Legion Meeting Day, 3rd anniversary - feat. a Legion x F!Shep fanfic WIP

Hello my dear, lovely people!

It's April 15th, which means it's Meeting Day anniversary for Legion and me! The third one, to be exact. ^^

I don't have much to show, but I do have this little WIP of a Legion x F!Shepard fic that I scribbled down. Please enjoy! :-)

It had started off as a joke. "Y'know, viewed from the outside, you could almost think the Widow is something like our wedding ring." Shepard quipped as she ejected the used thermal clip from her M-98 Widow, twin to the sniper rifle of the Geth who was standing next to her. She was at the Normandy's shooting range, taking time to hone her aim with her weapon of choice. Legion, on their part, had recently done some fine-tuning to their targeting software, so they had joined Shepard for this training session. The Geth paused, considering her statement. "It is not an entirely inaccurate analogy." Shepard's brows shot up. She hadn't expected that answer. "Oh? How so?" "Although the exchange of an identical piece of jewelry is merely symbolic, a marriage covenant does involve mutual support of the partners in most organic cultures. Us sharing weapon schematics with you serves a similar purpose." Legion explained in their usual, matter-of-fact way. "It also parallels the exchange of data and runtimes when new Geth programs join a network, improving performance as a whole." Shepard couldn't help but snort. "What, are you telling me we're married in Geth terms?" But beneath the laughter, she had to admit that the notion did sound kind of sweet. "It is a strong oversimplification. Geth do not know any distinctions for romantic or sexual relationships. For us, there are only programs that are part of the Consensus, and those that are not." Legion shifted their weight, turning their headlight to Shepard. "However, if you wish to use it as a metaphor for our relationship, we would not be averse to it." The words took a few moments to register, and when they did, Shepard quite literally stopped. Holy shit. Did Legion just make a move on her? "Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you just proposed to me!" she replied teasingly. Legion's head panels suddenly flared out, in the way she'd come to interpret as their version of a confused or surprised expression.

...Aaand that's about all I have for now. Evil cliffhanger, I know. xD

Do feel free to share your feedback if you have any, though! :-)

And big thanks to the people on the Geth Discord who basically wingmanned this. You know who you are, and I love you! <3

examples of emotional self-care include teaching your geth companion about the joys of hand-holding

Wake up, folks! A new Legion romance patch (including platonic relationships, too!) just dropped for Mass Effect 2!

An author named jasp on AO3 (big kudos to you! <3) released an interactive fanfic allowing you to finally get into a relationship with Legion. It's not only wonderfully written, it also has the trademark ME dialogue wheel and even the Normandy AI core engine noise in the background!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It really felt like talking with Legion again, which is a real treat. Finally, after the painful ordeals of ME3, my depression has been cured, my broken heart has been mended, and my soul has been restored.

Also I'm gonna tag @everythingcounts2007remaster and @menacingmetal since I know both of you are Legion lovers (hope you don't mind ^^)

@fereldang both Lena and Legion aren’t really the romantic types, so the idea of a date is a pretty foreign concept to them. it would probably begin as nothing more than some friendly sniping competition - even though Lena’s robotic prosthetic helps even the playing field between them, Legion would sometimes hesitate a few milliseconds longer to give her the shot, allowing her to win. afterwards, they might retire to the Normandy’s lounge, where the two would watch the stars while Lena downs a few cocktails. after a drink or two, she might start pulling out her books of human poetry and start pouring over them, reading passages aloud to Legion, who continuously pauses her to ask questions. another drink and half later and she’s deep into the Bukowski collection, smoking cigarettes and starting to get unusually emotional. sappy, even. Legion gets an interesting lesson on the trials and tribulations of human relationships, until Lena stops mid-poem and turns on a movie instead. tonight she chooses ‘Bicentennial Man’ - an old earth favorite of hers about an android that spends 200 years trying to become human and falls in love in the process. Lena falls asleep in a dreamy drunken haze before the end, but Legion continues watching diligently. when it’s over, he gently carries her to bed, sitting on its edge patiently for the rest of the night while she sleeps. in the morning, he would ask her if they had just went “on a date.” and yes, yes they did. ( aaaahhh I had to think about this one a bit !!!! )
