Lots and lots of people play Shepard with custom appearance, lots of them prefer the default one. And I can't shake off the feeling that publishing and forcing the hashtag of Shepard with custom appearance is not a proper option. I'm having thoughts to redraw her with "canon" visuals every time, just for the sake of public appeal, and yet everytime it's the feeling of "that is not the way I see the story, that is not how I see this character".
Each and every time I am surprised to see people liking arts with my custom Shep. Damn.

scrumptious art by @mrtntw, I love their Shrios so so much ❤️❤️
Just a fluffy Shrios fic inspired by that lovely piece. This is my first ever ME fic and I have not play the games yet, forgive me if Shep and Thane are OOC, I just NEEDED to write them alive and happy
Tumblr media
You make your keys twirl at the tip of your finger as you walks.  
Earth. 
The last time you came here was years ago. 
But now you are here for some time, to enjoy this new life and the time you received with it. Santa Fe is always sunny and warm, perfect after you spent so many years in space. The interspecies community here is loud and alive and that is exactly what you need. 
You hum a tune as you walk confidently on the scorching hot pavement of the street, listening to the songs of birds in the trees, a song you did not hear for years on end too used to the low buzzing of lights and computers on the bridge.  
You reach the cafe and enters with a smile. 
"Morning Thane." You greet warmly. 
"Siha!" Thane's face immediately lightens up when he sees you, "Welcome. Look what I've made." 
He grabs a clean cup and operates the large coffee machine with practiced ease like he did it all his life until it is full, the coffee hot and foamy. He grabs a bottle of chocolate syrup that he generously adds, and then gets a jug of cream and draws a delicate heart in the foam as you sit down. He delicately hands you the cup with a tender smile, still discovering the simple joy of creating something something instead of destroying it. You take it and taste it. 
You gather it is supposed to be a Moccaccino, and by all technicality it is... but the taste is not quite there yet. 
You refrain from a wince before your lover that observes you, hopeful. 
But it is definitely better than his first tries and you command him for it! 
"Delicious..." You say under his caring gaze, "You're getting better at this." 
He winces as he leans forward on the table, his old wounds acting up. He immediately stops you as you stand up to look after him. 
"I am all right Siha." He promises, taking your hand in his to gently squeeze it, "Just a phantom pain, as always." He reassures you. 
You nod, observing your love, eyeing where he was stabbed through the chest under his shirt. 
"Shepard or not, you can't just give out coffee for free." A rough voice rises from the side of the counter. A Batarian stands here, arms crossed looking harshly at your beloved. "This is the last notice." 
"Don't worry chief!" You intervene gently, "Also the taste is much better today, he's learning." 
"He may be learning but I don't do charity. If you keep distributing coffees for free you take the door, Thane!" And the Chief disappears back into his office at the back of the coffee shop. 
"Grumbly today." You joke, amused. 
"He is right." Thane sighs, grabbing cups to wipe them dry, "I have a bad habit of offering the first drink for free." 
You shake your head with a smile. Despite being a former assassin, Thane always was such a sweet soul, nice from the bottom of his heart... You take another sip. 
"This is not necessarily a bad marketing idea." You counter, "I would love my first drink to be free everywhere. It is good for students' wallets." 
"You are no student, Siha." 
"But I remember how hard it was! Speaking of students, how is Koyliat? Did you talk recently?" You wonder. 
"He complains his studies give him headaches, but he holds on." Thane says, "I think those studies really are to his taste, he just worries no company will accept a Drell with his... record." 
"I’m glad that he is interested in his studies. He was not meant to be an assassin. He deserves a peaceful stable life after everything he went through. Ask him for the names of  the companies he contacted, I'll talk to them." 
"As Shepard the terrifying Citadel's hero?" Thane muses with a smirk. 
"Yes. And if it isn't impressive enough I’ll call them as his new stepmother!" 
"They will be shaking in their boots Siha." He chuckles. 
"Good." You respond on the same tone. 
Suddenly the bells at the door chime and at the same time the chorus of cheerful “Hi, Thane!” and “Good to see you” is heard from the entrance 
You turn your head to see a group of young men and women, aliens and humans alike around 20, entering the shop, smiling at Thane, pressing themself at the counter to get his attention. 
"Hello you all, the usual?" Thane asks already preparing the cups. 
"You know us well!" One of the young women responds, leaning over the counter. 
Is she... Trying to highlight her cleavage? 
You chuckle at that silly thought as you keep drinking your Moccaccino.  
"Go sit down, I'll bring you everything." Thane starts his row of coffees. 
They all go sit down near the window, where an abundance of plants flourishes under the rays of the sun, gushing about their favorite band or movie. Thane quickly pours the different orders for each client with practiced ease. 
"You remember everything?" You wonder. 
"Perfect memory." He responds with a smirk. 
"You never cease to amaze me, Thane." 
He clears his throat as a light pink shade comes coloring his cheeks. He grabs a tray, puts all the cups on, and brings them to his young patrons. 
"Are those free too?" The rough voice asks near you. 
You turn to the chief observing his employee carefuly. 
"No.  And I'll pay for my coffee too of course." You let him know. 
"I know you will Shepard. He just needs to lose this habit." 
"You are not really going to fire him... Will you?" You investigate the Batarian. 
He considers you before laughing. 
"I can't. Do you know how many customers he brings to the shop with his pretty face?" 
You raise an eyebrow, considering your lover taking the orders without even a pen and a notebook. 
"Does he now?" 
"He does. A lot of students and single mothers come from all over Santa Fe to see him. And they order a lot." 
You purse your lips at the scene before you, Thane smiling at the women making eyes at him. At the young woman with a deep cleavage... 
"Ah, but maybe I should not have told you that maybe?" The Chief smirks. 
"Mmmmmmh." You shrug, "I trust Thane. We both cherish our relationship." 
"I hope for you because some of them are really insistent." And he leaves with a voracious laugh. 
You lazily stir your drink as you observe your drell watering the plants and answering his clients’ playful banter. 
Yes... You trust him. 
You keep sipping your drink, leaning against the bar with a peaceful sigh, observing him working. As he comes back toward you the young woman stands up and sprints to him to give him something before sitting back down with her friends. 
He looks at his hand with a sheepish expression and hurriedly hides it in his pocket. 
You lost none of that. You squint at him coming back, repressing a mischievous smile. 
"I bet it’s her phone number." 
He stands here, stunned for a split second before sighing. 
"Yes..." 
"Ooooh, Casanova." You mock gently. 
"Please don't. You know I would never." 
"I know Thane, I know." You reassure him, "I'm more worried about the single mothers." 
"The sin- Who told you about that?" He demands 
You burst out laughing, putting your empty cup down. 
"None other than your own boss. He is very proud of you. You bring a lot of customers in!" 
Thane grumbles as he puts clean glasses in a cabinet.  
"I would prefer they came for my coffee." 
"They will once you master the art of torrefaction... But also for your cute face!" You mercilessly tease him. 
"I don't know why me. There is a lot of Drell barista in Santa Fe." 
"I guess they can feel the tragic backstory of the sexy single-father assassin." You keep toying with him, "That would have driven younger me absolutely feral too, you know." 
"But it did drive you feral, remember that night in your cabin, Siha?" His voice drops an octave as he knows makes your heart pump faster. 
you slap his arm with a warning smile. 
"I do not think you can flirt with your clients during your shift, Mister." 
"I am flirting with my wife, Siha." He keeps a low voice. 
He leans against the bar to grab your chin between his fingers and caress your lower lip. He leans further and you do the same, opening your mouth slightly apart, ready to caress his soft lips. 
"Thane! Work!" You both jump at the sound of a fist hitting a wooden door. 
You both turn your heads to his chief warning him through his office’s window that he is watching him. 
"Too bad, Casanova." You smile. 
"I'll see you tonight, Siha." He grabs your hand and gently kisses it. 
You stand up and walk to the door. Before leaving you turn back to him. 
Thane is readjusting his apron before taking new orders from the patrons. 
You smile at that scene... At that vision of him, alive and well, a survivor. Something in your gut tells you that this happy moment could have never been in another life. 
But in this one, you are together.
