Gotta love the commitment that Steel has to protecting “Bear”
Like, imagine you’re some mid level political weasel or gossip in the citadel
• Suvi, the Apprentice Archmage goes missing on a trip to say goodbye to an “old family friend”
• Steel rushes off to Port Talon ready to do battle (i mean it’s steel so i think she’s ready to do battle wherever she goes)
• Steel returns with a girl in a coma, the missing Suvi, and someone that looks explicitly like her brother
• Steel tells the world that this dude is Bear. Perhaps even that he is allegedly the strongest man in Silbury
• This guy, from a backwater town in the middle of nowhere, with no formal training in sword craft or really any fighting, gets named the Protector of the Archmage Apprentice, adopted kid of the Sword of the Citadel, child of two fallen heroes, the girl on the fastest track to leadership they have
• Instead of putting this “Bear” through his basics like any scrub, Steel personally trains him. The fucking First Sword of the Citadel takes time out of her busy ass day to make sure this country bumpkin can stab things with the pointy end
Steel personally and deliberately set the rumor mill alight. Of course Bear is Soft’s kid. Look at the resemblance. Look at who is looking after him. And Of Course she denies it because she’s still protecting Soft’s good name. And I’d bet good money that she goes out of her way to keep her denials as vague as possible
stuff like “We all know Soft and Stone only had Suvi.” or “I won’t dignify such an ugly rumor with a response” because Steel is a fucking tactician and when you’re the top General of anywhere the tactical maneuvering of politics and people is just as important as on the battlefield

“yeah, just like old times”
i just know echo was so excited to go home to the 501st after skako minor. he knew it would never be the same, that he would never be the same, but at least he would be reunited with fives. fives who would treat him the same as old times, who he would share even more adventures with as he did before. fives who was his best friend. his brother.
oh wait nvm fives is dead.

Thinking of the citadel dlc again. Thinking of how, at the first silhouette of Kai Leng you see when you're talking to TIM i immediately assumed it was a clone of Shepard because "Of course they recorded all of shep's biometrics before shipping them off for galaxy-saving; that's just common sense in case they explode again or betray cerberus"
AND THEN it wasn't a clone it was just some guy
And then it fucking was again and I had no one to yell at "I FUCKING KNEW YOU GUYS HAD ANOTHER ONE LAYING AROUND"

Aro & Ace books: Dark YA high fantasy
(in this instance by dark I mean spooky or gothic vibes, dark aesthetic, supernatural elements related to death)
Beneath The Citadel - one of the 5 MC's is an ace girl
Vespertine - MC is word-of-god aroacespec (no romance in the story)
Beyond The Black Door - demi girl MC, ace boy LI, ace trans man SC (see also In The Ravenous Dark - major side character is ace & nonbinary)
Clariel - aroace coded girl MC
What We Devour - ace girl MC (f, m/f)
This Dark Descent - demidemi girl MC (m/f) and questioning aroacespec girl MC (latter only vague so far)
