A troubled and renegade Commander Shepard meets her calming counterpart in Kaidan Alenko. As the galaxy falls apart around them, what will be their fate? Part One will cover some Pre-ME1 and ME1. *Warning, there will be angst.* Rated M for that one chapter before Ilos. Reviews appreciated.

Post Mass Effect 3: The Reapers are gone but the battle isn't over for Shepard or Kaidan. As Kaidan tries to bring the Normandy home he uncovers new enemies and struggle against his own demons, believing Shepard was destroyed with the Citadel. Shepard battles against her own body as she tries to recover from her injuries.

She cuts loose her life with the Reds and finds a new home in the Alliance as an elite agent with a terrifying reputation. One man sees through it all, and at last she understands what it is to have something you're afraid to lose. ME1-3, F!Shenko.

3rd story, following Escaping the Past, and Repairing the Present. My headcanon of Mass Effect 3, as Kaidan and Shepard struggle to unite the galaxy and reconnect against overwhelming odds, and Shepard's impending breakdown. There will be a happy ending!

ME2 up to ME3, follows Snapshots and Oligo. Shepard and Alenko each try to deal with their new-found situation, each trying to pick up the pieces of a life they lost when the Normandy went down. Note: More emotional exploration than action.

Part 1 of the 'No Strings Attached' saga. Shepard and Alenko meet each other on Trident while on shore leave. After a chance encounter leaves them instantly attracted to each other, they abandon all caution. No names, no dates, no strings attached. But once it's over, is it really over? Shenko. Pure fluff, no plot. You've been warned.

An expanded version of what happens after that dinner date on the Presidium. Rated M for language and mature themes.
