Me: alright, time to sleep!

My brain: Commander Shepard probably has different names across different alien cultures and societies because even if people know what their name sounds like originally, not all species have the biological configuration (i.e. teeth, lips) to make the sh and p sounds and names are often adapted across languages anyway. Some of their names might preserve a phoneme or two and tweak the rest to fit the sounds a species favors (clicks? trills? something else?); other names give up on the original sound altogether and instead come up with a word in the target language that can be interpreted as “a shepherd,” names that mean “guide” or “watcher” or “usher.” Names that get made up when an alien says, in their own language, “Commander Term-for-human-that-herds-animals” and then whatever that sounds like gets contracted into a shorter, more manageable name. Maybe sometimes Commander Shepard hears folks greet them and the translator says Shepard, but what they hear is something entirely different: an echo of their influence crossing cultural boundaries, a galaxy-wide awareness of the role they have to play.

Shakarian au where instead of enlisting Shepard ends up drifting around before eventually ending up on Omega and becoming Aria T'Loak's No. 1 Attack Dog (and lowkey adoptive daughter though both of them would gag if anyone even attempted to point out their very weird found family vibe).

Whenever Aria has a problem, she just throws Shepard at it who deals with it with extreme prejudice. A renegade force of nature who has never failed to deliver on a job. Despite all the enemies Shepard has made as the most versatile ace up Aria's sleeve, no one's ever managed to one up her. At least until a certain Turian vigilante starts causing problems in Omega.

Archangel never directly attacks Aria's chief enforcer and Shepard has no reason to go after some upstart vigilante that's probably going to get a bullet to the back of the head before too long, but they keep running into each other doing their respective jobs. Sometimes they're working towards opposite aims, sometimes they're working towards the same goal. Either way they're constantly trying to outdo each other in semi friendly competition and being obnoxiously flirty about it.

Garrus' team won't stop teasing him about the flirting especially since half the time he doesn't even seem to realize just how flirtatious and outright seductive he gets when he's taunting Shepard and are placing bets on how long it will take the two of them to put everyone out of their misery and finally resolve all the unresolved sexual tension.

Aria on the other hand is going to fucking lose it if Shepard comes into the Afterlife one more time mooning over her stupid vigilante not-boyfriend. Aria almost wishes Shepard would go back to being the argumentative little shit she usually is than listen to her talk about just how impressive whatever trick shot Archangel did to take out some Eclipse Lieutenant. Aria's lived for over a thousand years but she does not think she's ever been as stressed as she has been in the last decade since she first met scrappy 19 year old Shepard, and now she has to deal with lovesick 30 year old Shepard who is somehow infinitely worse. Everyone knows Aria actually cares for Shepard though because anyone else would have met the wrong end of Aria's shotgun if they pulled even an eigth of the things Shepard gets away with on a daily basis.

However no one suffers more than the criminals of Omega as Shepard and Garrus compete to outdo each other in increasingly ridiculous stunts to impress each other, most of which culminate in some merc dying a truly humiliating death as little more than fodder for whatever battlefield banter Shepard and Garrus are exchanging.

For when you miss me.

Needed some inspiration, found it in a reference via @drawyourblankas, and just let myself go with it! Of course it ended up being the commander and her space wife, again <3.

Decided to lose myself in fanfic this week, so here’s a shameless plug for one of my all-time favorite shakarian series, Turian Machinations of Spectres and Primarchs by Some_Writer.

It’s post Destroy Ending done so goodddddd. First installment is from the perspective of Primarch Victus with the next part being from Garrus. I could gush for hours, but y’all can trust me when I say it’s fantastic characterization and head cannon with some great OCs and the angst with a happy ending? Flawless. If you love shakarian and haven’t read this series or at least The Primarch’s Order you’re missing out!
