"Firebase Ghost": by feriwan: OC (T, sci-fi/adventure, short-ish, complete). A team consisting of a turian, an asari, a krogan and 2 humans are given a mission on Benning. It starts out horribly, but how will it turn out? Based on ME3 multiplayer.

Thank you for reworking it, and thanks for your patience. Your fic has been added to the list.

Feriwan: your fic has likewise been added, and thankfully there were no formatting issues. But next time you submit a fic, please copy the format given in the opening post and don't remove the spaces between the brackets and the text. When you remove them, it converts the url into an actual link and sometimes that messes up the formatting when I try to add it to the list.

Demonique: As explained in the opening post, I don't have the time to look up synopses, rating info, characters, story genre/status, summaries and so forth. Please copy the format in the opening post and provide the necessary information. And please remember not to remove the spaces between the brackets and the info inside of them. I cannot add submissions to the list that are not formatted properly. Thanks.

Mass Effect Invictus is now finished, so you can shift the description on it to "complete". (That's the Shepard/Ashley, JasonShepardN7 one).

Whew, it's a nice feeling to finish a fic...

Thank you Drussius for keeping alive this list, I've found many wonderful fics thanks to it!

Anyway, here's my humble contribution (FShep and Garrus, post ME3):

[ * ] [ url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8075576/1/Symphony-of-grief-and-hope ]“Symphony of grief and hope”[ /url ] by MeredithvL: FShep/Garrus (M, Sci-Fi/Drama, long, ongoing). Commander Shepard had yet another vision... and this one was more terrifying than all she had since Eden Prime. Post Mass Effect 3, before the Extended Cut was out. Sort of following the Indoctrination Theory, but not quite.

Congratulations on the finish of the fic. It certainly is a tremendous sense of accomplishment to complete one. Sorry I took so long to update it, but I was waiting for something else that needed to be added to the list so that I wouldn't have to reformat the entry just to change one word.

Updated now though.

Added to the list. Welcome! And thanks for the proper formatting.


Mahlerbone: As I have pointed out in the opening post and in response to multiple others since, I cannot add anything to the list that isn't formatted. I don't have the time to hunt down a synopsis, rating and genre information, status, and so forth. If you would kindly put it in the format I need for the list, as Meredith did above, I will be happy to add it to the list. And please remember not to remove the spaces between the brackets and the information inside of them. Removing the space converts them to actual links, and that frequently messes up my list when I try to add it.

[JasonShepard]

You don't have Transcendent Humanity on this list. You need  Transcendent Humanity on this list. It's one of the best fics I've read in a long time...

[ * ] [ url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9271192/1/Transcendent-Humanity ]“Transcendent Humanity”[ /url ] by Solaris242: (K, Sci-Fi, AU, ongoing) 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.

It's AU, and Humanity is... no longer organic by the time that the Relay 314 incident happens.

On a different note, after some consideration I've bumped my own Invictus up to Mature. The final few chapters were a bit too heavy for me to leave it on a Teen rating

[Propelled Rage]

Hi I dunno where to put it so i'm asking here, can anyone point me to a fanfic just after the ending, when Normandy is stuck on the random planet?

[JasonShepard]

Are you looking for any fanfic where that happens, or a specific one?

[Propelled Rage]

Any good one

Basically looking for one which deals with the aftermath of Normandy crashing/landing on the planet. Or their journey to whichever planet and the immediate story after it. May or may not involve Shepard being alive.

Edited by Propelled Rage, 10 September 2013 - 05:33 AM.

[JasonShepard]

I'll be the first to admit that I'm hardly an unbiased judge of it, but Chapter 6 of my own Invictus does exactly that. Events leading up to, and immediate aftermath of, the crash, followed by repairs and then the long journey home. The whole chapter works reasonably well as a self contained story - Shepard is dead, EDI is alive, Shepard and Ashley were in a romance. It's roughly 5500 words long.
I did, however, pick Control, so there are references to the Reapers doing stuff. That may or may not put you off...

For a more in-depth type of story along those lines (rather than just one chapter)... I'll let you know if I come across anything.

EDIT: A couple more:

(Forgive me for not formatting these properly, Drussius, I'm only putting them here for Propelled Rage's benefit)

On Your Six - Seems to be a Garrus romance, Fem-Shep, High EMS Destroy ending.

At War's End - Tali romance (I think), MShep, Synthesis.

Both of them are complete, and both deal with the aftermath of the crash. They also have a reasonable amount of reviews and follows. Hope this helps!

[Propelled Rage]

  Blimey, thanks a lot Jason :happy:

I saw the first chapter of Invictus, you seem to have written it in a non linear memento fashion? The time frame was different..

Edited by Propelled Rage, 10 September 2013 - 05:02 PM.

[JasonShepard]

There's a framing story in place, yeah. Invictus wraps up 13 years from the end of ME3 to how I wanted to leave things. Which means that the 'main plot' is set in 2199, while most of the more interesting stuff happens in flashbacks and journal entries.
I was experimenting a bit - it seemed to work...

[Propelled Rage]

Only read a bit but it looks very interesting :happy:

I've started on something after the ending myself but having never done a fanfic before, a non linear style might perhaps be a bit too much:?   Going for the high EMS destroy ending

[Drussius]

Transcendent Humanity has been added to the list, and thanks for the submission. I'll change the rating on Invictus next time there's something to add to the first post, but removing all the formatting mess-ups to change one letter seems silly, so I apologize for the wait on that one (still don't know why it inserts an extra space between every story synopsis every single time I edit a post, but it's annoying).

On another note, I apologize for the slow update. My computer died, money is tight, and right now my only computer access is when I drive fifty miles to my brother's house and use his. So the list will still be updated, but I can't promise it will be done weekly. Still, keep the submissions coming. I promise I'll get them on the list when I have the opportunity.

[Reika]

After The Fall by ReikaLady: FShep (M, adventure) Can you ever successfully run away from yourself? Somewhat AU.

[P. Domi]

I guess I should have posted my story here when I published its first episode in the summer. I am in the process of writing the 5th chapter.

[*] [ url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9329001/1/Spectres-and-Assassins ]“Spectres and Assassins”[ /url ] by P.Domi: Ashley/Thane/Udina/Valern (M, sci-fi/adventure/long, ongoing). Still suffering from post-head trauma symptoms, recently inducted Spectre Ashley Williams tries to handle her new responsibilities as a Council agent & Alliance officer. The following events occur in the hours leading to the Cerberus Coup, as well as in the ensuing chaos and violence in the wake of the terrorist attack. Williams & Thane face a race against time to avert the utter collapse of galactic government amid the Reaper war.

http://www.fanfictio...-and-Assassins


Note from the author:
In order to ensure veracity and respect for the game canon/lore and the different experiences other Mass Effect players may have had, the story reads well even if your Shepard didn't romance Ashley. The scope is on the Citadel coup, not so much on the rekindling of  the Shep-Ash relationship or friendship.  

There are numerous points of view from other Mass Effect characters (that I will not reveal here) who were in the Citadel at the time as well as citations taken directly with the game (i.e: reporters' coverage, the datapads spread throughout the level, etc.)

Here's my latest offering:

[*] [ url=http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9751462/1/Mass-Effect-Legacy-Unborn ]“Mass Effect: Legacy Unborn”[ /url ] by Mothbanquet: All major characters (T, sci-fi/adventure/long/ongoing). Sometimes when great heroes arise, others are pushed aside. This is Mass Effect as you've never seen it before, where a single choice has thrown all into question and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. One man must find the strength within himself to live up to his untold potential and save the lives of all from a deadly, ancient terror.

Thanks as always, Druss.

[Paulinesh]

[*] Hidden Story by Savinnah: FShep/Garrus (M, sci-fi/adventure/romance, long, completed). A story of ME3 that was left behind, featuring bonus missions and extra dialogs to the main storyline. Alternate epic ending for the true fans who believe there are still things that ought to be explained about Mass Effect universe.

PS
Sorry, fixed the link.

Mass Transitions (T, Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi) At first I was just playing my favourite video game, enjoying a good
drink of Coke Zero, but then the next thing I know, the TV freezes and then a bright light blinds me. The next minute, I wake up and I'm in the middle of a warzone! What the hell am I supposed to do now? OC Self-Insert-ish. MShepxAsh.

It's my first take on the Mass Effect universe after being in Transformers since 2008, so I am aware of mistakes and stuff. Writing in first person past tense isn't easy. And plus my memories of the first ME game is a bit blurry for me.

 Here's my first fanfic (had it on fanfiction.net for a while now and I only just found this thread):


Tales of the Tech-Squad: This is a story of the lives of Joshua Shepard, Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, Garrus Vakarian and the rest of the Normandy crew after the Reapers have been defeated. This is based on my head cannon Shepard and starts immediately after the Crucible has been fired and the Reapers have been eradicated.

Characters: MaleShep, Tali

Genre: Adventure, romance

Rating: T

Chapters: 12 (technically it's 6, but I put wrote two parts per update so I consider it to be 12 chapters long)

Published: Feb 25, 2013

Latest update: June 21, 2013

Status: In progress

Warning!!:

I left a cliffhanger at the end of Part 12 and a couple of my followers thought it was annoying.  Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat for Parts 11 and 12!

You have been warned.

Okay. At my brother's house for the holiday and took the opportunity to update the lists. Invictus is finally changed to rating M, and all others are added. However, please, please copy the format in the opening post from now on. This took far too long because people were removing the spaces between the brackets and the urls and because requests were not formatted properly.

I'll update again the next time I have access to a computer.
