Summary
Shepard had had a tough life. She found some good friends and has made some annoying enemies. Her life is complicated but enjoyable. Routine mission after mission, working up the N ranks. Her most recent mission to Akuze seems routine, and she even met a cute turian before she shipped out. Looking forward to meeting up with him after her mission, Shepard heads out, not knowing how this one mission will shape her future with the Alliance. Her best friend, Toombs, seems excited to work with her again. “At least the planet has a cool name. Akuze. Definitely sounds like something I could get tattooed on me once we get back. Maybe come up with a cool story about how I won a fight there."

The Weight of Survival by Plumppig

Summary
The Weight of Survival begins in the aftermath of the Reaper War, when the Normandy crash-lands following the detonation of the Crucible. Commander Jane Shepard, gravely wounded and presumed dead, disappears in the chaos. What follows is a sweeping, character-driven narrative of grief, survival, and the fragile hope of rebuilding, not only for Shepard, but for her crew, her family, and the galaxy itself.
At its heart, the story explores Shepard’s struggle to reclaim her identity after immense sacrifice, while grappling with her pregnancy—made possible through Leviathan-altered biology and the crushing symbolic weight placed on her by allies and leaders alike.

Summary
2169. Humanity reached the stars, and met its limits.
Once a classified subject at Gagarin Station, Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko carries the quiet legacy of the BAaT program: a body engineered for power, a mind trained for restraint, and a past that still bleeds through the cracks.
When he’s reassigned to the SSV Normandy, he expects duty and protocol — not Commander Shepard, a woman as driven as she is volatile. The galaxy is changing, the Alliance is watching, and control has never been harder to keep.
It takes measured people to survive a war. Shepard is anything but measured.
A canon-compliant retelling of Mass Effect 1 through Kaidan Alenko’s eyes. From the shadows of Gagarin Station to the fire of the Citadel.

Summary
A chance encounter on the Citadel following the events of the Skyllian Blitz in 2180, leads Kara Shepard and Garrus Vakarian to meet earlier than the canon Mass Effect timeline. Kara is freshly promoted, completed her N7 training, and ready to take the next step in her five year plan. C-Sec Officer Garrus Vakarian has been upgraded from beat cop to actual crime investigation, and probably on the fast track to making detective whether he wants to or not. The two cannot fight their chemistry.

Summary
Trying to save the universe isn't just point and shoot. It's dangerous, gritty, and painful. It's sleepless nights, loss of appetite, addictions, endless politics, and injuries. But there are bright moments where your friends and crew are there for you, when connections are made, and where you love each other unconditionally. You are all brethren born of ash and flame and baptized in battle together. You are shaped by wit and banter, alcohol and war stories. This is the story of how deep friendships go, how they were forged, and how the beginning of the end molds Shepard and Garrus into one solid front against it.
