  3. Summary

    Commander Shepard is a complicated person. One thing he holds sure and steady: his feelings for Kaidan Alenko.

    Or: Shepard is a man who feels his feels and then gets on with things.

    ~~~

    A series of moments in the timeline of my first "blind" playthrough of the Mass Effect trilogy, Legendary Edition (so, including all original DLC). I'm posting them in chronological sequence rather than order written. (The latter would start with "Horizon" first, if you're curious. Shepard had Opinions about that mission.) Individual place/time markers will be mentioned in notes or tags or text where needed.

    Note: series is complete up to and including The Future, or is This the Beginning. Logistics is still WIP.

    Summary

    Mozart found his calling at age 5, composing his first minuet. Picasso discovered his talent for painting when he was nine, Tyra T'Sanis could biotically lift alphabet blocks well before her first birthday, and John Shepard was just nine years old at his cousin Trina's wedding…

    Always the groomsman and never the groom, in 2186, Shepard is shocked to discover that his sister and bestfriend have been secretly dating and are now engaged. Meanwhile he meets a handsome but cynical journalist with a hidden agenda.

    Or, in an alternate and kinder universe where the Protheans defeated the Reapers thousands of years ago, how would our beloved cast of ME characters fit in a cheesy rom-com plot?

    Summary

    In another life, one where he didn't join the Alliance, Shepard would have likely stayed with Tenth Street Reds. Knowing himself, he would have also very likely risen up the ranks, possibly ending up as the head of said criminal organisation, becoming a dangerous and infamous leader in the shady underworld. Said position in the gang would certainly come with many benefits, such as power, riches, and people wanting to sleep with him. Or it could bring the eye-catching presence of a handsome, skilled and almost annoyingly nice newbie by the name of Alenko who is quite obviously attracted to him, much to Shepard's amusement.

    As luck would have it, Alenko just recently made a huge mistake in one of their operations, and now, Shepard has to find a way to punish him...
