NOTE: the first couple of chapters will be based on the alternate introduction of Frostpunk's humanity into the world of Mass Effect, through codex entries and stories. After that, we will get into the start of Shepard's high-stakes adventures.
1887. The world as we knew it froze over into a new ice age. Fortunately, the survivors from the British Empire migrated to generator-powered cities fueled by the power of steam technology. The Great Storm tested their survivability, and for the past eight years, all had gone well for the remaining cities of humanity.
1895. Elsewhere in the galaxy, the Quarians have evacuated their homeworld of Rannoch following the Geth Wars, prompting the Citadel to send reinforcements. While the battle goes well, one of the Quarian ships gets boarded by the enemy, and the ensuing chaos that follows results in the ship reaching the Mass Relay towards the Sol Cluster.
What follows is a survival-hardened civilization dragged into the mess of galactic politics and eventual conflicts between several factions.

The Phoenix
The Reaper attack on the Citadel has been thwarted, and in reward, Shepard is sent to root out the vestiges of the geth that were loyal to Saren. Like a good and loyal Spectre, she accepts the assignment... albeit begrudgingly. She expects it to be a quiet endeavour; something that the Council hopes will keep her warning of the incoming Reaper invasion away from their ears, but she gets far more than she ever bargained for, and a course change she could never have expected. This is a retelling of the beginning of Mass Effect 2, filling in the gaps between Shepard's death and her subsequent resurrection at the hands of Cerberus. Disclaimer: I do not own Mass Effect.

Both men have faced hurt and loss, together they became close friends on the Normandy SR-1, some speculate more than friends. Both knew that their friendship was more, but neither had the chance to admit that before Shepard was killed and Kaidan is resigned. However, Commander Shepard is alive, two years later, improved and reborn through cybernetic implants and billions of credits spent to revive the once-lost soldier.

Unseen: Mass Effect FanFiction (ReWritten)
**Story has been rewritten, and new chapters will be added!** Unlike her brother, the celebrated Commander Shepard, Aster Shepard preferred the grit and anonymity of the underworld to the flash of galactic headlines. While John blasted Reapers and saved civilizations, Aster dealt with the threats that festered in the shadows, the ones too politically inconvenient for the Council to acknowledge publicly. This time, it was an illegal AI. Rumors whispered through the extranet about a potentially dangerous, sentient program being developed at the prestigious Thessian Science Academy. The Council, naturally, wanted plausible deniability. Hence, Aster's intervention. **If you are enjoying the story or want to read another Mass Effect fanfiction, check out my new Mass Effect Fanfiction called For Peace**
After The Fall
The war is over, the Reapers destroyed... but what is to become of all the species trapped in the Sol system? Where is the hero, Commander Shepard, let seen gasping for breath in the wreckage? Everyone thought the fight was over, but it was only just beginning! A continuation of the Mass Effect series after the 'Destroy' ending. What if the end wasn't the end? Join Commander Lorelei Shepard and her fearsome crew as they are forced to save the galaxy... again. Fans are saying: "I've never been so hooked by the first chapter of an ME fic before." "This was pretty good. I for one enjoyed it immensely! I don't know if we will ever find a good ending to our beloved trilogy, but this has to be one of the best. A bit outside the box and a bit inside the box, the whole thing was awesome. Definitely recommending this to others."

But you are still a remarkably strong-willed woman Shepard. What you learned about the Protheans is amazing."

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.
