Songfic Series.

Will be doing a series of songfics for my friend Mik. From DAI, his Inquisitor Alik and Dorian.

Also Doing Dragon Age Fanfics Too.

And again, I don't own any of the Dragon Age games, EA Games does and owns their characters.

Love Birds.

(Fan fic for my friend Mik. Pairing is Mshenko. Falconer AU.)

"Sauberen käfig! Sauberen käfig!"

Kaidan sighed, rubbing his eyes for the millionth time as he heard his falcon screeching from the other room, incessantly. "I don't know what your saying, Mel!" Kaidan stated once again, hearing the bird respond, "Fütter mich! Sauberen käfig!"

Kaidan took up a job as a falconer, 'it'll be fun, birds are so intelligent' Kaidan laughed at this, he got stuck with a falcon that can speak but only in another language. Kaidan skimmed through the Yellow page book, hoping to come across anything that will help.

His finger stopped when he saw one that said, "Falconer 101, Lessons and Training for Beginner Falconers." Kaidan felt a wave of relief seeing this and went ahead and wrote down the information.

Taking the bracer from the hanger on the wall, Kaidan carefully opened the birdcage to allow his falcon Melinda to pitch on his arm. Luckily the place was only a few blocks down, a good way to get some excersize.

"Wohin gehen wir?"

Kaidan felt the onlooking watches of people passing by seeing the bird speak to her master, many of them utterly impressed asking more about Melinda. By the time Kaidan made it to the falconer center, he felt his insides scream as he saw the doors were locked.

"We're closed for the eve-"

Kaidan saw a man approach the doors, a bracer on his arm but no bird. Kaidan was more interested in the man he was talking to, how could a man this handsome possibly take up a job being a falconer.

"Ah, okay. I'll come back an-"

"No, no, its okay. Let me get the door for you."

Kaidan watched as the buzz cut haired man went and opened the door, letting in the two visitors. The two men stared at each other, only for a moment until Melinda broke the silence, "Ein Trainer?" The man gasped in surprise, "Wow, she's really intelligent! Yes I am, name's John Shepard." Shepard offered his hand which Kaidan gladly took and replied, "I'm Kaidan Alenko, and this is Melinda. She ca- wait you know what she said?"

"I learned to speak German from one of my old coworkers. You having some trouble with Melinda?" Kaidan was surprised, and worried. A man who is handsome and intelligent is always a threat. "Yeah, she always has an attitude and at times doesn't listen to me.. Maybe because she only understands German?" John thought to himself for a second before raising his arm, the falcon suddenly perching on the trainer's bracer.

Kaidan felt sort of left out as John and Melinda conversed in German. "You... Keep her in a cage?" John asked, almost stunned. "I thought birds were supposed to be in cages." Kaidan let out a sigh, "Hey, its okay. This happens sometimes with falconers. You don't keep a falcon in a cage, they need to be perched when theyre not on the bracer." Kaidan heard this and seeing how it made since.

"Unfortunately, she does only understand German."

Kaidan groaned, nodding. He had a feeling that's the case. "If you-uh.. If you want, I could... Teach you?" John said. Kaidan looked at him, was the man blushing? "That would be a huge help, how much?" John smiled, which made Kaidan's heart jump. "No, no. I'll do it free. When are you available?"

Two weeks went by, John came to Kaidan's house every afternoon for German lessons. Also, as an excuse to see the raven haired man. Lately, the two have been dropping hints. Such as the accidental brush of hands, the compliments, everything. Shepard decided to officially take the chance of asking the man out. He brought with him a two pound bag of bird seed for Mel. And a bouquet of flowers for Kaidan. Walking to his door, he looked at his watch and saw he was right on time.

Ringing the doorbell, be smiled hearing the routine "He's here!" from Melinda, amongst other things. The door opened to the sight of Kaidan soaking wet in a towel. "Ah, I'm sorry! Ijust got home and oh come in!" John took a moment to realize he was talking to him, as for he was sstaring at the man's almost nude body.

"I'll be just a sec. Sorry."

"Don't be, its no-uh trouble."

Sitting on the couch, Melinda was perched on her stand and immediately spotted the bag of feed as John reached up to tenderly stroke the falcon's head. Kaidan came back in wearing a pair of sweatpants and a tee-shirt. John couldn't help but admire the man's fit and slender body.

"I-i uh brought some feed, I thought-uh.. Here." John handed the sack to the other man, "Wow, thanks John. I was actually running low. You're a real lifesaver.. Oh, you uh have a date after this." Kaidan asked seeing the flowers, his heart dropping slightly at the idea of someone else already seeing him. "Actually, I was kind of hoping so."

"Hoping so?" Kaidan asked, then saw as John handed the flowers to him, "Yeah. You uh, will you go out with me sometime?" Kaidan was flabbergasted, as he saw the roses. "I uh.. Like you, Kaidan. And was wondering-" John was cut off as Kaidan took the roses and brought in John into a kiss. "Is that a yes?" John asked, when the kiss broke off. "Yeah, I've been racking my brain thinking of a way to ask you actually." John smiled and kissed the other man again, this time more passionate and heated.

There was no lesson, but let's just say Melinda learned something very entertaining that evening.

Yuel Tide Spectre.

(Fan fiction for my friend Mik, Pairing is Mshenko, featuring Mik's OC Shepard, Liam.)


It was Christmas Eve at the Shepard-Alenko household. Normally Kaidan would have expected a nice and quiet evening, but Liam insisted in throwing a party. And so, the large household was filled with familiar faces of friends and former colleagues.

Kaidan hummed along with the smooth 80's Christmas carol that was being played as he poured himself another round of eggnog. Stopping midway of bringing it to his mouth, the idea of either Liam or Jack, or both, spiking the drink was very possible, and decided to hold off on it to be safe.

'Speaking of which, where is he?' Kaidan thought to himself, but didn't have to look far as he suddenly heard the giggling screams of a child and a man's playful roar. He smiled warmly seeing their son Carver being chased by a playful, if not tipsy, Liam.

The nine year old boy went on giggling, driven by the overdosing effects of candy and cookies.

When the party had died down and everyone had left, except for Grunt who was too shitfaced to leave their shower, Kaidan closed the door to his son's room after tucking him in. "That kid might as well be the-"

Kaidan suddenly stopped when he heard music had been playing again, he rolled his eyes as he headed downstairs to turn it off. When he made it downstairs the music suddenly stopped, and something grabbed the biotic by the waist making him yelp.

Seeing the hands around his waist were Liams, he chuckled. "Still drunk? I had a feeling you spiked the nog." Kaidan felt himself being pulled towards the couch by his husband, who was too busy with taking off his husbands hideous Christmas sweater his mother had made for him.

"Kaidan... Come here and sit on Santy Claus' lap. Need to know if you've been a nice or naughty boy this year.." Liam said, drunkenly. Kaidan held back from laughing, even hammered the first spectre was still a classic charmer. 'Carver IS in bed, and Grunt... Well, Grunt is out..."

Kaidan seductively began peeling off his clothes, practically hearing Shepard mentally giggle like an excited child. He soon saw that the man was already nude, and Kaidan smiled making his way into Liam's lap.

Liam put on a Santa hat, "Have you been naughty or nice this year?" He asked, and his reply  was Kaidan giving him a heated and passionate kiss on the lips. 'Yeah, he's been good alright..' Shepard thought but suddenly felt the man stroke his cock and got up to service it, 'I take it back. Hes been very good.' Shepard moaned as Kaidan sucked him, but was soon stopped knowing his about to cum. "Time for my present?" Kaidan asked as he teased his husband grinding against him.

"OOOH YEAH!" Liam brought in Kaidan for another kiss as he felt Kaidan begin to ride him. 'VERY VERY GOOD' Liam thpught. Kaidan moaned out the other man's name as hr shot his load heavily on Liam's body, who thrust faster into Kaidan and climaxed into him. The two gasped heavily, breathing hard. Kaidan felt Shepard lay on top of him, smiling.

"Merry Christmas, Kaidan."

"Meet Christmas, Liam." Kaidan answered back, giving a kiss on the mans nose.

Loved Me Back To Life.

(Fanfiction for Mik, pairing is Mshenko. Based of of the song Loved Me Back To Life.)

Kaidan had faith.

He wasn't  a religious man, but he had faith. He looked down at the legend of a man in the hospital bed, every inch of his body wrapped in bandage tape and covered in Medi-gel. Underneath the skin, every nerve and tissue was on the road to recovery.

Its been three months since the entire galaxy had been saved once again by Commander Shepard. And, hopefully for the last time. Kaidan knew, regardless of what the reports said, that his lover was alive. Even after he had placed John's name on the monument on the Normandy, he still believed.

Only minutes after that, a message came through the overhead speakers. A message that made the major truly break into tears. Tears of joy.

Commander Shepard has been found. And he was alive.

He didn't look it, however. Kaidan charged godspeed to the medic team in charge of his transport to the Huerta Solvus Hospital, and the sight of the man he ever loved mortified him. The man barely had any skin on his body, and what was there was charred an ugly black. A huge gash was replaced to where his left eye was. His right arm wasn't there.

But Kaidan had faith.

He prayed to a God he never believed in, hoping he would be answered. Three months, the biotic never left Shepard's side. Through the operations, the transplants, everything. He was there.

Kaidan jumped slightly as he felt John's fingers fold into his. "J-John?"

"Ghmm."

"John.. Can you hear me, babe? God, please say something....."

Kaidan got just that.

"Ow."

Kaidan blinked, before he, for the first time in three months, broke into laughter.

I was walking dead, stuck inside my head
I couldn't get out, turn the lights down
The voices inside were so loud
Need a jump-start, catatonia
I couldn't feel, I wish that I could disappear
The voices inside were so real

But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night

You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, the wait is over
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, we're lovers again tonight

You woke me up one touch, and I felt alive
You loved me back to life, back to life
Thought I died, the voices inside were so quiet

But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night

You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, the wait is over
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, we're lovers again tonight

Strong hand, thick skin and an open heart
You saw through the pain, saw through the mask
You never gave up on me

You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, the wait is over
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma, we're lovers again tonight

Lyrics from Celine Dion's, "Loved Me Back To Life."

Hero.

(Fanfic for my friend Mik. Pairing is Young! Mshenko.)

John smiled as he walked home from school, looking forward to a very exciting weekend. Kaidan's parents had a business meeting all the way out on Virmire, which would leave the Alenko household under the biotic's care. For two weeks. Alone with Shepard and his boyfriend.

The two have been datng for almost seven months, call it love at first sight. The buzz cut teen still remembers that day vividly. During P.E. he saw Kaidan for the first time in sweat shorts and a tee, John had the hardest time not admiring the Canadian's ass. In the locker room, the boy apparently had forgotten to bring a spare shirt with him and John gave him his with the most charming smile he could make.

The two had a biology assignment together, and Shepard may have slipped when he accidentally said that the other boy was beautiful. It was a few seconds of silence after the words were said. John was afraid the boy would either get up and walk away and never speak to him again, or just laugh it off and pretend it never happened.

He didn't quite expect a third option to be taken.

"Nowhere near as you are." The raven haired teen said. Then, history was made. They kissed. John initiated the kiss. Kaidan was nervous but instantly gave into it.

John was so far gone in reminiscing about the two's first kiss, he had no idea that he had a group of boys follow him. It was only when John looked up, he was brought back to reality as a baseball bat swung against the boy's head, knocking him down. "What the FUCK!!?" The group of five teens just bawled in laughter, as another swing was delivered to his shoulder, John gave a painful scream. He noticed that his attackers were those from his school, the same ones who had been practically tormenting him and Kaidan since they came out together. It seemed the group were the only ones who saw their relationship as anything but acceptable.

"Hit that faggot again, dude!" One of them said, practically cheering. Which he did aiming right for Shepard's stomach. John tried getting up on his knees as he coughed up blood with a most horrid sound. "FUCK!" John yelled being kicked back on to the ground, a blow from the bat delivered straight to the head.

The mob screeched in laughter watching as the bloodied and crippled John began to lose consciousness. His final moments conscious were ones of screaming, but not his. Two of the boys had been hit by a biotic grenade, sending them soaring screaming. Shepard saw the biotic was burning blue from head to toe as he charged towards the remaining three boys.

"JOHN!! DONT CLOSE YOUR EYES!!" Kaidan cried, bringing John into his arms sobbing as he opened his omni tool, calling 911. Shepard woke up suddenly to the surroundings of a hospital room. He looked at himself, he was really fucked up. He couldn't help but overhear voices outside the door.

"Four broken ribs, a broken shoulder, a broken collarbone, and he has major swelling on the left side of his head."

"Sons of bitches, I'll have them locked up for this!"

"Will he be okay?"

"Yes, he will. But he will need to stay here for a few weeks at most, in order to make a full recovery. If any of you want to se-"

"Yes!! Please!"

"Go on in dear, your father and I will be here."

John heard the sound of the door open and close, Kaidan made his way around the large curtain and saw his boyfriend, bandaged and all, looking at him smiling a sad smile. "John! Oh, god!" Kaidan immediately hurried to John, bring him in his arms with a reply of "owowowow"

Kaidan suddenly stopped, remembering the other boy's condition. "Shit! I'm sorry!" Kaidan softly took Shepards hands as he began sobbing. "No no no, come here babe. Come here." John winced in slight pain as he wrapped his arms around Kaidan, tenderly kissing him. "I'm sorry!! I-I should've ran faster!!" Kaidan cried into John chest, who only rocked him back and forth shushing him.

"Kaidan. I'd take a beating any day, as long as its not you."

"Don't. Say that! Don't say that!" John smiled laying his head on top of the biotic's. Kaidan stayed every night and day in that room, by his boyfriends side. Shepard couldn't be more proud of his hero of a boyfriend.

Alliance High: Part Five.

Osir was surprised at the number of people were in the pool yard. Even more so when he met them all. There was Grunt's older brothers Wrex and Wreav, Wrex's girlfriend Eve. Jack was there, he was glad that he was able to let her know that he wasn't bothered with what happened at Apollos. She was there with her girlfriend, Miranda. There was Jacob and his girlfriend Brynn, Kolyat, Kasumi and her boyfriend Keiji. Of course, Rev was there with Kaidan. There was Joker with EDI, who he hoped would be alright with being at a pool being a synthetic and all.

Yet, while they were all out having fun eating and enjoying his pool, Osir was still inside. "Osir? You okay, buddy?" Rev called knocking on the bathroom door. "I uh um y-yeah. Maybe. No. Too many people." He was starting to sound like Mr. Solus. "Well, they're all our friends and you already met them. Come on, besides you have that big lug of a boyfriend there on the barbeque pit." Osir was silent in the bathroom before he finally opened the door, a towel around his waist. "Yeah. Yeah okay lets do this."

"Who wants a hot dog?" James called out, seeing Jack already there with a plate ready. "Yeah, no surprise." Jack eyed him, "Put the damn wiener on my plate, before I rip yours off." Knowing that she probably would, he did as she asked and tended to the burgers.

"Who-Who...Who...wow." The tongs fell from his hand as soon as he saw his boyfriend. He had no idea he had a body like THAT, slim with a six pack. Jacob tapped his shoulder, "Yo, Vega. Need some help or you just gonna let them burn?" James hearing this suddenly realized he was letting the meat burn and picked up the tongs and wiped them down. Passing them to Jacob, he went off to see Osir. Osir saw James and thought he would faint from blood loss. This giant Greek god in a pair of blue speedos. While he was in a simple pair of black swimming trunks. "What?" Osir asked laughing giving James a kiss. "You. Look. Fucking. Hot." James said slowly. "Well, you're not one to talk, Adonis." James smirked flexing, hearing someone telling them to get a room.

"We will later, how does that sound?" James asked. "Sounds dandy, now make me a burger." Osir answered giving James' round ass a slap.

Alliance High: Part Four.

Osir slowly woke to the feeling of pumped arms around his waist seeing James holding him. As much as he wanted to let the man sleep in, he could fight the temptation of kissing him. A kiss on the lips, slow and soft, turned heated as he woke up. Thank god today was Saturday. Before they went any further, Osir stopped him. "What? What is it?" James asked confused. "What does this make us?" James was still confused. "I think its pretty clear what this makes us. But... mmman do I got to do it the formal way?" James sighed looking at Osir. "Osir Shepard, will you... Be my boyfriend?" James felt and sounded stupid, one night of making out and he wanted to be in a relationship. He stopped worrying when he heard him say, "Yes. Yes I will! Are you kidding me?" James suddenly pounced on Osir kissing him over his neck.

Then Osir's phone rang, which made both men groan in disappointment. Seeing the black device on the stand, he quickly answered it before seeing who it was. "Hello?" He asked, James curling his arms around Osir. "Hey its Rev, you make it home okay last night?' He forgot to let Rev know he got home, "YYes, I did. I'm still at ho Oooome." There was a silence on the other end before Rev asked his cousin, "James there?" Oh he could just see the brunette's smirk. "Wwwhy why wou-would youuu ask that?" James made it over uncomfortable talking on the phone with him sucking and licking his neck. "Caan I ca-call you back?" Osir asked, feeling his neck being bitten gently. "Yeah, why don't you do that?" He hung up on Rev who was laughing.

"So much for the subtle approach." James commented, chuckling. "Well, they were going to find out anyway. I just hope the rest of the school..." Osir suddenly stopped, he didn't even think about what the school body would think of their relationship. "Relax. This community is actually LGBT friendly. A lot of students at school are gay. Hell, even a couple of people in my football team have a boyfriend." Osir was surprised, but relieved at the same time. "What do you want to do today?" Osir asked, looking up at James. Thinking about it for a minute, he had an idea. "Why not.... A.... Pool party?"

The idea was a good one. Why not? After all, it would be a good chance to get to know everybody better."Yeah." James was surprised, "Yeah?" He asked, "Yeah." Osir repeated. "I call Rev, I think he knows what to do with parties and all." James hopped up, "I'll go run and get some food. Won't take long." Osir reached for his wallet, but was stopped when James put his hand over it. "Nuh-uh. My idea I'm paying." Osir's red eyes rolled with a "Fine."

Alliance High: Part Three.

James took a moment of silence to look at the inside of the house. It was... Nice? It wasn't anything he would expect a penthouse to look like. There was a couch, a couple chairs with a plasma screen TV on the wall. He noticed the floor was tiled, warm. That's all there was in the living room. No fancy speaker systems, no display cases. Simple. The kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were the same. Then there was the pool in the back. Oh man, the pool. James stood in front of one of the massive windows overlooking the pool. It was amazing.

"Soda?" Osir asked coming up to him, a coke in each hand. "Sure, thanks." The tattooed teen gladly took one of the cans and opened it, enjoying the view. "This place is huge. I mean fucking HUGE. But uh, kind of..."

"Empty? Simple? Yeah, I know. This used to be my grandparents' house." Osir said, James taking another sip of his drink. "Was your mom wealthy? Sorry." James realized he asked a question that lowered his chances of winning him over. But Osir just smiled, "Its okay. My grandparents were. The were descendants of a long line of established and successful people. They wanted it to keep going and had planned for an arranges marriage, but."

"She didn't?" Osir nodded having more of his drink. "She fell in love with a bartender, from Terra Nova I think, Mom never liked the life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams. So imagine her parents faces when they got the news." James mouth made an 'oh' and hissed, "They must have been downright pissed." Osir shrugged, "Grandpa was, but Grandma said she should be with whoever made her happy. When they died, they left this house for her in their will. And then when she died, well... She did the same for me."

"What about your dad?" James asked, curious. "I don't know, he walked out on my mother about a month before I was born. She never told me about him, and I never really asked." An award silence followed, the two just stood there looking out until Osir spoke up. "Mom loved to swim. She said it made her feel like the world's troubles just washed off her body whenever she went swimming. You want to see her?" The question confused James. See her? "Oh, sure."

The two went upstairs into a grand bedroom, apparently Osir's. There was a photo on his bedstand and picked it up to show him. "Wow. She's really gorgeous." The woman in the photo had long curly black hair and red ruby eyes. Soft lips and a face only an angel could wear. She had tribal looking tattoos downs her left arm. "What was her name?" James asked seeing Osir smile, "Alicia." He answered. James took a moment to look at the photo one more time before handing it back to the raven haired teen. "Now I know where you get your good looks from."

"With all this flirting, surely you have a girlfriend?" Osir finally asked, getting it off of his chest. "No, I don't, and I don't plan on ever having one." James said, reassuringly. "There was this guy back at my old school... He would throw a couple lines at me, telling me how good looking I am or I'm cute when he sees me. I thought maybe he wanted to have something with me. So one day I went up to him and asked."

"What happened?" James' expression softened. He sat down on the bed with Osir. "I went up to him and asked him, he turned around with who was apparently his girlfriend and said "Hey baby, this is that faggot I told you about." Everyone bawled laughing." James saw the boy clench his fists. "I didn't know that. But, I wouldn't do that. Ever. I like you." James' mouth quickly shut when the words slipped out. Osir looked at him, eyes wide. "What?" James had no idea what to say, so he didn't think before he acted. He grabbed the other teen's waist and pulled him into a kiss. Osir thought he was going to melt as he encouraged the kiss.

Tonight was a good night.

Alliance High: Part Two.

Students gathered their belongings as the last bell of the day rang. Stepping out of his last period of the day, Osir saw Rev and Kaidan walk up to him. "So, what did you think?" Rev asked. "Mr. Solus, was quite the..... Uh.... Character." In all honesty, the salarian's speech patterns were so odd and he went by so fast he was fortunate he was able to get all of his notes down. "When does the man find the time to breathe?" Osir asked, the three laughing. "Oh, hey. Osir, we're going to meet up with the others at Apollo's. You coming?" Kaidan asked, the resturaunt was known for having the world's greatest burgers. "Yeah, you bet. When are we going to head over?" Kaidan looked down at his watch, reading 4:05. "James is gonna pick us up." The brunette could have sworn he saw the faintest of the color pink on Osir's face.

A black truck pulled up into the parking lot of the school with the horn blowing a couple times, Rev muttering "showoff." The passenger door opened, with the driver hollering "New guy gets shotgun!" Osir raised an eyebrow getting in, "I have a name you know." James chuckled and nodded seeing the other two boys climb into the back. "Only because he wants you there." Kaidan stated, being shushed by his boyfriend. "So, the others already there?" Rev asked, pulling out his iPhone. "Yep, already there." The muscular one answered.

Pulling up to the small blue joint, the Apollo's sign standing high, James parked into his usual spot and hopped out. Osir saw Grunt, the only one of the three he met today. "You're late, fuckface!" James rolled his eyes, flipping off the girl. She has tattoos, way WAY more than James. "Ahh, you must be Shep's cousin? Osir, right?" She asked, getting up from the booth. "Nice to meet you, uh.."

"Jack." The bald headed girl said, "Call her anything else and she'll gut you like a fish." The turian behind her said, in a humorous yet mocking manner, "I'm Garrus Vakarian, nice to meet you Osir." Garrus said, shaking hands with Osir. "I'll order. I already know what you guys want, what do you want me to get for you Osir?" James said, pulling out his wallet.

"Oh, no I'll pay!" Osir offered, but James already had out the money with a look saying 'I got this' Osir gave in. "Number 3.. And a coke." James nodded and gave a wink before heading up to the counter. "Looks like muscles' already making moves on you." Jack said. Was he? Osir never really was any good with picking up signals. "So, what do you think of the dump we call Vancouver?" She asked. Osir shrugged, "I have no problem with it." He saw James come back to the table with a tray with their orders, hands reaching for their orders but stopped when James yelled over them, "Hey Hey Hey! Let Osir get his." Which he did, losing no time drinking his soda.

They weren't kidding when they said that they had the world's best burgers. It definitely hit the spot. "You have someone to pick you up? I'll drop you off." James asked. "Oh, thanks. That be great. Nah, I live alone." Jack's last fry fell out of her mouth, "Shit! Lucky!" There was an uneasy silence following that, "I'm gonna take you up on that offer." Osir said, getting up to empty his tray. "Sweet! I mean, no prob." Following suit, the remaining three just sat at the table. The boys glaring at Jack. "Smooth, real fucking smooth." Kaidan said.
"What? What's your damage?" Jack asked. After hearing what happened from Rev, a string of curses fell from her mouth.

The drive home was quiet, peaceful even. James worried if what Jack said bothered the other teen. "Hey. Sorry about Jack. She doesn't know when to shut the fuck up sometimes." Osir smiled, "Nah, I'm not bothered by it. I'm was just ready to head home." James looked at the place where Osir directed him to. Looking in disbelief. "Whoa Woah!!" James said, getting out. Osir lives in a fucking penthouse? "Want to come in?" Osir invited, opening the door. Smiling, James accepted this offer without a second thought.

Alliance High: Part One.

(High School AU fan fiction for starfleetspectre. Pairings are Mshenko and Mshega. With her OC Shepard, Rev and my OC Shepard Osir.)

Osir stepped off the bus and immediately heard someone ask, "Osir!? Is that you, man!?" The raven haired teen smiled as he saw his brunette cousin, Rev. "Revamp! Its good to see you again!" Osir said, bringing him in for a hug. "Its just Rev. Anyway, what do you think of the place?" Osir smiled, the school was nice. A lot nicer than his last school that's for sure. The two boys made their way into the hallways catching up. "How are you holding up?" Rev asked.

"I'm fine. I know she's in a better place now." He answered with a short smile. Alicia, Osir's mother, died two months ago from a drive by shooting. He and his mother were very close, especially since there was no father at home. The two decided not to touch the subject again. "So, what do you make of Vancouver? Not exactly like Brooklyn, huh?" Osir laughed, not anything like New York but it was nice.

Making their way to the cafeteria, they approached a table where only two people were at. One of them looked up, "Hey Rev." The black haired boy said giving the brunette a kiss. He saw Osir and a smile came across his face, "You must be Osir. I'm Kaidan, its nice to finally meet you." Kaidan said. "Hey, same here." Osir returned the favor. The other occupant at the table, a krogan, was busy devouring the last of the chips in the bag and throwing it into the trash can. "This is Grunt." Rev said, motioning to the said krogan who stood up and walked up to Osir. He stood over him, growling almost, and looking into his red eyes.

Osir stared right back into his, not blinking. "Your cousin's creepy, Rev." Grunt said, backing up making them laugh. "Hey, sorry! Football ran on late for morning practice." A voice said coming up behind them. Turning around, a large muscled student with tattoos fist bumped Rev, and looked to his black haired relative. "Oh, you're Osir, right? Loco's told us a lot about you. I'm James, James Vega." James greeted, extending a strong arm out to the red eyed teen who gladly took it. "Nice to meet you too."

"So, who do you have first period?" Rev asked, pointing to the schedule sheet in Osir's hands. Looking at the list, he read out loud, "Ms. T'soni. History 2." James smiled, "Same here, I'll show you the way." The larger teen said, who looked at Osir nodding. 'Dios mio, he's cute. I hope he doesn't have a girlfriend.' The quarterback and wrestling captain thought to himself. "Let me know how it goes!" Rev called out as the two boys left. "I will!" Osir called back.

"So, where did you move from?" James asked as they made their way to the room. "New York." James' eyes widened, "I grew up there. Which part?" He asked, surprised. "Brooklyn, Bed Stuy." James was again surprised, "How did we miss each other, I'm from there too." They continued to talk as they sat next to each other in class. Osir listened as James told him how he moved here with his uncle when his father died from lung cancer.

The sound of the school bell rang throughout the campus, hallways emptied and doors closed shut. Walking in was an asari, apparently the teacher. "We have a new student who starts school here today. Everyone give a warm welcome for Osir Shepard." The instructor announced and immediately the eyes of his fellow classmates were on him. "Uh, hi." Was all Osir could manage to say as he pulled out his notebook and textbook from his backpack. This was going to be a long day.

Taking The Varren For A Stroll.

(Fan fiction for starfleetspectre. Pairing is Mshenko.)

Shepard poured himself a fresh cup of coffee, the aromas of freshly brewed coffee filling his nostrils. Savoring each sip as it woke him up. Definitely, way better than the shit they called coffee back on the Normandy.

He suddenly heard Kaidan call for him from the hallway. Making his way there he saw his biotic boyfriend and pet varren at the front door. "Hmmm?" The man asked, taking another sip of his coffee. Seeing Kaidan holding Shocktop's leash, he immediately groaned.

"Your turn." The major said plainly, handing John the leash. He looked at the varren, her eyes wide and her tail happily wagging. "Fine. Okay." Shepard sighed as he finished his coffee, putting on Shock's leash. "Be back in a while." The buzz cut man said to his smiling lover, giving him a kiss before heading out.

Shock Top trotted down the sidewalk, the two at a steady pace. It was a peaceful day, the sun was out in a cloudless sky. However, John stopped when he saw Shock Top frozen in her tracks and staring widely at a stray cat in their path. Immediately, Shepard knew where this would lead. "Shock, be cool gi- Shock Top-" the varren suddenly ran after the cat with a spectre on the other end of the leash, yelling "SHOCK TOP!!!" for four blocks down.

An hour later, they returned home. Kaidan saw Shock Top walk in happily without a care. As to a dirt covered John Shepard, muttering and cursing under his breath as he undid the pet's leash.

Alien Babies 101.

(Fanfiction for starfleetspectre. Pairing is Mshenko with her OC Shepard, Rev.)

The commander stood there, expressionless, as he held the squirming giggling baby krogan in his hands. Rev wasn't exactly a "baby person." He had no problem with defeating geth primes, managed to destroy a collector base and even save the galaxy from extinction. So, the favors in fighting on the battlefield were always in Shepard's hands. Good thing a baby wasn't.

"Rev, the poor kid's going to lose his first pair of lungs before even knowing. Put out the cigarette." Kaidan said, but had already snatched the cancer stick from the man's lips before he could object. Eve watched Rev hold her child, as if he had never seen a baby before in his life, an alien one no less.

"Shepard, he's not a weapon. He won't shoot you."

"At least not yet, perhaps. He IS Wrex's child after all." Eve said chuckling under her breath. Hard to believe that this was their twelfth child. "I imagine when you two have a child one day, he will probably do the same thing with it." Wrex added.

Suddenly, the infant was still in the man's arms as they both looked towards the spectators. "Wait, Kaidan what's she talking about?" Rev asked, confused and worried. They make do with having a pet varren, NO way was the first human spectre ready to be a father anytime soon.

The Magic Of Alcohol.

(fanfiction for starfleetspectre. Pairing is of human wrex and human grunt.)

Wrex slowly woke from his sleep, with it the feeling of a tsunami hangover. 'Shepard throws one hell of a party.' the red tipped man thought, rubbing his eyes. He felt a heavy weight lay on top of him, that weight was none other than Grunt.

Wrex suddenly remembered the man pouring the clan leader shots, a mischievous grin the entire time. "Don't you have anything better to do? Not that I mind the drinks." Wrex said after putting the shot glass down and burping. "Go let one of those screamin' girls in. Get laid." Grunt wore a suspicious grin, "That's what I'm goin for with you."

Grunt took his turn of a shot, slamming it done. "Ya ain't half bad good looking yourself, kiddo." Wrex said, smirking.

Everything else afterwards was lost to him, "Well I'll be goddamned." The red tipped man muttered with a smile, running a hand through Grunt's brown hair.

Artpop Challenge: Gypsy.

Rev couldn't sleep after their recent mission. He watched Kaidan, who was sound asleep. He's been thinking. Is what they have just something to comfort each other, tell them they are there for them at the end of the day. Shepard brushed a hand on the biotic's cheek, the man had soft skin despite all of the war going on.

Kaidan's eyes slowly opened "Mmmm?" He yawned. "Hey, sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." Rev said with a smile. Kaidan smiled saying, "You don't have it in you to wake me before missions though." Kaidan chuckled a little and saw that look of worry in the other man's eyes. "What's up?" Rev took a moment to ask, "What'll happen to us after this?"

Kaidan was a little taken back. He loved the man, but didn't really have the time to sit down and discuss their plans for the future together. "Well.." Kaidan began pulling in the brown haired man to him. "I have some property back home. Great natural feel, view of the river. Though, I imagine that will need some improvement when this is all over." Rev smiled hearing the man.

"We'll most likely get a dog, and have a huge kitchen with bacon, and steak... Every room will be huge, actually. We'll need ground rules for when Grunt or Wrex comes to visit. Which I imagine will be many. And we're going to live the fuck happily ever after. I don't plan on doing otherwise." Kaidan finished with a full smile.

Shepard liked this plan.

Sometimes a story has no end
Sometimes I think we can just be friends
"Cause I'm a wandering man" he said to me
And what about our future plans?
Does this thing we have even make sense?
When I got the whole world in front of me

Lyrics from Gypsy by Lady Gaga.

Artpop Challenge: Dope.

"Loco?"

James wandered through the dark room of the commander's cabin, the only sources of light were the phantom blue of the fish tank and the blinking colors of the monitors. It had been three hours since they had left Thessia, or what was left of it. The whole crew had taken it hard, but nothing compared to Liara.

James didn't hear any response but found the commander on the floor beside the bed, a data pad in his hand. "What the hell was I thinking saying all of that?" Osir said. James kneeled down slowly and then sat down next to him. "I practically said that once I got the artifact that the reapers would be gone." James pulled the black haired man to him, "Its fuckin' Cerberus fault. The pendejo Kai Leng. You did everything you could've."

Shepard sighed leaning his head against the man's chest. "It doesn't matter now, in the asari's eyes, I'm just someone who gave them something false to have faith in. What do I do then when it fails? I haul ass."

James heard of how Liara had went on a rampage, venting her anger on Javik. "Just give em' time, babe." James said folding his arms around Osir's waist. They stayed like that for hours, in the dark.

Cork's off, it's on
The party's just begun
I promise this drink is my last one
I know I fucked up again
Cause I lost my only friend
God forgive my sins

Lyrics from Dope by Lady Gaga.

Artpop Challenge: Do What U Want.

Osir tackled James onto the mattress, kissing him as his hands caressed the muscles that blanketed the other man's body. He heard the mohawked man moan when his hands slid under his shirt and rubbed his large pecs. Meanwhile James was undoing the belt buckle and pants off of Osir before his shirt was taken off.

Both men soon were fully nude and kissing passionately with Osir on top of the lieutenant, both men's hands reaching the other's bodies. Osir was flopped over on his back now as James took his time, circling his tounge around the commander's nipples as a hand rubbed the abs. The panting slowly grew heavier when the tattooed man brought his mouth towards Shepard's erection, leaving his fingers in the spectre's mouth.

"Happy to see me down here?" James asked playfully, licking the tip of Osir's penis. "Very happy.." Osir answered as he moaned feeling James slowly suck him, while looking into the eyes of the man he was servicing. Moaning while sucking his fingers, James took the man's length deeper. Osir's moaning increased when his length was entirely swallowed, seeing the mariner's head bobbing up and down.

James slid his fingers from Shepard's mouth and brought it to his ass. Slowly massaging and circling it, continuing to suck his boyfriend. Osir held back from jolting when a finger slowly began to enter and exit him. Bringing their lips together again, James used a second finger, scissoring him slowly before adding a third. James knew he was ready when Osir moaned his name through their kiss and slowly mounted the man on top of him.

Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, he slowly descended onto James' erection feeling it enter him with each of the ten inches. All the way in, the two men felt the electricity of ecstacy course throughout their bodies. James brought their faces in closer together and began to thrust at a steady pace. James felt Osir's warm breath on his face and looking into his red eyes. James loved that color of red. Like magma filled rubies. Increasing speed, Osir became vocal as he wrapped his legs and arms around him while the thrusting accelerated to faster speeds. With one last kiss, Osir got off and knew James was now about to climax. Kissing him and rubbing his chest, James came immensely calling his lover's name while he did the same thing.

Osir collapsed on top of James whose arms snaked around his waist. "Round six in fifteen?" James asked kissing Osir's forehead who just laughed, thinking he was only joking. He wasn't.

You can't have my heart 
And you wont use my mind
But do what you want 
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice 
Cause you don't own my life but
Do what you want with my body
Do what you want with my body

Lyrics to Do What U Want by Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly.

Artpop Challenge: Venus.

Shepard walked through the VIP entry to Purgatory, the sound of blaring music only clarifying as he arrived into the core of the area. With the council being picky in helping the alliance, Osir needed a drink. He remembered Vega's suggestion from back on the Embassies, meeting him for a drink. He received glances from people that said 'oh god its really him!' that prove that people forget so easily that he's still human.

"Hey, Commander!" A voice called out. Osir turned around to see James at the bar, beer in hand. He nodded to the man seeing him, "James, how's the eye doing?" He asked the larger man. Their 'dance' left Vega with a nasty black eye, so no more shuttle collisions for him. "Doing good. Saw the interview with Kalisah." Shepard rolled his eyes as he was handed a beer from the bartender, "She needs to learn to grow the fuck up." He stated taking some of his drink.

James nodded. For a while, it was awkward silence until the muscled man finally said, "Wanna dance? For real this time?" Osir groaned, "I can't dance." James refrained from laughing his ass off. The man can save the galaxy but can't dance? "Well, I do. And I need me a partner." Shepard heard this and looked around the room, "There are plenty of lovely ladies in here." Shepard answered finishing his beer. James just answered with, "Don't want em."

"Come on, I'll teach you. You're only what, 41?" Osir punched him in the arm playfully, "29, way off." James chuckled replying, "Just a few years off." The two finally made it to the dance floor, following to a new song. "You're....not uh.... That bad....." James was at a loss for words seeing the other man trying to rhythmically entertain himself. "Yeah, in fact I'm worse." James thought to himself for a minute then stated, "You just need some passion, Loco!" The black haired man was surprised to hear those words come out of that mouth. "Passion?" He asked, seeing the man draw him in.

"Yeah.. Passion, like this." Slowly James and Osir's faces came together with a kiss, which quickly became deepened as Osir's hips rocked to the beat emitting to the bass. "I see. Passion, I can work with this." Osir said between kisses, chuckling.

When you touch me I die
Just a little inside
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love
Because you're out of this world
Galaxy, space and time
I wonder if this could be love
This could be love

Lyrics to Venus by Lady Gaga.

Artpop Challenge: MANiCURE.

"Imma dance."

Kaidan and Joker went pale as they heard these words come from the commander's mouth. Rev may have had way too much alcohol in him to think he can dance. "Ann' your common' with me." Rev slurred taking Kaidan's arm. "Bust a move out there! I'll just be sitting here with my beer! Watching!" Joker said watching one drunk commander and one drunk major leave to the dancefloor.

The two soon found themselves in an ocean of packed dancing bodies. "Oh yeah, you're definitely drunk." Kaidan declared to the smirking drunk Shepard. "Mmmmmm you smell good, new cologne?" The brown haired man asked. Then, Rev began grinding up against the biotic, erotic and making them moan.

"Rev, n-not here." Kaidan whispered. "No one's gonna look, and no one's gonna care." Shepard replied as he bucked his hips against Kaidan, their hard erections throbbing. "Rev...I-If you keep doing that.." Kaidan moaned with the other man, kissing sloppily but heatedly. "Ah!" Kaidan shot in his jeans after a last grinding from Shepard, who also came in his pants. "You happy now?" Kaidan asked, the man's arm thrown around his shoulders. No response came as the commander was out cold. "Well, we're going to have a talk about this in the morning." Kaidan said to the unconscious man as he helped him out of the club, leaving Joker.

Touch me in the dark
Put your hands all over my body parts
Throw me on the bed
Squeeze, tease, and please me that's what I said
I'm the chick who's 
Been coming around to lovin you
You're the medicine, I need to heal
The way, the way you make me feel

Lyrics from MANiCURE by Lady Gaga.

Artpop Challenge: Aura.

James Vega could very well tell about his relationship with the commander. He knows things, parts and sides of Osir that most don't. He remembers his uncle once telling him about how everyone has a different aura, an energy about them. Well, even though the lieutenant wasn't exactly seeing the idea, he did know that the raven haired man would have one hell of an aura.

He does know that Osir can beat his high score on the Citadel and be a gentleman about it. He definitely can not dance or sing, but can can really hold his booze. He grew up in the projects in Houston. James knows he reads novels that others can barely understand the concept of. He learns to hold back from laughing every time the spectre tells of his childhood nightmare of the peacock. Or anything peacock related.

What James knows is that Osir is a man he would gladly pummel shuttles into to prove himself to him, and get beat up if he ever did so again in his life. Vega knows that for the past two months they've been dating, even with this war going on, he still has the thought of marriage in mind. If James had had to choose an aura, it would probably be platinum. The one color that never loses it's streak or shine.

Except when the commander is attempting to cook something.

Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the covers?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, cosmic lover?
Do you wanna peak underneath the covers?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
