Disclamier: Mass Effect is not mine and it is not my creation or my property. This is done purely for entertainment purposes and not for profit.
This story contains extreme violence, excessive profanity and very graphic sexual content, all of it interspecies erotica. If that's not your cup of tea, turn back now. Also this contains spoilers for Mass Effect 3 so if you if don't like spoilers then don't read.
Read Me:
While I was working on The Ravaging of a Dh'oine I started playing Mass Effect again and got inspired. So I'm doing both fics now.
This fic is based roughly on the aftermath of Mass Effect 3. For those of you who don't play the Mass Effect series this fic won't make sense at all unless you played. So I decided to do a brief run down and condense a series of three video games into one lovely paragraph.
The game is mostly based on an intergalactic federation theme. Much like The Council in Star Wars. An ancient artificially intelligent machine race called Reapers are trying to destroy the galaxy. A war begins and different races have to ban together to defeat them. Shepard and her team reported directly to The Council and went on covert missions to stop the Reapers.
For fanfiction purposes, all races joined the fight and all members of the team are alive after the end battle with the Reapers.
* Once again this contains Mass Effect 3 Spoilers
Races mentioned:
The Asari: A race of blue aliens similar to Twi'leks in star wars. They are an all female race and only reproduce with other races, which help spread rumors of promiscuity. They live much longer than most species and well respected for their knowledge and beauty. They are considered "Janes of all trades". You'll find Asari that are pirates, strippers, prostitutes, soldiers and priestesses.
The Salarians: An intelligent highly advanced technologic race. Mostly comprised of scientists. They resemble a short of amphibian species and tend to speak quickly. So quickly they tend to speak in shortened sentences to get their point across.
The Krogan: A strong brutal warrior race resembling dinosaurs or Scarrans from Farscape. Their culture is a warrior system built upon a cast of clans and broods each ones proving they were better warriors. They have a high sense of pride and ruthlessness. The Korgan are the strongest allies in war but most feared during peace time. They usually are the best hired body guards and mercenaries during peace time. Everyone fears Krogans.
The Quarians: A humanoid race that always wears masks because it's difficult for them to find atmosphere that's breathable. They were exiled from their homeland by the Geth. They are good scientists but more gifted engineers and techs.
The Geth: A race of technologically advanced robots created by the Quarians. They uprose when the Quarians tried to destroy them for displaying intelligence and exiled the Quarians.
The Vorcha and the Batarians: Their physical appearance is hard to describe, the links above have pics of all the races. In any case, these two races are somewhat humanoid. They are usually comprised of mercenaries and slavers and usually hired by other more advanced races.
The Genophage: A biological weapon that the Salarians created causing infertility among the Korgan. Only 1 out of 1000 Korgan births survive. This was implemented after the Salarians used the Korgan for their battle prowess. Then the Korgan began to overpopulate and take over lesser worlds. At that point, the Genophage was created and for the last 1,000 years the Korgan are a slowly dying race.
Main Pairing: Shepard/Urdnot Wrex
I love Wrex because he's badass. He has great one-liners and if you're in a gunfight he's the motherfucker you want next you. The Krogans got screwed like they normally do, so pay back is a bitch. This is my ode to Urdnot Wrex and the Krogan Empire.

Nova Shepard sat at her dining room table in her remote home on Earth. It was a small table with only two chairs; she had no need for anymore. Her home had one bedroom and one bathroom. It was small but modest and clean.
Like most homes these days it was made of metal rather than wood. However she still managed to decorate it rather well. The walls were white and the floor in the dining room and the adjacent kitchen were made of hardwood while she installed carpeting in her bedroom. Her home was located on a mountain top with no one around for miles. Nova enjoyed the peace and quiet.
The Reapers had left Earth in devastating shape as they had done with other planets that were teeming with life. However, her small home was enough for her. She had given up serving on the Normandy and retired her position as Commander and Spectre three years prior.
The military had always been her life and she knew nothing else. But what happened during the Reaper wars changed many lives including hers. Wrex had been her friend, teammate and lover and she betrayed him.
She betrayed him and the wise Krogan female named Eve who was the last fertile female in the Krogan population. The Salarian council member assured her that she was doing the right thing because the Krogan would again overpopulate and try to dominate the galaxy again.
Although she tried to believe it, even then she wasn't so sure and now she knew she was wrong. She had left the military shortly after the Reaper wars ended to contemplate the decisions that still haunted her. Even three years later, she still didn't feel any better. She also made decisions after the war that involved leaving Wrex that plagued her. She couldn't sleep sometimes as a result.
And to make matters worse, Liara was murdered. Garrus had called her with the devastating news and she had cried for hours after. Liara's funeral was a week ago, but she was still dressing in black as a symbol of mourning.
Everyone was there; even Jack showed up to pay her respects to everyone's surprise. Everyone except Wrex was there and she was happy. She wasn't ready to see him yet. Before Wrex, Liara had been her lover when they were fighting Saren and the Reaper Sovereign. Liara had changed when she became Shadow Broker so their relationship never rekindled, leaving room for Wrex to come into her life.
Diana Allers had been on the news reporting the death. The media of course did not know Liara's real identity. To the world, Liara was a respected scientist. Only those at the top of the criminal market and the team Nova led to stop the Reapers knew Liara's true identity.
As such, Diana bought the story about Liara and her assistant being murdered for a priceless artifact and it was the same story she broadcasted for the last week.
At the funeral Garrus was just as heartbroken as she was. He held her and comforted her and then after the funeral, they made love. She didn't love Garrus like she had loved Liara and Wrex. She was just hurt and in need of affection.
Garrus understood when she said she didn't want a relationship and explained she was too much of a mess for anything real right now. As she lie intertwined with him in his quarters, he assured her he had every resource in C-Sec on Liara's death.
He also informed her that the Justicar, Jona Sederis and Aria were missing. He and the rest of C-Sec truly believed that some kind of Asari black market power struggle began between Liara, Jona, and Aria that end with Liara's death somehow.
He wasn't sure why Jona and Aria were missing but he assumed the Justicar got wind and tried to stop the whole thing and maybe that's why she was missing as well. It made perfect sense, but he had to follow more leads. He then kissed her forehead and promised to update her when he found something new.
