My and @antivanruffles' Shepard sisters, Ailin and Corinne. I've missed these gals

[antivanruffles]

Who: Corinne Shepard/Kaidan Alenko

Rating: T

Tags: pre-relationship, ME1, feelings realization, canon divergence,

Summary: Three times Kaidan helped Shepard realize that being different wasn't always a bad thing.

A/N: Some Shenko fluff for the Year of the OTP event. Ailin belongs to @cursedwithgloriouspurpose. Both Ailin and Corinne are part of our Family Matters AU, you can read more of that HERE you like.

____________________________

The first time she realized Kaidan was different, it was because she felt heard.  

Corinne, as her sister, Ailin, would always happily point out, was a nerd. She had never been the most socially adept person, it just wasn't her strength. She had grown into her rank and title to (hopefully) become an effective leader, but that didn't mean it got any easier to deal with people. It just meant she could play the role and follow regulations. She still felt like an awkward teenager sometimes, jealous of her sister's natural social graces.  But not every situation followed the regs and people rarely went by protocol; they were generally unpredictable, and full of surprises. Which was why Corinne had always preferred tech and machines and math, that was straightforward, never messy or confusing. Corinne always knew what she could expect. 

That was why she had become an engineer. It just made sense. Even if she couldn't be totally sure she was a good commander, a good leader, she could say she was a damn good engineer. In that regard she had blossomed in the Alliance, with all the newest toys at her disposal. She no longer had to scrounge and save, buying used parts to piecemeal something together. Something that was always an approximation and never at its best. That was why she was so utterly infatuated with the Normandy. Everything about it was a marvel, top of the line, and cutting edge. Nothing piecemeal about it. She would spend hours going over the ship from tip to tail if she could. The newest toy she could imagine. It gave her something to obsess over and something to talk about. Much to Ailin's chagrin. 

Corinne often could be found poking around various parts of the ship, tinkering and learning all she could about it. So it was that Kaidan stumbled over her one day, and simply asked her what she was doing; clearly amused at finding the commander lodged half way under a console like a grease monkey under the hood of a transport ship. 

She didn't think about her reply, just answered his question as she shimmied out to fully look at him. Her answer wasn't diluted, just an honest response with more technobabble than she might use with her sister. Not to discredit her sister, because Corinne knew Ailin was capable and smart, but she didn't really care about how tech or machinery worked, just so long as it did. Because of that Corinne was used to a certain level of detachment when she babbled about the more intricate workings of something. Not that Ailin wouldn't listen, just that after a certain point her eyes would start to glaze over even as she nodded encouragingly. 

Kaidan, however, listened intently, asking questions as she spouted off more and more facts and anecdotes about the marvel of the SR-1. Eventually Corinne came to herself and realized she had gone off on a tangent even Adams would find tedious. She rose slowly from where she had been crouched on the ground and awkwardly rubbed her hands on her thighs, uncaring of the streaks of grease and crime she left behind.

She didn't expect malice, only a certain brand of boredom that she had grown accustomed to over the years when she got too carried away. Corinne could feel the embarrassment settling in, worried she had taken up too much of Shenko's time, and it was only because he was too polite to interrupt his commanding officer that he hadn't stopped her to tell her she was rambling. 

"Sorry," she said to the floor. "I didn't mean to take up so much of your time, Lieutenant." 

She looked up at his huffed laugh and found nothing but genuine interest in his eyes. Corinne wasn't used to that. People could be kind, she knew, but it was rare she found someone who managed to keep up with her. It seemed like Alenko had.

#22 for any/all of your Shepards? Please and thank you!

Thank you for the ask!

22. What is your OC the most guilty about?

Nathaly:  Currently, she is carrying an unimaginable amount of survivor's guilt regarding the destruction of the SR-1, and  a nearly equal amount regarding what she put her friends, family, and Kaidan through by dying.  It's absolutely strangling her.  But she carries guilt for a long time-- it sinks down into her skin.

Ben:  Marrying his ex-wife.  Corinne and Ben met at the age of two, when they landed in the same group home and became fast friends.  They continued to cross paths for the next several years as they went in and out of foster family placements, until they were put in the same placement at age six.  They ran away from that placement together at age eight.  They lived on the streets together, they joined the Reds together, and they went through the terror of getting out of the gang together.

For nearly their entire childhood, they would daydream together about the family they'd have one day, one nobody could take away from them.  This continued as they grew up, even though it was increasingly obvious that they would never work as that kind of family, and went through it with it largely because eighteen-year-olds don't have the wisdom of the ages, and the dream had sustained them through too much pain and fear to give up.  It lasted two years.

Jane: Jane isn't good at feeling guilty.  She has plenty of memories she wished turned out differently, but a high degree of personal confidence that she did the best she could.  But right now, she's got a rare case of guilt, because her medical condition following the reaper war won't permit her to resume her post as a spectre or as a marine, except in a strategic or advisory capacity.  That doesn't sit well with her.  She feels helpless and like she should be doing more.

seigephoenix replied to your post: I HC that Ellen Ryder is from Texas and when she...

My Marlowe Shepard gives the Council the ol’ “Bless your heart” every chance she gets. Corinne is also a Southern OC. Except she’ll just straight up tell you where to stick it.

I love that so much!

[musicfeedsmysoul12]

If Love and Legends had voice acting, who do you think would be the VAs for the love interests?

I’ve never actually thought about this before. This is an interesting question. Hmmm… well…

jon Curry- Iseul. Jon Curry voiced Zevran in Dragon Age. Someone mentioned Iseul was discount Zevran and I can’t get it out of my head now because I hear Zevran’s voice when I play Isuel but without the accent? And maybe a bit… soft I guess? I’ve always though Isuel had a very nice voice but a very smooth one to.

Corinne Kempa- Altea. Corinne Kempa played Leliana in Dragon Age and given that in DA she’s the equivalent of French and Altea is the equivalent of French… yeah. Though I’m thinking Origins Leliana where she was bubbly and happy. I picture Altea as having a slightly higher voice and maybe she’s more giggly in tone but she’s very sweet.

Jennifer Hale- Helena. Jennifer Hale is one of my favorite voice actors. She voiced Female Shepard from Mass Effect and Krem from Dragon Age. As Shepard I feel she has a smoky sort of tone, like really sultry when she’s flirting and I picture Helena speaking like that.

Mark Meer- Reiner. Mark Meer voices Male Shepard from Mass Effect and it’s a nice deep tone that sounds really nice when he’s flirting. I dunno why but I can totally hear Reiner with his voice.

Tom Taylorson- August. Tom Taylorson voiced Male Ryder from Mass Effect Andromeda. It’s a really nice voice. Quite cheerful and can be serious or silly and it’s a youthful tone. I know that August isn’t really a youth but I’ve always kinda of heard him with a voice like Tom’s that’s… ergh. It’s hard to describe. Like a young but not to young voice? I’m 80% sure August is above 25 (I forget how old he technically is) but I have always felt he’s got a young sounding voice in the beginning. Eh.

Nicholas Boulton- Saerys. Nicholas Boulton plays Reyes in Mass Effect Andromeda and it’s a nice deep voice that’s got the right amount of flirt to it. Saerys (I can’t remember if this is a headcanon or actual canon) has a deep voice that to me is slightly flirty but can be incredibly serious.

As for Alain… I legit don’t know? I usually play video games but I don’t really know of a voice that strikes me as being Alain? Maybe… errrrr Yeah no. If I had to I’d stick him with Cullen’s voice actor from Dragon Age Inquisition. Greg Ellis. I think they would sound similar at the least.

[cursedwithgloriouspurpose]

Tensions run high among the newly reunited Normandy Crew as they leave Earth amid the Reaper Invasion. They set their sights on Mars, where newly discovered Prothean artifacts may hold the key to stopping the Reapers if only the war criminal, the celebrated hero, the jilted lover, and the confused best friend can find a way to bridge the plethora of misunderstandings that have pushed them apart, and learn to be team--or perhaps something more--once again.

shipping meme

@linguini17​ tagged meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

First ship you ever read fic for:  Usagi/Mamoru from Sailor Mooooon.

First ship you ever wrote fic for: Technically I think Rei/Jadeite from Sailor Moon? It was a rather vague fic if I recall. I think the actual first full on shippy fic was Makoto/Nephrite. 

Ship you write the most now: Anne/Phillip from TGS, and always gotta have some Cassandra/Varric from Dragon Age.

Ship you read the most now: I’ve actually been terrible about reading lately, but when I do it’s been mostly CarWheeler. 

Newest ship: Newest to me? G’Kar/Londo from Babylon 5.

Rare ship you wanna read more of: I apparently can only get truly obsessed with smaller fandoms/ships and/or older ones so it always feels like there isn’t ENOUGH CONTENT GOSH YOU GUYS!

Your taboo ship: Hell if I know? I mean depending on who you ask Senshi/Shitennou used to be considered a hot button. Same for Cass/Varric.

They never met in canon ship: I don’t think I have one? Unless we’re talking crossover in which case.... Kaidan Alenko (mass effect) and Felix Gaeta (Battlestar Galactica) and that is Janie’s fault. Plus lots of other brotps. 

Your unexpected ship: G’Kar and Londo is the most recent example. I didn’t care for Londo at first and there was such animosity and THEN THINGS HAPPENED AND NOW I’M DYING SQUIRTLE 

The ship you always forget to give love to: So many. I have a fucking armada of ships, and older things get pushed aside for the new and shiny regularly. 

Ship your OC with a canon character: Well I mean that’s p much what romancing Bioware characters is so...? The most fleshed out for those purposes are Corinne Shepard and Kaidan, Wren Adar and Josephine Montilyet, and I guess Evie Treveylan and Cullen Rutherford. Though Evie wasn’t meant to be a fully fleshed out character.. it just happened.

A ship you’re embarrassed to ship:  I was a little embarrassed to ship Londo/G’Kar at first but I soon got over it. Outside of that.. I have no shame.

Your most romantic ship: I AM A SLUT FOR ROMANCE SO ALL OF THEM BECAUSE I’LL MAKE THEM ROMANTIC IN MY HEAD IF I HAVE TO

Your sexiest ship: Okay now sexiest in the sense I find them both to be so unbelievably pretty I cry a little bit? Or sexy as in they drip UST? Sexy as in they could both stab me and I’d thank them? Like these are all vastly different things and I’m pretty sure I have a ship that covers all possibilities here. 

Your most tragic ship: Alisha and Simon on Misfits. Keyleth and Vax on Critical Role. Aya and Razer on Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Christian and Satine from Moulin Rouge. For someone who usually deals in fluff I have plenty of doomed and tragic ships. It’s gr9 *sobs in a corner*

A ship you want more content for: ALL OF THEM. GIVE IT TO ME I AM GREEDY! 

And I was going to tag people but it’s not letting me? FOR SOME REASON? 

So please steal this if you would like to and tag me back (IF TUMBLR WILL LET YOU!) so I can see what you said okay thanks byE! :D

buckle up yall im going to get sappy. also super ungodly long post under the cut IM SAPPY

– favorite oc.

spencer clarke [the quarry]

i say it a lot but. she is me i am her. like actually, spencer has only been an oc for like a week and she has taken such a tight hold on my brain. I pour a lot of myself into my ocs, but i think spencer is the oc that has really gotten the most. she is the closest to a self insert i think out of all of them, she shares a lot of my behaviors and such. but she is just so fun for me to talk about (im sorry to lori and aj) and figuring her out has been such a blast.

amara owens [infamous: second son]

MISS AMARA CELESTE OWENS. I've had her for as long as i've had the fc5 clowns, or maybe even longer. Amara is an oc that makes me really happy. for a while, i never knew where i wanted to put her; i tried making her a multifandom oc but it just didn't feel right. then i played infamous: second son and it felt like everything just clicked with her. she's one of my most important ocs, no one else have i played the same game 6 times for.

marian ramos de-león [red dead redemption 2]

ms marian is also one of my oldest ocs, she's a little younger than the fc5 clowns, but she's also one of my favorites. she's another really fun character for me to think about. it was so fun to play the game and know exactly where she would be and what she would say. while i haven't done much with her canon or sadie au, making this new, spooky au for her was some of the most fun i've ever had with an oc. using concepts that i've always been a fan of but never really used has been so fun and it all clicks so well with marian

sylvie green [call of duty: modern warfare 2019]

my child whom i share custody of with lori. she has been one of my favorites for almost a year now, another one that has helped me figure out some stuff about myself, and like spencer she truly did grab onto my brain and has not let go. i never thought i'd make an oc for cod, let alone like,,,22 including side characters. half the fun has been getting to bounce ideas off of lori, and sylvie is absolutely one of those ideas. most things about her-- her name, her face, her backstory, even her ship-- are all lori's amazing ideas and i am so happy to have both of them in my life.

honorable mentions: elenore parker, hanan shepard, iseul jeong, corinne sorrell

– newest oc.

spencer clarke [the quarry]

like i said! i've only had spencer for like,,,4 days i think atp. but i love her a lot. with it being summer time here, i started thinking about the quarry again and jacob those that have been here u know i see a himbo i have to make a partner for them and decided it might be fun to make an oc for a horror game for a change! and i'm really happy i did.

jackie castillo [marvel]

more of lori's influence, seeing them talk about Asra and the rest of their marvel ocs made me want to make my own. Jackie is still a bit of a wip, but i love her all the same and i really do need to do some development on her.

blake liu [marvel]

my other marvel girlie. even more of lori's influence. Riri's roommate turned fellow kidnappee turned girlfriend. Asra's adopted daughter. Blake is so many things but everything clicks so well for her. another one i need to develop more, but i am so happy to have her as well.

thalia [assassin's creed: odyssey/origins]

thalia's some kind of phoenix-rising-from-the-ashes deal, but in a like, i scrapped one oc and made her. when i was overhauling Amara, i decided her assassin's creed au didn't really work, but i wanted an oc for odyssey so bad; so enter Thalia. she's one of my more stick in the mud characters but i still love her a lot.

honorable mentions: daphne palmer, silas kane, noah callaghan, andy kwan, rhea dawn

– oldest oc. (also; the favorites pt.2)

elenore parker [far cry 5]

you all knew she'd be here. the blueprint. the very first clown. the batshit insane queen herself. the reason i made this blog. Elle has been through a lot. and i've been through a lot at the same time. she's been there for me as a creative outlet through a lot of bullshit and i am so thankful for her. making her let me deal with some of my own trauma in a way. she's one of the only ocs that i shove into different ships and aus, and every one just works so well for her. she's gotten a bit of an overhaul recently and i'm even more happy with her now.

emily parker [far cry 5]

i can't talk about Elle without Emily. Emily is also a very self inserty character but she's also someone i wish i could be somehow. I don't lean on her as much as i lean on Elle, but i enjoy messing with her every time i do. she's an older oc, but there's still things that are up in the air about her namely if i will ever commit to shipping her with Wheaty.

margo seed [far cry 5]

Margaret Elizabeth Seed, the only oc i have argued with someone about. she was the very first ship kid, such a commanding presence; ever since making her it almost felt like she made herself if that made sense? another one that things just really clicked with; she's also my first aroace oc, and that has become very important to me. she stands on her own, she's another one that i want to be like when i grow up.

daniel seed [far cry 5]

the second ship kid. Daniel almost didn't exist, but i decided Margo could benefit from a narrative foil of sorts. he was a bit of a hassle, he was my first male oc and as such i couldn't land on a face claim for the longest time which was really frustrating for me. he and Margo are both such fun characters to write for, i love how i've managed to make them so similar and so different at the same time.

warren armstrong [far cry 5]

Warren was made at the same time, or close to the same time, as Daniel. he's the first oc that I have actually come up with a family for though, and that has become somewhat of a trend because of him. Warren took a second to really figure out, but he fits in so well with the twins and their shenanigans once i did. I don't talk about him nearly as much as i should, but he is also one of my favorites.

honorable mentions: fern solace, ashlee burrell, katherine boyer, judith burch, kennedy ryder, amara owens

– meanest oc.

ines cousland [dragon age origins]

I have a lot of violent or manipulative ocs (i think, at least), but none of them are on the level that Ines is. Ines walks around with a sort of chip on her shoulder about the world she lives in. she's composed and calculating and power hungry. she makes a lot of cruel and sort of impulsive decisions as a warden, but she is always one step ahead of those that challenge her. she knows she has enemies and she will stop at nothing to ruin their lives just for the fun of it. she's also incredibly ambitious as well; she wanted to be one of, if not the most, powerful people in Thedas, and she would stop at nothing to get herself there.

rhea dawn [fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood]

Rhea is not nearly as malicious as Ines is but she has her moments. she's not technically a villain, but she's also not really going out of her way to help the heroes either. she's never really had any second thoughts about her actions, she will take her own side before anyone else's. she knows she's one of the most powerful alchemists in the world, and if that inspires some fear then so be it.

levi choi [call of duty: modern warfare 2019]

he has to be here, but he's not really that mean compared to the two above. Levi's that friend that is always brutally honest, the one that you just want to fight sometimes because of it. he's not afraid to say what he thinks, he never writes a check that his ass can't cash, and you will hear about it if you piss him or his friends off.

honorable mentions: raina hawke, scott ryder, morgan brooks, noah callaghan, althea elowen, minerva siobhan, katherine boyer, shannon turner

– softest oc.

melanie vargas [the last of us]

Mel is another oc that got somewhat of an overhaul. when hbo tlou came out, i decided i didn't like the direction i went with her, so i scrapped it and started over. she turned out a lot softer this time, being reworked to be one of the friendliest faces of Jackson now. she is a bit more of a background character now because of her role in the universe, but i think that works out better for her.

amara owens [infamous: second son]

my favorite daughter here once again. Amara is one of the softer characters in the main cast of second son but that's not to say she's a pushover either. she would do anything for her friends, she would give anything to help a stranger. she's just one of those ocs that radiates a lot of positive energy and light.

kennedy ryder [mass effect: andromeda]

another one that's soft but is not a pushover. Kennedy would do anything to help anyone in need, but she will not let her kindness be taken advantage of by anyone. she's seen a lot, she's been through a lot, but she doesn't let it get to her. she's also the resident optimist of the gang, which can be a blessing and a curse.

nettie hayes [red dead redemption 2]

nettie, however, is too soft for her own good. maybe. she's the most optimistic oc of mine, always has her rose colored glasses on. in her mind, her world is a lot more idyllic than it is. she is a bit of a pushover as well; she can recognize when she's being screwed over but she won't do anything about it. she wears her heart on her sleeve and is probably the most sensitive of my ocs

honorable mentions: veris lavellan, bea morgan, daphne palmer, taylor ross, daniel seed

– most aloof/standofish oc.

arden [potion permit]

she's quiet, she keeps to herself, she doesn't say much. Arden's not like this because of something that's happened to her, i think you could say; moreso, it's her line of work that made her like this. Arden tries to not get attached because she knows most people she deals with will only be in her life a short period of time. most people, not all of them.

honorable mentions: rhea dawn, spencer clarke, thalia, katherine boyer, ines cousland, nadine hayek

– dumbest (affectionate) oc.

veris lavellan [dragon age: inquisition]

Veris Rila, my first inquisitor, one of the dimmest lightbulbs in my chandler but she still shines. she is the very definition of 'just trying her best.' she's smart in her own way, one that does not make sense to anyone but herself. she's also impulsive, almost out of spite at this point.

honorable mentions: daniel seed, margo seed, blythe trevelyan, silas kane

– smartest oc.

gwen khoury [uncharted]

Dr. Gwendolyn Mila Khoury, Ph.D. Gwen learns shit just for the fun of it honestly, and she will spout off if given the chance. she is incredibly, and sometimes annoyingly, curious. Gwen will pick up a new language or skill just to learn something new.

hanan shepard [mass effect]

another knowledge sponge, Hanan loves to learn about anything she can get her hands on. ship engineering, biotics, alien languages-- Hanan will find something new to learn whenever she can. and she will not hesitate to info dump on the nearest person.

andy kwan [tomb raider]

Andy! another incredibly bright mind. she's working on her masters in ecosystems ecology for much of the tomb raider shenanigans, and she uses these trips for her own personal research. she's not quite on the 'learning something new just for shits and gigs,' but that does not stop her from constantly taking in some knowledge somehow

I won the Patreon 'thing' (can't say the forbidden word here) from @artsyblacksheep! I asked for my babe Corinne Shepard and boy did Kit deliver! I am stunned by how good she looks! Now I must include a scene in the fic where Corinne wears a suit.

Thank you again!!! I can't scream enough about how much I love this!!

Thank you to everyone who helped Team Brown (Trench)Coats complete 204 tasks in a week!

One can only play GISH with the help of family, friends, and kind strangers! We are grateful to everyone who joined in on a challenge, helped us locate an obscure item, helped us brainstorm how to find something, joined us in large group endeavours like the “I Will Vote” challenge, and generally took time to help us meet our crazy goal of completing as many challenges as we possibly could (and doing them well)!

When you look through our gallery of photos and images, please remember that it took at least a village to get these done!

We want to thank:
