These games have made a big impact in my life, and sit in my top 3 of all time.
One of the most impressive things about ME - the feeling you have that this is my story, my game, my universe.
Now I have decided to write the "after" story.
This is my very first draft, it's definately not complete or finished in any way.
Comments and Critiques are very welcome!!!
I play femshep, mostly paragon, romanced Liara, high EMS destroy, Citadel party afterwards.
As you will be able to see in my story, I am very optimistic about the future, and rebuilding what was lost.
At the end of my story I'll post some pics, this section will also be expanded on later.

Karli sat in her hot tub, all by herself. Her only companion were her thoughts, and they were racing at the speed of sound. Today, this very day, one year ago, she had faced an insane AI abourd the Citadel, and she had used the incredible energy of the crucible to end the Reapers. What a day that had been! More dead than alive, she hardly could believe she had made it there at all. So many had fallen in that final push in London...
Her thoughts naturally went to Anderson. He had fought hard, it was so unfair that he could not be here to enjoy the moment. Naturally, she had not been able to go to the funeral, but she had met Kahlee Sanders a few times, and their talks had been warm and thoughtfull. She had offerd to return the appartment to her, but Kahlee said it would remind her too much of Anderson, and the plans they had together.
She closed her eyes, and thought of team Hammer, earth's resistance movement, Palaven, Thessia, and the many, many places that the Reapers had destroyed. A tear rolled down her cheeck, and she did not mind. The loss of life had been... staggering, and she remembered the cycles that had came before.... how much mindless violence can one galaxy endure? The catalyst followed its programming, and she was proud and humbled to be the one to stop the cycles.
"The creator always rebels against the creator" The catalyst's words chimed in her head. Was he right? The news coming from Rannoch was extremely encouraging. A week after the crucible had fired, Quarians had activated new Geth. For the past 12 months, messages had come about cooperation amd mutal respect and understanding. The Quarians had appointed Tali as ambassador to the Geth, and she kept a close watch on that relationship. The Geth had been patient, understanding, and very helpfull. They had created a blueprint for a Quarian home, a house that could be produced(in Geth factories) and built within a 8 hour span. Karli concluded things looked bright for the future.
For a few months, the brightest minds in the Galaxy had worked together, and they accomplished an amazing triumph: A machine that had wiped out the Reapers. Now the science teams, under the leadership of Dr. Cole and the Rachni, had set themselves a new task, repairing the Mass Relays. Seeing the destruction in the Galaxy, getting Transportation up and running was crucial, and that meant the Mass Relays.
3 weeks after the Reaper war, the scientists had received 6 advanced hyper-fast Turian vehicles, and they took of to Thessia, Rannoch, Tuchanka, Palaven, Illium, and Dekuuna. The team that reached Thessia got a big surprise. The Asari had already repaired their Relay, and were working hard on several others in the region. Matriarch T'lavi had researched the relays for centuries, and was ready to act when they were destroyed. So now, a year after the Reaper war, a large portion of the relays were operational, and the science teams expected to finalize their work within the next 18 months.
One of the biggest surprise after the war had been the Quarians. 300 years aboard ships, had made virtually every Quarian an engineer, or at least a very good repairman. They offered to help rebuild earth, but this was kindly refused by the humans, who wanted to do it themselves. The Quarians stopped asking, and descended on the Citadel...What happened there in the next 6 months was next to a miracle. Millions of Quarians, efficiently organized in cleanup and construction teams, swept through the Citadel like a whirlwind. Volus engineers focused on the Presidium, and both races were aided by Asari, who used their remarkable biotics for lifting and moving.
In addition, an army of keepers had come swarming out of the belly of the Citadel. It was impossible to communicate with these creatures, but it mattered little. They worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and were ruthlessly efficient. Everyone could see their results. A few weeks ago, the Quarians had left for Rannoch. According to their calculations, the work on the Citadel would be finished in just 3 more months.
