''[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=190194 Ghost Story]]'' by Nuts! ([[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6985338/1/Ghost_Story FF.Net version under the alternate identity of Norwest]]) is a ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles[=/=]VideoGame/MassEffect'' crossover fanfic.

'''Massive unmarked spoilers for the Dresden books ''Changes'' and ''Ghost Story'' ahead!''

Harry Dresden is dead. So is John Shepard. There is no rest for the weary, however, for Upstairs is sending them to the other's universe to set things right.

!This fanfic contains examples of the following:

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Carlos]] facing a Geth army and Sovereign and actually doing some damage.
* {{Expy}}: Harry's picked up a Bob-equivalent in [[spoiler: Fido]] and a "replacement" for Murphy in Ash.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Why [[spoiler: Carlos]] has to die.
* OutsideContextVillain: Shepard in the Dresdenverse with his biotic powers is a different game. Harry in ME, not so much given that human wizards are still a power.
* StoryBreakerPower: With all the tech in ME, Harry's WalkingTechbane status would make him broken. The author's fix is making Eezo prevent that.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler: If Harry returns to Earth, Mab will know instantly and reclaim him.]]
