This is the story of FemShep's investigation of Cerberus' nefarious activities, while she struggles with questions about her own identity. This story is not entirely canon compliant, but it fits with the story, especially if you aren't too personally attached to your own version of Shepard. It aims to fill in the gaps and is told from Ash's point of view. Rated M for swears
This story will feature male Shepard and Miranda Romance however they meet long before the events of mass effect 2, this story will also feature Mass Effect Two and Three. While there will be action this story will mainly focus on the Romance and Friendship of Mass Effect.

He isn't pleased to wake up in his pod again, this time entirely alone. Less so that he finds himself fighting alongside a mouthy Gunnery Cheif soon after. But the real kicker? He's three years early. Or; Shepards chooses Yellow, and instead of a responsible, noble Time Traveler, the galaxy gets Javik, who really just wants an aspirin or death at this point. He hates this Cycle.
When a mysterious vessel ambushes and obliterates the Normandy SR1, Ashley and a band of survivors find themselves fighting for their lives, embracing faith, and clinging to hope, on the edge of habitable space...

I'm retelling the story while staying true to the game we know and love. 2022 update: this is a fun writing exercise for me, so if you think it's bad, great! Don't read it.
