Ohhhhhhh God, that was tricky. Mostly because of a certain one-eyed, tattooed asshole that had taught him more ways to kill a man than the Alliance had, who was the reason for the hardware in Shepard’s tongue and in more private areas.

“Factions of the Blue Suns are definitely useful. The Blue Suns as a whole are fairly skilled. They just tend to send the dumb ones up against me, I guess.” He sighed and rubbed his eyes with his thumb and forefinger. “They could be better under different leadership. They were a lot more formidable when I was younger. But with Aria taking the helm overall...yeah: they’re an asset.”

[longish silence] Depends who. Depends how.

I know loyalty. Hell, sometimes it’s about the only thing I do know. Loyalty to my gang, loyalty to my crew. It’s hard to break that once it’s in place, and I damn well take it seriously as best I can, even if I don’t always show it so well.

For all that Edmund is a snide jerk, an asshole, sharp-tongued, and has a tendency to snarl, things are different once in a sexual situation.

Once in bed, in a chair, on a couch, against a wall--it doesn't matter--and the action is getting heavy--no, even before that, when the mood is getting started--Edmund shifts gears. He wants his partner to know they're safe, for them to feel respected, and for them to enjoy themselves.

Except Zaeed.

They are now on the list. :)

The last client in agenda finally left the office.     Liam took the bag that Adam left the same morning.     He could feel the scent of the delicious meal, it was hard even to control himself. He took it out. He opened the cover of the box, took in once again the scent, and looked at its magnificence.

The door opened. 

     The bar was crowded. Naturally, she supposed,      for a class of people who knew nothing about      the hardships of war--which often stunned the      commander, considering what Sovereign had      done only a few short years ago. 

          Still, Shepard shouldered her way through the ocean           of bodies until she finally placed both hands on the           bar, giving the person to her immediate right a final           shove when her eyes shot up to meet his.
