Someday, Lux Shepard, Cas Shepard, their husbands Kaidan and Garrus, best galpal Miranda, and adopted daughter Tali, should go out on the town ;)

They totally should!

I could just see them having a good time! Though I could see Lux getting REAL drunk after drinking one of the Krogan drinks and Kaidan and Miranda both have to carry him out of the bar...Tali also needs to be carried out after using her 'emergency induction port'.

Grunt is on his own.

Lux: "A smoothie."

Kaidan's reaction to Lux showing up in a Fornax centerfold

(Pre-relationship, probably during mass effect 1) Kaidan freezes when he sees the pages. The last thing he expected was to see his Commander in a Fornax magazine. "Humanity's first specter." was the title of the article/photos.

Lux was completely naked except for his helmet covering his junk. However, how he was angled gave Kaidan a glimpse of Lux's ass. He kind of wished he could see more.

What was he thinking? That was his commander! He couldn't think of him like that. It was inappropriate.

He turned the page and almost fainted There were more photos of Lux. This time his ass was on full display and Kaidan felt himself get hard. He let his hand move and touch himself.

Sure Lux was his commander, but Kaidan was only human after all. He'd take the magazine into the refresher. That was about the most privacy he could have on the Normandy.

...

(Years later)

"Hey K, what's this?"

"Lux wait!"

"Woah." Lux looked at the images of himself and laughed. He turned and looked at a blushing Kaidan. "This was a limited issue from years ago. Have you been holding onto this since the SR1?"

"No! I've-I've-" He sighs. "Fine. What can I say? You're hot."

what does Lux like most about Kaidan?

Lux ask! Lux ask! I love my boy and love talking about my ocs! Haha

…

Lux loves Kaidan for a lot of reasons. I mean, his butt is pretty great. But really, Lux loves Kaidan’s loyalty and sticking by what he believes. He always tries to do what is right, even if it’s not the easiest decision.

Now you might be thinking “what about horizon.” Well screw horizon. Even Shepard didn’t like what he had to say. Lux hated Cerberus, even during his entire time with them. He wasn’t shocked or surprised when Kaidan didn’t trust him. If he was in his shoes, he wouldn’t either. But what stuck out was that Kaidan wanted to believe so badly that Lux wasn’t with them until he actually had proof. He believed in Lux enough. Just sucked Cerberus was his only resource at the time. But Kaidan stuck by the alliance, which is exactly where Lux wanted him to.

So yeah. He admires Kaidan’s loyalty…and his butt.

I apologize if you've done this before, but how did your OC's meet their significant others?

oooo! I actually haven't done this before! Alright so I'll do this for a few of them.

Daniel Stark: Daniel met Peter after Peter had become Tony's 'intern'. Their relationship at first was...NOT pleasent. Daniel found Peter incredibly annoying and hated that it seemed like his dad had found a new 'son' to replace him. Peter ended up the victim to Daniel's magic a few times before things got to where they were.

Robert Barton: Robert and Clint met after a mission gone wrong. Clint had to be rushed to the nearest medical facility which was just a hospital nearby. At first Clint wouldn't let anyone near him but Robert didn't care, he was going to help Clint and fix him up even if he had to wrestle him down to do it. Clint had to admit...he found Robert interesting and soon Robert became the head doctor for the Avengers.

Kade Wheeler: Kade met Paul after Jacob had invited the boy to LaPush as a welcome. When Kade agreed and went he met the entire pack...and that's when Paul imprinted on him. Paul and Kade butted heads at first. Both strong headed and not wanting to back down it only made things more interesting.

Lux Shepard: Lux met Kaidan on a mission before being recruited to the Normandy. Anderson wanted to know how well the two of them would get along so he had them on a basic patrol mission. It ended up with both of them stopping a pirate incursion. The two worked VERY well together and Anderson knew he made a great choice.

Gideon Wayne: Gideon's mom worked at one of Gotham's top hospitals. That hospital was also funded by the Wayne's and Martha Wayne would visit regularly to check in. During one of those visits Gideon met Bruce and the two became close friends to where they'd often have playdates and sleepovers. Gideon and Bruce were literally the childhood friends to lovers trope.

Lux Lives!

Fandom: Mass Effect Pairing: Lux Shepard (OC) x Kaidan Alenko Summary: The Crucible has fired. The Reapers have been defeated. But most importantly...Lux lives!

~~~

*Gasp!*

Lux opened his eyes. He wasn’t sure how long he had been out. He was stuck underneath rubble and he was in pain, lots of pain. But one thing was certain. He was ALIVE. Somehow, some way, he was alive.

The last thing he remembered was speaking with the catalyst. Being given the choice. Given the chance to decide the fate of the entire galaxy. To Control, To evolve, or to end the Reapers once and for all. He hadn’t really thought of it. Destroy seemed like the only sound option...to him at least.

The Reapers had taken so much from him. So many friends. Ashley, Mordin, Legion, Thane... Anderson. People he cared about, gone. “It won’t discriminate. All synthetic life will be destroyed.” The catalyst’s words rang in his mind. No. Oh no. Edi. Edi and the Geth...if it worked they wouldn’t have survived. He hoped against hope perhaps...perhaps there was a chance. 

Honestly, Lux didn’t even know if he HAD stopped the reapers. The last thing he knew was blowing up the generator. He was prepared to die himself...he still might. He didn’t know if what he had done stopped them or not.

Who knows. He wasn’t even sure if he’d make it out of the rubble.

As his eyes closed, he heard a voice. “I know you’re not giving up now. Not after all you did. Not after all you worked so hard for.” Lux opened his eyes, however this time he wasn’t in the rubble. He was standing on Eden Prime, where it all began. The voice belonged to a familiar person in front of him. One he never expected to see again.

Saren.

“I must apologize, Shepard, for everything that happened between us...and thank you. By the time we had met, I had already fallen hard. Too far gone. The indoctrination had grabbed hold and didn’t let go. Nothing I tried worked to free me...nothing except you. There were two instances you were able to break me free from my mental prison, even if only for a brief moment. I know nothing I can say can truly make up for my actions and I’m not looking for forgiveness. I just wanted to speak my truth to you.”

“I know.” Saren looked surprised at Lux’s words. “I know you had no control of what happened during our time. But that doesn’t excuse you for the actions before that. You wanted to make a fool of humanity so bad you let yourself become a tool of the Reapers. However...I can see now that you know exactly what that cost. In the end...you did choose to do the right thing.”

Saren laughed. “It’s a shame we had never met before.” Suddenly the environment around them began to tear and rip with bright light. “It appears our time together is coming to an end. Go, Shepard, go live in the galaxy you helped create.”

Soon the ground opened up beneath Lux making him fall through. Once more his sight was filled with blinding light. This time when he opened his eyes he found himself back in the rubble. However, something was different. There were...voices. Someone was out there. Suddenly the debris he was under began to glow and slowly lifted off him.

“My god...You always love surprising me don’t you Shepard.”

Aria T’loak. Omega herself.

“I have to say, Shepard, this is the worst I’ve ever seen you and you’ve woken up drunk on my couch.” She said this as she slowly lifted him up, Bray helping holding him from the other side. Now don’t tell anyone...but Lux could almost hear a bit of worry in her voice. 

Lux laughed. It hurt, but he had to. “It’s good to see you too Aria. Where are we?”

“Well, you WERE almost on the way to the afterlife, you know the other one, not my club. But really, you were being crushed under debris in the council chambers...or what’s left of them anyway.”

“D-did we...win…” Lux felt his eyes closing again, this time his exhaustion was getting to him.

“Shepard! Lux!” He heard Aria say before passing out.

The next time he opened his eyes, it was a lot slower. “He’s stabilizing. We’re going to do everything we can to help him. But yes, I do believe he’ll make a full recovery.” A voice with a strong accent said. “Good. He saved all our asses, it’s the least we can do for him.” Another strong voice he recognized.

Finally, his eyes were able to focus. There in front of him, he saw Doctor Michelle and Commander Bailey. “D-did we...win?” Lux croaked out. The two turned quickly to him and broke into large grins. “Why aren’t you one tough son of a bitch?” Bailey laughed as he clapped Lux’s shoulder. “Careful Commander, we don’t want to cause him more pain.” The Doctor said with her light tone but you can see on her face she was relieved. 

Lux repeated his question once more, determined to know the answer. “Did we win?” The two looked at each other and then back at him. “We wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t.” Bailey said with another laugh. “It wasn’t without sacrifices though.” The doctor said, turning to a frown. “And unfortunately that goes for you. We found you in time to save your life but…” She looked down and Shepard followed her gaze to his leg; it was only then he realized he felt something was missing. “I’m afraid your lower left leg was badly injured. We had to amputate it. I’m sorry commander.”

Shepard looked down at his leg.The lower left part was gone. He could still feel it like it was there. He had always heard stories from fellow soldiers about a ‘ghost’ feeling after losing a limb, this must have been it. “Commander?” Doctor Michelle asked. Lux sighed but chuckled. “It’s an adjustment to be sure…but after how much I’ve lost and sacrificed…this is the least critical. I could have just died.” Bailey shook his head but smirked. “That’s sure one way to look at it.”

Before he could keep talking his omnitool beep. “I have to go. There’s unrest in Zakera and they need me to help calm everyone. I’ll talk to you later Shepard. Rest up, you deserve it.” Once he left Doctor Michelle laughed and looked over her own omnitool. “The Commander has been busy since the firing of the crucible. Everyone is just so confused and still a bit frightened.” Shepard nodded a bit. “How long was I out?” he asked. “The crucible fired three days ago. You’ve been here for two. I’m surprised you woke up so soon.” She went to give Lux some Medigel. “You should save that for some others.” He said only making her laugh. “You need it. Besides, you’re the savior of the galaxy. Everyone here, doctors, patients and everyone else agree. You saved us, let us save you.”

Doctor Michelle ran a few more tests before smiling. “Everything looks fine. There are of course some more things we’ll check but that’s all things that can be done later. For now I’ll let you rest while I check on some other patients.” Lux smiled at her. “Thanks Doc.” With that she left the door sliding shut behind her. Lux was ready to fall back asleep but something told him he wasn’t alone.

“I thought they’d never leave.” A familiar voice said. Lux watched as a figure decloaked and appeared standing beside his bed. “Kasumi. How long have you been here?” The thief smiled at him. “Ever since they brought you in. What? I wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to you, we made a promise. You look awful by the way.” She said with a teasing tone.

Lux couldn’t hold back his laugh. It was nice to have one of his crew there. “Thanks. I feel terrible too.” He loved when he could talk with Kasumi. Both didn’t take each other seriously and often found joy in the other’s company. “So how are things? I have no idea what the outside world is like.”

Kasumi hummed and sat in a chair. “Well if it isn’t obvious you’re on the citadel, Huerta Memorial to be precise. It was left rather untouched. Much of the citadel is still intact but there are large damages in other places. Long range communications are down, we get bits of things here and there but it’ll take time to get things fully back up. It would be a lot easier if the Mass Relays weren’t practically destroyed. Would save a lot of time getting things fixed.”

Kasumi had helped Lux get caught up telling him the state of the galaxy…or at least the Sol system where they were currently stranded. Like she had said, long range communication was still down with a number of other systems. “What about the Geth?” He asked, expecting to hear about their demise. “The ones still on Earth are helping rebuild, people are still weary, but they’re coming around.” Lux’s eyes shot up at that. “What!? The Geth are alive?!” Kasumi looked at him strangely. “Yeah. Why?” Lux explained what the crucible had explained. “Oh. Well a number of Geth DID shut down when it fired, but from what we can tell they were loaded with reaper code. Otherwise they’re still fine.” Lux let out a breath he didn’t know he had. Legion DIDN’T die in vain and if the Geth were still alive…maybe so was EDI.

“Has there been any news on the Normandy?” He looked to Kasumi who shook her head. “No. The last thing we heard from them they were about to go through the relay. We don’t have any way to contact them.” Lux’s face dropped as he thought of his companions, of Kaidan. Kasumi must have known exactly what he was thinking and placed a hand on his shoulder. “I’m sure they’re fine Lux. If Joker can get us through the Omega 4 relay, he can keep them safe.”

“You’re right. If they’re all together nothing can stop them.”

~

In a distant system on an unknown planet, Kaidan Alenko sat outside the crashed Normandy staring up at the night sky. “I’m coming Lux, you better be there.”
