The one thing everyone knows is that the Reapers are systematic. They kill. They take. They kill again. They take more.
Systems. Planets. Lives. The ground they walk on.
If it breathes, if it can think for itself, it's their next target. Not a matter of if. Not a question of maybe. Only when.
They do everything with precision.
So why, when the Reapers are holding the gun to the Citadel's head, do they not pull the trigger and yet instead run into deep space?
It's a question that Shepard has to answer before the Reapers make an encore appearance.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing of Halo Or Mass Effect. They to 343 and Bioware respectively.

Halo Battle Buddies 2: Homefront
Book 02/06 (Current Version: Prototype - Version 1.0) This story/fanfiction is a 'what if scenario' within the Sci-Fi videogame series known as Halo and is based on an original character named 'Lieutenant Serenity McKnight' that partners with the legendary Master Chief himself, after the UNSC Pillar of Autumn had escaped a Halo Ring known as Installation 04 by the help of a mysterious alien of myth and legend called a Forerunner. From this Forerunner, it pledged itself and its forces of unknown magnitude to fight the genocidal war against the Covenant, to protect humanity. The UNSC Pillar of Autumn heads course back home, to the Solar System, Earth. A big mystery slowly unveils on humanities newest ally. Will our heroes within the UNSC turn the tides of the conflict in the fates of their species? What will this alliance with the Forerunner entail to go on the offensive? All will be revealed in due time. The story is a 'reimagining' of Halo and is non-canon and is to be not taken seriously as this was an idea created back when I first played the games.

Mass Effect - Echoes of the Past
Worlds aren't meant to collide. But sometimes, a single glitch - a pulse, a decision, a line of code is enough to tear the veil between them. According to string theory, reality is just one thread in a vast cosmic weave. And when that thread frays, fiction can bleed into truth. A mission emerges from the impossible. A figure steps out of the digital void. And the ordinary begins to unravel. This is a story about crossing boundaries - between dimensions, between logic and instinct, between what is and what could be. Because sometimes, the only way to rewrite reality... is to believe it was never fixed to begin with.
Behind Blue Eyes ~Garrus Vakarian X Reader~
So as we all know, at the end of Mass Effect 3, Shep has two options: Destroy the Reapers or work with them (and then there's secret ending number three that you get when you shoot the boy in which case the cycle will continue) in this, Shepard (Female Shep) chose to work with them, meaning she didn't destroy them. The relays were repaired, and the Citadel was repaired. This story will take place on Palaven, the Citadel, the Normandy (because she gives it to Garrus in this), and on Earth. Before you ask. Yes, Garrus and Shep were together before she died in this.~Sky Following two years after the death of Shepard, Garrus decides to move into her old apartment on the Citadel, one day, while he's out getting supplies for a get-together with his old friends, he meets Y/n L/n who will go on to change his life. Note: I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OR THE FANART. THE CREDIT FOR BOTH GOES TO THE CREATORS. THE ONLY THING I OWN IN THIS STORY IS THE PLOT.Complete

Fighting forces he had underestimated since day one. Pressure builds on the young man, as leadership over his group is placed on his shoulders. Can he and his companions succeed in beating the Covenant threat that has appeared in Sansar? Can Caleb save everyone he calls family? Or was their chances of survival against such power nonexistent?

Kipa is eager to prove himself to his older brother in any way possible and through him, the Prophets themselves, but a question soon arises in his mind once the combat begins.
