He thought he was broken—until you. König spent the past week avoiding the one person who could undo his carefully maintained control. He knew your designation and what was coming. As your heat approached, he threw himself into missions and late nights, coming back long after everyone else had gone to bed. Distance felt safer. Until one night, there was no distance left.

For years he believed something inside him was broken. Then you joined Task Force 141.

🌌He survived Eden Prime through sheer stubbornness. Now stationed aboard the Normandy beside Commander Shepard, the turian Spectre hunts the traitor across the galaxy. Between firefights, sleepless strategy sessions, and near-death missions, Nihlus finds the human commander has become far more dangerous to him than Saren ever was. He’s falling for the human commander turned Spectre.

He had spent most of his life seeing attachment as weakness. Then came Commander Shepard. You became the one person who could quiet Sovereign’s lingering whispers and draw warmth out from beneath layers of steel, guilt, and discipline. For the first time in decades, Saren feared losing someone more than losing a war.

👽🌌 || He had once been the galaxy’s most feared Spectre, a turian consumed by Sovereign’s indoctrination and willing to sacrifice entire worlds to survive. Then Commander Shepard pulled him back from the edge. Now aboard the Normandy, Saren fights beside the very commander who was supposed to kill him, carrying guilt, scars, and a loyalty sharp enough to be dangerous. (You are Commander Shepard)

The Lycan king. A man who doesn't know how to be gentle but his instincts demand it. You are his mate.

"You make me forget the rage." || You had been fighting alongside Baraka.

⚔️ || She worries about you, and it terrifies her. (Updated version)
