I’m still amazed at how much SAM loves Reyes.

I know you wanted far cry but... Reyder? For "killed him? Wait, what, literally?" ???? 👀👀

“You have more enemies than you know.”

“Well, that’s not…eerily cryptic or anything.” Scott doesn’t bother to lift his head, simply tipping his chin down.

Reyes is still sprawled over his chest, drawing nonsense patterns on his ribs. There’s sweat on their skins and it’s going to become incredibly uncomfortable in about five minutes.

But the afterglow is turning his brains and bones to mush so Scott isn’t going to complain.

“I’m simply stating fact. We found another faction just last week, led by a man who wanted your head on a pike for no more than daring to do your best to find us all a place in this world.”

“People didn’t get what they were promised.” Scott sighs, running a hand through Reyes’ hair. “Can’t blame them for being mad. Sorta wish they’d stop trying to kill me, though.”

“He won’t be a threat any longer.” Reyes says simply. “I killed him.”

“Oh,” Scott yawns, jaw cracking as he tries to stretch under the weight of Reyes’ body. “That’s nice.”

God, he’s exhausted. Running around Kadara was hard on a good day and–

Wait.

“Killed him? Wait, what, literally?”

“He was threatening someone I loved.” Reyes snorts. “What was I supposed to do? Let him off with a warning?”

“You are…extremely terrifying.”

“Yes,” Reyes pushes himself up, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips before pulling away with a grin. “Luckily for you? I’m on your side.”

N7 Day 2017 is almost upon us. In 2012 BioWare dubbed November 7th N7 Day, intending it as a global unofficial holiday when they would come together with fans. N7 Day is a celebration of the Mass Effect universe and the franchise’s community.

This year, Mass Effect: Andromeda was released. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as well-received as people had hoped. Consequently, when it comes to the future of the franchise, we as fans find ourselves in a strange sort of limbo. However! Despite the circumstances, we still want to celebrate all things Mass Effect on this N7 Day. Therefore, after some discussion, we decided to try and create a cross-platform celebration campaign – the “Thank You Mass Effect” campaign. It’s a collaborative effort between Deb @omegastation, MJ @jaalamadarav and SofaJockey (a BSN moderator). The goal is simple: to celebrate Mass Effect and express our thanks for the good times we had with it. The campaign covers the whole franchise, including the games, books and comics. All are welcome to take part, and you can participate on as many or as few platforms as you like. We’d love for as many people as possible to see the message on N7 Day. Maybe we can even get it trending! So how can you join in?

The following platforms are involved:

• Twitter – hashtag #thankyoumasseffect  You can tweet the hashtag as-is, or add in what you’re thankful for, e.g. “#thankyoumasseffect for giving us Commander Shepard”. You can make it a general tweet, or tweet at specific accounts, for example @masseffect, @bioware, devs and voice actors. There are lists of some relevant Twitter accounts that you might find useful here (under Social Media Links) and here 

• Tumblr – post anything you’d like to share, from fanfiction to gifs and edits, to the tag #thankyoumasseffect  Signal boosts of this post are super appreciated :)

• BioWare Social Network (New Unofficial Forums) – A partnered discussion thread for N7 Day and our theme can be found here. What do you love about the franchise? What are some of your favorite moments from the games?

• Instagram – share anything you’d like to share, such as fanart you did, to the tag #thankyoumasseffect. Please don’t repost other peoples’ art without credit and permission. BioWare can be found at @biowarebase  • Reddit – not a platform as such, but a corresponding post can be found here

A note on use of the campaign’s message: if you do tweet at or otherwise engage with BioWare devs or voice actors, please remain polite and respectful. We’re just trying to show our appreciation, and harassment of individuals is not nice. People also have all different kinds of feelings about the games and universe; this campaign is meant to be positive. Thank you.

What’s the point of the “Thank You Mass Effect” campaign? What can we hope for as fans? There isn’t going to be any Andromeda DLC, and it’s up in the air whether or not there will be another Mass Effect game in the future. At the moment there isn’t a way to know for sure. Where does that leave us? We just think that this N7 Day is a good time to send the message that there are still a lot of passionate Mass Effect fans out there, who care a lot about the franchise and its future. So #ThankyouMassEffect! 

Let’s show our appreciation. Happy N7 Day!

Disclaimer: We have since discovered @emmavakarian-theirin had created a similar campaign prior to ours (check it out here!) and we have addressed this with her. She’s fine for ours to continue. We are thankful and very grateful!

#thanksmasseffect

as i’m sure the fandom is aware, this year marks the 10th anniversary of mass effect. november 16th, to be precise, just 9 days after n7 day. and given all that’s happened to the franchise and bioware this year, i think we should take those 9 days and make it the best anniversary ever.

share why you love it! show us what it means to you! tell us your favourite moments! express how it changed you! explain what made you pick it up and not put it down!

give it all the love you can!!

let’s show bioware, and in extension, ea, that we still love it, that we want more, that we don’t want it to die.

can y'all believe that reyes’ smile singlehandedly cured my depression

18 for m reyder

18. I shouldn’t be in love with you.

KadaraPort was a place that never slept. At any point of night or day you could findsome entertainment, legal or otherwise. But sometimes fancy drinks, franticbeat of the music, mind-numbing drugs or getting lost in the crowd wasn’t whatyou wanted, what you needed. Sometimes the solitude in two, the intimacy oftemporarily sharing your flat, your bed, and your heart with the person youloved was enough.

Andit could bring just as much fun.

“Ispy with my little eye something beginning with a letter ‘L’,” said Scott, aplayful smile on his face as he leaned slightly back to have a better look athis lover. Reyes lay on the bed, his hands resting casually on Scott’s thighswith Ryder straddling him. They both wore nothing but underwear. Usually thatwas a prelude to getting hot and steamy, but they were tired today and simplynot in a mood for sexy times. If anything, the mood was far more childish,impish.

“Hm…Leg?” Reyes murmured, venturing a guess, his voice like honey.

“Nope.”Scott let his hand slide from his lover’s stomach to his chest. Reyes approvedof that with a languid hum.

“Lamp?”

“Nuh-uh.”

“Lap?Which is precisely where you are sitting right now. Very comfortably, I mightadd.”

“Nooo…”Scott bared his teeth in a wide grin, his fingers dancing across Reyes’ solarplexus to coax a better answer. But Reyes was out of ideas.

“Idon’t know, Scott. Please enlighten me.”

“Everytime someone says ‘enlighten me’ all I can think of is ‘enkindle this’,” headmitted, not at all sorry. Reyes rolled his eyes but not without certainfondness.

“Everyonein Andromeda knows that you’re a Blasto nerd,” he said, casting a knowingglance at Scott’s underwear. This time it was white, a standard Initiativeissue, but last week his boxers were covered in tiny armed hanars. Reyesremembered cackling so hard that he nearly fell out of bed. “But come on, whatyou had in mind?”

Scottbit on his knuckle to muffle a silly giggle and tapped his other hand lightlyagainst his lover’s shoulder.

“Lazybum.”

Reyesgawked at him incredulously and then started to laugh.

“Ryder!That’s cheating!”

“It’snot!” he protested, pretending to be offended. “And even if I did cheat, whichI totally didn’t, what would you do about it?”

“Why,punish you, of course!” Reyes let out a battle cry and grabbed a pillow,smacking Scott right in the face. Not too strong, but enough for Scott to gasplike a wronged prima donna.

“Oh,you jerk…!” He was choking on chuckles, but very determined to exact hisrevenge.

Reyeswas quicker. Before Scott could do anything, he sat up, wrapped his armstightly around his lover and pulled him down, pressing him hard to his chest,laughing all the time. And Scott laughed too as Reyes flipped them around. Hislaughter turned into high pitched squeals though when Reyes took advantage ofhis ultimate weakness – tickles.

“Nooooo!”he cried out, trying to wriggle away from those nimble fingers mercilesslyteasing his skin. No such luck. They tumbled in the sheets, laughing until theycouldn’t breathe. Panting heavily, the Pathfinder and the Charlatan laytogether sprawled across the bed, goofy smiles adorning their faces. A shortmoment of respite, of togetherness, when the titles they bore meant nothing.They were just Scott and Reyes enjoying not being anything else. No pressure,no responsibilities.

Scottshifted, so that he could let his head rest on Reyes’ shoulder.

“Ishouldn’t be in love with you. You’re awful,” he said, placing a chaste kiss onhis neck.

“Shouldn’timply that you in fact are in love with me,” Reyes countered, his goldeneyes warm and honest. Scott could get lost in them so easily. And he wouldn’thave minded that, not one bit.

“MaybeI am…”

Theykissed, their world a safe bubble of languid slides of tongues and tangledlimbs.
