Summary
“I don’t blame you for this, Kaidan. I never did. You did what you had to do,” she said as suddenly as the fact of her advanced piano skills. Stopping, she turned, the tears in her blue eyes as bright as the stars she'd come to fear. “The times you walked away from me after that were much worse, to be honest.” Not missing a beat, or note in this case, she picked up the song where she left it off before throwing this at him like a grenade in the field.
Shepard hasn't left her cabin for a whole day, holing up while writing reports. So EDi urges Major Alenko to check up on her. He is only all too happy to oblige to this request, as it gives him not only reason to see her, but also to figure out why she isn't finding any sleep. ME3, set about two weeks after "Reignite."Series

Summary
An anxiety ridden engineer, who ran into a thresher maw at the wrong place at the wrong time, is promoted to commander and pushed forward as a specter candidate against his will. He is neither saint nor sinner- he’s Travis Shepard, the IT guy with a gun. Can he change the tides of fate?
Earther/Sole Survivor/Very Tired
In this universe, persuasiveness is separated from the paragon/renegade system and characters’ classes effect how they interact with the world to make them more nuanced. NPCs also get more agency within combat and the story itself. Shepard’s tactics are inspired by the Muderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. This is my first fan fiction I’ve decided to post. Enjoy!
