Disconnect
Disclaimer: Mass Effect does not belong to me, it belongs to Bioware and EA. I make no money from this work of fanfiction at all.
Warnings/content note: Alien genitalia, infidelity, emotional issues, gender bender and slash, adult language and situations, maybe the longest piece of smut I have ever written.
Timeline: Sometime during Breeder, after Kaidan has departed the Normandy and Thane has been recruited and had his loyalty mission.
Pairings: Paragade Shepard/Thane Krios
Summary: Extra smut that did not make it into Breeder and has a dubious relationship with the rest of the story. Derek becomes concerned for Thane after it becomes obvious the drell is neglecting himself after he has successfully saved Kolyat and knows he is likely to die during the suicide mission. Derek can't stand the idea of anyone on his ship thinking they are alone.
( He would not eat, he would not sleep, would not bathe, but instead Derek would walk in on him sitting there. )
