Summary:
Mass Effect World War II AU. Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko of the Royal Canadian Navy is trained as a special ops engineer now on loan to the US Navy to aid in their efforts against the Japanese in the Pacific Theater. His mission seems straightforward enough, until he boards the famous USS Enterprise and her unstoppable crew; namely a battle-hardened war hero named Commander Ianto Shepard, who is rapidly growing in fame for his reckless, but effective tactics. And when the Allies begin to lose footing in the Pacific, Captain David Anderson hopes that Kaidan’s skill in intelligence and infiltration will be the perfect ying to Ianto’s brutally aggressive yang. But as their crew fights from Midway all the way to D-Day, Kaidan and Ianto discover so much more in each other than the perfect battlefield harmony, and a refusal to bow to a world falling apart around them at every turn. They’ll do anything for the cause. For each other. No matter the cost.
*deep breath* I hope y’all are ready for my magnum opus.
