Mostly Tali/Shepard POV

I think we can all agree waking up as a guy in a woman's body would be jarring to say the least. Waking up as an asari? Horrifying. But waking up as what I had the incredible misfortune to be...

Contains violence and some mature themes.

This fic will deal with some potentially heavy themes and has spoilers for parts of the trilogy as a warning.

Commander John Shepard hunts down the rouge Spectre Saren. All he has ever cared about was the mission ever since a tragic day in his life. Ever since that day he's been afraid to let anyone get to close to him, afraid to make attachments. That is until a certain quarian engineer joins his crew.
