From the bitch who brought you turian mermaids (merians) turian naga and those OC stories with kabalam poets and singing turian cowboys, comes some fresh AU—shakarian AU.

Like some eldrich swamp creature I have risen from the stinking muck of the internet after an extended hiatus to toss out an all new chapter fic centered on first contact. This story has:

- Exploration of an alien world

- Enemies to allies to lovers

- POVs from Shepard, Garrus, Ashley Williams and Nihlus Kryik

- Action and Romance

- Absolutely stunning artwork from real-life Canadian land mermaid @savbakk — like holy cow, check the full piece on the last chapter.

Spend your weekend in a scyfi Roman romance with Beneath Palaveni Stars. 😜
