A couple of completed Mass Effect fanfics by FrankLeroux:
Tango 'Til They're Sore is a Mass Effect 2 AU. Primarily - though not exclusively - from the viewpoint of an alternate Donnelly, the Normandy SR-2's engineer. This is a man who's seen some shit, and is very sanguine about the half-naked crazy biotic bunking underneath his workspace. Departs significantly from the canon events of ME2. Which is how it should be, because otherwise what's the point?
Long Black Road is a John Wick/Mass Effect fusion. Yeah. John Wick in Mass Effect. This was considerably less silly than I thought it would be. Set in the same AU as Tango (and intersects with the Normandy cast towards the end). For all intents and purposes, Long Black Road is a heist movie. John Wick leading a heist crew in the ME setting isn't something I expected, but I'm glad to have read it.
Tango has an incomplete epilogue/sidestory/sequel, but the main story is indeed complete (and as the author notes, the followup story is meant to be a light character piece rather than a full sequel).
