John Shepard: decorated war hero, defender of the Citadel, and savior of the galaxy against rouge Turian Spectre Saren Arterius. Killed in action by a surprise 'Geth' attack at the age of 30.
Kaidan Alenko: 32-year-old long-term serving Alliance soldier, a survivor of 'BAat' training for biotic students, and survivor of the 'Geth' attack. Lost in an empty void with his Commander gone.
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. Will their eventual reunion be heartfelt or heartbreak? Can the years of unbroken trust built between the two be fixed through this suicide mission?

Ty sure as hell hasn't and he can't stand living under the oppressive shadow of his father. Ranked number 1 in Mass Effect Stories 5/9/2018 #8 in Space, #125 in Science Fiction 7/9/2018 Follows Shepards ruthless earthborn renegade path with his relationships being with Liara and Jack. (staying with Jack in the third) But let's be realistic, there wasn't a girl on his crew he didn't sleep with. Kaiden Alenko survived Mass Effect 1 not Ashley. Warning: Ty Shepard has a tendency to drop a lot of foul language and has a thing for always trying to get in a girls skirt, or under their uniform as it were. He's also violent and military so there will be fights and deaths; some for pleasure, some for the job.

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**
