Summary
The Krogans say that the only stories worth telling are those of love, sex, and war. Remix of the canon with OC and AU spanning ME1-3.
Featuring an original past of a ‘survivor’ female Shepard as a drala'fa ('the ignored') from Omega. A lifetime ago, Jane met a strange drell one evening that changed her life. After enlisting in the Alliance and burying her origins, Jane gained a reputation as a closed-off paragade with secrets stemming from her checkered past, now struggling with visions caused by the beacon on Eden Prime. Her affinity for aliens, and one renegade turian in particular, becomes a problem among human-centric politicians as humanity gains a foothold in the galaxy. As time and the fate of all organic life hangs in the balance, her entanglement with the drell who changed her life further complicates matters.
The story explores multiple motifs, including a deeper look at drell, a character study of Thane, a noir loss of innocence story for Garrus/Archangel, extended turian culture and history, and a close read of Liara's transformation into the Shadowbroker. Includes expanded lore, religion, and language within the Mass Effect Universe.
