Summary
Palaven was burning over her shoulder as Commander Shepard told Adrien Victus he was next in line to be its primarch. He looked past her at first, only a lifetime of dedication to the Hierarchy compelling him to leave Menae and join her on the Normandy to play politician. But as he runs the turian war effort from her ship, he finds in Shepard a fellow soldier with unflinching courage and determination to save her people—and his.
As their war campaign converges, so do they.

Summary
Pinpointing the exact moment he’d gotten under her skin was impossible, but it had been a gradual insinuation made with the rumble of his whetstone voice as they’d talked in the hospital, the sorrowful brown of his eyes, countless “Yes, ma’ams,” the time she’d laid her fingers against his forearm in the courtroom and the dark hairs had risen to her touch.
It could be that she’d never see him again, but the articles she printed and hid were a line to him she didn’t want to lose.
Six months after Frank Castle disappears, Karen Page is tracking news stories that match his trademark violence as an assurance that he’s still alive. Those stories conjure visions of a man she desires, and when he shows up at her apartment window, she’s given a chance to replace her imagined version of him with the real thing.

Summary
A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games - including eventually into Andromeda. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!
Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.
**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** See individual works for specifics.
**BioWare owns the games and the characters (minus a couple smalls OCs), I'm just reveling in the love they gave us**
