IT'S N7 DAY!

Here's my Shepard <3

Process for my coloured pencil portrait of Otto Shepard for @dandenbo for those interested.

Joker x reader Shepard headcanons

[Fluff, ME1, nb!reader]

He has noticed how much you frequent the Normandy bridge despite not having any tasks there

As a commander, your position is in the cushy back with caption Anderson in the com room or in front of the holographic space map.

And yet here you are, standing next to his pilot chair and refusing to take Kaidan's seat next to him.

At first he did think he was in trouble, did the captain send you to spy on him perhaps?

But with time, he started warming up to you, getting less defensive about talking about his past.

You laugh at his jokes, even the awkward bad ones get at least a chuckle or a smile out of you. He wonders is he should go check with the medic on why his heart had been beating faster than normal these days.

Although he does thank the stars for the fact you keep standing behind his chair rather than next to him, with the way your armour hugs your body, he would've crashed the Normandy into a stray astroide or something by now.

It's...lovely, having a friend. He is used to short encounters with people, for them to laugh at his jokes then shake their head and walk away.

But you've stayed with him on the helm, stayed even when the jokes ran out and even when the ache of his legs started souring his mood.

He hates asking for help, hates people looking at him with pity.

But you didn't. You kept a casual air around you as you handed him the painkillers and started chatting about a random topic you wanted his opinions on.

Although, your presence has been getting the helm of the ship more visitors than usual. Ashley dropping by to hand you a cold drink, Kaidan coming around to check on the navigators, a duty he usually ignores.

Tali stopping by to speak her theories and ask Joker for his insight, Liara following along and having their ideas bounce off each other.

Wrex who silently stays by your side, polishing his shotgun and never saying another word. Yet sometimes Joker swears he can hear his deep chuckles at a stray pun he just said to you.

Garrus follows after Wrex with his inquires about your next mission, asking for permission to run inventory and check your weapons.

Joker has never had these many people coming by, even if it's for you, they still talk to him.

He has a friend group, something he never thought he'd have. They invite him for drinks and share the shore team inside jokes with him.

And it's all because of you being patient with him, because of the way you stayed by his side.

Your presence starts to warm his heart, he finds himself involuntarily smiling whenever he hears the sounds of your footsteps approaching him.

Not to mention, you let him gossip about Nihlus with you as much as he wants. Even when you end up reprimanding him for going off about your spectres mentor.

He likes the passing touches you give him, be it ruffling his hair fondly or a reassuring grip on his shoulder.

Your voice is soothing too, time flies by whenever he's listening to you talk as he steers the ship.

It was a gradual build up to the day he eventually made a half-joking remark about how you spend so much time with him, the two of you might as well start dating.

Masking his nervousness with humour as he kept his eyes focused ahead, wondering if the stretched seconds of silence are building up for a rejection he will have to face.

But instead, it's your reassuring grip again. Trailing up his neck from his shoulder and caressing his face.

"I'd really like that" you admit.

Paragon Without a Cause

Rating: Teen Tags: Major character death, some graphic violence Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy Relationships: Shrios, Shavik, Cloma, Shepard & Kolyat Summary: Miles made it back to their apartment by the skin of their teeth and the skinned remains of the mystery mercs chasing them. With a moment to rest, this unfortunately gives them a moment to think about their dearly departed. Which is the LAST thing they want.

What they need is a mission, a new mission to occupy them and Liara might actually be useful to them for once!

---

“Now about Ryuusei, I have some choice words for you!” Tali charged over, her short stature barely making it up to Miles’ chest, which she directly assaulted with a jab of her finger. “All through my Pilgrimage! I gazed at that place, thinking one day I’d be able to go in and eat there, one day I’d be worth something, and it would be the most well-deserved meal I’d ever get! And then… and then… you broke their floor!”

“Tali, you can’t eat sushi.”

“ Not the point, Shepard! ” Oh, they missed Tali. Why did everyone else try to tear into their time with pointless activities, why couldn’t everyone else be replaced by Tali. (Unless she tried to talk to them about their feelings. She did that sometimes. They didn’t appreciate that.)

Were you annoyed by Bel Anoleis in ME1? Well, my Shepard as well and they decided to teach him some respect. In the enjoyable way.

Going along with this is the absolute filth of a fanfic I wrote and I'm going to (almost) shamelessly post it here:

[jrmaxwell]

Song from my Spotify Wrapped for your ocs: Right Back Where We Started From by Maxine Nightingale!

[send me a song from your Spotify Wrapped and I'll match it to an OC]

Maxine Nightingale - Right Back Where We Started From

Okay, first, THANK YOU. This song is so fun. I was bobbing my head to it the whole time (thank goodness no one walked by my office to see...)

I'm getting Winter Shepard x Kaidan Alenko vibes here. It's going to take a lot of healing for these two to rekindle their relationship, but Winter seeing Kaidan hurt on Mars... it guts them. And they've missed him. A lot.

Horizon wasn't "little." Winter enjoyed their ME2-era fling with Miranda. Kaidan dated others in the meantime, too. But Winter fell hard for Kaidan during ME1. A depth of feelings they didn't realize until Mars, and its aftermath. I can't blame these two for trying to restore what they had in the midst of Reapers invading the galaxy. <3

Summary:

[Redacted] Shepard went into Akuze. It was supposed to be a routine mission. It wasn't. They were thrown from doctor to doctor, therapist to shrink to psychiatrist. At the end of the day, it was Captain Anderson that saved their life. He had them assigned to the Normandy and put under the care of Karin Chakwas, the ship's doctor. All they needed was to be left alone. Everyone says Shepard was the only survivor of that hellscape mission, but they didn't make it out either. Zero survivors.

They heard someone say Halsin is weird.

His name is Bakhrom, Baki for short
