Crossover with Mass Effect 2 (post-Arrival DLC) and middle of SC2 Campaign, right before the "Breakout" mission.
Mass Effect 2: Wings of Liberty (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7157475/1/MassEffect2WingsofLiberty) rated T.
I need a second opinion on this, since I haven't played any Mass Effect before. The fic itself is average story and SPaG wise, but what really, REALLY irks me is the fact that the story continually portrays ME tech as much more advanced than the Terran's. Shepard's team overpowers a sizable group of Marines and Marauders (equipped with Stimpacks and combat shields to top it off),declares Gauss rifles to be inferior to their weaponry (the author has never heard of F=1/2m v squared, apparently), and has the Normandy shrug off a Yamato cannon blast (<a href="http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Yamatocannon">http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Yamato_cannon) In game, Terran tech is nothing to be sneezed at, with cloaking for some units, regenerating metal, powered armoursuits for every soldier, and super-efficient FTL travel.
The sight of defiled canon is starting to get to me.
