''Mass Effect 3: Generations'' is a fan comic drawn on Website/DeviantArt by [[http://adl-art.deviantart.com/ Adeleon]] soon after the [[BrokenBase infamous]] ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' [[GainaxEnding ending]]. It details an alternative ending to the trilogy, kicking off with the [[AllJustADream Indoctrination Theory]], from which Blake Shepard is rescued via the Liara’s mindmeld. He then proceeds to go into the heart of the Citadel with the rest of his squad, battle [[TheDragon The Illusive Man]] and the clones of Shepard’s dead squadmates, orders that [[BigBad Harbinger]] be bombed to pieces by the Volus Bombers. Then he settles down with Tali and has a hybrid child.

Has a sequel known as ''Mass Effect: Legacy'', which follows the adventures of the children of Shepard’s crew in the battle against a group of anti-human terrorists. It remains permanently unfinished after the author removed all traces of both comics from their page and shut it down following the not-so-hot reception to them by the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fanbase. An [[DramaticReading audio drama]] on Website/YouTube was made, but it has since been taken down.

!!Tropes that ''Mass Effect 3: Generations'' and ''Mass Effect: Legacy'' provide examples of:

* CutShort: Adeleon had slowed down work on ''Legacy'' by the time ''Franchise/MassEffect'' fans discovered it, but their reactions caused him to remove both comics from his page, making it highly unlikely that he'll ever pick it up again.
* DavidVersusGoliath: The Volus Bombers destroying the [[BigBad Harbinger]] almost instantly.
* EnergyWeapon: Tali has suddenly gained twin combat (not targeting or anything canonical) lasers to the side of her helmet, and the quarian spider husks have cannons firing large green beams not resembling anything found in the games.
* FixFic: ''Generations'' seems to exist in order to "fix" the ending of the game, but all it seems to do is just lead into the "Destroy" ending with Shepard unharmed.
* EvilTwin: The Cerberus-made clones all dead Normandy crewmembers. Thane, Kaidan, Mordin and others are all cloned by completely unexplained means and with no foreshadowing, [[RuleOfCool purely in order to have an epic showdown]].
* FlashForwardFic: ''Legacy'' was set twenty years after ''Generations'', and contains a cast of mostly {{Original Character}}s.
* OlderAndWiser: Garrus has become Turian Primarch by the time of ''Legacy''.
* NeckSnap: One Brute seems to have its neck snap snapped, or at least bent out of shape by the charging Grunt.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Exaggerated, as the "rogue spectre Saren" is misspelled as "rougue spectre Saren". Also the "neo medigel" is "bought in" rather than brought in, etc.
* TheStationsOfTheCanon: ''Generations'' opens with Shepard summarizing all of the important Mass Effect choices he's made throughout the series.
* UnusualWeaponMounting: Tali's twin helmet lasers, just appearing there with no explanation. Given how thin her helmet is and that Mass Effect weapons are known for generating a lot of heat (in fact, portable laser weapons don't even EXIST in ME-verse), it's a wonder her face didn’t melt.
* WrittenSoundEffect: In spades, ranging from the simple "Booom!" to the odd "Waduuum!"
