Summary
“Colonel?”
She turns and faces him, ready to defend her actions if necessary. But instead, he salutes, and the rest of the men follow suit.
“Godspeed, ma'am.”
She smiles, returning the salute.
She releases the pressure seal on the latch.
She opens it.
A fairly heavily AU (pre-)Reaper War fic where the asari made contact with humanity in the late 21st century, after a classified military spaceflight test goes awry. But it's really a story about CPTSD, self-acceptance, and breaking down the walls we put up between ourselves and others to keep us safe and hidden. And also smut.
A lot of the trans/dysphoria stuff comes from my own experiences as a trans woman. Writing about it is kind of cathartic for me. Also there's a transmasc asari.

Summary
Yup, I went super AU with this one. It's another “the asari make first contact with humans first” fic but this time set in the 1950s, and technically a prequel to Reflections on the Razor's Edge. It'll be somewhat of a slow burn at first, but there will definitely be a steamy romance between Col. Jane Shepard and Liara T'Soni (despite the almost immediate thirst aplenty between them, who am I kidding, they're soul mates). I was sort of inspired by another Mass Effect fic on AO3 by drabbles (https://archiveofourown.to/works/23786239) that was based on the movie Arrival (2016) and it was really just super brilliant, but appears to have been sadly discontinued. I guess I wanted to retell it, and put my own spin and interpretation on it.
Some of the asari language terms, and also certain references to asari culture and biology, are derived from the amazing work of alephthirteen, another author here.
Also, again since this is very heavily AU, in this telling and at this point in history, women have long been equal in the structure of the US military and so we will be seeing some high-ranking female officers like Jane Shepard. Other than that, not much is changed in the culture of the 1950s.
