#javik x zaeed

[illusivesoul]

Wrote a short Javik/Zaeed smut fic for a prompt of a discord server I'm in.

.

2 Old Soldiers

Rating: Explicit

Words: 1150

Summary: Zaeed breaks Javik's 50 thousand year old dry spell.

Read it on AO3

.

A wave of light breached the darkness of the room as the two stumbled into it, the sounds of the party receding into the distance as the world of the two men was reduced to each other.

"Goddamn it" Zaeed said between heavy breaths as Javik's bristled tongue went along his neck, tracing the many scars on his skin with it as the prothean's sharped teeth pulled softly at his ear while tightly gripping his ass. With a few quick moves, the mercenary's yellow armour laid on the floor. Zaeed wondered for a moment how the prothean seemed to know how to remove an armour so quickly, but that thought quickly faded away as he found himself pressed against the wall, and after having his arms placed together above his head by Javik, he felt a surge of energy weaving around his skin.

Looking up, he saw the biotic energy wrapping itself around his wrists in circles, its shape making him think of the handcuffs of old he had seen in videos. Giving them a quick tug, he realized the biotics kept his arm tightly in place above his head.

"Hadn't seen green biotics before" the merc uttered "Wonder what else of yours is green"

The prothean gave him a wicked look as he kneeled, the way those four yellow glowing eyes focused on him making the erection between Zaeed's legs get even stronger.

Pulling down the older man's pants, the prothean looked at his underwear as he smiled, noticing the small point of wetness in it "Interesting. Undergarments that have the posterior part removed"

"They're called jockstraps. I'd love to explain all about them to you, but could you please give me some goddamn head first?"

"As you wish"

The prothean's teasing tone built up the excitement in Zaeed. As he pulled down the underwear, the mercenary swallowed hard as he saw Javik's purple tongue slowly come out of his mouth. He wondered if the bristles in it would feel painful against his skin, but the first lick that wiped away the drop of precum rolling down his throbbing cock made all his doubts dissapear as his eyes closed and a deep breath left his lips. The alien's tongue and lips wrapped softly around his erection, the old man rolling his hips as he thrusted almost unconsciously into Javik's mouth. The alien took deep breaths against the mercenary's skin as he moved his head up and down, taking all of it deep inside his mouth.

"Fuck, that's good"

Javik's mouth parted from his cock with a loud popping sound, placing it against his face as he moved his tongue up and down the lenght of it, his hands cupping his balls and teasing the space between his cock and ass.

"Your smell is a delight, human. Your pheromones tell more than you know"

Zaeed felt the sweat rolling down his neck. He wanted to grab the prothean's head and press it against him, desperate to get release and let go of the pressure he felt, all while wondering how the top of his head would feel as he used it as support to thrust into his mouth. But a sharp bolt from the biotic handcuffs wrapped around his hand stopped him.

Javik smiled as he gave one final lick to the throbbing cock as he stood.

"Why the bloody hell did you stop?" The mercenary uttered as he opened his eyes, his voice filled with a mix of wanton and anger.

The prothean moved himself closer to Zaeed. He moved his head forward, eager to taste Javik's lips once more, lips glistening with his own precome. But the prothean moved his head back playfully, smiling before shooting out his tongue and running it quickly amongst the mercenary's lips, enjoying the grunt of frustration that came from the man.

"The teasing is over, human. I believe this will ensure our mutual satisfaction"

Zaeed looked down as the prothean moved his hand to his armour, and after a few touches, the lower half of it fell to the floor.

"Fucking hell"

Zaeed stared in awe at the sight of Javik's cock. He was no stranger to alien dicks. Turians, krogan, batarian, drell. All had their unique sensations, their unique texture, their unique tastes. But as he stared at the purple, girthy, wet and completely smooth dick before him, he knew this would be like nothing he had ever dealt with before.

"Another time"

"Another time what?" Zaeed replied.

"You're wondering how it would feel inside you"

"How did you…"

"Your pheromones. And the way the muscles in your leg tightened. Now…"

Javik pressed his cock against Zaeed's, the old man letting out a series of curses in quick succession as the sensation washed over him "Let's go"

The prothean's mouth crashed against Zaeed, the mercenary tasting himself on the prothean's tongue as the alien wrapped his hand around both their cocks, and started moving it up and down their lenghts in quick but powerful movements. Zaeed moaned as biotic energy seemed to emerge from the prothean's cock itself, wrapping itself around both of the dicks, the electrifiying yet pleasurable sensation sending shivers up and down his spine. The skin around his hands ached as he uncounsciously pulled against the biotic handcuffs, his whole body moving forward, desperate to press himself as much as he could against the prothean.

The cocks moved against each other almost in perfect synchronicity, joined in a perfect union that matched each other so well.

Javik parted from Javik's lips to once more moved his hand at the man's neck, tasting his sweat as he bit the skin all while his free hand tightly grabbed the mercenary's ass, kneading the cheeks with a strong grip.

After a few moments, Zaeed's breaths and Javik's huffed moans drew faster and faster, and no words were needed for them to realize their climax was at hand, and they gave into it with the same fire and frenzy that they had had since their mouths first landed on each other's.

Their first burst of come shot upwards, the rest dripping and covering each other's throbbing cocks from each pump that came out of them.

The two men stood in silence as their orgasm receded, breathing into each other as half kisses and playful tongues slowly gave in to each other, a moment of calm and peace that neither of those old warriours had the privilege of enjoying ofter. As the biotic handcuffs disipated and both their hands softly went along each other's bodies, they knew the rarity of the moment, and embraced each other with a silent promise for more, a promise to survive the coming fight, a promise to finally get to live with someone. 2 old soldiers who for the first time found themselves looking forward to a world after the battles and wars that had defined their lives.

OUTDATED POST

Last updated 8/18/23, please check the bracket posts for the most up-to-date competitor list.

Sorted alphabetically by game for easy searching.

These are (almost) all of the bracket participants! There are a few who are still up in the air. Please do not get upset with me if your blorbo did not qualify; I did my best to research each game I was unfamiliar with. The most common reason for a character to be disqualified was being from a game without any romance at all.

Note that some of these may be removed, as my attempts at research may not have been sufficient.

Hi! For the rarepair bingo meme: Ashley x Samantha Kaidan x Cortez Zaeed x Javik

Ash x Samantha

Kaidan x Cortez

Zaeed x Javik

[dr-ladybird]

Javiklets?

You know... if you don't want Javik to be the last of his kind, why not assume Protheans reproduce like asari? Do we have any evidence they don't?

Maybe Javik can get pregnant any time he wants by doing something undignified with a primitive

and once the war's over and he's figuring out wtf to do with himself now, he decides to have a bunch of kids

and all the kids can reproduce with random aliens, so there are no concerns about limited gene pools

...I feel like Shepard, Liara and possibly Zaeed are first in line to help out with the DNA

[heavenlyeros]

primitive river

ko-fi || commissions

[crescentbunny]

I am going to throw in some Javik/Femshep, Kal'Reegar/Femshep or Zaeed/Femshep. I don't have any particular recs but I would love to see more of these pairings! So, feel free to get creative.

Roger that Anon! Thanks for letting me know what you’d like to see.

[amassingeffect]

Major Persaud’s ‘simple mission’ had been anything fucking but: getting supplies to the Resistance back on Earth. On the upside, at least the arsehole had been upfront. There was a very high chance that this was a one-way trip. With no guarantee of an extraction window, who knew how long they’d be stuck on Earth.

[forlornmelody]

1, 7 and 14 for the salty asks :)

1) What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?*

I don’t get most of the Javik-centric pairings. He’s not the romantic type, and I feel like you’d have to really stretch canon to make it seemed like he was sweet on anyone. Unless he goes through a MAJOR change after the war, any relationship he’s in will probably be full of emotional abuse. 

7) Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?*

This fandom’s been pretty good to me. I have blacklisted Garrus tags on AO3 because certain Shakarian shippers think it’s cute to bash Kaidan. 

14) Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

I don’t mind Thane dying in ME3. I mind how quickly it happens and and how quickly the crew moves on, but I find it unrealistic that someone would find a cure for Kepral Syndrome that fast, especially since Drell are a minority in Citadel space. There just wouldn’t be enough funding, especially in the middle of a war. I love Thane, don’t get me wrong. But I’ve lost a family member to CF, and while medical science helps CF patients live longer these days, it still hasn’t cured Cystic Fibrosis.

[astorythatwritesitself]

Fandoms

Taking a break from characters to give a rundown of fandoms I like to dabble in & any ships! List is subject to change, and is far from all I'm into- these are just the things I most engage with in a fannish way.

💭 - ready supply of headcanons

📓 - can always request in writing prompt games

🌟 - A Fave

It's gonna get Long.

Shows:

Hellsing Ultimate

💭 📓 🌟🌟🌟

Have seen: the OVA, read about half the manga, Crossfire included.

Will answer ship prompts for: Alucard x Integra, Seras x Pip, Heinkel x Yumie.

Heinkel and Anderson are the ones I probably have the most thoughts on, but I'll answer for anyone except Millennium members (aside from Walter).

One Piece

💭

Have seen: Dub up to... early 600s? Vegapunk island, bodyswap just happened. Several movies.

Will answer ship prompts for: Robin x Franky

Can most reliably come up with stuff for the main Straw Hat crew, fun gen stuff but I doubt I'll be doing much that's involved.

Fairy Tail

💭, maybe 📓

Have seen: Entire dub, both movies; read Rhodonite.

Will answer ship prompts for: Gajeel x Levy

Look I'll level. I'm here for Gajeel, Levy, and occasionally Juvia for some reason. FT falls deeply into 'canon is a polite suggestion' territory ok.

The Owl House

💭

Have seen: Seasons 1 & 2

Might be able to get me to answer stuff for Eda x Raine but I'm mostly here for gen stuff.

Sailor Moon

💭📓🌟

Have seen: oh god it's so piecemeal. Most knowledge comes from the manga up through about Dead Moon Circus and original run (sub & Viz re-dub) up through roughly Chibiusa's introduction.

Will answer ship prompts for: Mako x Ami, maybe Haruka x Michiru x Setsuna.

Honestly this one's been so very headcanon fueled & canon is a very, very loose suggestion xD

Steven Universe

💭📓🌟

Have seen: Original run & movie. (Never quite got around to Future)

Will answer ship prompts for: Amethyst x Pearl, Lapis x Peridot; virtually any gem x gem combo tbh.

It's definitely died down but I've still got a bit of a soft spot, y'know?

The Clone Wars + The Bad Batch

💭

Have seen: Full run of TCW, S1 of TBB

Will answer ship prompts for: Hondo & Cad Bane is the only valid Star Wars pairing

Ok no though for real I just don't really have any ships here, but it's definitely fun poking at little headcanons.

Video games:

Mass Effect

💭📓🌟🌟🌟🌟

Have Played: Vanilla trilogy (no DLC events or squadmates (Kasumi, Zaeed and Javik) will factor in to my work), read all 3 novels. It's been a while since I've played, so some finer details may be missing!

Will answer ship prompts for: Shepard x Thane, Shepard x Garrus, Garrus x Tali, Joker x EDI

Mass Effect is not a fandom. Mass Effect burrows into your fuckin soul and never lets go. Rundown of my Shepard can be found here. As far as hcs/games go, I will answer for most Normandy crew.

Final Fantasy

Have played: VII, X, X-2, XII (it's been a little while though)

💭📓🌟 (primarily X-2 & XII)

Will answer ship prompts for: Cloud x Tifa, Balthier x Fran. (& ask me about the Crimson Polysphere lol)

Favorites are Paine & Balthier

Pokemon

Have played: All main series games up through US/UM, working knowledge of Indigo League anime & first 5 movies.

💭📓🌟

Games only. Outlines & characters are derived from playthroughs- not quite nuzlockes, but similar vibe; canon NPCs are altered as fits the story. Trainer rundowns & outlines can be found -here when made-

Half Life 2 + Portal

Have played: Half Life 2 & episodes 1 & 2, Portal, Portal 2

💭

Will answer ship prompts for: Gordon x Alyx, Chell x GLaDOS

Strong come & go love for these, like I'll get Going once I get warmed up but it takes a bit.

Books

A Series of Unfortunate Events

💭

Have read: 13 books + Unauthorized, original movie & Netflix series.

Not a huge one, but it's fun to poke at now and again.

A Song of Ice and Fire

💭📓🌟

Have Read: All 5 books and chunks of The World of Ice And Fire.

Will answer ship prompts for: Brienne x Jaime.

Will write for most Starks, everyone else is kinda case by case. Currently in a bit of a lull but this one comes back Hard.

Xenofiction Hell Corner

💭

Warrior Cats up to TPoT, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Wings of Fire

Honestly these are more about the world & OC tinkering, but if you have a burning desire to hear thoughts on canon characters/ships, go nuts?? I guess?

I'm more embarrassed about these than ASOIAF honestly.

[illusivesoul]

For Mass Effect ask

🧡 - Favorite non-Shepard pairings? Why do you love this/those pairing(s)?

Thanks for the ask :) Oh, I could go on all day about these. These are just the ones that I can remember at this moment, to not make this overly long lol: Jack x Kahlee Sanders Edi x Samantha Javik x Zaeed Dr Michel x Dr Chakwas Gabriella Daniels x Samantha Grunt x a male krogan oc im making up for him Liara x Tela Vasir Samantha x Ashley Kaidan x Steve Jack x Aria Ashley x Pennyloafer (Shes a character from the comic Ashley is in)

[dalekofchaos]

I know the Legendary Edition is not a remake. But there is a slight bit of hope that there will be some changes made. Here is what I’d like to hopefully see changed in the Legendary Edition

ME1

Give us Spectre Armor. We have Spectre like weapons, so armor would be good. Although I will still settle for Colossus  X

On the Cerberus levels, let the Cerberus troopers have Cerberus Assault Armor and give us a Cerberus officer or scientist to face with dialogue

ME2

After accessing the M-44 Hammerhead and completing the Firewalker pack, we’ll get to explore planets and mission with the Hammerhead

Give us the option to remove Jack and Thane’s shades in the Alternate Appearance pack

ME3

Ashley keeps her hair in a bun. Her casual outfit is the typical Alliance Crewman uniform Shepard starts out with. Ashley’s default armor is the Phoenix armor and her alternate armors are any full body armor. Ashley is not Miranda, she did not need to wear less and less hair. Ashley would only let her hair down in the romance scene. Also give Ashley more interactions on The Normandy. Ashley should have crew moments with Joker, Adams, Ashley at the monument mourning those who died with the original Normandy, Liara, Tali and Garrus.

We would see Tali’s face on Rannoch. When she unmasks we actually see it. Oh and if we romance Tali we get to see her face again in the romance scene. 

Michael Beattie voices Mordin

Give us a James and Javik romance. Femshep and James flirting was great and I was disappointed that Shega fans were deprived of a romance and instead given a terrible one night stand that comes off as date rape. Shepard and Javik are kindred spirits and they did nothing with them. Maybe start off a romance after the memory shard scene. If Javik activates it, Femshep will hold his hand and Javik is moved by this and it is the start of Shavik!

No blinking Thane

Keep Kelly Chambers as she looked in ME2

Liara says Jack’s full name

Better romances for the ME 2 Squad romances. No cut to black shit. Give us a build up. We make out and it looks like we are about to get in bed and then cut to black. Jack, Miranda, Garrus and Tali deserved better. For example. Jack clears out Purgatory and Shepard and Jack has the romance scene in the bar. Miranda, same as we got but in more time before cutting to black. We see Tali’s face before she pounces on us. More tender moments with Garrus before cutting to black.

Make Miranda and Jack Squad members. I don’t see why not. Taking away Miranda from the squad was one of the dumbest decisions of the game. Jack could’ve coordinated her students from the Normandy while still helping Shepard out. 

Add the ME2 squad members to the Citadel DLC story. Again, why? Why wasn’t Jack, Miranda, Grunt, Samara, Jacob, and Kasumi not added? I understand that the voice actor for Zaeed died, so there is no chance of Zaeed being added. But why not REALLY making it feel like Team Hammerhead by actually adding the ME2 Squad members to the Citadel DLC before the party?

Give more context to the ending or at the very least explain it’s due to dark energy, not AI and organics and explain that EDI could be rebooted and the Geth could be rebuilt.

Actually show our War assets at work and in the ending show us the affects of our choices instead of a slideshow. I want to see how we improved or hurt the galaxy.

[zet-sway]

I, M, S, U?

HEY I'm so sorry to make you wait like 34 years for a response on this lmao the last two weeks have been utterly draining. I actually slept like 16 hours today or something SHEESH.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

I've tried a variety of ships this year - including Shepard x Miranda, Ashley, Liara, Zaeed, James, Kaidan, various OCs, and of course Garrus. I've even read fics about cloneshep too.

But out of those, shakarian is the one I bookmark the most lmao

And in the spirit of honesty - I gravitate toward shakarian angst lmao

See, I'm very attached to Shepard. I love to see the different ways people write her. Femshep is close to my heart because I'm a woman and I work in a male-dominated field. Femshep is respected in a way I want to be. I feel like Garrus - romanced or not - gives her that respect and deep companionship without overly idol worshipping her. He has a lighthearted manner of speaking while also being able to talk about serious topics. He really is a cool dude.

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

Uhhhh a few. I wrote a renegade Shepard fic that might transition into big time angst. I have a bunch of scattered WIPs I can't fucking keep track of.

I'm still thinking about that chaptered fic

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

I live in this completely irrational headspace where I feel like I'm committing a crime if I specifically write a trope. My stupid oppositional brain thinks tropes are something to be dodged rather than embraced. Help me I don't understand tropes at all.

Pining

Lmao

U: A pairing you might like to write for, but haven’t tried yet.

This is a great question. I definitely should write Shepard/Irikah because two sihas together? Yes omg.

I think I might also like to write Shepard x Zaeed, or Shepard x Javik. I'm not making any promises though. My writing muse is a fickle thing.

Thank you so much for the ask!!!

[pathfinderlittleduck]

Mass Effect Tag

With all the discourse on Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, let's spread some positive vibes by remembering what we love about the trilogy. Fill in and tag your friends. Feel free to add your own categories to this survey.

Thank you @weird-aunt for the tag!! You’re the best and I care about you and your continued support to help me through school will never go unnoticed, it is something I admire about you!!

I tag @becauseanders and also well anyone else.

I am a fan since: I started Dragon Age on NYE 2014, and kind of followed Mass Effect gamers a little before that. They kept recommending it to me but I felt weird about an RPG in space. Eventually I got around to playing the trilogy for the first time in January of 2016.

Favorite game of the series?: Don’t make me chooooooossseeeee...... Mass Effect 3.

There’s a certain emotional rawness that really grips at me, and that really has me relate to the core plot line of the game. I love 2 a lot, but I think overall I love 3 a lot more.

MShep or FShep?: I play both equally. My canon Shepard is MShep, and my AU Shepard is (f)Shep.

Earthborn, Colonist, or Spacer: Earthborn is my favorite because it kinda fits to how I felt growing up. Sure I had “parents” but they weren’t great people. So as I grew up and moved out, I felt on my own a lot because of how they act towards me and about me.

Spacer is a close second. Talking about Shepard’s mom in 3 during the Citadel DLC and asking Hackett about her tugs the heartstrings...

Biotics or Tech: Ok I am torn here. My canon Shepards are always Infiltrators. But even so, I rarely use tech abilities. Mostly in 2/3, but not a lot. I do love Vanguard a lot, but not getting Sniper Rifle training until the collector ship in 2, always bugs me... just give me a sniper rifle and biotics (at the beginning) you cowards!! lmfao

I do prefer Biotics in Andromeda a lot more though.

Paragon or Renegade: Renegade for life bitches!! Except when talking to Cortez and/or the romance option.

Do you have an AU?: Yes! I never ended up writing the long fic for it, but it’s called Powerless. It follows my (extreme) canon divergent AU Shepard, Alessa; and her descent through addiction and PTSD, her relationship with Bailey, her dishonorable discharge, and forgiving the crew member who’s report eventually lead to her discharge. Also her friendship with Garrus and meeting two Turian OCs I have too!!

Favorite Class?: Infiltrator first as my canon, then Vanguard for any other non canon Shepard.

Favorite Companion: CORTEZ. “But Viktor, he’s not a comp-.” CORTEZ IS MY FAVORITE COMPANION. HE IS MY PILOT AND MY BOYFRIEND.

Least Favorite Companion: In terms of personality? Liara. I admire her at times sure and she has some good in her, but I think BioWare did her kinda dirty so as a result I don’t like how she was written.

In terms of squad selection? Anyone who doesn’t have biotics or tech specialties. I use biotics and tech a lot more than just weapons so I usually just go full on into tech and biotic specialist while I handle weapons.

My Squad Selection:

Mass Effect 1 - Garrus, Kaidan

Mass Effect 2 - Zaeed, Garrus | Jack, Garrus | Kasumi, Jack

Mass Effect 3 - Kaidan, Garrus | Javik, Kaidan | Javik, Vega (specifically for Priority London)

Favorite In-game Romance: CORTEZ OR GO HOME. TEAM HAMMERHEAD HUSBANDS!!

Other pairings I like: Shenko, Shakarian, basically all of them ngl (except Shepard/Vega, that’s a nOTP for me).

Favorite NPC: BAAAIIIIIIIILLLLEEEYYYYYY

Favorite Antagonist: Shepard Clone

Favorite Mission: Priority Earth (London), hands down | DLC: Leviathan, but the part where you are flying off world and the romance in the party fusses over you as you wake up.

Favorite Loyalty Mission: Eye for an Eye. Because I don’t care what the fandom says, I will 100000% always let Garrus shoot Sidonis.

Favorite DLC: Leviathan, it gave a REALLY good look into the background of the Reapers.

Control, Synthesis or Destroy: Destroy. All day every day. The only non Destroy endings I got were my first ever run of the Trilogy and I selected Refuse. And my non canon Shepards choose Control. I also have a really heartbreaking gif set of my Kathryn J Shepard x Garrus during a Control ending here

Favorite Weapon: Black Widow, the really expensive one.

Favorite Place: Is it too NSFT to say Bailey’s bed?? Or Cortez’s bed??

A quote(s) I like:

This is where I belong...  - Javik, Priority Earth

Don’t argue, Garrus. - Shepard | We’re in this ‘til the end... - Garrus, Priority Earth

I can still fight, just give me my gun. - James, Priority Earth

Don’t leave me behind... - Kaidan, Priority Earth

Damn it, I can do this! - Ashley, Priority Earth

You’re not leaving me behind... - Liara, Priority Earth

I can’t stay behind. - Tali, Priority Earth

The backup... systems. I can initiate repairs. - EDI, Priority Earth

[omegastation]

COMING UP WITH A LIST OF MASS EFFECT TAGS

There are different categories of content with a list of potential tags the Mass Effect trilogy and Mass Effect Andromeda fandom already uses. The goal of this post is to find the most popular tag used by the fandom to facilitate posting for content creators. 

If there is already a common popular tag in place like (CharacterA x CharacterB) we don't need to come up with a pairing name such as "beautiful lilac from the clouds", right? But if there is such a pairing name being used as a tag, we need to know...  Sometimes it’s the opposite. We have a pairing name but it's not the one used for the ship's content tag... In that case, we need to know the tag, that’s our priority.

I'm counting on all your help: you can reply, reblog and correct/confirm/suggest.

Once I get all the suggestions, confirmations and corrections, I'm going to make an official post and link it to the Mass Effect Resource Hub.

In case some of you wonder: I'm not going to impose any tags here, I'm on a collecting mission.
