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.

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.

In a galaxy-wide war. For over 20 years, humanity has been on the defensive, surviving against the odds from a genocidal religious alien cult known as the Covenant. Fighting for humanities very existence, untold numbers of UNSC forces will lay down their lives so that countless others may live. This story is a "what if scenario" and unique take on an idea that the creators of Halo original made for a draft to how Halo 2 was supposed to end during the designing phase of the videogames. (When Halo 2 was the "last game" and Halo 3 wasn't supposed to exist due to the current development schedules at the time). That idea being how Master Chief and Commander Miranda Keyes were supposed to have a "romantic relationship" at the end of the game, but scrapped it due to it making no sense for this to even happen. So, this story about this concept of an unlikely relationship with Master Chief and Commander Miranda Keyes and will recreate it to be more complex and expand this scrapped idea and potential make something of it. Ultimately, during the darkness of war, the time for companionship is an afterthought as time passes and chaos continues. Will this unlikely duo that being the legendary Spartan 2 Master Chief and UNSC Commander Miranda Keyes grow closer together against such darkness against the Covenant, or fall victim as many have before them.
