There are three rules to a one-night stand: Wear a condom, don't stay longer than necessary, and most importantly, don't get attached. Too bad Shepard was never one for following all the rules. In fair Vancouver, where we lay our scene... Featuring artwork from the amazing Dakotaliar! (Chapter 1)Fea

"'Garrus…' 'You can't tell me you haven't thought about it before. Getting her back.'" - Garrus and Kaidan finally get down to the barebones of loving Commander Shepard when they think she isn't listening. Hint: she is.

Set during Mass Effect 1. Kaidan and Shepard get snowed in on Noveria, and biotics run hot. When the carburetor started failing them, it was only a matter of time before the planet’s unfriendly temperature—just one of the hostiles they were dealing with—started to freeze the fuel.

Actually based on the merc!Shepard and Spectre!Alenko prompt on the kinkmeme. Earthborn Shepard never makes it into the Alliance. Merc life suits him just fine, as does teaming up with C-Sec officer Garrus Vakarian every now and then. And then he meets Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko, poster boy for doing

When Shepard died the first time, Cerberus specialists implanted a graybox in his brain—and, when it was destroyed by the blast on the Citadel, his memories of the year since his resurrection were destroyed along with it. Kaidan keeps his distance in order to keep Shepard from feeling trapped by the

A challenge taken on Tumblr; a 30 Day OTP NSFW challenge. Only, because I'm cruel to myself, I decided to make it 30 different pairings instead. Updated as they're produced.

When Kaidan Alenko met John Shepard, he'd like to say that their eyes met and it was all inevitable from there. The thing was, John was kind of an ass. And Kaidan was kind of stubborn.

Love is a pleasure Shepard has denied herself, for her sake and the sake of those closest to her. This doesn't stop them from loving her anyway. "She Who Walks Alone" is a collection of thoughts from those who knew her the best and—more importantly—loved her the most. Currently featuring Garrus, Lia

Commander Shepard is a legend: First Human Spectre, Hero of the Citadel, Savior of the Galaxy. In the middle of the war, he finds he'd rather be less legend and more human. Stealing time between missions to build a relationship, neither he nor Kaidan can imagine how much their time together will aff

After the Battle of the Citadel, the Alliance calls the Normandy home to Vancouver to face an inquest. Things get...complicated. On every possible level. Especially when Kaidan discovers an unfortunate misunderstanding with his parents. ~“Have to admit though,” Shepard says, swallowing the rest of h

The galaxy tries to find the way forward, in the wake of the destruction of the reapers.Post-ME3, destroy ending, but completely ignores the whole ‘destroy all synthetics’ thing. Basically, the reapers are destroyed and everyone else lives. Also assumes that Kaidan and Male Shepard had a romantic re

There was no Alliance manual for trying to drag two trillion people fighting and screaming through absolute certain death, and there was nothing about what to do when you unexpectedly got spat out on the other side, either. And there was *definitely* nothing about what to do if your hot, older-than-

Kaidan’s life has never been easy. BAaT nearly drove him to madness, life after was a struggle, but now… Now he is ready. For whatever life tosses at him. Or so he thinks.

After being dead for two years, there’s only one person Shepard wants to see. So he writes a letter.

You would think having your soul mate's name appear on your body on your eighteenth birthday would make it simple and clear cut.Nothing in John's life has ever been that simple.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and there isn't much more desperate than a Reaper Invasion. Anderson does what he has to and so does Kaidan.

I think I was just hit with some sort of... alien aphrodisiac. And that's how Major Kaidan Alenko found himself on a medically sanctioned mission to fuck the Commander's brains out. Literally.
