Summary:
“We’re with you, Commander.”
It should bring Maggie comfort, she knows that, but she almost wants to scream at them to take the out.
Back on Akuze, her crew had no idea it would end up being their last mission. In this line of work, anyone hardly gets that heads up.
---
After a mission goes awry on her watch, Commander Maggie Sawyer is transferred to the Normandy, a ship of outcasts lead by Captain Henshaw.
Unable to convince the Council of the impending dangers of an ancient race terrorizing the colonies, the crew sets off on a journey to see if they can prevent disaster. Decade-long secrets uncover, enemies start teaming up, and the Normandy picks up a reputation everywhere it docks, for better or for worse.
Even with the threat of imminent doom over their heads, Maggie finds that a certain recruit teaches her how to actually live the future she is fighting so hard for.
Additional tags: Alternate Universe, Mass Effect AU, you don't have to play the games to read the fic as i have made my own changes, Outer Space, Spaceships, mostly based on the first two games, i cannot get sanvers out of my head, not even when playing videogames, so the solution is to write 40k words about them in space
