* DoctorsOrders: When Shepard ''finally'' goes to get checked out, Chakwas goes beyond just ordering her around, she gives a full-on reprimand. The legendary Commander Shepard is reduced to cringing like a guilty teenager being lectured by her mother, complete with a FullNameUltimatum.

''In the Shadow of Gods'' is a fanfic {{Crossover}} of ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' and ''Franchise/MassEffect''. When Abigail Shepard responds to a distress beacon from a team of scientists investigating the remains of a mysterious warship, the last thing she expects to encounter is a super soldier that somebody else- somebody who hates her with a vengeance- is after for reasons unknown. The work can be found [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1099236/chapters/2211681 here.]]

!!''In the Shadow of Gods'' provides examples of:

* AcePilot: Joker manages to catch Shepard and the Chief, who are flying through space after jumping off the Athens, in one of Normandy's side ports.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Averted. The Chief can't understand what Tali and Garrus are saying.
* ChunkySalsaRule: Master Chief's first kill of the story has him crushing a mook's face with one hand.
* TheDeadHaveNames: Shepard remembers the names of all of the people she couldn't save.
* ItIsDehumanizing: In the first chapter, Shepard thinks for a moment about how she used to correct herself when referring to EDI as "she". She deduces that Master Chief considers [[spoiler:Cortana]] to be a person since he refers to her as "she" and not it.
* HiredGuns: The mercenaries that attack the Athens.
* MadeOfIron: Master Chief. He calmly catalogues his numerous injuries while simultaneously shooting and smashing his way through dozens of mooks.
* MoeGreeneSpecial: Shepard does this to a mook while considering the implications of Master Chief's use of a military rank as identification.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Chief's attitude towards Cortana. He's completely unwilling to abandon her, especially after doing so once before during the events of Halo 2.
* OneManArmy: Master Chief. Shepard to a slightly lesser extent.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The mysterious BigBad shoots down one of [[spoiler:her]] own fighters so that [[spoiler:she]] can be the one to (try to) kill Shepard.
* SealedBadassInACan: Master Chief. He ''punches'' his way out.
* StraightForTheCommander: A mercenary sniper tries to do this to Shepard, but ends up shooting [[spoiler:Tali]] instead.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: When the mercenaries realize that they're under attack from Abigail Shepard, one of them interjects on the radio with an unwelcome (but very accurate) "We're fucked."
* WouldNotShootACivilian: Averted by the mercenaries, who have no compunctions about murdering all of the scientists aboard the ''Athens''.
