Summary
Dr. Liara T'Soni is one of the foremost researchers of Protheanology. Her work has been translated into more than 200 languages galaxy-wide and is now considered a cornerstone of research into the late Prothean era and how it informs the early Athamean time period. In this seminal work, Dr. T'soni writes about the relationship between the two time periods and why it is a mistake to cleanly delineate them from each other. This much is clear: history builds on itself.

Summary
A Mass Effect fanfic with the retelling of the first game (kind of) through the third, from the viewpoint of the logs of Captain Hannah Shepard. With a few logs from Commander Shepard and Garrus. It’ll mostly stretch through the second and third game. Also, this will tie into “Leviathan’s Echo.” So, if you haven’t read, maybe read first? It’ll help understand the ending bonus log.

Summary
Zevin Raeka, 44th heir to the Erinle dalatrassate, is a scientist first—and a politician never, if she can help it. But salarian social convention has other ideas, and her inheritance demands public participation in what she considers little more respectable than professional mud wrestling. Cashing in favours from her old university rector, she escapes to a planet where it's twenty below on most days—but where science thrives, money flows like water, and politics 'isn’t even in the running.' Or so she thinks. What begins as a bureaucratic reassignment soon becomes a plunge into elite financial corruption so dense it bends light—a Kafkaesque event horizon of rigged tenders, shell corporations, and institutional rot, a cartel of elite-tier financial parasitism so vast it starts with a capital T. To stop it, she'll need the help of her elder brother, a barefaced turian con artist, an engineer who swears he isn't a politician, a sentient AI, an insect queen, a British spymaster, an asari magistrate with a taste for Gauloises, a Balkan hotelier with theological opinions on gambling, and the collected mathematical theories of Maupertuis, Hamilton, and Lagrange.

Summary
2183. A routine shakedown cruise goes sideways, stranding three humans on a world in a distant galaxy that should feel more alien than it does.
The locals call it Thedas—a place of myths, castes, and sentient forests. To them, Andersson, Reece, and Hale are relics from a forgotten age. To the galaxy, they're remnants of a world long erased.
As ancient powers reemerge, the crew must decide what it means to represent a world they barely understand… and whether it’s still possible to belong anywhere at all.
A slow-burn, character-driven Mass Effect/Dragon Age fusion about memory, identity, and diplomatic disaster waiting to happen.

Summary
The Alliance is losing.
For the last three years, humankind has battled ceaselessly against the turians, an alien fleet that launched a brutal war after humanity discovered ancient, forbidden technology. Despite humanity's best efforts, they are perilously close to all-out nuclear annihilation -- or a slow death by starvation as the skies burn and human colonies go dark.
Desperate for survival, the shattered remains of the Alliance's best undertake a mission with impossible odds: plant a bomb on the turian homeworld and end the war once and for all. But when the mission goes catastrophically awry, Shepard finds herself stranded in hell: a planet covered in the wrecks of a thousand starships; a planet that orbits a black hole. A planet hiding a threat far more ancient, and far more dangerous, than the turians.
And she’s not alone.
