Summary
Peace does not extend to breakfast.
“You’re awfully quiet for someone who just put out such a magnificent spread.”
Kaidan waggles an eyebrow. “Resting on my laurels.”
Shepard knee stays at rest against his, and Kaidan leans a little more into it. The weight of it, the presence is…reassuring.
The sparrow that wings in from the roof and alights on Shepard’s stack of pancakes is less reassuring.

Summary
The captain and first mate of the Burner have been best friends for as long as they can remember. At some point, between cyborg surgeries and stealing ships, running away from their home planet and fighting off every soldier and bot the tyrannical Kane Combine sent after them, they might have accidentally fallen for each other, too. But they're best friends, and whatever either of them might feel for the other one has been ending up unspoken for years.
Until the universe solves their problems for them. A string of bad luck dumps each of them into the arms of a perfect, mysterious stranger in an anonymous hook-up terminal in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately it's hard to start up a relationship when every detail about your partner is wiped out of your brain as soon as your hook-up is over. And the closer they get to the mysterious strangers they've been meeting, the further they seem to pull away from each other.

Summary
"Thought we lost you." His voice is a crackle; sap popping as it burns in the fire. The log charring in the kindling. There was a battle in his head; artillery fire in the gaps of his eyes. "Thought we— fuck, pet. Thought you were gone, and we couldn't do a damn thing about it."
His knuckles graze the mark in your temple, gentle around the tight, irritated flesh—it's proof that you lived, that despite the tragedy of the betrayal from the man you counted on the most, you survived. You made it. You won.
His touch is featherlight. But his eyes–
His eyes are heavy with the promise of nothing but ruin.
(it's like holding a lit cigarette to your pulse.)

Summary
When the battle is over and the war is won, the soldier puts down his gun and returns to the life he had before; a life of peace and remembrance. But what happens to those who can't let go? Whose peace never comes and whose remembrance brings only pain and suffering?
Shepard struggles to regain his sense of personhood after years of constant warfare, his life irreparably damaged by what he saw and did. But all is not lost-- not when he has the strength to ask for help.

Summary
And how unfortunate it is, that he has to leave. Despite his best efforts not to lay roots, bits and pieces of Sunset Bird have managed to wriggle their way into his pockets. There's no doubt he'll be sweeping sand off the carpet for months to come.
