Spectre Requisitions Letter 2022
Feb. 5th, 2022 06:59 pmI hope there’s something in here that sparks your imagination! I’m okay with everything from platonic friendship/fluff to PWP - whatever you’re best at or speaks to you the most. I’d rather have something that you found enjoyable and fun to create than be overly restrictive with my preferences. SFW likes:
1. Mordin Solus/Aria T'Loak, Mordin Solus/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya
For both of these: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get either Aria or Tali off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with.
Mordin/Aria: There's a lot more between Mordin and Aria than is shown on screen. I'd love to see how Aria dealt with Mordin coming to Omega in the first place, and maybe some exploration of Mordin's motives. I'm also just here for how they interact with each other, how Aria bends enough to let Mordin close to her. Maybe they only realize what they meant to each other after Mordin leaves with Shepard, and then comes back later?
Mordin/Tali: They have more in common than not, even if they are nerdy about different things. Maybe Mordin offers to help Tali improve her suit in some manner? I'd love to see them bonding over some sort of techie project, friendship developing into something more - both of them thinking that they can't be together because their own species need them, but finding something good anyways (even if it's for a short period of time).
2. Kirrahe/Mordin Solus, Karin Chakwas/Mordin Solus
Kirrahe/Mordin: For this one, you can either go strictly platonic or tweak canon to make their relationship include sex. Working together during their STG days – butting heads and then eventually coming to respect each other. Maybe they keep in touch afterwards, steal moments together whenever they can. A reunion during ME3, after Sur’Kesh – maybe Kirrahe comes on the Normandy for a time and sees Mordin there. They bury whatever hatchets lay between them because the Reapers make everything uncertain. Maybe that’s their first time together? Mordin lives or dies during ME3, your choice.
Chakwas/Mordin: I am okay with either a mostly asexual Mordin, where the relationship is more about feelings than physical intimacy; and a sexual one where Mordin seeks to please his partner. I really like the idea of him using his omni-tool to get Chakwas off, if that's something you feel inclined to run with.
Both of them are doctors who've been in the military (-ish, for STG, but it's close enough) and have a lot of interesting stories to tell. Maybe Mordin seeks to ease some of the burden Chakwas is under; maybe he helps with the crew after the Collector base mission -- or maybe she helps him with the genophage work in ME3.
3. Greg Adams/Karin Chakwas, Karin Chakwas/Zaeed Massani
Adams/Chakwas: That scene in 3 where Chakwas confesses to Adams that she’s not okay with what happened on the Collector Base… right in the feels! That clearly shows that Chakwas trusts him enough to tell him the truth. Does Adams feel guilty for not having been there to help her? Were they an item before or does that only start when he returns to the Normandy?
Chakwas/Zaeed: Zaeed respects Chakwas for not treating him with kid gloves. Chakwas find herself charmed despite his coarse manners. Yeah, it might be a bit of a cliche, but opposites attract and it leads to something pretty hot -- and maybe sweet, too. (In other words, I'll really take just about anything here :D)
5. Female Shepard/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Female Shepard/Ashley Williams
7. Nakmor Drack/Lexi T'Perro, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex
Drack/Lexi: Drack decides he doesn’t mind the hot asari doctor flirting with him, and eventually taking him to bed. He’s learned to take his pleasures where he can, after all. I’d love to see something that starts as casual and becomes more serious eventually. Kesh is thrilled to turn the tables on Drack, after his reaction to Vorn, and teases him mercilessly. Drack having to deal with Kesh’s kids and his own asari offspring at the same time. 9. Peebee/Female Ryder, Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder
Peebee/F!Ryder: My first Andromeda romance, and I still love Peebee to death. My Ryder was equal parts exasperated and intrigued by Peebee when they first met and it went from there. They’re both nerds, even if Peebee’s a bit more consistently enthusiastic about it. Just let Peebee be her outgoing, enthusiastic, somewhat dorky self and I'm good. If you're feeling adventurous, they could try to use some of Peebee's Remnant research to spice things up in the bedroom.
Jaal/Peebee/F!Ryder: So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and Peebee have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him. Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.
10. Zevin Raeka/Female Ryder, Vetra Nyx/Female Ryder
Raeka/F!Ryder: Ryder has a lot weighing on her, and Raeka is someone who could be her equal - and possibly with a lot weighing on her too, since salarian females are usually supposed to be kept safe and not in the midst of the action! I'd love to see them being adventurous together, either during or after Andromeda.

Yeah, it might be a bit of a cliche, but opposites attract and it leads to something pretty hot -- and maybe sweet, too. (In other words, I'll really take just about anything here :D)
4. Karin Chakwas/Septimus Oraka, Karin Chakwas/Steven Hackett
Chakwas/Oraka: Oraka’s a good guy after he gets over being a jerk about Sha’ira. Maybe they meet up somewhere while Chakwas is working on the Citadel between 2 and 3, or maybe one of Shepard’s adventures brings them together. I’m all for it starting out as a casual hookup before they catch feelings.
Chakwas/Hackett: Okay so there has to be some history with these two. Hackett seems to know pretty much everyone in the Alliance who’s worth knowing. Maybe they were on the same ship at some point, maybe Chakwas had to patch Hackett up after a mission and things got heated. Or perhaps they’ve known about each other but don’t really get to know each other until Shepard starts turning things upside down.
5. Female Shepard/Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, Female Shepard/Ashley Williams
F!Shep/Tali: Tali is basically canonically into F!Shep; run with it! Tali owes Shep so much, maybe there's a case of hero worship at first, but I really want it to be a relationship between equals. Tali is also a constant in Shepard's life and I'd imagine that's comforting, especially as things get increasingly complicated in 3.
F!Shep/Ashley: I love Ashley, I think she gets so much good character development over the three games. I’d love to see how they get together after the tense scene at the end of the Citadel coup in 3, but really I’m okay with whatever you come up with. Bonus points for Ashley having to explain to her sisters that she’s now dating Shepard. Bonus angst points if it’s an Ash POV after Shepard sends her back to the Normandy at the very end, and how Ash deals with (insert your choice of ending here).
6. Female Shepard/Samantha Traynor, Female Shepard/Miranda Lawson
F!Shep/Traynor: Traynor is so smart and competent, and I adore the brick joke of her toothbrush in the Citadel DLC. I’d love to see something light-hearted with the two of them following the whole fiasco with the clone, maybe verging a little onto the angsty side with Traynor needing a bit of reassurance and TLC. I’d also love seeing something with Shepard being so proud of her smart girlfriend.
F!Shep/Miranda: Miranda was ‘engineered’ to be perfect, and then rebuilt Shepard to be ‘perfect’. I’d love to see something where they wrestle with the expectations that have been put on both of them, with Miranda realizing that Shepard sees her as a person; and Shepard realizing that Miranda’s maybe not as perfect as she projects (and accepting where that insecurity comes from). Really, anything sweet and/or sexy with them is welcome!
7. Nakmor Drack/Lexi T'Perro, Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex
Drack/Lexi: Drack decides he doesn’t mind the hot asari doctor flirting with him, and eventually taking him to bed. He’s learned to take his pleasures where he can, after all. I’d love to see something that starts as casual and becomes more serious eventually. Kesh is thrilled to turn the tables on Drack, after his reaction to Vorn, and teases him mercilessly. Drack having to deal with Kesh’s kids and his own asari offspring at the same time.
Drack/Wrex: Cranky old krogans unite! Both of them have Seen Some Shit. They get smashed together before Clan Nakmor leaves with the Initiative, trade stories, try to top one another as far as who did the most outrageous thing. Or maybe they fought/worked together at one point. Drack gives Wrex a hand in the 2183-2185 period as Wrex works to unite the clans.
8. Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka, Jaal Ama Darav/Avela Kjar
Kallo/Raeka: I’m a sucker for arranged marriage tropes, so what if the Jath and Raeka families somehow decide that these two need to pair up? Raeka being a bit put out that her family expects her to start producing eggs when there’s so much work to do. Kallo having a strong attachment to the human Pathfinder and not wanting to shirk his duties. And then the two of them overcoming their doubts and finding some kind of happiness with one another…
Jaal/Avela: Another "arranged marriage special"! You get to hear gossip on Aya about Jaal’s relationship status (mainly, the lack thereof). Maybe there’s arranged marriage traditions among angara, and Jaal is fed up with his mothers’ attempts to set him up with a “nice young woman” so he chooses Avela instead, because she’s attached to her work and is also feeling the pressure of being matched up. Nice, uncomplicated, no feelings … until feelings start to creep in.
Or the more straightforward approach: Jaal gets to know Avela because of Ryder’s visits to the Repository of History, and (once again) feelings ensue.
Peebee/F!Ryder: My first Andromeda romance, and I still love Peebee to death. My Ryder was equal parts exasperated and intrigued by Peebee when they first met and it went from there. They’re both nerds, even if Peebee’s a bit more consistently enthusiastic about it. Just let Peebee be her outgoing, enthusiastic, somewhat dorky self and I'm good. If you're feeling adventurous, they could try to use some of Peebee's Remnant research to spice things up in the bedroom.
Jaal/Peebee/F!Ryder: So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and Peebee have been rivals for FemRyder’s attention and decide they’re okay with sharing. I’d especially love Peebee continuing to tease Jaal about possibly being able to mate with him. Shameless three-way smut, or Jaal bringing both of them home to his mothers.
10. Zevin Raeka/Female Ryder, Vetra Nyx/Female Ryder
Raeka/F!Ryder: Ryder has a lot weighing on her, and Raeka is someone who could be her equal - and possibly with a lot weighing on her too, since salarian females are usually supposed to be kept safe and not in the midst of the action! I'd love to see them being adventurous together, either during or after Andromeda.
Vetra/F!Ryder: Not going to lie, I’ll take pretty much anything here. Vetra’s so confident and dashing, but she’d do anything for her little sister. Maybe F!Ryder feels the same way about her brother (even if he’s not littler than she is). Vetra can be herself around Ryder, something she finds herself greatly attracted to. Perhaps they’ve both got a little daredevil/adventurer streak in them – or more than a little.
