A kaidan/mshep military sci-fi fic set in the 90s. Also they’re all in high school! by @neolithicprophet 

 It was great to work with Nero, and I highly recommend you read their fic.  If 90s sci-fi doesnt convince you enough, theres also a twist near the ending that I personally really enjoyed.

Chasing the Daylight - my entry to 2018 MEBB Sara was the apple of her father's eye till one day she is not. She doesn't understand why. This story follows the Ryder family from before the twins were born to the point Sara decides to break free and finds a path for herself.

Title: End of Innocence

Ship: Liam Kosta x Female Ryder

Summary: When Alec Ryder didn't check in with Clara, she refused to give up. When faced with zero help she turned to the only person who she could trust, her twin that she hadn't spoken to in five years. Then Liam shows up to help her find her father, and they find themselves on a slippery slope towards an explosive end. Will it end with Liam and Clara having their happy, drive off into the sunset? Or will it end with everything blowing up in their faces.

Shepard has enough to worry about with the Reaper War without chasing ghost stories. But some ghosts are more real than others and wear familiar faces. (Or the Winter Soldier AU that nobody asked for but is getting anyway)

Chapter I

It was all over. Somehow, they’d accomplished the impossible: they made it to the Citadel and the Crucible had docked. There was nothing left to do but sit and wait for the same fate as the man at her side.

Shepard hazarded a quick glance in Anderson’s direction. He’d always seemed larger than life, but now that illusion was completely shattered. He slumped over on himself, a victim of that final gunshot—her gunshot. She turned back to the cold darkness of space, tears welling in her eyes. That brief glimpse of him was all she could handle, the guilt heavy on her heart. It hurt too much, even though they’d both been prepared for this outcome.

Cold, unforgiving metal pressed the remaining shards of armor into the wounds on her backside and legs. The hard deck offered no comfort to her battle-damaged body, but that didn’t matter at this point. There were so many wounds, so much blood and pain, and her support systems were toast. There was no way anyone would get to her in time. It would all be over soon enough, then she would join Anderson and everyone else that had been lost along the way. Nothing left to do but enjoy the view. But even the beauty of space held reminders of death and destruction. Debris from countless ships floated in front of her, a testament to how devastating their last push towards earth had been for so many.

Shepard leaned back into the platform behind them, cradled her stomach, and finally let herself grieve. “I’m so sorry, Kaidan.” Echoes of their last moments, both their voices, thick with emotion, taunted her with what could’ve been. She promised to be waiting for him, but this was one promise she couldn’t keep—no matter how much it broke her heart. This was one situation she couldn’t stubborn her way out of. This was it.

And there was so much more lost than even Kaidan knew.

Please read Six Feet Under the Stars by @kadaransmuggler!! (⭐Link is live now!⭐Link won’t be live until @mebigbang unviels it!)

This is an AU story where a (custom) Ryder stays in the Milky Way, forming a relationship with Kaidan Alenko. I have to say that this is ultimately a love story between the two, and the quiet times they spend together just being are really nice! 😊
