“Well excuse me for assuming that you would want to be lectured on the million reasons walking straight into demon infested territory is a good idea.” Illidan hissed eyeing the elven woman he’d just had to save from nearly being cleaved in two by a group of felguard.

9. Share a headcanon about your Shepard and their LI.

My Shepard Elena and Garrus are SUPER awkward when they first start hitting on each other. Garrus even tries to put cologne on, to see if Shepard will like it. Because Kaidan smelled nice and all, so... 

(If you’re interested in that headcanon, go read this ‘lil piece of mine, First Kiss!)

28. Favorite quote from the game?

Shit. This is a HARD choice... O_o Let’s see... Ah, let’s go with a classic: «I’m commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel. » :P

34. Favorite non-Shepard OTP?

Because I love doing so, here is some people I put together, in the post ME3 fanfiction I’m writing, but also just like that... Because gimme all the ships.

Kelly Chambers X Samatha Traynor (before I found out Chambers dies in the Citadel coup on the Citadel, so it cannot happen... *starts crying* I even gave them a son, Dylan)

Liara X Javik

Vega X Ashley

Vega X Liara

Kaidan X Steve; In my fic, they’re the fathers of one of my main characters, William Cortez-Alenko :)

Urdnot Wrex X Urdnot Bakara (of course!); in my post-ME3 fic, they have two amazing daughters, Ninaki and Sakora.

I suddenly had a Jack X Zaeed vibe... o_o

And a Miranda X Liara vibe too...!!

I know I have more, but I’m unable to think, it seems... But hey, talk me into a ship and I might become a fan. I wasn’t a Kaidan fan and now, I’m like... GIMME F/MSHENKO NOW. :p

12.a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

Illidan was adapting nicely to living on the surface plus the sea wasn't too far away if he felt the need to dip back into his natural habitat. However there was one thing keeping the naga nervous about his new living arrangements, the fact that he was finding himself rather attracted to his generous host.

He was quite aware that she seemed to be flirting with him and he wasn’t quite sure what to make of that. After all she was an elf and he was a naga, surely she didn’t actually want to date a naga of all things.  The last thing he wanted to do was cross a line and make her uncomfortable and himself embarrassed.

But here they were curled up {rather coiled up in his case} by the fire, both of them leafing through books on their laps. Illidan kept looking up from his book to steal a glance at her and hurried looking back  at his book if he thought she noticed.

“Is something wrong Illidan? You seem very jumpy.” She asked breaking the silence between them.

He responded to the sudden realisation that she had in fact noticed by muttering something in Nazja and hiding his face behind his book. “N..n..no nothing’s wrong at all.”

“I errr I just….” He continued his sentence but his words were muffled by the book.

“I’m sorry I didn’t catch that?”

Illidan could tell that she wasn’t going to drop this and he’d dug this hole deep enough it would seem.  He took a breath and collected himself trying to ignore the feeling of blood rushing to his cheeks and ears.

“I sssssaid, Kissssss me.”  His volume was barely louder than a whisper and he was suddenly very embarrassed more so because his  ‘s’  had stuck than what he had actually said. The tip of his tail flicked back and forth in agitation as he waited for her response.

“You’re going to have to move the book for that.” She replied scooting closer to him.

He blinked a few times not expecting this to be her reaction, but obliged as this was what he had wanted after all.

“Relax.” She soothed running a hand over his cheek “Here I thought you were never going to ask.”

7.routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

Being a Demon Lord wasn’t easy work and for Illidan it meant that sometimes other parts of his life would have to make way for his work. Especially given that he was demon enough to be able to several days without sleep or sustenance, he knew he shouldn’t but sometimes it worked out that way.

Luckily Shanarra  was an understanding mate not to mention she had her own work to do, mostly making sure that nobody tried to assassinate him...again.  However that didn’t mean that the two didn’t have time for each other.

“I expect the ships to be here and ready to make the jump by the end of the week. I don’t want another incident where the imps lose one.” Illidan instructed a group of Nathrezim glaring down at them from his throne. He caught a shape moving in the corner of his vision but it was one he recognised so he continued.

“What do you want us to do if problems should arise Master?”

Fel flame eyes flared in annoyance “ Punish someone.”  He kept an eye on the figure that was obviously Shan as he talked noticing she had hopped up onto the armrest of the throne and he leaned forward to be closer to her.  A faint smile appearing on his face as she  met him halfway and planted a kiss on his cheek.

15.a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss

Shortly after arriving in Eldre’Thalas Illidan’s health returned thanks to the abundance of left behind mana crystals and the like. It was a relief to the pair of elves that their long struggle to find a safe place to hole up for awhile had ended in sucess.

Illidan was amazed at how much of the city had held up after the sundering but its inhabitants had fled anyway.

He tried not to wander to far off without Shan as he felt he owed it to her to not make her worry that he had gone and disappeared again. He still felt incredibly guilty that he had done that in the first place.

They sat around a small fire after dinner as they usually did, Shan resting her head on his lap as he read to her from a book they had found in their explorations. Illidan noticed that she seemed to be dozing off and so he set the book down and scooped her up instead, standing up to take her back to their tent.  As he shifted her in his arms he gave her a gentle peck on the lips.

“I love you so much Shanarra.” He whispered in her ear.

He was caught off guard by her hand coming up and cupping his cheek gently guiding his head back down toward her. She then kissed him back more aggressively than he had been expecting given that he thought she was half asleep.

He nuzzled her neck breathing in her sweet scent as they pulled away for breath.

“We can continue this back at the tent you know, safer too I’m less likely to drop you.” He teased.

“Hmm yeah that would be unfortunate wouldn’t it.” Shan teased back.

16.when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead

19.kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing

Illidan was sat on the floor  in the chamber that housed the upper portion of the Nightwell. His legs crossed with his hands resting on his lap, it was obvious from the deep breaths he took and the look of concentration on his face that he was in some sort of meditative state.

So focused was he that he did not hear Shanarra open the chamber door , nor the feel the slight breeze that accompanied his guest as she entered. He did not move or open an eye as she approached though as she neared the ear closest to her twitched picking up on her footsteps.

Shan had checked the area around him to make sure it was free of runes or other magical objects it would be dangerous for her to disturb but found the area around him to be clear. So she hazarded that whatever he was doing was likely not very intensive. She knelt next to him and planted a  kiss on his forehead.

Illidan’s focused expression dropped and was replaced by a signature smirk. Amber eyes fluttered open and he blinked a few times adjusting to the light.

“I wasn’t expecting you to visit tonight Shan.” He said with a purr “Had I been I wouldn’t have been holed up in here.”

“I thought I’d stop by after class and surprise you, I’m taking it you’re surprised?” She giggled.

“I am. It’s not every night my thoughts get interrupted by a beautiful woman, but you won’t hear me complain about that.” He rolled his shoulders and shifted his weight to get up only to be stopped by Shan kissing his forehead again.

“Don’t get up, you look comfortable there.” She said lowering herself into his lap.

He wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her stable and blushed as her face was now inches away from his.

Despite me not really engaging in RP, I’d like you to know I adore getting up in the morning, grab some coffee and read your snips of Shan and Illidan - it’s like, seriously, my favorite morning activity lately. If you don’t mind, I’d love to keep reading you and your AUs - which all have seriously grown on me - so please, let us know when and if you’re moving elsewhere. *hugs if you want them* and take care of yourself first!

// Thank you for the kind words, hearing that people enjoy what me and Shan do is always a great to hear. We’re hoping to still make our work accessible to people who want to see it. 

I will be sure to keep everyone posted on whats going on from here. As right now we’re still thinking it over ourselves.
