"Team Milky Way" (actually spelled Team MilkyWay although it might be a typo since the sequel is spelled normally) is a Self-Insert fanfic set in the Mass Effect universe co-authored by TehMarishal (Sarah), celestial-insanity (Abby), and hk47fan (HK). The three make a wish over IM based on a chain mail and end up in the Mass Effect universe. The story was written largely on impulse (Word of God), with the authors putting down whatever they felt like writing.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This resulted in a somewhat schizophrenic story. Sometimes, it is very light and fluffy, with some very comedic moments. At other times, the fic is quite dark and gloomy. Team Milky Way alternatively follows Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny, sometimes both and sometimes neither. It hangs lampshades and makes some pop culture references (but not to the same degree as Mass Vexations). Sometimes is is a Deconstruction, sometimes it is a Reconstruction, sometimes it plays tropes straight.Team Milky Way starts somewhere near the beginning of Mass Effect 2, with Abby, Sarah, and HK finding themselves aboard the Normandy SR-2. They travel with Shepard, helping her recruit team members and gain their loyalty. There is a lot of drama, comedy and action along the way. Unlike other self-inserts where the characters reveal everything or nothing, Team Milky Way takes somewhat of a middle ground. Shepard is aware of their knowledge, but not how they got it, and they only tell her things just before they are about to happen. This results in some issues for all involved parties, but not as much as you might think.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There is also a sequel, deleted scenes, a (possibly abandoned) spinoff, and a silly alternate ending for Sarah.

Darker and Edgier: The sequel. Sarah loses an arm and a leg, literally and is suffering from PTSD, Abby and HK are wondering what the hell they are doing, and Shepard is meaner and less pleasant. Justified, considering the entire galaxy is at war. There's a section in the middle of the original that involves torture and forced extraction of information when HK gets captured by the Collectors.

I Just Want to Be Badass: In-universe. After completely failing training, Sarah tries to get Mordin to give her biotics, which is impossible. She later attempts to prove she can be useful in combat, too (twice), and fails again.

Epigraph: The sequel has quotes, usually from Mass Effect characters, before each chapter. Usually they describe the current situation, though some are Played for Laughs.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: Shepard almost always keeps the same three-person teams as in the source material.
