i’m always a slut for sleeper agent shiro being sent to kill keith, who thinks he can complete his mission without any issues, but who always stops short because his love of keith overrides everything the galra tried to program in him
hahahaha fuck I forgot about this pre season 6 post I made
“don’t move, i’m the only thing standing between you and a hole in the
head” says canonically 5"3’ shepard to a possibly 7"0’ sidonis,
with garrus’ scope trained on them from both distance and height. from his
vantage point up on that gangway, she probably only came up to sidonis’ waist
which means shepard knew damn well her being ‘in’ garrus’ scope would have little
to no effect on whether or not he chose to take the shot. the only thing that
was holding him back was his trust in shepard, not her head in his scope. it was such a visceral moment
and they both knew it
and when i think about the extent of the unconditional trust between these two,
and how this right here was probably the defining moment when they fully realised just how much faith they had in each other and how that faith was wholly returned,
these two soldiers from different species, species who have a leery past and were
taught at a young age to distrust the other, it just
just moving along like everyone else
