Spare pieces.
I feel bad for Shepard's clone more than anything, I really wished there was a way to save her.
Yes, I gave her renegade scars, why? because I can and they are cool :)

The Future Prometheus

Ship: FemShep x Femshep Clone // Shenko, eventual OT3
AO3 Links: Chapter 1 // This Chapter
Summary: Shep had planned to spend another night alone. Instead she has a surprise visitor--one she had never expected to see again.Unapologetic consensual clone smut.
Note: Well, one year after the most recent chapter, I finally get around to updating this thing. Oops. This is a sequel to Spare Parts, but obviously you can read this without reading the other fic. I’ve spent the year developing the characters and their story arcs, so this smutty crack fic now has plot! Lemme know what you think.
What the hell are you doing here, Shepard? She stood in front of the door, boring holes into it with her gaze. Maybe if she stared long enough the hammering in her ears and chest would fade. So far no luck. Shepard needed to not panic. First step—control her breathing. Deep breath in; deep breath out. Her chest felt like lead. Second step—stay grounded. The door is green. There are six rows and six columns of rings in that grate. That would make—36 diamond…thingys. Yeah. We’ll call ‘em thingys. Just as her stomach slowed its churning, someone tapped her shoulder.
“You gonna say the password, bitch? Or are you going to just stand there all day?”
Shepard whipped around, grabbing him by the wrist. She didn’t waste time before bending it the wrong way. “Get your hands off me.” So much for keeping things under control.
50% of her body is caffeine.
She is very unhealthy with her sleep, don't let the unbothered look deceive you
The Future Prometheus - Chapter 2
Rating: Teen and Up
Summary: A Shepard clone who does not know they are a clone, let alone who Shepard is, begins her training regimen. For some reason, everyone acts like she's done this before.
Start at the Beginning or
Start Chapter 2:
One morning, a doctor places something in your lap. It is metal. It is heavy. You have no idea what it’s supposed to do. They look at you expectantly. You ask the Well what to do. You tell the doctors the object is a gun. They ask you to be more specific. You say it’s a M-5 Phalanx semi-automatic heavy pistol manufactured by the Systems Alliance. The human doctors smile. They ask you to take it apart and then reassemble it. You do so and hand the gun back to them. They tell you you’re making great progress. They say you’ll be back to being a soldier in no time.
After the doctors leave, you ask the Well, “What is a soldier?”
For the first time, the Well seems hesitant to answer you. It shows you someone who is strong and brave. Someone who protects their people from those who would want to hurt them. You think you could protect people.
Later, something very exciting happens. You get to leave your room. You are escorted into a hallway and led through a series of doors and turns and corridors until you reach a large room with various machines. A man in shorts and a t-shirt explains that he’s your personal trainer. He’s here to help you get stronger. As it is your first time exercising, your trainer says you’ll just do body weight workouts. You’re taught many new ways to move your body. The push-ups and squats and sit-ups are fun, but your favorite part is the stretching and yoga.
Stretching your body hurts, but in a good way. It makes you aware of all your muscles and tendons and the way they work together. The trainer shows you how to do downward dog pose, and you feel the tightness in the backs of your legs as you try to get your heels to touch the ground (the Well informs you the part of your body you’re stretching is called the Achilles tendon). You learn cobra pose and feel the slight burning feeling of stretching out your stomach (the Well once again informs you those are your abdominal muscles you’re feeling).
The trainer asks if you want to try a hard one. You nod your head, grinning. Your trainer gets into a low squat and braces his elbows against the inside of his knees. He shifts his weight onto his hands and brings his feet up, so they hover over the ground. He tells you this is crow pose. You try to copy him but can’t stay up for more than a few seconds. Your trainer tells you if you practice a little bit every day, not only will you be able to do crow pose, but someday you will even be able to do a handstand. He demonstrates by extending his legs into the air until his body is a straight line with his feet on top and hands on the bottom. When you leave your exercise session, you are determined to learn how to do a handstand.
You’re then taken further down the hall to another room. A man behind a waist-high display case greets you and the doctors, introducing himself as your firearm trainer. Within the display case are many different pistols and handguns. Behind him are racks of rifles.
He unlocks the case and pulls out the Phalanx pistol you were handed back in your room. He passes you a pair of clear plastic glasses and a pair of black, bulky headphones. He waves for you to follow him to a series of booths. He stops in front of one of them and begins to prepare the pistol for you.
In front of you is a counter. Behind the counter is a long corridor. At the end of the corridor is a board hanging from the ceiling. On it is a target made up of a series of concentric black circles. The center of the target is red. The trainer looks at you expectantly.
You don’t know what to do. The trainer does not look like he plans to explain what you’re supposed to do. Feeling a little dumb, you once again refer to the Well for help. It doesn’t seem to mind. It imparts an overview of a series of things. One: What a gun range is and what you do there. Two: Basic gun safety. Three: How to properly hold a gun.

The Future Prometheus - Chapter 4
Rating: Teen and Up
Series 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.
Chapter Summary: Jay and the Well set a plan in motion.
Start at the beginning or
Start Chapter 4:
The plan is a message. The message is simple. It is only four words. The phrase means nothing to you, but that doesn’t matter. The only person who needs to understand it is the recipient.
The following morning, the Well watches you practice typing the message in the search bar of your library app to make sure you spell it right. It then teaches you an email address. Again, the Well makes you practice typing it until you can write it without looking at the screen. Once it is satisfied you have both correct, it shows you a memory of the salarian doctor’s tablet. It flashes images from the woman’s memory of various computer interfaces. The Well takes you through every possible iteration of an envelope icon it can recall. After more series of images, you believe you understand the plan.
First, you need a device that will be able to access the extranet. Then, you need to be able to find a mail program to send the message to the email address the Well showed you. It is equally important you delete your message from the device after it’s sent. You cannot arouse any suspicion from the doctors. There are many cameras watching the facility. There are ways to check the activity and history of all devices that can access the extranet. The only way the doctors will not check these things with scrutiny is if you can make them believe there is no reason to look. You must maintain a sense of normalcy. You must come up with a believable excuse to get access to the extranet and then you must make it seem like you never did it at all.
You ask the Well what you should say to the doctors. The Well does not respond. That part, you must figure out on your own. You go about the rest of your day as usual. The back of your mind starts looking for opportunities.

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?”

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.
