Summary
This is a bit for the MEFW drabble challenge on Facebook; an exploration into the day after Resolve ends with the prompt being Winter and Shepard with their LI and/or BFF. The rest is self-explanatory. The tone here is different from my main work with a focus on language and description, something the main work lacks because....length.
Feedback is welcome as always! And prompts. Always prompts.

Summary
The Reapers have been defeated and the galaxy is left to pick up the pieces. The work of repairing the damage, both galactic and psychological has only begun. The wounds of old hatreds still bleed, though, tearing at the fragile peace so many died to earn. Can the survivors live up to the legacy that has been left to them or will they only finish what the Reapers started?

Summary
The Reapers have been destroyed, but to the survivors, the victory tastes like ashes. The Normandy wrecks on an uncharted planet, and a grieving crew must pull together to find a way home without their commander. At Sol, the shattered remains of the victorious allied forces struggle to survive, coexist, and reconnect to the rest of the galaxy. The greatest threat to peace comes not from without, but within. A heavy story of grief, perseverance, love, leadership, and hope in the face of devastation.

Summary
"If anyone in the entire galaxy deserved to enjoy this victory, it was Shepard. And I know that she also deserves to finally have peace, but...for as long as I knew her, the only peace she ever wanted for herself was with you."
Liara has spent the last eight months helping the galaxy to rebuild in the aftermath of the Reaper War, until a surprise visit from an old friend changes everything. It would appear that what Miranda can do once, she can certainly do twice, and the renewed promise of a life together brings Shepard and Liara closer to happiness than they have ever been before. But Shepard's return also draws the attention of a new enemy; one who will stop at nothing to see the heroes of the Normandy ground beneath the feet of those they worked so tirelessly to save. And as Commander Shepard knows all too well...there is no rest for the weary.

Summary
Miranda Lawson spent two years bringing one person, the famous Commander Shepard, back to life. She'd researched her thoroughly, from her ten (now perfectly proportioned) toes all the way up to her recently rehabilitated brain. At the very least, she shouldn't have been surprised when Shepard woke up and absolutely loathed her.
Garrus knew his best friend was dead. When Shepard proves him wrong, she's not exactly what he was expecting.
Mass Effect 2 re-tell through the eyes of Miranda and Garrus.

Summary
People are animals, says Iron Bull, and you can tame a woman like you'd tame a horse. Evelyn Trevelyan, leader of the Inquisition, doesn't believe him. Challenge accepted.
((Nota Bene: I disagree that there is infidelity in this work. The two characters are not in an established relationship and have not agreed to exclusivity. However, I also said that if people commented on it and let me know it was triggery, I'd tag it because I'm also not an asshole. The problematic act, for those who might want to read everything but that, occurs in Chapter 7/Day 7 and sort of again in Chapter 13/Day 12 in a more consensual fashion.))

Summary
Miranda had a plan. A nice, easy plan to have it out with Jack in the comfort of her own cabin when Shepard finally stopped hovering like a worried mother hen. They would beat each other senseless. There would be insults. And it would be bloody glorious.
But then they made it back from that one-way trip, and things changed. Miranda changed. Jack changed. And somewhere along the line, a mutual desire to bash each other’s heads in turned into something strange and very, very messy.
And Miranda doesn’t have a plan for that.
