Okay I'm curious about all of those WIP titles, but how about 'A brief hello, a lasting goodbye'? 👀

From the WIP title game here. One of the several Rhys/Coats WIPs I have rolling around in my head lol.

"You have no respect for privacy."

"Your window's open."

"Fifteen storeys up! That's not an open invitation to every vampire in town!"

"No," Shepard replies, stepping in so close Coats could headbutt him if he were so inclined, and he's fucking tempted, "but following me is. You've no been subtle in your pursuit, y'know. Aria's people had a mark on your head."

And you? But Coats doesn't ask. He knows already. Shepard might play the part when needed but he's nobody's pet, no matter the colours they fly or the logo they wear.

"Why're you here?" he asks instead.

"A question best aimed at you, I think, Jack."

If you'd like another kiss prompt, how about An unexpected kiss that shocks the one receiving it? 👀

It's a kiss prompt ask meme! Thank you very much! Mshenko An unexpected kiss that shocks the one receiving it (oh woah, did I already use up the static-shock idea?! rats!) ++ Kaidan's boots echoed off the deck as he stormed off the Kodiak. Shepard followed a pace behind, a limp in his left leg keeping him from gaining. There was a hiss as Kaidan removed his helmet, slammed it on the console. He made a beeline for the lift, eyebrows furrowed low above his eyes. Waiting at the lift, Kaidan's jaw twitched, fingers curling into his palm. Shepard's eyes darted down, caught sight of Kaidan's fist, slowed for a moment

When the door opened, Kaidan held it for Shepard to catch up. He wouldn't look at him, though. The door closed, leaving an ensign behind who held up a hand to signal he would catch the next one. Shepard didn't see which level Kaidan had selected--and it would tell him something which level Kaidan had selected. Kaidan's chestplate was rising and falling in deep breaths, gave him the sense of being caged even as he stood stock still. Just as Shepard's voice caught in his throat to say something, the lift opened: they were in the Loft. Kaidan stormed out, Shepard limping one step behind. "Kaidan, let me explain. I had to--" His breath hitched. Kaidan had him, not quite cupping but not quite gripping his chin. Fingers pulling him in by the jaw. Kaidan's mouth on his. Pressed into a bulkhead and now cradled by the shoulder. Kaidan tipped his jaw just so, ravished him with the kiss--and now Shepard was responding. When their lips parted, Kaidan caught his breath against Shepard's pulse point. "Wh-what was that for?" Shepard asked, head falling back against the bulkhead when Kaidan's lips began to move against his neck. "Nothing," Kaidan breathed. Their armor squeaked together as they embraced. Kaidan still held Shepard's jaw, more gently now, and when he pulled Shepard back down to look him in the eyes, Shepard leaned his head forward until he could press a kiss to the trembling hand still holding his chin.

"What now?" He asked. Kaidan caressed his face, thumb trailing over Shepard's lip.

"I hadn't thought past this part."

Ooh, could I have 48 and 57 for Caleb and Kaidan? 👀

from this list

Ooo! what great questions! That last one really got me thinking!

48. Who’s the better driver?

Well, considering Caleb doesn't really get actual instruction on how to drive until he enlists (I mean, he does know how to hotwire a car and can get from one place to another while in the Reds, but usually he leaves the driving to others...), gonna have to go with Kaidan on that one, probably. He does get lessons and afterward, he can drive, but Kaidan is a bit...smoother on land? Plus, he's been there in the Mako and heard stories about the Hammerhead and maybe, just maybe, teamed up with Cortez to keep it to Shuttle only during ME3.... >.>

(Caleb, of course, knows this and he doesn't mind one bit! lol)

57. Whose the serious one when grocery shopping and who likes to toss random things in the cart?

ROFL Okay, so this one is HARD! They're both pretty serious and restrained when it comes to shopping. The kids would be the more likely ones to throw stuff into the cart at random (and even then that's only sometimes and with subtle encouragement from Kaidan or Caleb). Still, of the two of them, I'd probably have to go with...Kaidan again. At least at first.

It takes Caleb a couple of years after the war to get used to being a civilian (these are the years Kaidan is mostly up at the Citadel helping rebuild the Spectres) and he does learn to ease up from the Commander Shepard image somewhat and be a bit more relaxed and casual.

Being around Kaidan's mom helps, too. And the kids, of course. Still, it's a good four or five years or so afterward that he probably gets to that kind of, "Okay, just for the hell of it" stage and without prompting himself will feel at ease tossing random stuff into a cart. His years in the Reds and then in the military have formed who he is, so learning to make do with just the necessities is something he's lived with more than half his life. I think between him and the kids during those first couple of years, they learn together how to relax a little and do things that are a bit more fun.

Unless, of course, it's something he sees Kaidan eyeing and gets it into his head that he wants. Then he's much more likely to just toss it in without thinking. That he'd do for any of his really good friends or family as well.

Ok ok. I need to know. Bomb pops or Ice Cream Sandwich.

Oooh tough choice! Now if it were a banana flavored popsicle I would definitely choose that, but since it's not,

Ice cream sandwich!

But bomb pops are the epitomy of summer and it is over 80 today :(

Thank you for the ask! I hope you have an amazing day!

#wren askbox #i dont think i actually got to have many bomb pops growing up #more so ice cream sandwiches #now i buy these fruit cups which is cups of tiny chopped up frozen strawberries bananas and blueberries #its really expensive though but otherwise i have a hard time eating fruit #i need to find a cheaper alternative ha

So I rewatched the last 5 minutes of Banana Fish for an edit I want to make and... Safe to say, I'm not over it T_T

#Yeah I'm crying again #Like full on crying from those 5min #there are already tiny things that I notice now compared to the first time seeing it #but in my defense my vision was blurred by tears (it is now as well but shht) #Banana Fish #Ash x Eiji

Sometimes I think about in grade seven/eight we had a language arts or social studies class I can't fucking remember which and we had to make a safety presentation about landmines. And my group I convinced to do a sock puppet show and let me tell you, it is one of the few school assignments I wish I had record of. I will never be that good again. Cause what happened is that two sock puppets ran into a weird wizard or something I cant remember, who warned them about landmines by singing a song to the tune of itsy bitsy spider. And I'm 90% sure I did the majority of the song lyrics. And I remember it to this day and occasionally think about how fucking fire that shit was and I don't think it was ever properly appreciated. So, read the following to the tune of itsy bitsy spider:

A long time ago there lived a little kid / strayed off the path, that must be what he did / he thought he saw a toy so he went over to play / but something else happened... (said while the wizard sock puppet does an office turn to the camera style look at the audience and stops being sing songy) / and then he went away (said sing songy again as the wizard sock puppet looks back to the other two sock puppets)

I was so unappreciated in middle school. I had iconic shit like that all the time and no one understood my visions.

#there was also the times at lunch where i performed food transplants #where i would take food the peeps at my table (we had like octagon shaped tables instead of desks so there was a handful of people at each) #and would take part of one to put in another #my best work was taking tiny lunchables hot dogs and putting them in holes i had scooped out of an unpeeled banana #so they stuck out like a weird ass pin cushion #god other than the undertale obsession i was so fucking cool in middle school #i would have done numbers on tumblr if i had actually posted my ideas back then #instead i shared them w my friends and was critically underappreciated and bullied for my autism swag

Terroriser: *laughs at his own joke*

Vanoss: Wow, you really liked that joke.

Moo: Yeah, well someone did.

Terroriser: Hey, man, I like to laugh at my jokes, you know why, because I'm fucking hilarious.

*Vanoss laughs*

Terroriser: Someone has to find me funny, and I find myself funny.

I love to say things like "I'm leaving, I'll be there soon" and then spend another 20 minutes (gently!!) swinging my bird around upside down because every time i try to put her down she flies back and then hangs upside down from my fingers again expectantly.

#i do not notice the passing of time during Bird Play Time #also this is going to get someone to call animal protection services on me at some point because if you are unawarw #that this fully flighted bird who can leave at any time #just about demands to be swung around like a weird banana #it just looks like i'm torturing some poor tiny animal :/

Ooh director's cut for TDBTSATS? ⭐

It's a Director's Cut Ask Meme! Thanks very much!!

++

Okay, so when I first started the Difference between the Sea and the Sky, I really wanted to do well with the character voices. The whole fic is written in an extremely objective tone to match the perspective of the game, so the character voices needed to be as close as possible.

Anyway, long story short, there's a document called How Kaidan Talks.xls on my computer. Lol, this is kinda what it looks like

There's a couple other sheets about his dialogue in 2 and 3, his non-verbal cues, the hums and pauses he makes. Kaidan's voice was obviously the most important to me, hahahaa.

Oooh for the WIP guessing game: blue, fierce, mutter?

Oh wow! Good ones!!!! Let me see...

Okay, this one is from a writing prompt I pulled out and dusted off earlier this evening for Caleb and Kaidan:

Barely two steps in the door, Kaidan meets Caleb’s gaze in the mirror; brilliant blue sparkling with humor and delight for reasons Kaidan doesn’t quite understand.

2. A different Caleb and Kaidan snippet - from their first post war story:

They already have a tentative plan, one formed in those last, late days of the war.  One Caleb has held onto fiercely to help see him through the finish.  Waking and knowing he cheated death yet again, it gave him something to focus on during his recovery.  It means more to him than anything.

3. And also from Caleb and Kaidan's first post war story:

Tossing his hands in the air, Coats mutters, “Bloody hell!  What’d I do to get all three of you picking on me today?”

It’s the small things in life you guys…. My mum visited me earlier today for a few hours and it was so nice to just sit next to her and write on my exam and eat lunch together, but I had to leave the house long before her. And when I got back she had left me a tiny gift she had gotten in the city during the day, with a sweet note next to it <3 and I just love her so much

And as if that was not endearing enough, she left me an apple, an orange and a banana, clearly placed in the shape of a smiley. And I cannot imagine her doing that on accident <3

#I love my mum #I love the way she shows love in the tiniest of things #she’s halfway across the country again now and I just want to give her a hug #also the gift was a tiny little frying pan. perfect for banana pancakes or one single circular fried egg #she has it at home as well and I’ve many times told her how amazing it is. also for roasting nuts etc #it’s just…… mum <3 she’s the best really #own post #ALSO because as if she wasn’t amazing enough for all of that #she also messaged me after dinner that she had now left and put the key back in the mailbox and also had left some ice cream in the freezer #that she bought with her boyfriend today. but they didn’t eat all of it obviously. so now I have a few tiny ice creams in my freezer <3 #I love this city and I love the people here and I don’t regret moving here most of the time #but I’m always a bit heartbroken that I now life halfway across the country from my parents and sibling #oh what wouldn’t I do to be able to visit my parents for dinner #to see them spontaneously on a Saturday afternoon just because I wanted to #<3
