Sequel to Match Made In Purgatory. Councilor Tevos's secret marriage to Aria T'Loak becomes public, and she heads for Thessia to deal with the fallout while trying to avoid the press and her mother. But when an old enemy resurfaces and Tevos is kidnapped, Aria is forced to go after her new bondmate with the help of Shepard, Liara, and several members of the Normandy's former crew.

Shepard/Liara romance featuring my 'canon' Shepard, Rachel. This story originally was to take place exclusively after the Battle of the Citadel, but I decided to go back to an earlier point in the story and show the growing relationship.
