   Summary

   Shepard always thought she'd seen it all, and the Universe *always* had a way of proving her wrong at every turn. But this time it was different. Nothing could have prepared her for this... (A found family re-telling of Mass Effect 3 that explores the question: What if the kid from the vent was just a kid?) Rating upgraded from T to M due to mentions of alcohol. No smut.
