“There’s a possibility I’m wrong,” he said quietly at Mouse’s shoulder. The other man jerked like he’d been electrocuted, spun around and very nearly yelled something. Kolyat stabilized him with a hand on his shoulder, and shut him up with a winding strike to the gut. Mouse wheezed, crumpled a little. Kolyat scanned the other parents milling around the school, waiting for their children to be dismissed - none of them were paying attention, they were too far away to be heard. Good. He looked back at Mouse, who was trying to straighten up, and cut to the chase. “You’re following me.”

K: Look, this is the wrong way to tell you. This needs to be done over a call. Saying it over a chat is cheap, and I’m not going to wait for you to get here. I’ve already put it off way too long

“Don’t promise that yet. It’s…I should’ve told you a lot sooner.”
Thane paused. “You can tell me now.”
Yeah, he could. But how? “You know…I tried since we last sat in a chat together. T o put together everything I need to say? And it’s just impossible. I don’t think you could even do it, and you talk like you’re reading from a script. This is just-“
“Please, just tell me. Start anywhere.”
“Promise me you’re coming to the Citadel.”
“I promise. Three days.”
Kolyat didn’t know whether or not to believe him. For the first time since he was about ten, he felt optimistic. He wanted to believe that Thane would keep his promise. “Okay. Alright, that’s-“ It wasn’t a promise for him, not in his eyes. It was something even more important and hopefully Thane would see that. It would have to do. He’d have to explain it properly, impress the importance on his father. He had to get this one thing right. “You can’t disappoint him. I already told him all about you

Excuse me while I am melting through my chair out of sheer glee. They're all so perfect. I love them. You're portraying all their relationships so realistically, I can't get enough of it. Also, troll!Shepard for the win! Thank you so much for including that!
PS. WILL THERE BE MORE SEQUELS OH PLEASPLEASEPLEASE I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE THANE-KOLYAT-VASAED INTERACTION! PLEASE, AUTHOR!ANON!

Plannin' to write another. I'm having fun with this, especially the whole telling it through Kolyat's perspective - he's such a fun brat to write for. Again, I'm open to suggestions!

AWESOME, ANON! I am enjoying this story so much you wouldn't believe it!
I am still voting for MShep/Thane reveal to Kolyat just so he too would have a few surprises! :D
Other than that, maybe it'd be nice how the three of them are functioning together? Trying to be a family, three generations of Krioses? ...That's an almost scary mental image. XD Also, Thane having to babysit and Kolyat calling him every half an hour to make sure he hasn't screwed up somewhere. Also, Kolyat coming home or walking by and seeing Thane and his son "dancing crazy" and his reaction to that.
Forgive me, anon, I am full of suggestions, I can't help it! You asked! :D
A vote for Thane shipping!

Third, passerby-anon agrees that Thane/M!Shep would be pretty awesome in this story. Not as a focal point, of course, but just as another element of anti-social-norms that this story seems to be playing with. Especially if we get to see this Shepard (who is oodles of fun despite his minor roll--very good job with that, author-anon) interact with Vasaed, I'm all for it. It could be really, really interesting as a small facet of this story, if the author-anon decided to go there.

I agree. The author is obviously portraying realistic scenarios and reactions -keeping the characters very IC- and Male Shepard with Thane is not even available in the games, so it wouldn't be canon or realistic at all.
