James: "Damn... that's a huge storm. Looks even bigger in person" Kaidan: "Pretty average for Mars, actually"

Metamorphoses: SPECTRE

Seeing what Cerberus had done to obsolete projects and their creators, she changed the state of play, asking why Lawson thought she and Lazarus would be spared the same harsh treatment.

“All things are conditional,” she said, dumping hot sauce over the wagyu steak. “We rarely know what those conditions are, though.”

She ignored the cult-like chatter. They could carve out all random spheres of influence they pleased, but it would never wash with her.

Blood from the steak dropped down her chin as she tilted her knife towards Lawson. “Everyone has a pain spot, Miri. If you press it at the right time, with the right amount of pressure... He hasn’t exploited it yet, but he will. And when that day comes? You’ll find out who he really is.”

Jack and the Cerberus cheerleader.

Shepard: I died saving my crew. Then someone I considered one of my closest friends gave my corpse to a terrorist organisation, who brought me back to life against my will, and have been manipulating me for months. I am isolated from almost everyone I knew and I am trying to save everyone yet again while also making sure I am not losing my morality.

Kaidan/Ashley: you left me >:(

Me when i play ME2 and Kaidan is only there for like 2 minutes

✨Excellent News📰

for sophisticated enjoyers of obscure Mass Effect lore! This reddit user compiled ALL of the old Cerberus Daily News e-mails into a google doc, helpfully formatted for better readability and organized by topic! There are plenty of one-off articles about various aspects of galactic life, but also a bunch of multi-installment stories. The whole thing is very entertaining and compelling despite CDN having been written as "just" a fun extra thing for players to read along with in ME3, and it's packed with tons of neat glimpses into the setting outside of Shepard's immediate circle and experiences.

Are Shepard’s friends finally giving her a taste of her own medicine, or are they actually all a little face blind when it comes to different species? IDK! Mostly I made this because Traynor looks just enough like my shep in ME3 that it throws me off sometimes.

Bioware, I beg of you, whatever you end up doing for the next Mass Effect game, STOP USING CHARACTER CREATOR ASSETS TO MAKE GAY ROMANCEABLE CREWMATES.

Cut up comic for easier tumblr reading (hopefully) below the cut!

listen i get that when cerberus brought shepard back the whole deal was "make her exactly as she was before" but ive taken it upon myself to occasionally do some renegade actions that ME1 shepard would have never done just to make cerberus think theyve fucked it up and that shes just slightly off

Earthborn Shepard who still had the gang tattoos.

Earthborn Shepard who woke up on Miranda's lab table and shrugged on the armor fitted for their exact proportions in a hurry to get out of the Cerberus station.

Earthborn Shepard who, when finally looking into a mirror on the SR2 Normandy, finds nothing but bare skin.

And if they'd ask about it from Miranda she'd explain, "We were meant recreate them, but thanks to Wilson we ran out of time."

How would that feel? Which is worse, the fact that enough of Shepard had to be replaced even their skin isn't original anymore, or the fact that there is a timeline where Shepard would have looked into a mirror and seen their tattoos, and maybe thought they're a little off? A little too bright and fresh in colors, and were the lines always so thick? But unable to really determine what's wrong for sure.

"Then see to it that we don't lose her"

Metamorphoses

For Lawson, observation always held a higher importance than interaction, and it became more crucial than ever in the first few weeks. Surprisingly, Commander Shepard was just as keen to test the limits of her new abilities as her. The sandstorm they’d just run from? Her biotics whipped it up.

A cigarette hangs from Shepard’s lips as her legs hang over the side of the roof. She watches Nihlus up to his elbows in wires and considering his arm span—well, it was a lot.

He’d stood her silent guardian whilst the subject slept. Every so often, she’d reach an impasse with Kyrik that seemed more rooted in culture than vocabulary. Now she knows it’s love and what that looks like up close. But the word doesn’t seem quite enough.

Many words don’t seem sufficient for Shepard anymore.

She smiled like a predator, her teeth grazing her lower lip as she glanced his way. Lawson rolled her eyes at the blatant lack of subtlety and inwardly cringed when she closed the gap and pulled him down into an approximation of a kiss between the two species.

Their relationship was even less palatable in the evening because of the thin walls and Shepard—or rather Kyrik—pushing the limits of her body in an altogether different manner.

She reached for her earplugs and continued typing the report.

After Recruiting Jack

Miranda: Welcome to the ship, Jack. I'm Miranda, Shepard's second in command.

Shepard, standing behind Miranda, shaking her head with her eyebrows shooting for her hairline, like ... no, nope. Nah. Uh-uh. I mean, Garrus is literally right downstairs. No.

Shepard: Give Jack whatever she wants, Miranda.

As Miranda walks out of the room, Shepard's just trying to telepathically communicate to Jack like I'll explain that later. But seriously. No. I'm only wearing this Cerberus uniform because the other option is a hideous shoulderless jumpsuit I'd rather die than wear in public. And like. I have been dead before. It's not an idle threat. I'll make one of my dead fish second in command before I entrust anything to Ms. Cerberus 2185.

has anyone in Mass Effect fandom ever actually finished writing a Virmire sacrifice Winter Soldier AU

(by which I mean "Virmire sacrifice gets revived by Cerberus and takes Kai Leng's role in ME3")

I feel like I've seen quite a few like first chapters of this through the mid 2010s but no one, myself included, has finished
