Probably not the best idea
“You afraid you’re going to lose to a cripple?” Joker taunted, a mischievous smirk plastered on his face. “Come on Ty, just one more hand.” Jabbing at her a bit he waved about the deck of cards.
Waving a dismissive hand Jack puffed out a remark. “You know she won’t. Hell, after losing so many credits I sure wouldn’t.” With a matching smirk, she let out a small laugh. “Plus, we all know she’d rather be tangled up in life support.
“Oh fuck off, Jack.” Letting out a frustrated sigh Shepard sat back in her chair, arms crossed as she looked over the two.
From his place on the floor, Grunt waved about his bottle of ryncol. “You gonna let’em best you, Shepard?”
“There’s nothing wrong with losing from time to time.” Thane glanced up from his book, his dark eyes roaming over the group. “Don’t let them push you, Siha.”
Doing her best to hide her amusement Samara opened a singular eye and glanced at them, her focus never leaving the biotic field that was holding her up. “I would have to disagree, Thane. Being bested is an unacceptable conclusion to such a big occasion.” A quiet laugh left her, almost lost among the biotic fields surrounding her.
Shooting her a grumpy look Ty said forward, her arms coming to rest on the table once more. “Fine. Deal me in.”

The next few hours had been a whirlwind of wins, losses, laughter, alcohol, and stupid decisions. Nothing too terrible, but let’s just say Miranda would not appreciate the little ‘gift’ left in her office. After a while, they decided to retire for the night in hopes that it would stave off the impending hangover.
“Mmm.” With an arm curled around Thane’s waist, Ty happily accompanied him up to her room. In the elevator, she snuggled farther into his side, enjoying the warmth he put off. Once they’d slipped inside she pulled Thane to a stop and tugged him down into a warm kiss. Once she was forced to pull away for a desperate breath of air Ty peered up into his eyes. “Have I ever told you how handsome you are?”
With a small smile, Thane got them moving again. “You have. Many times.”
“Well, it’s true.” She said happily before plopping down onto the bed.
Thane left a soft kiss on the top of her head before crouching down to help get her boots off. “I’ll take your word for it.” Once her boots were tossed to the side he helped her stand so she could get undressed fully.
Falling back onto the bed she tugged at his jacket. “Join me…”
“Ty, you’re drunk.” Thane countered as he took her hand from his coat to get her sleep clothes.
Laying back she hummed. “But I want to cuddle.” A small pout pushed her lips out.
Returning to her Thane chuckled. “Alright, I can do that.” With gentle hands, he pulled her back up into a sitting position and slipped the soft shirt over her head. “Go get settled, I’ll join you in a moment.” Leaving another light kiss on her head he stepped away once more to toss his own clothes aside.
Her eyes grew heavy as she settled in. The weight of the blankets was comforting and the pillow was far softer than it usually was. “Love?” Ty mumbled as she tried to focus on Thane in an attempt to stay awake for just a tiny bit longer.
Slipping under the covers with her Thane pulled her close, curling around her with a happy hum. “Rest, Siha. I’m here.”
With that, sleep took her.

“Feeling it now Shepard?” Jack remarked as she plopped down beside Ty. “You look like hell, must’ve been a hell of a morning.”
With a shove, Ty attempted to push Jack over, to no avail. “Oh fuck off, Jack.”
Chuckling to herself Jack sat back. “Older men. I get it.”
With a tired glare, Ty punched Jack in the shoulder. “Asshole.”
“Ya know you love me.” Jack waved her coffee mug about for a moment before taking a sip.
Opening her mouth Ty made to respond but she was quickly cut off by a very irate Miranda. One who was brightly glistening under the fluorescent lights. It was a very nice shade of pink. “So help me, Jack!” A hazy aura, formed by her biotics, made the glitter shine even more. It turned to a lovely shade of purple, one could almost call it periwinkle.
Miranda’s rage was met with Jack’s cackling, only making the situation worse. “This is not funny! My office is covered in this stuff!”
“Yeah.” Jack snickered. “Well, it ain’t my fault.” Jabbing her thumb Ty’s way, Jack smirked. “Our fearless leader and her krogan baby did it.”
This earned Jack another punch from Ty. “Shut the hell up, Jack.”
“What…?” Turning her gaze to Ty, Miranda crossed her arms. “This isn’t funny, Shepard.”
“Actually, it kinda is.” She couldn’t help her smile at this point, it was rather hard to take Miranda seriously when she was glistening like a sugar plum fairy. “I will say, glitter suits you.” With a laugh of her own Ty took a sip of her own coffee.
Sucking in a deep breath Miranda made to say something, but instead just elected to march off to her office. As soon as she was gone laughter erupted from the rest of the team.
Tali shook her head at the whole situation. “You’re lucky Shepard if it was anyone else she’d throw them out an airlock.”
“She needs to learn how to take a joke.” Zaeed chimed in.
Samara, doing her best to keep a straight face came to sit on the opposite side of Ty. “I didn’t really think you’d go with glitter.” A small laugh escaped her. “Pink was a nice choice.”
A deep laugh emanated from the small kitchenette. Thane, who had been woefully silent, shook his head at the lot of them. “I should have never suggested it.”
@masseffectholidaycheer @runningon4hoursofsleep I’m so sorry this took so long! My art program made me start over again >-< I hope you like it though! I really hope I did Ty justice in this piece. When you said she was a jokester I had to add a bit of fun with her faves and a little fluff with her and Thane since you said F!Shepard x Thane is one of your favorite ships. It was a lot of fun working on this, Ty is a wonderful Shepard 💜
