I wanted to do all sorts of drawings for #thaneweek2018 but I ran out of time and energy. Here’s 2 drawing I managed to complete within this week (krhm, today).

Thane Krios Appreciation week is almost upon us! Tune in to @lizardassassin February 12th-18th, as this blog will be host to all Thane related creations, from fanart, fanfiction, screenshots, gifs, edits, etc. 

When: February 12th-18th

How: Create and share all of your Thane Krios related content: art, fanfictions, playlists, aesthetics, edits, gifs, manips, renders, metas- whatever you have, we want to see it! 

Where: Post your content using the #thaneweek2018 tag and everything will be reblogged onto this blog! Make sure to use the event tag within your first 5 tags so we can see it in the tag! Or, if you’d prefer, you can directly submit your post to this blog as well! If it’s been a couple of days and your post still hasn’t found it’s way onto this blog, please send a message and we will try to track it down.

Our goal is to make a master post at the end for folks to easily search for the content they want.

Ground Rules:

Please be respectful of others. We’re all here because we love Thane Krios and Mass Effect, so lets keep it civil and friendly.

Ideally, we want put together a safe, fun, and stress free week for everyone involved. So please refrain from using slurs, racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic/transphobic language and content in the tags and your submissions. Keep it respectful, utilize the “read more” feature, and tag your post appropriately with the correct trigger warnings. 

NSFW content is welcome, but let’s keep it explicitly consensual and make sure it is tagged appropriately. 

Important tags:

As mentioned above, for the safety and enjoyment of everyone involved, please be courteous and tag your submissions appropriately. Below there is a short list of some important ones to keep in mind for Thane week:

Alternative Universe/Headcanons: Should be tagged as #AU and/or #headcanon, respectively. 

Anything concerning a cure for Kepral’s Syndrome: should be labelled as #Thane Cure tw or #Cure tw and kept under a “Read More.” We want to be respectful to everyone’s vision, but please keep in mind that for many people, the idea of a cure for Kepral's Syndrome is hurtful and ableist. Let’s try to take care of one another and be mindful of how content affects others. 

Please tag all steamy bits (smut/nudity/etc) as #NSFW so those who are browsing at work or around little ones can do so freely.

Themes: Meant to be a guideline only, if you want or need to follow them. They’re not a requirement, only friendly suggestions to get the conversation going. Each day we will post some prompts relating to the theme for people to go off of.

February 12th: Childhood. 

February 13th: Family Life. 

February 14th: Valentine’s Day. 

February 15th: Crew Life.

February 16th: Religion.

February 17th: Downtime.

February 18th: Free For All. 

We must carry the weight of our decisions, Shepard. 

Finally finished that Shrios sketch from last year, and just in time for Thane week :D

For Day 6 of Leather & Lace (Friends/Enemies to Lovers) I decided to also write something for Thane week being hosted by @rock-paperback-scissors on @lizardassassin. So I wrote some friends to lovers for Thane and femShep! ^_^

Saying The Words

“Siha?”

Thane’s voice was soft in the darkness, almost too soft to be heard, and Jane turned to find him watching her. His dark eyes reflected the light of the stars from the observation window, and they seemed to glow softly as he sat forward and rested his chin on his folded hands. His expression was neutral, almost unreadable, but she could see a tightness to his jaw and some tension around his eyes that spoke of … nerves?

Surely not; Thane didn’t get nervous.

“Siha, do you still consider us to be friends?” he continued in the same measured tone, though there was an edge to his voice.

Jane froze for an instant, the question throwing her. They were friends. In fact, there were times when she felt closer to Thane then she did anyone else on the ship. His stories about his family had touched her so deeply that she’d felt safe enough to share stories of her own family. And when she was around Thane she didn’t feel the need to be Commander Shepard all the time; she could relax and be herself.

But … there was more to it then just that. More to it than just friendship. She felt drawn to the drell in a way she had never felt drawn to anyone before. She ached to reach out and feel the texture of his skin for herself, to feel the strength of his muscles, and had woken from one too many dreams in which Thane featured in a very amorous role.

Were they friends? Yes. But she wanted more.

She nodded slowly and sighed, unable to keep a lack of enthusiasm from her voice as she answered. “Yes, we’re … friends.”

Thane tilted his head, and his eyes shimmered slightly as he reached forward and caught one of her hands with his. “I’m not sure I can be … friends.” Jane blinked in surprise, but he just smiled. “There is something building between us, Siha. I can feel it. I believe you can too. It is making it hard to be friends when I wish to be more.”

The rest is under the cut!
