The story of Graceyn Shepard - life, death, rebirth, and life once again. 

"If It Meant Living" covers the game trilogy and much more. While Shepard is the primary focus, major characters are given significant attention and love. Canon is only respected so long as it’s worthy, so don’t get comfortable thinking you know what’s going to happen :). 

Note: The ME1, ME2 and ME3 stories are published as separate works, as well as the sequel ("Beyond") and the one-shots ("Tales") - but it is fundamentally one over-arching story (hence the continuity of chapter numbering for ME1-3). 

The "R" rating is for language, violence and (occasional) sexual situations.

~MASS EFFECT: BOOK 2 of 3~ *Book 1 is English Bay Blues *Continues in: Lazarus Project Ranked #5 in Mass Effect Promoted to Staff Lieutenant and reassigned to the prototype ship, the SSV Normandy, Kaidan can't wait for the next chapter in his career to unfold. But when the mission on Eden Prime goes horribly wrong, amid intrigue, murder and ancient artifacts, the Normandy's shakedown cruise is far from ordinary. And when he starts falling for his Commanding Officer, it becomes the most challenging assignment he's ever faced. Excerpt from Dragon's Teeth: 《《 "I suppose not. But you are still a remarkably strong-willed woman Shepard. What you learned about the Protheans is amazing." "Nightmarish visions of synthetics slaughtering all organic life isn't exactly what I'd call amazing." She scoffed. "And neither are the headaches." "Oh, by the goddess! I'm so sorry!" Liara exclaimed. "I didn't mean to make light of what happened to you. It's why I'm an archaeologist, I always manage to say the wrong things to people. I prefer working with ruins and artifacts." 》》 *Rated Mature for language & some adult content. ---------------------------- **Canon/canon-divergent.
