If It Meant Living: Mass Effect 3 by GSJennsen

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 and ME3 stories will be 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 (eventually) sexual situations. Bioware owns all rights to Mass Effect and its characters.

Kaidan Alenko comes face to face with the woman he's ever loved who he never thought he'd see again. He's thrown back with the crew of the Normandy as galactic extinction looms at the hands of the Reapers. Will he be able to repair his relationship with Commander Aubrey Shepard and will they be able to save the galaxy so they can have a future together? **Mass Effect and it's characters are the IP of Bioware**

At long last (Mass Effect Fan Fiction) by Tlkalot1

The story starts after Shepard wakes from her two year coma. Mass Effect 2. It follows part of the story line but focuses on Shepard's feelings for Garrus and the person she turns to to fill her emotional and sexual need for him.
