In Mass Effect and Star Wars fanfiction, you often find stories that explore the backstories of minor characters. Maybe a story about a Mass Effect engineer who has a run - in with a group of Star Wars smugglers. These stories give more depth to characters that didn't get as much attention in the original works.
There are many. For example, some fanfictions might focus on a crossover between the two universes. Imagine a Mass Effect character like Shepard meeting a Star Wars Jedi. It could lead to really unique scenarios where different technologies and powers interact.
Some fanfictions in this area are about alternate universes. For instance, a universe where the Reapers from Mass Effect invade the Star Wars galaxy. This flips the normal storylines on their heads and allows for creative exploration of how different species and factions would react to an entirely new threat.
One interesting 'Mass Effect Star Wars' fanfiction could be about a character from Mass Effect getting transported to the Star Wars universe and having to adapt to the Force. They might struggle with the different technologies and cultures. For example, a Krogan might be confused by the lightsabers and Jedi mind tricks.
Some cool crossovers might involve the technology. For example, Mass Effect's advanced weaponry combined with Star Wars' unique ship designs. Picture a Star Wars starship equipped with Mass Effect kinetic barriers. Also, the storylines could cross in terms of the fight against a common enemy. Maybe a Sith - like force in the Mass Effect universe that the characters from both universes have to battle.
One interesting crossover could be the use of Mass Effect's biotic powers in the Star Wars Rebels universe. Imagine a character like Ezra using biotics to enhance his Force abilities. It would create a whole new dynamic in battles.
Another plot idea is that the Mass Relay network somehow connects to hyperspace lanes in the Star Wars universe. This causes chaos as ships from both universes start popping up in each other's space. A group of Mass Effect characters and a group of Star Wars characters could come together to try and restore order and figure out how to separate the two networks again.
One interesting Mass Effect and Star Trek fanfiction could be about a crossover where the crew of the Enterprise encounters the Reapers. Maybe they team up to fight a common threat that endangers both their universes. Another could be a story that focuses on a character from Mass Effect who somehow gets transported to the Star Trek universe and has to adapt to their technology and values.
One common theme is the clash of different technologies. Since Star Wars has a more 'fantasy - like' tech and Mass Effect has a more science - based tech, seeing how they interact is popular.
One common theme is the clash of different cultures. Since Star Wars and Mass Effect have such distinct species and societies, fanfictions often explore how they interact. Another theme is power, like the use of the Force in Star Wars compared to biotics in Mass Effect. There's also the theme of heroism, as characters from both universes come together to face big challenges.
They might start to notice similarities and differences more. For instance, they could compare the way Mass Effect handles species relations with how Star Wars does it in the fanfiction. This could lead to a deeper understanding of both universes.
One interesting crossover could be the characters from Mass Effect trying to infiltrate the Death Star. Maybe Shepard and their crew use their biotic powers and advanced technology to hack into the Death Star's systems. It would be a battle of different sci - fi universes, with the Mass Effect team facing off against the Empire's forces.
One great fanfiction could be one that combines the epic space battles of Halo and Star Wars, while also incorporating the rich lore of Mass Effect. For example, a story where Spartans team up with Jedi to fight against a common enemy that has a similar goal as the Reapers in Mass Effect. It would be full of intense combat scenes and interesting character interactions.
