Summary
Eivor holds the fated threads of many in his bloodied hands, but for every alliance he might build and every life he might save, it will not be enough to undo what he has lost. Echoes of forgotten lives have shown him that fate cannot be bent or broken, it cannot be twisted or torn - it simply is. Some threads lead to tangles of the heart, betrayal looming beyond a veil Eivor cannot pierce. Others lead to long-awaited reunions, and the building of a future that once existed only in a dream.
Can Eivor find peace in knowing that he cannot pick and choose from the threads the Nornir spin?

With Cerberus on the rise but just out of reach, it's up to the new Shepard to find his footing along the knife-edge of becoming a Commander, all the while contending with a failing Alliance, a lingering grief, and one particular Lieutenant Alenko who seems to have him pegged for the one thing he's never been: Commander Shepard.

Summary
Andromeda is a place for pioneers and adventurers. Shepard is neither. Waking up on the Nexus after dying in the Normandy's destruction only proves that point. With the Initiative in tatters, Shepard reverts to a bare-bones state of survival. It's a bleak and brutal reminder of his time with the 10th Street Reds, and of a life before he was ever more than just a gun for hire.
The good news: Kadara Port is a haven for people like him.
The bad news: It's any port in a storm. Even if that port comes with strings attached, and a certain familiar face from a past littered with criminal secrets.
