    Summary

    Sometimes, to find the way back you just need room to breathe. Or a quiet moment to work on your biotic techniques.

    Kaidan thought he’d hallucinated the incident on Mars. It had to be something his addled brain cobbled together in the aftermath of having his head crushed against a bulkhead. Shepard may have always been unpredictable under live fire, but he’d never tried to use himself as a mass-accelerated object.

    No one’s that insane.

    They were always going to come around to each other. It was just a question of when.

    A kaleidoscope of first kisses.

    Shepard is more than the N7 emblem they're about to pin on his chest.

    Summary

    Sam and Kaidan do a little unexpected Skygazing on Eletania.

    Kaidan exhales in relief and rolls onto his back beside Shepard, staring up at the sky. It’s blue and serene, the dusty haze of Eletania’s ring sweeping through it like a starfield. One of the most beautiful things he’s ever seen. A laugh spills out of him.

    “Fuck. I thought you were dead. Again.”

    “Yeah,” Shepard says with a chuckle of his own. “Me too.”

    Kaidan puts a shaking hand to his faceplate, apparently not done laughing. “Why do you always have to touch stuff?”

    “I’m sorry, who had to go lick the beacon on Eden Prime?”

    “That was professional curiosity.”

    Opus - The Multiverse by

    Fandom: Mass Effect Trilogy

    29 Oct 2024

    Summary

    Sam Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, outside the main Opus!Verse. Here you'll find prompts and one-shots that don't quite belong in their main "canon" story. These are concept art ideas, self-indulgent 'what if this happened' stories and 'how many times in how many different ways can I write their first kiss' stories. :)
