Dead and Buried (James Vega / Male Shepard Clone)
Aaaand we're live! Go read my new fic "Dead and Buried" where my favorite (aka James Vega) is sent on a secret mission by Admiral "Do you have a minute" Hackett, to find out why the remaining Cerberus forces are so interested in an abandoned mining colony three years after the war ended. Rated Explicit, about 18k long, with art by the awesome @keriweird!

The Future Prometheus - Ch 5 (Final Chapter)
Rating: Teen and Up
Story Summary: A clone of Commander Shepard wakes up for the first time. She is not aware she is a clone, let alone who Shepard was. It is an odd start to life.
Chapter Summary: The message was received.
Start at the beginning or
Start Chapter 5:
One afternoon, you’re reading in bed when you hear a jumble of voices coming from the hallway. They sound upset. You recognize the voices of both the salarian and human doctors. Amidst their babbling, you catch the phrases not permitted and will interfere. A new voice babbles back. It is low and gravelly. It spouts out words like authority and hierarchy. The babbling intensifies until your door opens.
A man enters the room. He is unlike anyone else you have seen. He is tall, much taller than even the human doctors, and the back of his head flows into a crest of what looks to you like stone feathers. A deep blue cape with gold trim hangs by a large clasp on his right shoulder. A simple set of black shirt and pants peek out through the cape’s openings. He has a pale blue visor sitting over his left eye. The doctors try to follow him into the room. He turns sharply and glares at them before shutting the door in their faces.
He sits down in the chair next to your bed. He leans in towards you and looks into your eyes. He is looking for something in you. The right side of his face is scarred but his eyes are bright and blue. They remind you of Terra.
The Well says, “!!!!!!”
You move without thinking. You reach your hand out to touch his face. At first, he stays very still, looking at your outstretched fingers and then back at you. But then he closes his eyes and leans his forehead into your touch. His gray skin is rough and cool. You run your fingertips down from his forehead to his nose, then follow along the blue lines that run across his face. You make your way over to the right side of his face, where the lines are broken up by the patch of scars. Your fingers trail over the uneven skin down his cheek and across his mandible. You lightly touch under his mandible, where his neck meets his head. He is wearing a high collar, but you can tell the scar continues down his neck. A shiver of revulsion ripples through him. However he wanted you to touch him, you did it wrong. He pulls away from your hand.
His eyes open again, but this time they are cold and hard. His voice is low.
“You’re not really Shepard, are you?”

@spectre-requisitions-exchange is officially over for 2024! Not gonna lie, I'm a little sad. It was so much fun!!

My gifts this year were PHENOMENAL. And I swear I am not just saying that to be nice. I got SPOILED ROTTEN this year. Like holy shit. 🥰
First up is my official gift! Mimicry by @keriweird featuring Kaidan and MShep's Clone.

First of all, I almost lost my mind when I saw the length. 25k?? That someone would write that much for a gift blew me away. Impossibly generous. Then I started reading and GODDAMN. This is, legitimately, one of the best Mass Effect fanfics I have ever read. Easily in my top ten now. They took my prompt and ran with it in the most creative and mind bending ways.
The DETAILS in this story. Holy crap. Talk about world building. And the way they turn a phrase?? 🥲Beautiful. I cried. A few times. And also laughed out loud. There is some top notch humour in here. GO READ THIS STORY!
On top of the masterpiece that I got for a gift, I got a treat!! (Seriously. Spoiled.) And I nearly peed myself (sorry) when I saw which prompt they had picked!
We have: Mother****ing Dragons!! By @thedaselcor featuring FemShep and The Iron Bull!!!

I didn't think anyone would jump on board with my crack fic pairing but I really hoped they would. You KNOW Shep and Bull would hit it off!! Come on! And holy shit did they ever deliver!!
This has got to be the most FUN I have ever had reading a fic. I was literally BOUNCING while I read this!! Giggling like an idiot the whole time. It is everything I could have possibly hoped for when I dreamt this up, and then some.
You have to go check this out! You will not regret it. What an absolute blast!
Honestly. I am so beside myself with joy. The biggest thank you possible to both my authors. I utterly adore you both. ❤️❤️

Summary: A clone of Commander Jane Shepard wakes up for the first time. She is not aware she is a clone, let alone who Jane Shepard was. It is an odd start to life.
Start at the Beginning or
Start Chapter 3:
A few days later, you’re in the middle of holding crow pose. You can now hold the pose as long as you want before dropping back to the ground. Your gym trainer says you’re ready to start trying to tilt your shoulders down and hips up. It’s the beginning of a handstand. You say you want to spend the rest of the session working on it, but he says he has a new game for you.
He has you stand across from him, feet shoulder width apart, hands up on either side of your face. He says the game is that he’s going to set a timer for three minutes and during that time try to tap your elbows and knees as many times as he can. You have to move out of the way before he can do that. The catch is that you can’t run away; you can only move left or right. He fist bumps you, and the game starts.
He taps your elbow once. Twice. You try to anticipate a third tap and swing your arm out of the way. He taps the other one. You start shuffling back and forth, trying to fake him out. He lunges forward and tries to tap your knee. You jut backwards and his hand misses you. You see your opening. You tap his outstretched elbow.
Your trainer says, “You’re catching on!”
You spend the rest of your session tap sparring in three-minute intervals. By the end, you are laughing along with your trainer. He says you’re a natural.
As you prepare to leave the gym, you tell your trainer it reminds you of dancing. He tilts his head and asks when you’ve been dancing. You say it was in a dream. He smiles apologetically and says while your fitness plan doesn’t have space for dancing, martial arts can be a dance of its own. When you have a good sparring partner, the way you read each other’s movements and react to them feels more like a dance than a fight. You are amenable to this.
