I booted up shep to play shattered space since she’s a high level and I am not doing well at not being distracted.

Picking random numbers out of a hat for Shepard asks:
Give me 4, 17, 27, and 34! I have no idea what these numbers correspond to! It'll be a fun little surprise for me.
thanks for the ask daisy <333
4. Shepard wakes up in an alternate universe. What tips them off?
-> Completely depends on what alternate universe we're talking about, but generally, probably the lack of impending doom. Now I'm tempted to rotate around the idea of a no-reapers au and how that would go with him...
17. Have they done any interviews? How did the first one go? And the most recent?
-> As far as job interviews, no. Sylvan was born on Mindoir with a fairly typical colonist background prior to the slaver raid when he was 16. His family owned a ranch, so he has a long history of hard labor growing up. He got picked up by the Alliance after and was practically inducted in; since then, he's worked his way through the ranks.
He only really got political/news interviews after his survival on Akuze, and even then, thankfully, there were few. Official Alliance channels and media people broadcasted the award ceremony, and his very first interview was the night of. The reporter and outlet had strong ties to Terra Firma, and made a strong attempt to pry into Shepard's past on Mindoir rather than focus on the politics behind the attack on Akuze. Now, Sylvan's plenty polite when he wants to be, his parents raised him right and good.
But they also didn't raise a damned doormat.
To say the interview went poorly would be. Accurate. He uh. Walked out about halfway through because it's difficult to interview a war survivor facing you dead in the eye and saying nothing. Also doesn't help that he has the most unnerving damned eyes, even before Lazarus. A little too green. A little too wide when he's staring, like he's looking right through you.
His track record's been similar since. He's got a simple policy of 'respect for respect' when it comes to dealing with the media, and he will gentle parent the hell out of a leading question. 'Now, you didn't mean to ask me that question like that. Let's try it again.' Generally, the only people that get away with talking down to him are the Council, and even then, not for very long.
27. The last time they were rude to someone:
-> Today. It was Garrus in the airlock. He probably poked fun at how Shepard broke a couple fingers biotic-charging a krogan because he didn't wait for his shotgun to cool down. In other news, Shepard also punched a turian today (it did not fix his broken fingers).
It's okay, he knows he loves him. This is how men flirt(?)
34. What was Jack’s first impression of shepard? And now?
-> Jack's first impression of Shepard? Easy. She thought he was a pussy because of how he handled Kuril, and reckless for how he handled the aftermath. The recklessness she respected. Miranda viewed it as a stupid risk, which only further cemented that. After her acquisition mission on Purgatory, he was straight up with her and gave her full access to the files she wanted. At that point, she was convinced he had some underlying motive, was trying to get in her head, get her to lower her defenses. That continued for a long time, not helped by his tendency to try to get to know his crew. He would ask questions, she would push back, and he would nod or call her out on it, either way seemingly satisfied by her non-answer, which infuriated the hell out her. It got her to open up more, just trying to figure him out.
Something shifted when he agreed to take her to Pragia. He brought along Garrus, and by that point, Jack had been on enough missions with the two of them to understand how they operated--the banter, the old in-jokes between them, the quick-action tactical commentary as they watched one another's backs. But, while Garrus responded occasionally to her commentary and narration walking through the old facility, clearly sympathetic to her situation and comfortable enough letting her express her anger, Shepard was content to stay mostly silent.
And he told her, it was more a suggestion than anything else, when she finally had a gun on Aresh, "Let him go down with the ship. You don't have to choose for him."
When she activated the detonator on the shuttle, that was when it clicked. There was no motive. He wanted to see what she'd do. Not because he saw her as an object or as an asset or a liability, but because she was a person on his ship, and he'd be damned if he didn't give her the closure she asked for before plotting a course to hell. He didn't think he knew better for her--he wanted to give her options he never had.
She looked further into his past. She asked him about Mindoir. She asked him about Akuze. By the time they met each other while she was teaching at Grissom, she asked him about Garrus and told him, "If you two haven't fucked each other already, then I owe Cerberus' favorite sex symbol more credits than these kids' parents pay me a year. Put his spiky ass in a wedding dress and get it over with already."

mass effect au: sports coach
During the nightmare on Akuze, N7 Mercy Shepard hears of a name--Cerberus. In the aftermath, Shepard joins Alliance Intelligence to lead the hunt for the terrorist group. Lately, children have been going missing from certain schools across the Citadel. Their next mission? Placed undercover at Presidium Academy as the new middle school coach
Nihlus, the high school coach, has never seen such a consistent turnout of parents to not just the games, but the practices too
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ART BY ‼️🔥 @naarisz 🔥‼️
canon, crime lord, white collar
fic under the cut!
When James makes it to the park to meet his commander, someone has beaten him.
“I hope to see you around more, coach,” says a quarian that he is nearly very certain is Admiral Shala’Raan. He’d never forget that throaty voice.
“Please,” Mercy says, dimpling. “The kids call me coach. I’m just Mercy to you.” 
“Mercy,” she purrs, it’s insane, really. She gives James lingering once-over as well. “I see someone wants your attention.”
It feels nice, how much they perk up when they notice him.
“James!” They greet, and sling an arm around his shoulders. It takes a lot to make him feel short, and Mercy does it easily and comfortably. “This is James. He’s the coach at Citadel Institute.”
Shala’Raan nods at him, and turns back to Shepard. “I look forward to Tali’s next game.”
“See you then, Admiral,” they reply with a smile.
“Bro, are you serious,” James hisses, uncertain if he’s about to shake his commander like a ramen seasoning packet, or continue gaping after the outrageous set of hips on the quarian aunty swaying off the sports field.
“You should come to one of my practices sometime,” Mercy laughs. “I think there are more parents than kids.”
James believes it, oh boy does he believe it, as Mercy stands in front of him gleaming like a shiny trophy under the floodlights. Being out in the artificial sun has darkened their skin and the freckles have multiplied. They’ve been growing their hair out for this role—brightening into a surfer blonde, and waving thickly to their shoulders.
He’s not even going to comment on their silky little shorts.
“I’ve got my own practices, remember?” James says. “But let’s switch schools, hey? You’ve got the one with all the hot parents.”
Mercy opens their mouth to respond, when James notices Dr. Solus and Dr. Chakwas escorting Jack.
They dart from his side, and runs for her. 
With a holler, they slide to their knees in time for Jack to fling her arms around their neck for a hug.
The two clutch at each other, and Jack looks incredibly tiny in Mercy’s big hands. 
Abruptly Mercy stands, bringing Jack with them. They hold her out by the armpits, with their long arms fully extended to beam up at her, like some Lion King shit—and then swings her around. 
Jack shrieks with delight. 
Some pebbles and bugs rise from the grass in little blue bubbles. 
Mercy guides her into some simple stretches as Jack babbles about her week with the doctors. They correct her form easily, and well, it’s a lot to see such a big body be so flexible. 
He watches as Mercy leads Jack into running a lap together, admiring his commander’s easy loping athleticism. Jack laughs, giggling and tripping a little when they hoot out with joy and starts running circles around her with the ball.
Every time Jack laughs, it’s like a sip of good, cold beer with a fat slice of lime after a hard workout. The first time they finally got that kid to warm up and crack a smile, was also the first time James saw his commander cry.
The pair passes the ball between each other, Jack copying Mercy’s increasingly elaborate tricks sometimes so seriously she locks up rather than be loose—but she’s improved a lot since that last time James saw the kid. 
“Shepard would do well in this career,” Dr. Solus says, as they watch Mercy divebomb Jack with a shout and scoop her up. “If chose to retire from intelligence. Is very good with children.”
And his commander does look right, as they jog up to James and the doctors with Jack sitting on their shoulders. Their hands wrap around the kid’s chubby shins entirely. 
“Time for nachos, yes?” Dr. Solus says, and briskly taps his fingers together 
“Nachos, nachos!” Jack chants, Mercy quickly joining in and bouncing.  
“That can’t be the only thing for dinner,” Dr. Chakwas says, smiling too much to pull off stern. “What else?”
“Mangonadas!” Jack hollers, grabbing fistfuls of Mercy’s hair, which they gamely accept with a wince. 
“Tamales!” She leans down and shouts into their ear. 
His commander has turned down their hearing aid in time, judging by their serene expression. 
“Which ones, mija,” James asks. Is this paternal pride? He would lay the world down at this kid’s feet. “¿Cuáles quieres?”
“De rajas,” Jack says with relish, nailing the accent. “Con queso.”
“I like the ones with raisins,” Mercy hums.
“We’ll get those too,” Jack reassures them, patting their cheeks with her little hands.

Hi! I hope you're doing well🥰
Can I be greedy? I NEED me something from the kiss prompt lust if you're willing, of just about any of them, for Autumn (Rosie) and Steve? I genuinely cannot pick, there are at least 10 kinds I'd die to read about🥲 I miss them.
(No pressure!)
eeeeee, I miss them too! I choose --a kiss after a small rejection-- because we all know I love me a bit of angst before the fluff with 🍁 Steve Rogers x super soldier!reader 🍁 [one of my Valentine's Fics for 2024]
Warnings for not much (super mild cursing) except please remember that this reader chose the name Autumn Rose Barnes after rescued from Hydra. Steve calls you 'Rosie,' zero other physical or personal descriptors. It's not an OC! Sorry to lecture, but I've gotten complaints and needed to explain this multiple times...Also, you and Steve adopted a German Shepard mix named Maple. WC 1370
Your Team, an Autumn Is Healing tale
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With the fastest, most forceful, super soldier movements you can manage, you shred the single page of paper in your hands.
Those cowards delivered it while you were in your garden. They put it under your door, far back in the building, and they ran away with their tails between their legs.
“‘Not able to authorize you at this time’ MY ASS,” you screech.
“I’m sure the Council didn’t make the decision lightly.” Steve diligently picks up tiny pieces off the carpet as you toss them everywhere.
It’s all you can do not to burst straight through the walls.
“How dare they? Have I not done enough?! What more do they want??”
You aren’t an Avenger, not now, maybe not ever, and the future just looks blank when before it seemed so clear.
You can fight—you should fight,—so why not put you to work? Why not let you on the damn Team?
“They don’t trust me,” you think aloud. “All this power, and no one wants me.”
He stops at the trash and puts his hands on his hips, dejected. “That’s not—Sit down, okay? This isn’t about any of that. You are wanted and trusted here.”
“I can pull my weight, Steve. I can give back what you all have given me. I can be a team player, I promise, please. PLEASE. Tell them. Please tell them I’m ready.”
“Rosie, no one doubts you are ready or capable or any of that, and you are part of the team. More importantly, I am on your team. We all are. Only thing that happened today is some bureaucrats covered their asses—“
You and maple cock your heads in shock, but the language changes nothing.
“Then why can’t I be of use?!”
“Here,” he specifies. “In here, in the compound, of course, we trust you. You know this place. You know all of us. But sweetheart, there is so much out there.”
He changes tactics. “We don’t need—I mean, the Council doesn’t see—you were trained as a soldier, yes, but that’s not who you are. That was so you’d obey their commands. The rest of us, we’re grunts. And frankly, I’m glad you won’t be in harm’s way.”
After thinking for a few seconds, something obvious occurs to you. Steve always fights for what you want, and he’s…not now.
You rush toward him with an accusatory finger up. “You did this.”
“What? No,” Steve balks.
“You did this, didn’t you? That’s what you told them to get them to say ‘no.’ You told them I wasn’t up to it, not a real soldier. You told them I’m not cut out for the Team because you didn’t want me fighting beside you.”
“I said I wanted you safe,” he tries softly.
It’s not a wall you’re about to burst through. “You took my chance!”
“Rosie, that’s ridiculous. I never—“
His phone makes a noise like a foghorn—the call to the jets. Danger. The Team needs him.
You both look up from his hip at the same time, eyes locked between fury and compliance.
“Better go.” You scowl. “Wouldn’t want to hold you back.”
His face falls, and he stands there, listening to the alarm sound again, then again.
Without another word, Steve gives up and leaves.
You lock the door and remove his entrance privileges. It won’t keep him out, but it will slow him down and make a point when he returns.
If he wants to keep the battlefield personal, then this can be your domain. He can apply to participate. He can go through a crucible of grueling interviews and tests and then last-minute, made-up tests because they just wanted to find one reason…
And Steve handed it to them on a silver platter.
Tumblr media
When he comes back he tries the door. You can hear the mechanical lock beep in rejection of his hand print. He tries again. He knocks, he calls out with a louder knock, and then, finally, he uses the override command, the one that they technically all have because you can’t be trusted. Not really. Not fully.
He enters the dark rooms quietly.
You’re on the bed, laying with your hands wedged between your thighs, Maple’s belly warming your feet, the window blinds all the way up, moonlight and stars visible as a small comfort.
He doesn’t know if you’re asleep or awake until you speak.
“What was the point—why put me through all this if I can’t help? Am I just a thing to breed?”
“Rosie, honey, that is not and never has been true.” Clearly cautious from your argument, Steve stays a short distance away.
“Then why did no one look for me? I was right there, strapped down for years, because that was my purpose, that’s what I was created fo—”
“So was I,” he exclaims gruffly. “I was made to do one thing, and one thing only, and I still sat in the Arctic for seventy years! It doesn’t prove shit—“ he kneels down beside the bed, holding your hands and whispering pleas into you skin “—and no one but you can define your purpose.” 
Maple whines and bows her head over the edge.
”I want you,” he continues. “I trust you. If it makes me selfish to…fine, I’m selfish. So be it. I don’t want you out there with me, I’m sorry. I don’t. See, I lost people when they got sick, when they went to war, when I went to war, when I came back, when I didn’t come back.”
He pauses, tracing small patterns over your thumb while he squeezes your hands.
“Please. Please, sweetheart. Just give me this one thing because even though you have a serum, I can’t…I can’t imagine…if anything ever…
“We are super. We are not indestructible,” he admits. “Losing you would destroy me.”
Steve looks fragile, his features shadowed by more than the night.
“You don’t need to become an Avenger. We are already on your team. We are your team. You have nothing to earn. You have nothing to fight for. We lo—I love you. I’m in awe of you because you became so much more than they tried to make you be.”
The dog howls gently in agreement.
“Me and Maple are your biggest fans, too.”
Said ‘fan’ harrumphs on cue, making Steve burst into a smile.
“There’s a whole fan club. We have a slogan—‘Go Autumn’—there’s gonna be t-shirts and scarves.” He drops your hand to spring up. “We’re your cheerleaders, right, girl? See?”
He hurdles over you to his side of the bed and starts hopping up and down with his fists in the air. Maple goes ballistic barking.
“RAH, RAH, ROSIE! RAH, RAH, ROSIE!”
Steven Grant Rogers, born the fourth of July, one-hundred plus years ago, jumps on the bed, bouncing till you reluctantly roll off and stand. 
Maple gets down with Steve, panting, and watches intently, thinking her dad has really lost the plot in a super fun way. Maybe she’ll get a treat even.
He steps in front of you, running his fingers through his disheveled hair.
“Wha’d’ya say, Miss, can I be on your team? Do you want me? You trust me?”
If you weren’t so close to tears, you would have answered him immediately. Instead, you hum.
He scoffs. “You Barneses are so picky.”
Steve pulls you into a hug, lifts your chin and says softly against your lips, “go, Autumn, go,” before capturing you in his zeal.
The truth of it is you know he wants you, and you know he trusts you. Knowing that Steve feared for your safety makes you more anxious to have him out there.
You hold him tighter.
He's right, of course, that risk is everywhere and nothing is promised. How could he say 'no' to peace of mind? You'll never be lost. He will never lose this one thing.
Though you will not be joining the Avengers, one of the many things you are a part of is this: a slow dance in the dark with a good man.
A slow, slow dance between his tongue and yours, that is.
After what feels like hours of him kissing you so sweetly, Maple is bored and stretching into a ready stance.
She yips indignantly.
You pull away from Steve. “I know, girl. I always want him to come home, too.”
He rests his forehead to yours. “She’s right. I should respect her mom’s independence.”
Maple squeals and flicks her head (and ears) to the side. Where’s her treat, you crazies? She put up with your tension all night, and she deserves a reward.

OC Name Meanings
Tagged by @alyssalenko (thank you!)
Rules: Google and post the meaning of your OC’s name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too
I have a lot of OC's so I'm going to try to stick to my main characters that i write about to keep this list short! I'll only be doing first names too.
I'll tag @bardofheartdive @hawkeykirsah @ladyinthebluebox @briarfox13 @painterofhorizons @awhellstothejoe @barbex @badwolf626 @starsandskies @elleweird @commander-sarahs-art @fereldanwench @bioware-bard @amarmeme @heroofshield @theicescorpions @furyleika @spacemomnephmoreau and anyone else who wants a tag :)
Tumblr media
Rennah Shepard
Rennah means 'Born Again' or 'Rebirth' - if you've read my longfic Lights in the Sky, you'll know that this name is oddly perfect for her, because by the end of the story Rennah is a whole new person.
Tumblr media
Gina Shepard
Gina means 'Queen' - and she is a bit of a queen in Kaidan's eyes! Though she has a horrible opinion of herself and struggles to see her own worth, especially after she is infected with the Reaper Virus. She's my main shepard I write about these days and I love her!
Tumblr media
Pandora Shepard
Pandora means 'Gift' or 'All Giving' but of course if you know your mythology you know that Pandora's name has a whole lot of other implied meaning. She's the one who romances Subject Zero Kaidan and is the daughter of Admiral Hackett, and unfortunately she brings trouble wherever she goes. I need to finish her story eventually - and it won't be a typical Shepard tale, asw much because of who she is, as because of who she loves.
Tumblr media
Sirius Ryder
Sirius means the brightest star, and she was named this because she was born with eyes that glowed with biotics. She fell in love with Reyes and their story is probably my all time favourite that I've written.
Tumblr media
Zi (Zillia) Shepard
Zillia means Shadow. I don't really know what to say - she's my Shep who romances Kaidan and Vega. They have a rough start but end up in post war bliss together.

what is your opinion of your Geth?
deep breath OKAY. ohhh boy. here we go.
I was a "this is my OC, a sentient robot struggling with their humanity" sort of teen, which is just code for "ace and neurodivergent but doesn't know it yet", & when Legion showed up I was like, oh ok I see! I need to protect this guy with my life. stupidly long response incoming-
I love the geth so much ok. I've got a few unfinished doodles of Legion lying around because I LOVE drawing robots so much and Legion's design is just so neat, I'm really looking forward to working on their stained glass piece because mechanical stuff and stained glass go together better than one would think! It makes me sad that you can't explore all of their dialogue in ME2 without killing the Normandy's crew :( I don't remember for sure but I think I actually installed a mod that lets you talk to them more before the suicide mission, genuinely wish they'd gotten more screen time!! The geth are one of the few intelligent aliens we see whose thoughts and society are completely and truly alien and I love that!!
BUT I think ME2/3 could've handled them so much better. Especially ME3. Ok I really don’t like what ME3 does to the geth. I like ME3, but there’s a lot of things I need to mentally slap a headcanon bandage over and the geth are one of them.
The fact that they're genuinely alien and don't think the same way or view themselves as individuals the same way organics do doesn't make them any less sentient? I would've liked it so much better to see everyone overcome the challenges of understanding something that thinks in a completely different way, rather than one side having to fundamentally change to make peace possible. I loved the fact that in ME2 they didn’t seem to want to become more ‘human’/organic! Legion was already ‘alive’ before the Reaper code upgrades. Those units have a soul in Mass Effect 2 too! I just don’t really like “already clearly sentient robot has to change themselves to think more like a typical human” plots :( (glances at Data from Star Trek.. my boy you are just autistic)
I also don't like that the peaceful resolution to the geth/quarian conflict involves Legion uploading Reaper code upgrades. It just doesn't make narrative sense? We get so, so, SO many examples throughout the course of the game of a) the geth using Reaper tech and being indoctrinated, and b) other people trying to use Reaper tech for their own purposes and having it backfire big-time. ME1: The geth are controlled by Reapers so you have to kill them. ME2: The geth heretics are controlled by the Reapers because of Reaper code so you have to kill/rewrite them. ME3: The geth are being controlled by the Reapers so you have to… give them more Reaper code???
I always make peace between the geth and quarians because I love Legion and Tali, and I know there's a happy ending there so I can headcanon away a better explanation. But when I played for the first time, I had no spoilers, zero outside knowledge, and I chose to destroy the geth, because if I were Shepard in that situation and Legion was telling me they wanted to upload Reaper code because this time it's gonna be different we promise, I would not let them do that???
But APART FROM THAT I love the geth. I would've loved to see more of the geth interacting with other aliens in the galaxy after peace is made, and what impact that would have on their society. They were initially slaves, and then almost completely isolated themselves from organic life. And sure, they did some observing, but actually interacting with the other races would've been a whole different ball game, and it would've been so COOL to see the geth explore not only other cultures/societies and be surprised when they were unable to accurately predict the actions of individual organics, but also to see how they develop in relation to that, how it changes the way they see themselves. How they'd have to learn to effectively communicate with organics when they're used to sharing information at lightspeed. How they as a species would navigate political or interpersonal, rather than physical, conflict... I just wish we got more geth content bc they’re one of my favorite aliens & I really hope ME5 gives us more geth

OC Name Meanings
tagged by @okami-zero, thanks!
Rules: Google and post the meaning of your OC’s name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.
Well... this won't be terribly exciting but I'll share what I can!
Jess is typically short for Jessica, which means... "to see" in Hebrew? Fittingly, Jess is one of the more oblivious people you'll meet. Alternatively, it means "to see god" which is a tad more fitting, considering she's slain like every single god we've met in game.
Though her name is just Jess, not Jessica. When I have to give her a full name, on very rare occasions, it's Jesselya, but if that's canon in XIV I can't say.
The origin of me naming her Jess came about... back in 2011? I think? I was playing a DnD campaign with some friends and everyone came up with these huge elaborate fantasy names, so I rolled in with "Jess", sort of poking fun at them in a subtle way. And it's just stuck ever since, as has her origin of being a Plain Jane in a world of magic and wonder and names you can't even begin to pronounce.
In every universe in which she lives, she's an orphan, so last names were never really a thing for her. But since XIV requires them, I gave her the last name Shepard - nothing canonical for her at all, just a nod to my other favorite game, Mass Effect.
Varrus, on the other hand, isn't my character, but I'll still give his answer since it's silly!
My husband initially had rolled into XIV with his tabaxi DnD character, a Hrothgar, but he didn't really enjoy the bulk of the Hrothgar, so he used his free ARR fantasia, and, after experimenting with all the races, decided he liked Elezen best. But he had no idea what to name him - so, as a joke, he named him Varrus Vakarian, to go with my Shepard (there's no Shepard without Vakarian!). Obviously this was a temporary name, and we agreed we'd try to find something more fitting as we went.
But as we played, my husband really became attached to the alliteration of the V. V. name, and didn't want to give it up. We thought and thought and thought... and then Endwalker came about, and we learned Estinien's true last name, and everything fell into place (it was decided back in SB that Varrus was Estinien's cousin, and that's another story).
As established, I suck at tagging people, so I'm leaving this an open tag as well! I'd love to hear others' stories!
