Untitled Fic Teaser
[Nihlus] silences his [omni-]tool from everything but emergencies everytime he manages to steal time to himself, and the only reason for it to activate involves yet another trek out into space to clean up the mess no one else wants to touch. His companion rumbles in question, but he sighs and shakes his head, giving her a feigned smile and trill in apology. While he really was looking forward to the stress relief, he knows he doesn’t owe her any kind of explanation.
Not that he’d give her any, like he could.
Turning away from her, he starts to push his way through the faceless mass of dancers and drunken patrons grinding to the pounding beat of the club’s music. The sound and presence of so many makes his plates itch as he switches into Spectre Kryik, the alert and call to arms more important that relief. If he still sought pleasure over duty, he’d be no better than the mercs who birthed him. He has his moments of privacy, but he’d be nothing but filth if not for the struggle he endured to gain the position he’s in.
When he manages to get out of the club and into the quieter expanse of the bustling Zakera Ward, he opens his tool’s interface to check the caller before he opens an actual line of communication. Usually, he sends a message to the Council’s communication specialist to alert them of his position in a non-secure location. It gives him time to get somewhere to hear their most definitely sensitive mission parameters.
This hail, however, comes from Saren, his former mentor.
I’m trying to make this supernatural fic more gritty than Parable and Fibonacci. I have no clue if it’s even coming out that way.
friendly reminder* to not compare your progress with someone else’s, different people progress in different ways at different paces and it’s unfair to everyone involved to try and compare individual strengths!
Renegade Garrus gives me life.
That is all
How Damocles manages to bang anyone in his way despite his self-consciousness is beyond me. Not that I’m upset, just congratulating the horny bastard.
I’m about to head to bed, but I’ll leave you guys with a sneak peek into the new supernatural Shakarian fic
A sob wracks through her body as she hears whispers from the dead and she clenches her eyes, letting the tears trail down from the corners of her eyes. A form shifts on her small bed beside her, pushing the blankets off as it moves closer to her at the sound of her distress. She hiccups and open her eyes when the light weight settles on her, looking down to the face of her companion. Her lips tremble at the look of awareness in the eyes staring back up at her, at the knowing in the inhuman eyes.
Swallowing thickly, Jai lifts a hand to pet her one true companion, the one who always seems to know when she’s falling into an episode and is there to pull her out. “Did I wake you?” she asks her faithful companion, Jimmu.
She chuckles weakly when the shiba inu makes not a sound, merely laying his head on her chest. She runs her hand down his back, feeling and just focusing on his soft, copper fur against her shaking hand. A therapist suggested him for Jai, claiming she could find a well trained dog meant to be able to handle cases of post traumatic stress syndrome like hers. She hated to admit to having the issue, but she loved Jimmu’s company, his never ending devotion. Even if he was trained for the position, his calming presence made her feel like he actually cared.
It’s nice to be wanted and loved even after all the horrible things she had done.
3, 4, 5 for any character you like :)
I’m going to go ahead and do the twins for these if that’s alright. 🙂
3. Scars or painful spots
Because they are still young in Efflux and haven’t had too long a career on the battlefield, they lack many bullet holes or blade cuts you’d expect. The few they have, though, aren’t really all that important to them or visually.
Cassia – Cassia doesn’t really have scars. Sure, she might have had a scrape or two in childhood, but overall, she takes good care of wounds and such. It’s not that she’s vain, per se, but thinks ‘why have a scar when I could just as easily prevent it with good aftercare?’
Damocles – Damocles has the obvious scar on his left eye from when Orkamor Urik tried to kill him as a toddler. He has the occasional faint scars around his extra fingers, toe, and small spur on the inside of his foot from when he cut them in frustration and self-loathing, but you wouldn’t notice them unless you knew they were there.
4. Best places to kiss on their body
Cassia – Does the mouth count? Because that’s obvious. Other than that, she loves attention to her neck. Some nice licks and nips will have her purring and melting into a pile of blissful mush.
Damocles – While he also likes kisses on his mouth (which I think comes from both my turian kiss HC and the fact that he grew up watching his parents kiss) he can be turned into an uncharacteristically, incoherent fool when his mate gives licks and nips to his waist and belly. Damo doesn’t often let people focus on it during his trysts because he’s impatient to just get to it, but his mate brings out the best in him. The little attentions relax him more than one-night stands, he comes to realize.
5. Guilty pleasures
Cassia – Cassia loves jewelry. It doesn’t matter if she’s wearing it, a friend, or no one at all. She just loves the intricate beauty of it and the way that simple jewels and metal can be shaped to be so individualistic. Get her jewelry and she’d never stop thanking you and fawning over it.
Damocles – Damocles’ guilty pleasure has to be working out, pushing himself to the very limits. Everyone knows he likes to train, but he really likes to train. He likes it just as much as he likes having sex because it gives the same rush. Plus, he doesn’t have to worry so much about his family telling him he’s being reckless and fretting for his safety like they would in battle. His second guilty pleasure is connected to that, in that he loves to fight with his bare hands. You’ll see plenty of that in Efflux.
Thanks for the asks 🙂
Arcanus for 5 and 20?
Arcanus
5. Guilty Pleasures
Arcanus is much like Garrus in that he enjoys drinking Nulli Secundus. It was something in his family, so it stuck with him. Now he can buy it like it’s air, and he takes advantage of that.
Another guilty pleasure he’s just started to give attention to after so long of being stuck in work is reading. Non-fiction, to be precise. He’ll read anything from war accounts to biographies. He enjoys the knowledge and he often reads things that speak of failings so he can know what not to do. He also finds it intriguing to be able to challenge himself and try to determine where history went wrong, and what should have been done.
20. What-ifs/Alternate timeline
If Arcanus hadn’t have met the Shakarians, he’d probably be dead. In Resurgence, they found out his second in command was plotting to kill him and it probably would have succeeded. His second in command was a friend, an old friend from his days in the military, and though he was always paranoid of another wanting his position, it would’ve surprised him enough to show that split second of weakness. That’s all it takes in his line of business. Good thing that didn’t happen because he not only is alive, but he found Ellie again!
