Are we more than our memories? by NoPunnyNamesLeft

Summary
How does spending two years dead affect your brain?
Will your neurons survive? Will your memories remain intact? Will you remain intact?This is a fanfic of Colonist Sole survivor + Ruthless Shepard thrust back into a galaxy he barely remembers, that seems to barely remember him (that last part is pretty much canon)
I guess this is 1st person depresso Shepard dealing with the BS of the Mass Effect universe that you didn't know you didn't need.
My first serious foray into writing, so feedback welcome! And encouraged!

Dr Dixon's Xenobiology for the human space explorer - with comments by Dr Mordin by NoPunnyNamesLeft
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy

Summary
Because my brain works in this way, I decided I would like to have a dedicated resource for the xenobiology in my ME headcanon. And lucky you, you get to read it!
Information uses established lore where possible, building on it with other creators' fanon (will be referenced when possible), and a lot of my own. Unless otherwise specified, any of my ME works will use this as a reference. This work is subject to revision if I get any brilliant ideas.
PS. Dr Dixon is named after Dougal Dixon, a Scottish paleontologist who was also one of the founders of speculative evolution.

Of course I've spoken to other turians before! by NoPunnyNamesLeft
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy

Summary
So when i noticed the turians are based on the Roman empire (including a lot of names), I came up with this stupid idea.
Even made an AO3 account exclusively to subject others to it. As implied, this is my first fanfic ever, so don't expect high quality writing! Feedback is welcome, but don't tell me the humour is bad. I knew that from the beginning.
The Shali part of the story is very much not the main focus; mostly banter between Shepard, Garrus, and the rest of the crew.

Summary
Having retired to the quiet shores of Rannoch after the war, John Shepard and Tali’Shepard are starting to get a little stir-crazy. But as their escapades of saving the galaxy are now behind them, what could possibly prove to be as worthy of a challenge?
Starting up a farm, that’s what! A farm that will aim to produce the best damn bottle of whiskey on the planet.
As it turns out, turning a war-hardened Spectre into a farmer is a mission of entirely different proportions. Between the struggle of navigating a cross-species marriage, the struggles of operating a farm on a new world, and a distillery that refuses to cooperate, Shepard and Tali will find out that a life without war might be the toughest thing that they’ve ever faced.
Still is not a story about angst and pain, however. It is a story about the messy, hilarious, and deeply moving process of healing with a loved one and finding a purpose outside of battle. A multi-year journey of recovery, where the stakes are simple, in which Shepard only seeks to support his family, build a kick-ass farm, and finally create an equally kick-ass bottle of whiskey.
Welcome to Still.

Summary
You have Tali. You have snek. Now you have snek Tali because my friends and I over at a discord server can't stop coming up with headcanons for her. This might or might not be a series of one-shots. Honestly, this is my second time writing any fanfiction fully so we'll see how it goes. This fanfic starts Post-ME1 and Pre-ME2. They're fully romanced, so I'll probably have to upload a prequel fic for this someday.
