The Double
Commander Shepard flits about the galaxy, harboring a double agent and lot of secrets on her brand new Normandy. Can she use the machinations of Cerberus to save humanity while fending off a crew of rabid fans and unraveling the secrets of those keeping her in the dark? This is a Mass Effect 2 alternate universe story and includes lots of high jinks and shenanigans. It also includes piles of Kaidan fluff, misunderstandings, and goofy code names.
I'm in the midst of writing Chapter 49 and have planned out at least six more, some of which I've written. I'm working on a novelized layout of the whole mess and I'll link it here as a .pdf file and/or offer it as a free e-book on Amazon if I can figure out how to do it. That won't happen until I finish and edit the living snot out of the story, of course! If you have questions, suggestions, or points of contention please do bring them to my attention!
