No context, just, I love you Commander... generic Commander. Everyone's Commander. Fully voiced mmo protag who is allowed to make individual choices to the extent it doesn't break this type of game. Commander with their own personality. Not just a blank slate who says nothing, thinks nothing, has no meaningful relationships with anyone.

I love you Commander. Sassy, cheeky, sad, angry, funny Commander who eats garbage for Hero Points. Thank you Anet

Ficlet: One More Question

Martin takes the opportunity to ask a question that's been gnawing at him, hoping to make sense of what his choices could mean for his heart. Season 4, implied Peter/Elias.

--------

“Hm? Is there something else?”

Martin thinks he can see strain in Peter, a kind of pulling at the edges. But that isn’t right, he’s as solid as ever… at least for a monster that can be here one moment and gone the next like a bad hallucination determined to manipulate a person into carrying out its dark machinations.

“Oh, um. I just. Well, here goes: you’re in a relationship.”

Peter’s eyes lid, giving his craggy face something of a calculating cast. Martin is sure the temperature in his assistant’s office has dropped precipitously, but he plows ahead anyway. If this avatar believes opening up will secure Martin’s loyalty...
