1950,000 Ways It Could Get A Lot More Complicated »
Javik 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 Chief soon after. But the real kicker? He's three years early. Shepard chose Yellow, and instead of a responsible Time Traveler with noble intentions, the galaxy gets Javik, who might rather die at this point. He hates this Cycle.

The Long, Long Walk »
Having stopped the Hive incursion on Eden Prime at the expense of being stuck in Commander Shepard's reality, Crow is offered a place on the Normandy. With nowhere to go, he accepts, and finds himself at the front of the fight against the Collectors, while at the same time trying to learn how to trust the ship's residents. In the end, though... maybe he's not 'stuck' after all.

39Out of Tricks(OVERHAULED EDITION) »
Years after the war, Garrus and Tali start 'thinking' about children, and in typical Normandy fashion, they 'accidentally' start a family.
