Spectre Requisitions Letter 2025

I 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.

1. Mordin Solus/Aria T'Loak, Kirrahe/Mordin Solus

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 his partner 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?

 

Kirrahe/Mordin: 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.

 

2. Karin Chakwas/Mordin Solus, Karin Chakwas/Adrien Victus 

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. 

 

Chakwas/Victus: Victus goes through a whole lot while he’s on the Normandy, which overlaps with Chakwas being kicked out of the infirmary for Mordin’s work. When they start talking, what happens after that? Does Chakwas comfort him after his son’s death?

 

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)

 

4. Karin Chakwas/Septimus Oraka, Harry Carlyle/Karin Chakwas

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.

 

Harry/Chakwas: Did they know one another professionally before Harry left for Andromeda? Was there always some kind of spark that they never acted on until the last minute? Maybe Chakwas sends him message throughout 3 that arrive in a delayed manner, like the messages from Liara to Alec. For this one, I’d really prefer it if there’s no storyline where Chakwas also goes to Andromeda because I cannot see her abandoning Shepard & the Normandy; they are totally her family. Harry staying behind, on the other hand...

 

5. Nyreen Kandros/Aria T’Loak, Miranda Lawson/Female Shepard 

Nyreen/Aria: Another case of “anything”! How they got together, and how they broke up (all the angst, delicious angst). Aria’s reaction to Nyreen’s death. Or Nyreen lives and they finally get back together for good. Some possessive!Aria would be great in that scenario. Perfectly ok to address Nyreen’s fears of being swallowed up by Aria, as long as it doesn’t actually happen.

 

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!

 

6. Kal’Reegar/Tali’Zorah nar Rayya, Greg Adams/Tali’Zorah nar Rayya

Kal/Tali: All the romantic fluff! The mission on Haestrom and how it went badly -- maybe something from Kal’s POV where he realizes he’s falling for her. A private reunion on the Rayya during Tali’s trial, where he confesses his feelings and she reciprocates (or maybe she confesses first? Either way is good!). Kal lives after ME3 and they become respected leaders on Rannoch. Geth babysitting their kids?? Another instance where I’ll take almost anything!

 

Adams/Tali: They bond over engineering shenanigans in ME1, and then get to team up again in ME3 after Tali has undergone all that personal growth.

 

7. Nakmor Drack/Urdnot Wrex, Suvi Anwar/Samantha Traynor

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.

Suvi/Sam: Nerdy analytic communications lesbians unite! Maybe they moved in the same circles before Suvi left for Andromeda -- maybe they were long-distance buddies and finally met up for a wild night right before departure. Suvi learns about Sam’s exploits via the message in a bottle type things we see from Liara and Castis Vakarian.

 

8. Nakmor Drack/Lexi T'Perro, Peebee/Female Ryder

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.

 

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.

 

9. Jaal Ama Darav/Peebee/Female Ryder, Jaal Ama Darav/Liam Kosta/Female Ryder

So many great ways this could go! Duo to triad (either duo to start with), or Jaal and (Peebee or Liam) 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. Jaal Ama Darav/Avela Kjar, Kallo Jath/Zevin Raeka

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…

 

Avela/Jaal: 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.
