A real alien! she thought. There’s an alien ship with an honest-to-god alien in it in my woods! She was vaguely aware that this was not the typical reaction someone should have to a spiky metallic alien from space, but she had grown up on comic books and sci-fi double features much to her parent’s chagrin. Bless them, they had tried so hard to get her to fit into the stereotypical “girl” role, but she had made a career out of rebelling against the mold. Her brother John had had a hand in that, too, ensuring that she’d grow up a tomboy. He was always dragging her into the barn to try out the new rope swing he’d set up, or going drag racing with his friends in the middle of the night (those same friends had introduced her to her first liquor at the age of twelve). When he’d volunteered to fight the Germans, she had joined up with her fellow Rosie the Riveters to help out the war effort and had been right at home wearing pants and machining parts for tanks. As soon as he’d gotten back from Europe, John had immediately bought a few

Humbled A!A here, guys, thanks for all the comments! You're really helping me keep up the momentum. I keep going over the story so far and finding little things that I could change (Shep has an empty mug, then suddenly there's tea in it again) but hopefully it's not too jarring. I'll probably post a cleaned-up copy to ff.net when this is over. Anyway, updates ahoy!__________

They sat down at the table and she watched him eat. His mouth didn’t close completely, so he had to tilt his head back and swallow each bite with minimal chewing. Those teeth of his looked more suited to piercing and tearing, and so did the rest of him for that matter. Maybe turians were what the dinosaurs would have evolved into had they not been wiped out. There were evolutionary biologists out there who would kill for the chance to study him . . . and that was one hell of a sobering thought. If she’d learned anything about human nature from watching the news reels showing the concentration camps in Auschwitz and Dachau, it was that for every person with good intentions there was someone else willing to exploit them. No, she had to play this very carefully from here on out

So the scene of Shep singing in the kitchen (and as far as I'm concerned dancing badly and shaking her butt) while Garrus is just leaning in the doorway smiling made me so stupid happy I decided to do a little thumbnail for ya, because doing a whole image would require so many period refs and perspective checks I would lose my mind
Art!anon just realized she didn't check Shep's outfit before doodling/coloring, but alac we'll just have to live with cute yellow dress. Um... it fit my color scheme better?
