Thank you for all of the lovely suggestions, my dear! I especially like the Mass Effect one. And I'll be sure to check out your short story as soon as I can!
Np. The Mass Effect novels are good, for the most part. The most recent one that ties into ME3 had to be heavily edited due to a crap-ton of errors within the canon and universe (sometimes entire planets were opposite to their original nature, such as Palaven).
The audio version for Revelation is also brilliant. I got it for cheap and it certainly is enjoyable.
