Summary
The second installment in Compromise Who I Am, a Mass Effect trilogy novelization. This piece covers the events of Mass Effect 2, as seen through Shepard's eyes.
This series will include a slow-burn romance with Garrus and features a darker, more complex Shepard. Some dialogue is lifted directly from the game and expanded upon, but this story will mostly be filling in the gaps and exploring a struggling Shepard who finds herself now carrying the weight of an entire universe's future on her shoulders.
Tagged side characters are prominently featured and explored. Specific content warnings are listed within chapters.
Comprise Who I Am is a series about pain and healing. It is a story about learning to trust, falling in love with your best friend, and about handling the worst parts of yourself together. Reading the first installment of this series is not required, but is encouraged.

Stress Relief by LarasLandlockedBlues
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
30 Sep 2025
Summary
A canon-glossing series chronicling the deep friendship charged with sexual tension that turns into the beautiful relationship that is Shakarian.
Begins with ME2 in Goose Bumps and continues with ME3 in Ride or Die.
Lots of smut, a few dashes of angst, and some well deserved fluff accompany this series as the pair stand together to save the galaxy one (or two or three) more times.
Edited and updated April 2020: Rewrites of Goose Bumps and Ride or Die being added as they are revised. Old version will remain up, but will not be continued as is.

Summary
Commander Alison Jane (AJ) Shepard has lived through more than most: the batarian raid on Mindoir, the slaughter on Akuze, and the ruthless campaign at Torfan. Now, as the galaxy teeters on the edge of annihilation, she faces not only the Reapers but the weight of her past and the choices that threaten to unmake her. This story is a novelization of Mass Effect, following Shepard’s journey through familiar missions, dialogue, and relationships as seen in the game.
As the weight of her decisions threatens to crush her, Shepard is forced to confront the pieces of herself she thought she’d buried. When she finds a shy, innocent, asari maiden trapped in a stasis bubble surrounded by prothean ruins, she finds herself opening up to someone. Balancing the tension of galactic war with fleeting moments of tenderness, Shepard must navigate the fine line between duty and desire, her past and her future. Along the way, old wounds resurface, friendships deepen, and love grows in the unlikeliest of places. But even in the darkest moments, there’s room for humor, hope, and the stubborn defiance that makes Shepard who she is. It is a story of survival, healing, and the relationships that keep us fighting—against all odds.

Summary
The second story of my overall Mass Effect novelization. Having been pulled from her duty station on Luna, Commander Jane Shepard is drafted aboard the SSV Normandy SR1 for a mission that was supposed to be an easy covert pick up on the surface of Eden Prime. But what she finds on the surface will not only change her life, but the lives of everyone in the galaxy.
Thank you to SomethingProfound for the amazing idea of adding CODEX ENTRIES at the end of every chapter. You're awesome, and keep up the amazing writing.

Summary
Commander Shepard and Garrus Vakarian's chance meeting and joint investigation take them across the galaxy, and change their lives forever.
Excerpt from Chapter 4; Almost Ghosts
Garrus didn’t sleep- he was still too wired- but it felt good to rest by himself for a moment. He tried to direct his thoughts to Haliat and a plan of action to take back the mako, but he couldn't concentrate. He tried to think about Saren, or about the Normandy. He even tried to focus on the ridiculous laughing fit he’d witnessed earlier that day, and Ashley’s embarrassment over her human bodily functions.
He was distracted even as the sun finally set. They executed Shepard’s plan flawlessly- they reclaimed the mako, killed Haliat and his mercs, and successfully signaled the Normandy for pick up. He should be focused on the victory of a job well done. But no matter what else was happening around him, one question just kept bludgeoning its way to the forefront of his mind for the rest of the day, and for many days afterward:
What happened to Shepard on Elysium?
