali, eventual Garrus/Fem Shep. All chapters begin with a flashback giving John and Jane's backstories. Follows the events of ME3.

Everything starts somewhere. With the touch of a hand, a laugh, a smile, paying attention to a friend in pain or grief. Sometimes it starts by not saying a word and letting actions speak for themselves. Garrus/(f) Shep, pre-romance.

Follow Garrus as he progresses through different levels of attachment to the great Commander Shepard; fondness, respect, friendship, full blown hero-worship, and something that gets lost in-between. Set ME1

In a universe where the turian's won the first contact war, and as a result took the humans as their slaves. Because of this, most humans still with their freedom are on the run. This is a story about Captain Garrus Vakarian, aka Archangel, commissioned human hunter, and Commander Jane Shepard, captured war criminal, realizing the line between lover and enemy is as fine as silk.

A different take on the First Contact War. AU because Garrus is involved. It's just a oneshot, so read it!

Five years after losing Shepard, Garrus thinks he has a way to lock away his grief forever. Three thousand years later, it's still after him. Post-ME3, an attempt to write a happy conclusion to the Control ending. Eventual Shakarian.

An Alphabet fic chronicling the life of Jane Shepard from "Lazarus Rising" (GarrusxFemshep) in 26 short chapters. Takes place from her childhood and includes some events from ME1.

Commander Shepard wakes from a coma two years after the destruction of the Reapers and finds nothing is as easy as she'd thought it would be (which wasn't very easy to begin with).

Being resurrected is not easy or simple. The Normandy is destroyed, her comrades scattered and the Council has turned their back on her. Shepard is forced to examine the choices and attitude that led her here...and forge a new path. garrusxfemshep. REVAMPED.

After the Forest of Death, Sakura comes to realize that being weak is no longer an option. However, she finds that change is sometimes painful and that truth doesn't always come easy. Luckily, she'll have some help along the way.

When "It'll be fun!" bears too striking a resemblance to "death by humiliation." A Citadel DLC ficlet.

A series of sniper-related vignettes spanning all three games, tracking the friendship - and eventual relationship - between Garrus and Shepard.

When the prison-ship Purgatory fell, more than just Jack got out in the chaos. And now someone is stalking and killing the Citadel's war refugees — but when the killer suddenly changes his MO, Shepard has little choice but to get involved; can she catch someone who's already slipped through the cracks once — more importantly, can she do it before he hurts anyone else?

The Commander, as many would agree, is not a touchy-feely sort of person. Why she can't keep her hands off Garrus, then, is a mystery to her turian mate. Rated M for suggestive themes. Set mid-ME2 somewhere. Cute and fluffy. One-shot.

When a chance meeting reveals Harry's planned fate to Lockhart, he knows what he has to do: rescue him and raise him as his own to properly manage his celebrity status. Harry gets a magical upbringing, Lockhart gets the Boy-Who-Lived...everybody wins!

Reading a smutty book's left Gaara with some questions. Gaara's questions might give Sakura a mental breakdown. GaaSaku, fluffy and completely not serious crack.

Fifteen-year-old Sakura never expected to become a traitor to her village, but in a Konoha ruled by Danzou, she has no other choice. Finding her path entangling with the village's most infamous renegade, though, was another story entirely. ItaSaku AU.

AU cliche. When the Sandaime fell, a nightmare descended upon Konoha. But on the day the nightmare began, no one noticed that one teacher's aid and a few young children disappeared. That simple fact may be the only hope Konoha has left.

Sasuke kills Naruto. Sasuke gets killed. They both end up in a new life, and then another life, and another...whoever said life for the children of gods was easy? Watch as they come into their divinity...NaruSasu.

During the timeskip, Sakura finds a very interesting diary among Tsunade's books and papers. Trouble ensues. Minor crossover with Harry Potter. COMPLETE

The Kyuubi was sealed into the infant Nara Shikamaru. Twelve years later at the Chuunin exams, the lazy Genin meets Gaara, and finds his peaceful, passive life disrupted. Fights, plots, secrets, lies, demons, ninja! How troublesome... [COMPLETE!]

Kakashi takes a moment to wrap his mind around equating Ino’s chest with enemy shinobi while Asuma begins beating his head against the table and groaning about how he didn’t sign up for this. Rated for language and the general horror that is puberty
