    Summary

    Shepard may be determined to go through the beam alone, but, injured or no, Kaidan isn't about to let that happen on his watch, and neither is the rest of the team.

    (We all know the end of ME3 was trash, so here's my attempt to fix it.)

    Summary

    And later, when he's standing on the Normandy's landing ramp watching Anderson run back into the burning city, the Reapers landing in the destroyed remains, evacuation shuttles blowing up in the sky, the dog tags in his fist cutting harshly into the skin on his palm as he refuses the stinging in his eyes... he leans back into Kaidan until their shoulders knock and the man says "it's okay".

    Or, that time I got irritated at the lack of emotion in every MShep/Kaidan cutscene and rewrote them all.

    Summary

    Kaidan Alenko is drawn to Commander John Shepard, on every possible level. The man is a force of nature in his own right, and Kaidan has been in love with him since their first journey together. It's been nearly three years since he first met Commander Shepard, and those feelings have never gone away.

    But, with the return of the Reapers, Kaidan's running out of time.

    A fluffy, lovey-dovey romance between Kaidan and Male Shepard, with a significant amount of fluff (and smut!) to make up for the requisite angst.

    Opus - The Multiverse by

    Fandom Mass Effect Trilogy

    29 Oct 2024

    Summary

    Sam Shepard and Kaidan Alenko, outside the main Opus!Verse. Here you'll find prompts and one-shots that don't quite belong in their main "canon" story. These are concept art ideas, self-indulgent 'what if this happened' stories and 'how many times in how many different ways can I write their first kiss' stories. :)
