Different - Turian Ryder X Sara Ryder

This poor Turian boy! Love him with all my heart!

Summary: Scott reflects how being a Turian has affected his life of being a Ryder.

Warning: Swearing, and Violence.

Word Count: 1266

“What is that monster doing here in our house?! Get it out of here this instant!” Alec Ryder harshly shouted and pointed to the baby Turian in his wife’s arms.

“No Alec! He is staying here and is going to be our new son!” Mrs. Ryder replied.

“Those monsters killed my friends during the First Contact War! Besides I told you to get a human child not a Turian!” Alec explained still furious over his wife’s stupidity.

”You need to get over there deaths Alec! I couldn’t just leave this poor child in the rain he needs someone to take care of him!”

Alec grumbled, “FINE! But I’m not taking care of it!”

“Mommy, Daddy what’s going on?” A little girl had said.

Sara Ryder stood by the kitchen doorway, rubbing her eyes with a small plushie in her hand.

“Nothing’s wrong Sara, why are you up? It’s getting late shouldn’t you be in bed?” Mrs. Ryder said to her daughter.

“Sorry it’s just that your both loud.” Sara replied.

“Come on let’s go back to bed, but before you do. Look here’s your new baby brother!”

Sara looked to find a small Turian, with a tan skin color. He was wrapped in a small blanket.

“He looks kind of strange Mommy?” Sara questioned.

“He’s from a different race Honey, but that doesn’t matter to us. He will be part of the family now. What should we call him Sara?” Mrs. Ryder said rocking the baby back and forth gently in her arms.

“Oh I know, I know! Scott! I’ve always wanted to have a brother named Scott!” Sara happily told her mother.

Mrs. Ryder chuckled as she looked down at the baby, “That’s a good name. Welcome home Scott Ryder.”

Scott was pushed into the citadel's school building. He dropped down from the wall to the ground.

The school bully who turned out to be a Turian. Picked Scott up by his shirt.

"You really think you're one of us just because your a Turian? You were a fool to think that you could be one of us. You know nothing about our culture, our language, and you even have a human name!" The school bully shouted as he rammed him against the side of the building.

Scott fell down with tears coming from his eyes. No one saved Scott, everyone was afraid of the school bully. Except Scott's sister.

Sara marched up to the bully and hit him in the mandible. Turian skin was pretty rough, but enough force could cause skin to bleed.

"You little bitch!" The bully loudly cursed.

The principal who was a Salarian finally came out of his office to access the situation as a C-Sec officer put both the bully and Sara in handcuffs.

No one helped Scott Ryder up from the ground that day. He had to use his own strength to get up. No one helped him.

~~~~

"Sara what were you thinking?!" Mrs. Ryder shouted at her daughter.

She was giving Sara a lecture how hitting people was wrong.

"But he hurt Scott, all because he wanted to be like the other kids! He threw him against the wall!" Sara defended.

Mrs. Ryder was pissed. No one would dare to mess with her children not even a school bully.

Mrs. Ryder sighed deeply as she sat down in a chair, "I'll admit what that boy did was not okay. But that doesn't give you the right to hit someone. You could have gone to a chaperone."

Sara glared at her mother, "What is a chaperone going to do?! Their going to try to avoid the fight if anything. Words aren't going to cut it against some people! What should have I done? Just let him hurt Scott?!"

Mrs. Ryder was going to yell at her once again, but restrained herself. She put a hand on her face as she sighed.

"No, you shouldn't have let him hurt Scott. You did defend your brother, and the bully will be suspended. Just...try to be smarter about a confrontation next time. Okay Sara?" Mrs. Ryder explained.

Sara nodded sadly, "Okay, I'm sorry Mommy."

Their conversation was interrupted by a Turian child crying with many tears coming out of his eyes.

"Mommy, I-I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have talked to them. I'll never be like the other kids. It's all my fault!" Scott sobbed.

Mrs. Ryder picked up her son and kissed his fringe.

"Don't blame yourself for something that you had no control over Scott. I wish the other kids could accept you Honey, just for now stick around with your sister okay?"

The Turian child nodded as he gave his Mom a hug.

Society never accepted him, neither Turians or Humans.

~~~~

Scott sat in his quarters on the Tempest. He laid down on his bed as he raised his arm up to look at his hand. His three talons, were covered by a glove that he wore on his outfit. Turian's talons were pretty sharp and could cut through skin like a saw if they weren't careful enough.

"Why did Dad save me? He hated me." Scott pondered.

"Hey little brother!" Sara Ryder happily exclaimed as she came into his cabin.

Scott leaned up and scooted to the edge of the bed, "Sara, what are you doing here?"

"Just checking on how my brother's doing." Sara replied smiling.

Scott looked down at the floor going back to his deep thoughts about his father and his past life once again.

"Something's wrong isn't there?" Sara said as she put a hand on Scott's elbow.

He looked up at her shocked.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"Come on, I've known you my whole life. I know when you're feeling frustrated."

Scott put his talons on his face in frustration. "I miss Mom, so much and Dad. I'm...I'm so lost. Being the pathfinder 24/7 is so difficult, I'm still trying to get past Mom and Dad's death. Which, there is one thing that's been bugging me. Why did Dad sacrifice himself for me? Did he do it just to get back at me through my childhood years?"

Sara moved closer towards Scott, "Scott, I know that Dad was very...rude back then. Although, I've noticed that he's been trying to change ever since we got on the ark. I think he sacrificed himself for you because he finally understood Mom's intentions and why she loved you so much."

Scott scoffed, "He probably just did it because I was going to be the next pathfinder eventually or something like that."

Sara sighed as she put her hand on Scott's leg. "Scott, look at me."

He refused.

"Scott please."

Scott slowly looked at her with sadness in his eyes. "I think Dad finally moved on from the past and wanted to fix things between you two. He sacrificed himself so he could make up for the things that he'd done to you."

Scott's mandibles clicked in realization. He knew Sara was probably right. He started to cry as he put his talons on his face.

Sara looked at her brother sadly. She rubbed the back of his carapace gently feeling the fabric of his jacket slide across her skin.

"It's okay Scott, just calm down." Sara said.

"Sara...I...I feel like a burden on everyone. You, Mom, Dad, Society, and everyone else on this team." Scott said with tears in eyes.

Sara hugged his brother as Scott hugged her back.

"I promise you Scott. Your not a burden on anyone. We love you so much and I bet everyone on your crew cares about you too. Also, who cares about what society thinks they are just a bunch of assholes." Sara scoffed.

Scott chuckled, his mandibles spreading out slightly. "Nothing scares you Sara, doesn't it."

Sara smiled, "Not even your boogers scared me Scott."

"Ewww!! Please don't remind me about that!" Scott shouted waving his arms around in a small panic.

Sara cracked up, "Come on Scott, I'm just teasing!"

Got a lot of ME:A screenshots/photo mode pics I want to share

Both funny and whatnot but very less the former, so gonna share those first, or that.

Getting the Nomad stuck on the bridge was planned and Vetra on the other hand? Not so much.

Now for the more cinematic planned photos and testing and whatnot

Testing out the "photo mode" with Vetra and playing around with it

And finally while inside the vault with a bit more, ik what I'm doing

Unfortunately I couldn't add one more pic which was a variation of the first two of the vault pictures (only with halftone in it so it looks pretty similar to the second pic) but I reached the picture limit XD

Hope you liked them tho!

[crqstalite]

an extra hc: being left on medical leave means mateo has plenty of time to get up to trouble on meridian and the nexus — and he finds that time wandering around the evergrowing nursery, plus helping with waking the younger travelers. with his more hands on and adventurous personality, the kids usually adore him.

talis has babies named after her for her efforts, but she’ll never be as charismatic as a recovering mateo playing hide and seek with kids newly woken from the cryo bay.

i need to draw the adoption comic bad man...

[thetrashbagswasteland]

Today only from a card carrying member of the Castis Vakarian Appreciation Squad, a refresher on canon since there's a not-zero number of people in 2024 who seem blissfully unaware of how much we know about this man in canon (including andromeda yes the game is canon go cry about it).

He's a cop. Yes Castis works for C-Sec, implied within the same unit/building as Garrus and to the contrary of his son, is implied to be both good at his job and well-regarded for it. (This will be important for later points try to remember it.)

He has alien friends. Castis is canonically one of Alec Ryder's best friends. They're good enough friends that he passes on rumours/heresay about the Reapers to him and reminisces about spending time with him on the Citadel. Any turian old enough to have been an adult during the FCW and who has human friends as of canon prolly isn't a miserable old xenophobe. Whilst no, working at C-Sec doesn't exclude him from having shitty thoughts about Krogan and Quarians, it's a fairly good sign he's not anti-alien on the whole if he'll befriend a human.

He's got a personality. How dare minor characters have those! But more seriously, acting as if Castis is portrayed as nothing but a rule-worshipping automaton is doing him a disservice. If nothing else, his willingness to befriend and hang out with Alec, who's very much of the opinion that rules are guidelines to be circumvented when at all possible, shows that he's capable of nuance and maybe even a dash of line-pushing of his own accord. Maybe he's comfortable within the system and trusts law and order as set out legally above all else but c'mon guys, you don't hang out with a guy who goes on to break AI law and get dishonourably discharged (and then remain friends with him after that when it's made damned clear few others do) without being able to see shades of grey.

He trusts his son. This one I suspect may be more contentious BUT let's be honest here, Garrus isn't an easy person to be around. We hear about the pair of them clashing on the job and within their personal lives about the spectres but here's the thing: Garrus winds up on a secretive mission with a human and xenophobic terrorist group, after running off to a lawless hellscape to play batman. He remains distant until done working with Cererbus and then returns home with a crazy tale about a dead human spectre, genocidal robots from the year dot and half his face missing. Castis not only believes him but does so willingly enough that he does everything he can to help him get the news to the right people, just in case he's right. Equally, whilst we don't have an exact date for when the call with Alec occurs, it's post-start of ME1 at the very least and within that he's already willing to take what Garrus is saying Shepard says at face value. Within that call, it's made patently obvious that no matter what, he still trusts Garrus on some level and is proud of him on top of that trust.

He cares deeply for the people around him. Perhaps this one's linked with 3 but whatever, my post, my rules; in the comics, the picture we're painted by (unreliable narrator) Garrus is that of a driven, cold man who doesn't care enough about his own family. This is why he doesn't come home when Mama Vakarian gets hurt, we're told, and we're expected to take that as face value even when she herself says that by the time he can get away from work and be back there, she'll be mostly healed. Kinda contrasted by the fact that he seemingly retires/takes time off from C-Sec to be with his wife when she's dying. Now, the details are kinda fuzzy on the whys and hows but during ME3, he and Solana escape Palaven together. Maybe the war's going poorly enough that they're able to finagle staying together through the draft, maybe they come across one another purely by luck, we don't know. Either way, rather than attempt to get back to the Citadel and to where he presumably still had a job and/or was needed, he sticks with his daughter. Can't do anything more to help his son but he's gonna stick with at least one of his kids to make sure she survives. As well as all this, the "do things properly or don't do them at all" lesson Garrus struggles with from him is (gasp) not bad advice for their situation. He's trying to teach his son important life skills and whilst there's no denying he's going about it wrong, a key point is in fact that Garrus learns to master the gun he's struggling to fire and it in fact becomes one of his specialities! He becomes an exceptionally good marksman! The lesson fucking worked! He still, regardless of the reasons for it, seems to support and be content with Garrus not fulfilling his mandatory 15 but instead joining C-Sec and (worse still) doesn't have too much of an issue with him consorting with Spectres. Perhaps he's not best pleased but he definitely comes to accept that that's how things are irrespective of his own feelings about them as either a concept or as people (his belief that Garrus being a spectre would be a terrible no good very bad idea is, in fact, backed up by canon as being entirely correct too).

Conclusion/TL:DR. Take a lesson from Castis Vakarian himself here, either write about this man properly or don't write him at all, I'm begging y'all. There's an awful lot more to this character if you think about him and put together the information canon gives us on him, so do so.

Seren x Reyes and prompt #7. “You want me to give you your book/phone/item back? Make me.” 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Oh nice choice! (FYI Seren is now Aeryn Ryder) -

below the cut and also on AO3

Aeryn opened the door to the private room at Tartarus to find Reyes at the back as usual. He was reading through a datapad, so engrossed in it that he hadn't even lifted his head to her appearance.

She turned to Vetra who'd come with her down to the underbelly of Kadara and the Turian flexed her mandibles, a gesture Aeryn knew meant the same as an eyeroll for them and Aeryn held back a chuckle. What ever was on that slate must be very important to not notice her she thought. Probably important Collective business now that he was the de-facto ruler of Kadara.

Still he had asked her to spend time with him here and she'd made sure to get some time off from exploring Meridian to do that. The least he could do was take some time off too.

"I'm going to speak to Kian then head back to the port." Vetra whispered as she bobbed her head in the Turian equivalent of a grin."We'll pick you up in two weeks, don't have too much fun."

Vetra left Aeyrn, who let the door close behind her and heard the distinctive click of the double lock going on as Reyes's sly eyes caught hers, a smirk playing on his lips.

"I knew you were here Cariño, soon as your ship entered Kadara space."

Of course he'd know, Aeryn realised, he always knew. So why was he so intent on what ever was on that datapad? She smoothly unzipped her jacket to let it fall open as it usually did, though she had her reasons for keeping it closed until now.

"I wasn't sure, since you were so engrossed in what ever you were reading, that I thought you'd forgotten I was coming."

Aeryn's playful tone matched the way she walked towards Reyes, her footsteps making her hips sway in a way that caught his attention further and he closed what ever was on the datapad, letting it rest on his thighs as he paid full attention to her.

"Oh I never forget when you come...here."

It was Aeryn's turn to roll her eyes as she closed the distance to perch herself on the table in front of where he was sitting, dropping her travel bag to the floor at her side.

"Is that so..."

Aeryn toyed with the edge of her scarf, slowly pulling it from around her neck and letting it drop to the table. She watched as his eyes followed the scarf and then the bob of his adam's apple as he swallowed, realising she wasn't wearing anything under her jacket. His eyes fixed there and it gave her the opportunity to snatch the datapad from his lap, snapping him out of his trance as he tried to snatch it back off her.

"Aeryn I need that! It has very important information on it!"

Aeryn held the datapad out of Reyes's reach, lifting the pad up high.

"More important than me being here?" She knew she sounded childish, but maybe she was feeling like playing a game. "You want me to give this back to you? Make me."

Reyes sucked in his lower lip, yet what every annoyance he felt was replaced with a predator's smile and he suddenly stood, crowding over Aeryn, forcing her to lean back on the table, stretching her arm back to keep the datapad out of his easy reach. Reyes took in the sight below him as Aeryn's jacket fell open exposing her breasts.

"What shall I do to make you want to give that back to me I wonder? I've been thinking about you all day Aeryn, thinking of what we could do whilst you were here. It got me all hot and bothered I could barely think."

"I like having that effect on you." Aeryn purred as she lay back, both arms lifting above her so that her back arched, exposing her chest further.

Reyes grinned wolfishly, taking his time to look down at her, leaning down to kiss between her breasts.

"Perhaps I know exactly how to make you give that back to me." He whispered as he reached back and started unbuckling her jeans, pulling them open to slide a hand under the fabric, finding Aeryn already wet to his touch.

"Seems I have an effect on you as well."

Aeryn moaned as Reyes slid two fingers through her folds to touch her clit, rolling his fingertips over it. He worked methodically, watching Aeryn's face intently as her pleasure built, every now and then leaning down to kiss her lips, her neck, her chest, noticing the tremble build in Aeryn's legs as she started to reach her peak.

"Is this what you like mi amor?"

"Yes…I'm so close Reyes!"

"I know…" Reyes pulled his hand away, denying Aeryn her orgasm, making her lift her head up in a pleading mewl that only made Reyes grin. "Give me back my pad and I'll give you what you want…and more."

Aeryn let her head drop back to the table, pouting defiantly but gasped as Reyes slid his fingers back to her center, this time dipping them into her core.

"Reyes!"

The datapad was tossed onto the couch, making Reyes chuckle huskily as he returned his fingers to her clit, working them feverishly to bring Aeryn back to that knife edge and watched entranced as she tipped over, her back arching even further as she scrambled to grip the edge of the table with her hands.

Working her through her orgasm, Reyes smiled when Aeryn lifted her head back up and reached for him to pull him down for a desperate and passionate kiss.

"I missed you, you smug bastard." She whispered between kisses, "now give me what I want."

"As you wish mi cielo, mi luna, mis estrellas. Anything for you."

Reyes quickly unzipped his combat suit, stepping out of it as Aeryn divested herself of her clothing and he pulled her off the table to straddle his lap on the couch.

"Two weeks of nothing but enjoying each other's company, a man could get very used to this." He whispered as he felt Aeryn sink down onto his hard cock, dragging a low guttural moan out of him. This right here was one of things he'd had trouble getting off his mind once he'd thought of the possibility and now the reality was better than what he'd imagined.

Aeryn ground her hips down, letting Reyes stretch and fill her again and then slowly rose up to ride him, her breath coming in short sharp pants that matched the sparks of pleasure that flowed through her.

His eyes never left hers as she started moving faster as if the very sight of her was the intoxication he needed, watching as she came undone once more, the waves of ecstasy washing over her till she let herself drop down and let Reyes take over, his hips working hard as he thrust deeply into her, till he too came with a ragged gasp.

Sweaty and sated Aeryn relaxed in Reyes arms, carding her fingers through his now tousled hair.

"What ever was on that datapad that was so important anyway?" She said with a hazy edged voice of utter bliss.

Reyes smirked and leaned them both over to grab the slate, opening it up to show her. Aeryn's eyes opened wide on the message that she silently read.

"Reyes did you know that Angaran give gifts of commitment to their partners?"

"No, but humans do too Keema, usually rings symbolising unity and eternal...why are you telling me this?"

"Reyes…When are you going to give Aeryn a sign of your commitment? You two are adorable together."

"You read my mind again Keema…Know any jewellers on Kadara?"

"I have just the artisan in mind Reyes. Sent you her information.""

Aeryn looked from the datapad to Reyes who had the biggest vehshaanan grin on his face, and she froze in his grasp as if time was holding still, afraid what she'd just read was a joke.

Reyes pulled a small box from the side of the couch that she'd not noticed and opened it with the flick of his thumb. Inside were two rings made of a black metal inlaid with flecks of gold and a stone that flashed both purple and green in one ring .

"I know…marriage is off the cards for the moment whilst The Collective wrangle negotiations with the Initiative, but Keema isnt wrong that I want to show my commitment to you. I had these made by an Angaran here. She said she'd used traditional materials, but I chose the stone to match your hair and eyes."

Reyes took the inlaid ring out and slid it onto Aeryn's ring finger where it fitted perfectly. She looked down at it, amazed and surprised.

"How did you…?"

"I may have assisted Mr Vidal." SAM piped up. "Reyes contacted me and explained the idea and since I only have limited experience in human relationship rituals I was intrigued to help accomplish this."

"SAM...Reyes, it's beautiful."

Reyes slid the other ring onto his finger and clasped their hands together, kissing hers reverently.

"You are beautiful Aeryn. This is just the first of many things I want to do to show you how committed I am to making this work." Reyes smiled softly, his own hand now brushing loose hair that had fallen over Aeryn's face and tucking it behind her ear. "Now, how about we get dressed and I'll take you to my home. We'll bath in the nearby hot springs, I'll cook us up a feast, we'll fuck like Adhi and forget business for the time we have together. I've already arranged it with Keema and my main representatives. Unless the blackhole threatens to swallow Kadara, I am not to be disturbed."

"God yes...I love you Reyes."

"Love you too mi amor."
