Summary
Unrequited love is so complicated when it isn't truly unrequited but neither person knows. You know what else is complicated? Dying and being brought back to life. Tara Shepard is navigating life after death on the Normandy SR-2 while -- once again -- trying to save the galaxy. At least she has Joker, right? But Jeff Moreau is also trying to navigate his life after Tara's death and it is much harder than he imagined it might be.
To the Stars is set during ME2 and will continue through ME3. Somewhat canon compliant, but will likely deviate more than not. There aren't any really heavy triggers in this, mostly just sad and angst and eventual happiness.
I have only played through these games twice; so bear with me as I explore these characters and continue to replay ME repeatedly.

Summary
Shepard was dead. Half the crew was dead. And Joker was alive. Alive and useless.
Quick intermission, showing how exactly did Joker end up with the Cerberus, where are his crutches and why is his eye twitching every time someone uses the cloaking tech beside him.

Summary
His legs were still aching from therapy, from walking, but the pain was grounding. The galaxy finally started to shift back in place. Two years of ghosts, of pain, and finally—here. In the pilot seat of the new ship. The fact that they were technically under the command of a terrorist organization? With Shepard back—figures.
But Joker isn’t just watching anymore. He is reclaiming his life, piece by piece, wondering if he can stop Shepard before she tears herself down.
This is a Star Decay AU (featuring original Karpyshyn story), so far following the original ME2 canon.

Summary
“So, have you heard about our new XO?” Jenkins poked his head from the corridor, eyes wide with excitement. “The Torfan Bitch herself.”
Joker doesn't know yet, how the 'Alliance xenophobic poster child' would turn his world upside down and, god, he is here for the ride, even if he can only sit in the cockpit and react.
