Summary
Shen Yuan does not believe in the gods. An unusual way of thinking for a priest, but he didn't choose this life. His desperate family offered him to Luo Binghe's temple in the hope that the river god could save his life. But that was many years ago, and now the temple stands empty and forgotten. There's no one to stop him from leaving. And so he does.

Summary
Transmigration is a dream come true. It’s only a shame he has this of all things come true. Him! As Ming Fan! The boy who grew up only to die of ants. It had been an almost well-deserved death, sure, but Shen Yuan is the one in the body now and he would rather fucking not.

A humble transmigrator is assigned a role he does not find particularly flattering. Can he please get recast?

Summary
Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing -- a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he's not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn't his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they're not soulmates, and he's going to do right by her. After the war's over, he's going to marry her, and they're going to settle down. They'll buy a house. They'll have children. He'll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It's going to be a good life. He doesn't need a soulbond. He'll be fine without one.
Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future -- but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in.
And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.

Summary
Dave smelled like apple pie and freshly baked toast, warm and welcoming, and it had scared you away, once upon a time, because you’d never gotten so close to an omega before. Because he was nice and fun, and had been through a lot and thus, he deserved a mate better than some second-rate neutered alpha ex-priest.
Or: Sollux Captor has to face his greatest fear, weakness and challenge yet… Fatherhood.

Summary
Shen Yuan has been transmigrated into the body of a nameless random in a wuxia universe and has yet to figure out which one...or at least that was the case until his terrible neighbors fished a baby out of the river.
-
“Is that a baby?” Shen Yuan squawked before being hushed from every angle. A few of the men looked over their shoulders back towards the village and Shen Yuan abruptly understood the root of their concern.They didn’t want their wives to overhear.
‘Not good,’ Shen Yuan thought. They wouldn’t be worried about that if they weren’t planning to do something awful.
“It’s a fish,” one of the older, burlier men who acted as the de facto leader of the river folk said as he fixed Shen Yuan with a glare. “Just a fish.”
-
Or: that one where Shen Yuan is just a fisherman. Did you not hear him say that he was just a fisherman? Why does no one believe him when he says that?Bookmarked by Reader (readat)

Summary
While she’s on (forced) medical leave, a certain turian crash lands in Shepard’s backyard. Instead of leaving him to bleed to death like any sane person would do, she takes him into her home and nurses him back to health.
(Because, as Vega would put it, she’s a goddamn girl scout with the self-preservation instinct of a moth near a flamethrower.)
A first contact AU where rather than immediately going to war with the turians, the first human to meet a turian instead maybe sort of falls in love with him.

After the Storm by MyFuzzyScarf
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
14 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
Garrus and Shepard never talked about what would happen between them if they survived the Collector Base. And yet here they find themselves, alive and rather unsure of how to proceed.
Against the backdrop of the DLC content of Mass Effect 2, Garrus Vakarian and Andrea Shepard attempt to plan for a future they never thought they'd see, even while haunted by the pasts they'd tried to leave behind.
So much stands in the way: rank, duty, family, and more than a few scars. What chance does this casual cross-species liaison have in the face of such opposition?
(This is a sequel to "Practice," but can be read as a stand-alone.)

Summary
Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.
In which Shepard doesn’t want to be found, and Garrus, of course, has other ideas.
────
One polished pauldron bobs. “How does the Earth idiom go? No use beating a dead—” A long-suffering sigh. “What was it again?”“A dead horse. And yet, you’re here. Beating it.”
Pot, kettle. She wishes he’d just fucking say it.

Summary
“Bruce was being dragged away from his training. Well, as much as researching fighting techniques and hiring personal trainers could count as training, but he’s still only seventeen years old.
If Bruce is being forced away from home for a grueling ten weeks, he might as well do some investigating while he’s at it.”
Or, the summer Bruce Wayne went to Smallville (and it ended up being the best thing to ever happen to him).

Summary
Garrus Vakarian was not the type of man to get jealous.
One would assume so, given both his insecurities and the general stance within turian culture - but his trust in Shepard was absolute. He knew her better than the back of his own hand, and he never had to doubt her word. He couldn’t even imagine it. Being her partner in both the battlefield and private was a dream come true, even if he had a shoddy grasp of romance at best.
That being said, some thoughts still kept him up at night, like all the things that made him a horrible fit for Shepard - frankly, he just couldn’t help but wonder when whatever magic that made her choose him would shatter and Shepard finally came to her senses. He wouldn't blame her.

Summary
“The first words they say to you are tattooed somewhere on your body.” Shepard explained.
Garrus blinked, his subvocals pitching in disbelief. “That’s… so inefficient.”
“Alright, how do Turians find their soulmates?” She demanded.
“On the civilized side of the galaxy-“ she gave a rather undignified snort, “we find our bondmates through song.”
-
The Council has called for a peace summit following the disastrous First Contact War but neither side seems ready to make amends. It's up to Shepard and Garrus to bridge the gap if their fated romance has any hope of blossoming.

Summary
“Oh no,” Garrus said. “I know that face. That’s your problem-solving face. That’s your I think I can fit through this air vent and drop down behind their reinforcements face.”
“What if we do it first?”
He stared at her. “Shepard. I fear the consequences of the next four words immensely. What do you mean?”
A smile lifted the corner of her mouth. “What if we find you a mate before your dad gets here?”
“Spirits,” he said, the word half curse, half exhalation. “That’s what I was afraid you were going to say.”
They survived the end of the world. They've had a few (relatively) normal years with no catastrophies. But with Garrus’ dad breathing down his neck about finally settling down, they've only got 48 hours to produce a suitable partner.
Garrus has just the girl in mind. If only she wasn't the one trying to set him up.

The Inquisitor doesn't trust Bull, doesn't want to go anywhere near the Qunari, doesn't even want to contemplate an alliance. That's okay. Par Vollen will be disappointed, but it probably won't be Bull's problem.
