you are my daughter

summary:

Upon discovering that his SAM is not compatible with anyone other than his closest relatives, Alec Ryder knows he needs backups. He also knows he can't trust his spineless son as the new Pathfinder.

His daughter, on the other hand, is far simpler. Spew something about building a new society in a new galaxy so that biotics like her don't have to suffer, put her on the Pathfinder team, give her the SAM implant - done. Hard and solid proof that she is his daughter, not some random pilot's. Yes, they didn't speak to each other for a decade, but she is his daughter. She will forever be his daughter.

She is his daughter, no one else's. End of. Case closed.

author's notes:

written for september's prompt fill in the mass effect forever discord server: foreboding. some of the tags won't make sense if you don't read the previous entries of the series, but if you don't have the time, just keep in mind that Alec is a very, very unreliable narrator. The tags are not a joke. I repeat: the tags are not a joke. I can write entire essays on how Alec Ryder is a massive arsehole who sees his family as his possessions instead of actual human beings, but for now, please have this.

For people who haven't read the books or have heard of them but don't know anything about them, the SAM implant incompatibility thing comes from Cora's novel.

A smaller little comic I made based off of this fic by @swaps55. Even if you don't know the rest of the fanfiction series, it's worth reading. It's so 🥰

Silver

Morning sun cuts through the small, circular bathroom window and spills onto the bedroom floor, bright enough Kaidan thought they’d left the light on overnight. But when he rolls out of bed and pads over to the open door, rubbing sleep out of his eyes, it’s just the sunlight and Shepard scowling in front of the mirror, towel slung low on his hips as he leans in to examine something on his chin.

They have nowhere to be until tomorrow, when they have to head into Vancouver to greet Jack’s latest field trip of Grissom biotics for a weekend stay at the orchard. In fact, Kaidan distinctly remembers a conversation yesterday afternoon about lounging in bed this morning to enjoy some peace before the madness descends. Yet here Shepard is, awake before the alarm Kaidan had turned off, ready to take the day head on.

Some things never change.   

“Morning,” Kaidan says, leaning against the doorframe to take in the sight with a soft smile.

Shepard grunts in response, tilting his neck and practically pressing his face against the mirror while scrubbing a thumb across the stubble on his cheek. Sometimes, if the light hits it right, Kaidan can still see the ghostly white lines of the Lazarus scarring. But as more years go by, they’re harder and harder to see.

Time does heal, he supposes.

“Something wrong?” Kaidan asks.

Shepard presses and pulls at the skin over his lip before finally glancing over his shoulder at Kaidan in the doorway. The way his gaze lingers for a moment over Kaidan’s bare chest still sends a delighted shiver down his spine.

“Being rudely reminded of the passage of time,” he grumbles, then points to his chin. “I think I have a grey hair.”

Kaidan heart clutches unexpectedly, the way it used to do over and over in the days, weeks, hell, months after the final push. Memories that feel distant except in moments like this whisper in his ear.

(I’ll be fine.)

(I can’t lose you again.)

(We both know this is goodbye.)

He draws in a sharp breath, sharp enough that Shepard’s irritation vanishes in a heartbeat.

“What is it?” Shepard asks.

Kaidan takes in the lean but softening muscle of Shepard’s chest, the deepening laugh lines around his eyes, the soft brush of silver that’s not just in his stubble – it’s in his temples, too, now that Kaidan’s looking.

“Nothing,” he says, swallowing around the lump in his throat. “Just…something I never thought I’d get to see.”

N7 day is around the corner. I am not expecting any substantial news at all, honestly. Bioware is a shell of what it used to be and I have very little expectations. All I want is that the companions were happy over these long years. I would even swallow my jealousy if they end up pairing Garrus and Tali as canon, as long as they are happy.

I poke fun of the guys but I adore them. Anders and Astarion especially, they mean a great deal to me. My muse, my inspiration, my love.

man playing a dragon age game as an abomination would rock so tremendously tho. you're a possessed person and you have to play as two characters making up one person and balance it out so one half of the equation doesn't swallow the other half. maybe you could choose what kind of spirit at the beginning of the game and it would count as your class basically. It Would Be Cool

And so a night of gambling begins, various conversations taking place, bets made, and stories traded. What shall the end of the night bring to these ladies?

Headcanon Requests are Open!

Hey everyone,

I've decided to try out requests by opening them for headcanons only. If it goes well, I might open up my requests for fics.

Currently, I only write fluff or angst. I'm building my way up to writing smut (I'm nervous). These will be x reader (pls specify if you want male or female. If you don't, I'll just do GN!)

I'll write them asap but I work and study full time so might have a lil delay on them.

Please see below a list of people I'll do headcanons for below the cut :D If there's anything you're not sure of, please ask.
