Summary
Kasumi stared at him from beneath her cowl, "Look at the Commander, what do you see?"
What did he see?
"She is a warrior, unmatched, truly, she glows on the battle field," Kasumi still held that expectant look in her eye and Thane knew he should give in, "Off the battle field? She's beauty incarnate. I grow weak when she merely glances my way."
"Wow," Kasumi chuckled with a wry smirk, "You're in deep."
Thane agreed. He was in deep and he wanted to drown in her.

Summary
Ten years have passed since the war. With the last mass relay built, some of the original Normandy crew gather for its activation. But something goes horribly awry, and an explosion opens a rift. The Normandy is sucked into an Einstein-Rosen bridge, and Shepard wakes up later to a silent CIC. The crew is missing, and just outside the cockpit window, a mass relay is in view. The only problem is that it looks similar to the relays destroyed during the war.
Sucked through space and time into another universe three years before the Reaper Invasion. What will Shepard change? How will it change her?

Summary
So thanks to @Thesarabeara for the idea!! Go check her stuff out cause she's got the ability to turn you to the dark side!
So the story prompt was "What if Thane and FemShep were both teens and met for the first time on the Citadel when Thane was completing his training as an assassin? Give them a sweet meet cute before they meet years later and she recruits him but she doesn't know he's now Dark Thane and he makes her his."
And seeing as this is for Thesarabeara you bet your ass theres sex scenes involved in chapter 2!!
Strap in and enjoy!

Summary
A retelling of the romance between Shepard and Thane Krios in Mass Effect. Covers ME2. Takes a look at the trauma Shepard has accumulated, and her coping skills (or lack thereof).
Mixed Thane and Shepard POVs, with other brief character POVs as necessary. Smut chapters marked with * because sometimes you just want naughty things, and I respect that.
I own nothing from BioWare. Some dialogue is lifted directly from the game.
A preview:
I watch from the vents, blood and carnage play out below me. A quariuan, odd. A turian, interesting. A human at the head, dancing through battle. A flow of blood bathes her as she kills a mercenary with her omniblade. Another comes from behind. Headshot. Dead. “Scoped and dropped!”. Cheeky banter calls back. Humor in her voice. Lilting laughter like bells. She is marvelous.

Summary
She is Commander Shepard, and this is her favorite coffee shop on the Citadel. One day while on shore leave, Shepard has a fateful encounter with a drell, one Tannor Nuara. They keep bumping into each other, and eventually form a friendship. This friendship, in turn, becomes something more. Are they destined to be together, or will fate keep them apart in the war to come?
Follows the events of the Mass Effect series. As the story progresses, we take a look at the trauma Shepard has accumulated and her reactions to it, as well as her coping skills (or lack thereof).
Rated E for eventual smut. Contains game dialogue. I own nothing from BioWare.
Smut chapters marked with *, because sometimes you just want some spice, and I respect that. Live your dream.

Summary
Thane settled flat on his back in the grass, staring up at the sky. “And until recently, Shepard and I were running toward death together. She might never have thought of it that way, but I did.”
“Yeah, well, you were wrong, and the least you can do is show up so she can tell you so. I know I’m never going to hear the end of it.” Garrus watched him for a moment, then stretched out on his back too.
Thane said nothing for a long moment, twisting his fingers together. “I do want that,” he whispered. “I shouldn’t, but I do.”
“You really are the most depressing man on the planet, you know that?” he said, with too much fondness behind the words. “If you need backup, you should know who to ask by now.”
Thane said nothing again, long enough Garrus glanced at him, to find Thane staring, his dark eyes unblinking. “Would you? If I asked?”
Garrus sat up abruptly, a clumsy attempt to hide his blush. “I just said so. Spirits. Don’t make a big deal out of it. I owe you enough.”
“No.” Thane was still watching Garrus, his eyes unreadable. “There are no ledgers kept between comrades.”
***
Thane fucked up a while ago. Garrus will help him make nice with Shepard, if he wants.

Summary
When drell assassin, Thane Krios, came aboard the Normandy, he had one intention: to seek a worthy death. He believed that Shepard had offered him that. He had been spending his final months reviewing his life—his past, his failures, his deeds. He had thought he had nothing left to live for.
He would find out that he was wrong, for he had just found someone who could give him—not death—but a reason to live.
-This story plays through the events of ME2, detailing the Thane/Shepard romance throughout. It is the first in a two-part series which rewrites the events of ME3 and Thane’s fate.-
