Little things about f!Shenko from ME3 that I love:

  • The way Kaidan looks with muted longing and respect each time he sees Shepard. It’s like an advanced version of ME1′s puppy eyes: his adoration and admiration is still there, but it’s tangled up in the darkness that lies between them.
  • The way they chuckle when they banter to each other after they reconcile on the Presidium, and in their lighter conversations thereafter.
  • The way he holds her hand to his* face each time she cups his cheek as if he’s making sure she’s really there and he wants to hold a part of her to him.
  • THE WAY HE KISSES HER HAND WHILE HOLDING IT TO HIS FACE ARE OYU KIDDING ME THAT’S MY JAM BIOWARE
  • The sure and simple way he says how he loves her “‘til the end of time.” It’s not a declaration or grandstanding, it’s a statement of absolute fact. Shepard is It. Always was, always will be.
  • the LOOK OF HORROR ON HIS FACE AS HE PLEADS WITH HER “DON’T LEAVE ME BEHIND”
  • HIM HOLDING OUT HIS HAND AS SHE STEPS AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE HE STILL WANTS TO HOLD ONTO A PART OF HER
  • Him trying to be all suave and impressive in the kitchen but he gets so flustered just to have her nearby that he creates a very likely kitchen emergency
  • Basically just everything about f!Shenko that flips the het romance dynamic of “flustered head-over-heels starry eyed woman falls for a capable, charming, tough man“ into a flustered starry eyed MAN falling for the capable, tough woman because that is EVERY SHIP I LOVE IN EVERYTHING EVER
  • the way he pitches his voice lower into that husky rasp when he’s being sexually suggestive i mean r u kiddin me, u can get it all day every day, alenko

THINGS WE SAID WHILE WE WERE ON TOP OF THE WORLD WITH FSHENKO

Send me a ship and a number and I’ll write a thing. [accepting] (x)

21. Things you said when we were on top of the world. 

Kaidan feels like a child as he steps through the hospital doors with Garrus on his heels. He doesn’t remember ever feeling such a mix of emotions before. He an feel excitement tingling in the depths of him, spreading to the tips of his toes, but there was a part of him, that couldn’t let him fully enjoy the feeling. What if she wasn’t really here? What if it all the information they’ve managed to gather is just a bunch of hopeful rumors? Kaidan doesn’t know if he’d be able to handle that kind of disappointment. It’s why he hesitates approaching the front desk. 

Garrus rests a hand on Kaidan’s shoulder. He though it was only fit that the turian come along. Garrus is her best friend, and he’s been with her longer than even him. Kaidan takes a deep breath and looks up at Garrus. His friend gives him a nod, encouraging him to approach the receptionist. 

Kaidan swallows before stepping towards the desk with shaking hands. The last time he felt this nervous, he was anxiously waiting on some unknown planet for word, any word about the war. Now he’s waiting in front of some cheap Ikea desk to find out if the love of his life is actually dead or not. 

“Um,” Kaidan says. He’s unsure of how to go about this. The receptionist hasn’t even bothered to look up at him. She’s flipping through some magazine. “I’m looking for, uh, Teyla Shepard?”

He feels like his heart stops beating as the silence grows between him and seemingly disinterested receptionist. She reaches over to a nearby drawers, pulling a folder from its depths. She flips to a certain spot, still not bothering to look up. “Name?”

“Oh, uh, my name?” He feels stupid the moment that he says it. Of course she means his name. “I’m Kaidan Alenko.”

For the first time since he’s been there, the lady looks up at him, a large smile on her face. “Kaidan Alenko? She’s been waiting for you.”
