“For the record,” Kolyat said, “this is the lamest family hangout ever.”

           “What?” Thane blinked uncomprehendingly at him, the way he often did when Kolyat tried with great effort to impart standard social guidelines on him. Perhaps he had been less hopeless when he was younger, or else Kolyat marveled that his mother had ever thought Thane possible to domesticate. The man seemed flummoxed by the most basic standards of a life that didn’t include sleeping in a mob boss’ ceiling or sewing up bullet wounds with dental floss. “You needed to come, I needed to come…doesn’t this work out nicely?”

           “We’re at a laundromat,” Kolyat said, in case the chintzy neon flamingos along one wall or the groovy new wave geometric art plastered on the front windows didn’t give it away. Or the row of clothing dryers which Kolyat was leaning back against. “Congratulations. You actually beat the time Uncle Qulax took me to see his tax lawyer on my birthday.”  

           The accusation did not have as much bite as Kolyat had imagined it in his head—that was the case annoyingly often these days—and Thane never bristled or took a defensive tone or ignored him. Instead, he always seemed to take everything Kolyat said with utmost seriousness, looking at him with this hangdog-seeking-forgiveness look, expecting—welcoming­—Kolyat to heap more guilt or chastisement on him.

           It took all the fun out of berating or guilt-tripping him.

           “Did he do that?” When Kolyat did not elaborate, Thane prompted him, as usual taking note of the wrong thing.

           “Yeah. Auntie had an emergency at work so she couldn’t pick me up from school,” he said, wondering as he said it why he was telling Thane such a pedantic story. It was barely interesting to him and he’d been there.

           “I see.” It was hard to tell if Thane didn’t know what to say to him, or if he was just not a talkative person. Kolyat was beginning to suspect it was both.

Alive, Just to Watch the Bruises Heal - Chapter 2

Whumpuary, Day 12 - Prompt: Old Injuries

Shepard wants her old scars back, and there's only one person she trusts to do it

Okay, this one is probably the nastiest my whump stories are going to get. Be warned: blood, injury, trauma, and some very bad coping mechanisms.

AO3 Here

Shepard rolled over and looked at Thane. His eyes were closed and his breathing measured, but she didn't think he was asleep. She hadn't taken the anti-hallucinogens Mordin had provided to counteract the toxins in Thane's saliva and sweat, and though the first rush of chemical stimulation had come and gone while they had sex, Shepard was still pleasantly high. Logically, she knew Thane was immune to his own effects, but she couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to live like this all the time. It was the first time in months she hadn't been in pain.
