A Humble Suggestion version 2 is done.
notable differences from the version still here on tumblr include: Aria ends up liking being slapped, and Tevos kinda gets into doing it. (both versions still saucy)
Mmmm, otp fics is best fics :D
Great work.
aria armor sketches
Some more color practice! And actually, I needed an excuse to draw Aria if you know what I mean ;;;)
DUN DUN DUNNN guess what I’ve been obsessing over for the last few weeks, heh. Anyway, this is a WIP, obviously. Aria x Tevos, nom nom. Slightly inspired by the wonderful fic of Rae Magdon, slightly a product of my own evil plotties that have been hopping around for days now. might even write a fanfic of my own someday. when I’m not lazy as fuck, I guess. anyway, enjoy. :3

Why do you play Aria as gay when she's straight?
[ X : ||
Any how Tevos and Aria’s wedding is in 3 weeks.
Truthfully....
This is stupid lol.
Aria does indeed prefer women over men. If the kiss scene in the Omega DLC have anything to say about it, how her reaction after kissing manshep describes anything. Her relationship with Nyreen Kandros, and so on and so forth.
The reaction between femshep and maleshep is vastly different, as she obviously instantly regret kissing maleshep, and have absolutely no regrets kissing femshep.
So calling her ‘straight’ is by my opinion completely ignorant to the fact that these things does nothing but prove that she prefers women.
Don’t f*ck with Aria

@asaricouncilor
the council is my favorite dysfunctional friend group (insp)
vasirs :
❝ got it , councilor . ❞ her words and step fell behind tevos , letting her lead to the departure point . tela vasir could readily admit that councilor tevos , out of her normal attire , was abnormal in every sense . of course , that alone sparked suspicions —- though it could have simply been a means of disguise , she couldn’t but wonder why . in addition to hurried remarks , and the hush-hush nature of everything , she had questions about the impromptu assignment but saved them for later .
when she stopped at the councilor’s side , tela hazard a cautious look at their surroundings , seemingly vacant , cleared preemptively . she let the councilor get in the sky car first , allowing herself one last cautious gaze to the parking pad before entering herself . ❝ so that briefing . ❞ she said , skycar lifting from it’s spot to head to keyed in destination , ❝ should i expect it now or later ? ❞ tela’s concern was a matter of expectations , as in she wasn’t sure if she should have them , or what to expect exactly . being in the dark on something that was so covert wasn’t exactly something she liked . though her parameters were simply put along the liens of escort/bodyguard , that wasn’t enough .
❝ i mean the utmost respect, but i don’t like being in the dark , councilor . ❞ especially when a councilor’s life rested on her shoulders and her shoulders alone . as a spectre , she didn’t really think that any actual conjunction with the councilors would become a mission in itself . from what she gathered from the first few assignments was that they relayed a concern , and by proxy , she investigated it to find a solution and quell concerns . this was —— too close , different from skating the edges of council space in the underbelly of the galaxy .
The secrecy was a big on Tevos’s part, sure thing she knew how to make someone disappear, even if it was herself, but there was a good reason why she had false information leaked that the Asari Councilor had fallen ill and was quarantined within her own private home. Not even the other Council members questioned it, and they too was outside the loop of truth that Tevos was in fact headed off the Citadel.
And she had one other matter to handle, to explain herself to Tela Vasir, her most trusted Spectre, with information that was so valuable that in the wrong hands it could mean the downfall of the Asari within the Galactic community.
As she plotted a course towards a rather civilian looking ship, Tevos pulled her hands away from the holographic controls and let her breathing finally relax. She inhaled deeply, and never took her eyes off the plotted course as she clenched her fists on the armrest of the skycar.
“Our travel will take us back to Thessia, where I as well as a small handful of high ranking officials of the High Command, have been summoned to partake in a crisis meeting. And this goes to the very top of our government. And as representative on the Citadel, I am the living embodiment of the Asari voice in the galactic community. And..... this is very hard to explain to you Tela, but if what I think have happened did happen. There is no telling if our voice in the galaxy will hold any weight any longer.”
She didn’t go down to any hard details yet, a crisis meeting, highest of officials, domestic Asari matters. It was all she needed to know for now, at least that’s what Tevos thought, for even in a private skycar, above the skylines of the Citadel, she still believed there could be eyes and ears listening in. Nowhere was safe, until they boarded the Councilor’s private ship, which wasn’t the biggest of ships, just a fancier than normal shuttle that could take them through the relays and to Thessia more or less unhindered.
“When we get on my shuttle. I will tell you more, but right now. I need to collect my thoughts. Let us get out of the System, and I will tell you everything, I swear.”
The odd part of it all was the actual ship they would be traveling with, a small hangar bay came ajar when the Skycar approached, and with its automated coordinates plotted the car parked itself neatly within a small vehicle compartment on the lower deck of the ship. The smaller vessel was in fact unregistered to anyone, no alignment set apart from being Council property which did warrant full privacy and limited access to ship logs. It was as if the ship didn’t even exist, but not even C-Sec could get access to investigate it.
It was either the perfect escape vessel for Council members, or the most suitable ship for smuggling within Council Space. Regardless of purpose, it was Tevos’s personal ship, and she was to travel all the way back to Thessia, with a single companion in tow.
When the skycar finally came to a full park within the compartment of the ship, a single pair of clicks echoed around them, signaling the locks attached to the skycar as well as the closing hatch they ventured through. Tevos powered down the car and finally sunk her shoulders.
“Meet me in the cockpit... we’ll leave in five minutes. And then, I will reveal everything to you, with no details left out.”

Wow this came out way more depressing than I thought.
She became shaky, hesitant… As if years of built up feelings could boil forth and cause her image to become less than fortunate. That’s all she seemed to care about, but that didn’t stop the few tears loosely roll off her cheeks. Was the great Aria T’loak crying? Of course she was. Would she admit to it? Good luck. With an impatient grunt, the ruler takes a hold of one of the councilors hands, hoping to smooth things over. Even if the world was ending- even if the stars were all going to die out- she’d be damned if she hadn’t at least made things somewhat right by the one person who meant something to her.
“I… Can understand your frustration.” Moving just a tad closer, she ensures that the two had no personal space left between the two of them. Clearly, the moments intimacy needed more of a kick- something to make this all feel more genuine. This was how it was once before, right? Before the gangs- before the throne- before Omega. “And there’s absolutely nothing I can say that could make what I did even the slightest bit acceptable. I… Suppose for a lack of better words that I’m sorry.”
Right… Sorry. It was a word that was one of the fewest said by the commando along with;
‘Please, Love, Thank-You’
Of course, a single disingenuous would never do. Not in a million years .The tears that broke through her inamorata’s steely gaze was enough to make the weight of an empire crumble at her finger tips. Had she had the gall, the strength, and most of all the will, she would leave it all behind to ensure that Tevos was safe and more importantly loved.
Being a bondmate didn’t mean running off, it didn’t mean taking over a damn planet to stroke your own ego. It meant being someone reliable, someone loving, someone less distant. The fact that she hadn’t been given up on was astounding- but there was a picture of the other by her bedside- it was only natural she hadn’t give up either.
A hand moves behind the others head, gently pressing the womans face into her leather coat, letting out a careful sigh. “… I know I’ve hurt you, Tevos. Part of me wonders why you’ve allowed yourself to continue to invest in me, and another is grateful that you hadn’t give up yet. Mostly the ladder… You’re one of the few I hold treasured in this mess, and while I’m here, I want to make things right… Just tell me what I need to do.”
Why did she have to be this addictive? Even for the Asari Councilor, this was out of her control, and ever since the first appearance of Commander Shepard, and spewing all the nonsense about the Reapers, there was always a dread in Tevos’s heart that knew whatever Shepard said about an incoming extinction, would come to pass. She wouldn’t admit it, always thinking about her station, and the people under her, if they had only prepared, they might have been ready for the Reapers initial invasion.
But not anymore, the end was nigh, Thessia fallen, Earth fallen, it spelled the end for all life as she knew it. And the only thing she had left, was the asari holding her all so dearly.
Her eyes closed for a mere moment, to gather the scent of Aria before she wrapped her arms around her waist, holding her in kind as she lifted her gaze towards the polar opposite. Tevos was determined to see this through, but she could not do it alone, not anymore. Not with the entire Galaxy burning as the Reapers passed each system, systematically.
“I won’t change who you are Aria. I won’t dare change who you are, I love you for you, for who you are, but.... this galaxy is burning, and I am standing in the midst of it. Thessia is burning, my people.... Our people, are dying. I can still hear the screams of the Asari who gets crushed under the feet of Reapers...”
The sorrow runs deep into the Asari heart, Tevos felt the only closure she could get before her end, was to spend her remaining time beside Aria, to remind her that not everything in his forsaken galaxy saw her as nothing but another politician.
Tevos did what her heart told her to, she released her hold around Aira’s waist, coiled them around her neck, only to pull the intimidating Asari in for a heated azure kiss. So deep as even the biotics of the Councilor began to illuminate around her, drawing in the Dark Matter as she lip locked herself with Aria.
The lengthy, heated kiss ended as she parted their lips. And a tear ran down her blue cheek.
“Aria... Make me forget this sorrow. I need you by my side to see this through, I need you by my side to stay strong. I cannot, I will not, let the Reapers win. I... wish to Meld with you, one last time, before we meet our end with pride and defiance.”
There was no one in the galaxy who had the benefit of saying they made Aria’s knees weak. There was no one in all of time who could even come close to how emotional Tevos made her- not even Shepard. Admiration and love were two different things, and while she played the part of an uncaring, ruthless, god forsaken queen, Aria still felt the utmost compassion for the councilor… So much so that she’d distance herself across solar systems to ensure that no one would touch her. That was one of the hardest decisions she had to make- but she knew what she signed on for when she defeated The Patriarch and dethroned him to make room for herself…
Hands glide against gilded walls, making way for the open door at a seemingly endless hallway. Walls closed in on her, and she felt smaller, somewhat insignificant. There was this primal urge to break free of the guards sight and run straight for her flame. Of course she wanted to take a running start to pull the other Asari into her arms and ensure her that she would never be far- but Omega was controlled by herself again, and that promise would ring hollow. Her heart sank in her chest, and she broke into a bit of a strut towards the open door- heels clicking against the hard flooring, arms moving behind her back.
Once at the opening, all rationality seems to tear from her mind and she stares at Tevos- half tempted to run over and just… hold onto her. It was something they hadn’t done in a long time- in a time where they were on Thessia.
“…Tevos.” Of course Aria’s voice would ring a bit hollow- but in the end of the ‘os’ her tone seemed to crack- emotion pouring through as she nearly breaks into hysterics- tears. Something formerly thought incapable to her.
And there it was, the voice, the domineering, (matter of fact) tone that could only belong to a single entity in this entire universe. Tevos couldn’t listen to Aria’s voice with a straight face, it was impossible to not cringe at the sound, or get a chill up her spine when she heard it.
She wanted to block it out, and embrace the sound at the same time, she wanted to hate it and love it simultaneously. But she couldn’t do that, now could she? Not after what she had done, taken away their daughter, which resulted with her death. No, it was too much to bear, Tevos haven’t felt this tense in a very very long time, and now, with the Reapers making their move, with the war escalating into something terrible. She might never have a chance ever again, and it was time to embrace it, now or never.
Light steps carried her down the stairs leading to the abode’s main floor, the form fitting dress clung well to the shapely Asari hips, and with each step, Tevos made a deliberate approach towards Aria as she could barely keep her posture. Damn, why did Aria’s glare always have to make her so uncomfortable, but also loved at the same time? She had to make due with what she had however, for as she came close, a single hand was raised to cup the cheek of the Queen of Omega.
“You should know, I never did forgive you for what happened. I never stopped thinking about you two. But I’ve always had so much regret, letting you leave...”
Her eyes watered with tears, she felt the tingling in her palm, biotics flaring up, her eyes wet with the tears of anguish and longing. Tevos closed her eyes shut, she let her hand slide down from the warmth of Aria’s cheek, to rest against the chest of the person she cherished above everything in this damned galaxy.
“Aria. I’ve hated you for so long you can hardly imagine. But I can’t anymore, not with our demise waiting around the next corner... I can’t keep myself from feeling these things....”
Her gaze raised to her Bondmate, she lay both her hands on Aria’s imposing torso. She was indeed taller than Tevos herself, but she leaned in, only to lay her head against Aria’s chest, to listen to the beating rhythmic heart within her chest.
“I need you....”
