8: “ I don’t need you anymore." For Eos and Helios >:D
She just...lies there. Like an object. Like a body. Like his own dead body, hair dyed pink instead of bleached blond, looking like he would have if he’d never transitioned.
“I’m doing fine, by the way.” The words come out harsher than Helios intended. Or maybe they were just as harsh as he meant. “No thanks to you or Dad.” That isn’t true, not really. It could easily have been his cryo chamber that wasn’t opened yet, that was flung across the room and slammed into a wall in that first encounter with the Scourge. And if Alec hadn’t given Helios his helmet outside that first Vault on Habitat 7...
“Established a colony and everything.” Helios nods hard, once, as if to punctuate the sentence. “Doing fine without you there every second. See? A minute older doesn’t mean shit. I don’t need you anymore.”
He breaks. His knees go weak, and he has to grab the edge of the medi-bed--and one of his sister’s hands--to support himself. “Fuck, E, I can’t do it.” His breath feels like it’s turned to goo in his throat as he struggles to breathe without letting out a sob. Maia and Beetle are still in cryo, too young to be priority for waking, even if they are the Pathfinder’s children--the Pathfinder’s siblings, now. Stars, he can’t do this. He’s never been the only Ryder.
“Please wake up.” He squeezes Eos’s hand. “Just...whenever you can. No rush, right? You always slept late.” It’s a weak repetition of the joke he made before that first shuttle ride down to the place where he became the only Ryder. “Please, E. I do need you. I always need you.”

again, no idea where this came from; it’s ancient, sorry

Ella Shepard:
Ella sort of had a girlfriend before the Raid, they were at the adorable puppy-eye stage, and were attempting to figure out how to word at each other well enough to actually go on their first date the day before she died.
(Her boyfriend after the Raid was a very unhealthy-fuck-buddies/distract-from-pain kind of thing, and he ended up joining a gang and trying to recruit her and she almost killed him when he didn’t want to take no for an answer, but hey! Biotic flare = Alliance recruitment so it all worked out. Eventually. Most of her other flings were pretty shallow, and an awful lot of them were assholes; she likes the snarky, and sometimes gets fooled by someone who’s legit that selfish & cynical rather than someone who’s exhausted and sarcastic about it.)
Her parents didn’t really have any family left when they ended up on Mindoir, so Ella didn’t have any family post-Raid, and she and Joker never do have kids, but they foster a lot? I think? I never have figured out their life post-games.
For friends... she has a lot of acquaintances, but before ME1 I’m not sure she had a lot of people she could call really close friends. (Outside of AU Lex & Meg obviously.) She gets there with the Normandy and all three of her crews, though.

Maia Ryder
Did I ever tell you about Maia’s Complicated Introduction To Angaran Family Structure Because Polyamory? (Basically Jaal of all people is forced to point out that if she trusts Reyes then he’ll trust Reyes and why is she trying to cut out her own heart, at which point Maia attempts to explain monogamy and Jaal is horrified.) Angara have Mothers and Fathers and Cousins and there are a lot of different words they have to differentiate degree of connection that English just doesn’t get and the translation and interpretation of that takes ages. There’s a different word for your husband’s wife who you are also married to vs your wife’s husband with whom you have a platonic relationship and siblings with the same parents vs siblings of siblings that all have overlapping parents, and your biological sister vs raised by the same group of mothers even if your biological parents are different sister vs your spouse’s sister (and which version of sister it is over on that side) and if she didn’t have a SAM keeping track Maia would have wandered around with flashcards or a notebook or something for like, five years before she got it all mostly figured out.
Evfra and Keema grumpily show up to Maia and Jaal’s wedding as Reyes’ cousins because he can’t very well stand there without a family web at all when his fiance’s getting married and it gets very weird for awhile for the humans. (Reyes and Jaal are never really friends but they do eventually make good family.)Jaal convinces the entire Tempest Crew to stand up as Maia’s & Morgan’s extended family, not that it took much effort.

ADELAIDE AND SEBASTIAN never really fell in love with anyone before each other, or after. Which is perhaps a little sad? They had lots of children, which helped them both get over some of their Family Issues, but also gave them both a few panic attacks because every other family either of them ever tried to have is dead.
They never call Isabela or Fenris family, and won’t let the kids call them Aunt or Uncle or anything like that, not because they don’t love them like family, but because of the aforementioned all my family dies weirdness in their heads.

Adelaide Hawke does not know how to flirt but is probably accidentally adorable?
Ella Shepard is much better at it... depending a bit on one’s definition of flirting, I suppose
Theia Hawke is the best tho
Icy Yaling just pines very seriously
Maia Ryder has more fun with it
