The Normandy Noticeboard by abject.thread reviews
The Normandy has always had a large noticeboard hanging in the crew mess to enhance crew communication, foster social bonds and create unity. All crew members are allowed to post, and make comments. Let chaos reign! Random ficlets about posts on the noticeboard that appear during the OT, much to Shepard's chagrin.

Twenty Questions by dragoonqueen reviews
Shepard and Garrus find themselves trying to pass the time while waiting to be dug out after a cave in. And what better way than by finding out more about your best friend and fellow captive. Eventual Shakarian fluff. BioWare owns the characters and universe, I just like playing in their sandbox. This is my first published fic so please be gentle.

This Is It by ArtemisFallen reviews
This is my attempt at an in depth dedication to the love and emotions shared between Garrus and Artemis Shepard. This story is an ongoing romance that takes place after the Reaper War. The first chapter is from the Extended Goodbye cut from ME3 and then grows from there leading up to the wedding every Garrus fan dreams of! Enjoy! Shakarian fluff, romance, comfort, love.

The Bastard and the Lady by Mischieff reviews
After the attack, Kathryn Cousland was left with a promise to keep and a Blight to fight. Alistair never thought he'd experience the feelings Kathryn caused in him but he'd best keep them to himself, especially when her first love miraculously reappears. This is not a novelization of the game but does stay close to lore. Includes an original sequel called "The Doppelganger"

Things the Normandy crew are not allowed to do as written by Council by Witchweather reviews
The Normandy crew has gotten bored now that the wars all over. The council has to set down some rules. Primarch Victus gets stuck in the middle But he was never a by the book kinda guy anyway. (Totally isn't a Victus fangirl. NOPE.) Hope you like. I might try to post more later. Disclaimer - I do not own mass effect.

The Meaning of Despair by 1991Kira reviews
Shepard thought she could take anything the Reapers threw at her. But what'll happen when she's forced to fight someone from her past who represents her greatest failure, and her greatest regret? ME3 AU One-shot. Dark. Mentions of Shakarian.

Hamsters and Shenanigans by Arctic Banana reviews
It's Commander Shepard's birthday and the crew surprise him with a party and convince him to take a few days off to go visit his mom. Garrus figures looking after his pets while he's away can't be too hard, right? It's not like hamsters are small and easy to lose and fish die easily or anything after all...

Standing In Her Line Of Fire by A Trashbag Writes reviews
"Shepard, sweetie, love of my life...Tell me you didn't." But she did. And Shepard doesn't quite know just how to tell him after all these years. You see, no one's ever been better at bottle-shooting than her, not even Archangel. [T for language]

The thing about Grunt by ImplicationsProblematic reviews
So the idea behind this is that, sometime between ME2 and ME3, Shepard is reminiscing about her crew and describing them to someone- maybe it's Vega, or Anderson, or Kaidan even. I'd quite like to do the rest of the crew as well, but we'll see.

Air and Lightning by Ashen Skies reviews
[What would it have been like if Shepard and Garrus had met as equals?] Spectre Vakarian decides to tag along on Shepard's mission to take down Saren. Their partnership develops in ways neither of them expected, with lots of banter and fluff. This story arc follows ME1 canon with some liberties taken. [FemShep/Garrus]

Hurt, Afraid, Frustrated, Miserable, and Angry by NuqueerWarhead reviews
Haestrom. Cerberus. The trial. The Alarei. The collector base. Tali is hurt, proud, afraid, confident, frustrated, brave, miserable, hopeful, angry, and so very strong. This is her perspective throughout the events of ME2. Includes missions and action, downtime on the Normandy, the comrades who give her strength, and the Cerberus bosh'tets she has to learn to like.

Choice and Consequence by FantasiaWandering reviews
Shepard is no stranger to difficult choices. Noveria. Virmire. Tuchanka. Consequences are something she's learned to live with. But the events surrounding the destruction of the Alpha Relay left her without a choice, and the consequences of that act are proving to be almost too much to bear. Fortunately, Shepard has also made choices that brought more positive outcomes. Like Garrus

No Shepard without Vakarian by Geekgirltori reviews
"They're not going to let you just barge in there, Garrus! They have protocol, you know. Who knows what condition she's in?" Tali says breathlessly. "I don't care." Garrus replied, "I want to see her…" "We all do, Garrus, but that doesn't mean any of us will get to see her this soon." "But I...I NEED to see her..."

After Corypheus had fallen, they'd expected things to get easier. Cullen and Ellana had learned this wasn't the case!

Set after Inquisition, but before Trespasser. Feedback welcome. Hope you enjoy!
