Mass Effect Holiday Cheer fic
This was written for @pancake-angst for the Mass Effect Holiday Cheer secret santa thing :) It was supposed to be pretty short but kind of picked up its skirts and ran away from me. (Please bear with me, I haven't written or read ME fic in way too long.)
You listed Kaidan/Thane as a pairing you like, and I was pretty intrigued, as this is def a rarepair that never occurred to me. I wanted to see if I could pull it off, tbh.
Full disclosure, this is kind of AU bc I figure if there are any fics out there about these two, they're probably mostly based in Huerta Memorial, soooo uhhh for the purpose of this fic, we're going to pretend Kaidan DID reluctantly join up with Shep for her suicide mission in ME2. (Also, I deliberately skip forward a bit/skim over certain in-game scenes bc screw it, you already know what happens, and I'm trying not to let this thing grow into some ridic long monstrosity.) Ok, babbling over. Hope you enjoy :D
Mass Effect 2 | Kaidan/Thane | PG-13ish?

"I was hiding," Kaidan admitted with a wry one-sided smile. "I'm not really comfortable being on a ship with so many Cerberus aboard."
"This is a Cerberus ship," Thane pointed out, cocking his head to the side. "Did you plan to remain in hiding for the duration of your stay?"
Kaidan glanced around. "Did you?" he retorted. Now that he didn't have the pain taking up all of his thoughts, he could see that the table and chairs weren't the only signs of life in the room. This was someone's bunk.
Thane's shoulders moved in a minute shrug. "As I said, I prefer to keep to myself. My presence makes some people... uncomfortable."
