*snip* A Human Day fan comic. It was given a seal of approval by Thane's original writer, Chris L'Etoile. A Human Day by Grey CarterI finally got time to read it. I loved it! Thanks for sharing! I'm adding it to the OP

I just played through Thane's death scene for the first time on a Shep that romanced him. I didn't really think about it on my other runs, but they glossed over his death completely. Not one mention from crew members? I would think at least Garrus/Joker would have said something, since they knew him from ME2. But no, nothing. Bleh. Made the whole thing even more depressing. I get sniffly every time I go through his death anyways. I can see where they cut content, I really wish they hadn't though. It makes it seem like they forgot to add him to the game until the last minute. I like to think there is no way my Shep wouldn't have asked Mordin to look into a cure for Thane. Even if he couldn't work on it himself, he would have contacts that could. Probably NSFW, so under spoiler Goodnight Thane Source: www.deviantart.com/art/Good-night-Thane-316070228

Oh! those mods you are using are nice. It's funny, I romanced Thane with my Renegon, she is an adept. According to the lore using biotics is really exhausting, so I based her ruthlessness on the fact that she felt the need to finish off her enemies before she got tired during battle. I ended up imagining her as quite brutish, yet at some point I decided to compensate that by making her quite girlish when outside of her armor... that white dress there... in black and a couple more of modifications, would be quite her thing... The first screenshot made me remember how much we squeed in the old Thane thread when the first flycam shoots came in and we discovered this... That hand...

It was really refreshing that Thane would reciprocate interest in Shepard regardless if she flirted with him or not. Even the flirts were dignified and respectful to both her and Thane. *sigh* oh what could have been... (Yes, I do headcanon that there is some romantic interest from Thane since even if Shepard doesn't say anything, she will be called siha by Thane. He promised to tell her what it meant, but then it changes and she never knows...)

I just watched Thane's scenes on the Citadel DLC again. He is probably my favorite romance second to Kaidan, but my heart... cannot.... handle it. I remember I shared this song before to commemorate Thane and my Jane Shepard. I'll share it again here because I feel like the lyrics fit Thane so perfectly.
If I'd have known it was the only time I would see your face Then we'd celebrate When I'm alone, living is only time Till I see your face Though it's not today
When I'm alone it is the only time I will see your face When I'm desperate Now I'm alone, building my holy shrine Where I'll see your face And then contemplate
If everything that's new is a lie It's that same damn morning And the same damn sky
All I do brings me close to you Whatever you'd ask me to Though I can't take back what's taken from me All I see becomes a part of me And even if you don't believe Well, I'll see you where the river meets us
Fighting the tide that takes me home Only dreaming of the day When the world will go away A world that's full of pain We fight the fight so that might know the fear of our mortality If you breathe between the waves You will end up in a lake
All I do brings me close to you Whatever you'd ask me to Though I can't take back what's taken from me All I see becomes a part of me And even if you don't believe I'll see you where the river takes me

It's quiet down here... Inspired by opuspace asking "when did your Shep fall for Garrus in game?" back in the Garrus thread, I bring you some heavy headcanon about my Thanemancing Shepard and how she started to gravitate towards him... Neveen Shepard Earthborn War Hero Adept Renegon Romanced Kaidan There is a conversation between Shepard and Thane where he explains his beliefs. How he prays to Kalahira Goddess of the Oceans and Afterlife when he has taken his target...Well, when she had that conversation with him she snapped... The last thing she remembered was drifting in the vast empty space while air was getting out of her suit, and the certainty that death was coming for her. Then she woke up in a Cerberus facility under attack... no heaven, no hell, nothing... she doesn't believe in all that, but the man she was talking to did, and talking about it made her realize that she had been so busy since she woke up that she hadn't had the time to think about it. And now it hit her, overwhelmed her, she sat up and started screaming, at him, at the walls, cursing every second of her life since the attack at the Normandy... When she could scream no more, she looked at him... he hadn't moved and he was looking right back at her, there was no scorn nor pity in his eyes... Thane had accepted that he was going to die, and there she was trying to accept that she had died. She felt so stupid...she left the room before Thane could say or do anything. So... any headcanons someone is willing to share?

Abnocte, that was beautiful! And you're right, Thane's not getting enough love. It's...a little embarrassing to say this, but I'm a sucker for the way a person moves. Soooo, that moment he dropped in on Nassana's guards, the grace and speed he demonstrated had me tongue tied (I would have LOVED to see Garrus in a sparring ring). There's something about a perfected maneuver that says everything about the confidence, discipline and skill that grabs my attention every time. But more than that, Thane's kindness and never failing politeness kept me wanting to talk to him more and more. As for headcanon, one of my Sheps had a deep attraction to him, would have considered stepping further beyond professional respect had she not faced so much loss in her past (she was a Colonist, Akuze background). It was a shame; The build up rapport between them was natural and completely within her character. So she held back, Thane seemed to notice and while nothing was declared, no promises made, she did always wonder why he called her siha and he never brought it back up again. :'(

As soon as he dropped down and gracefully took all of them out...rawr. Then he spoke, and that was that. Cara Shep was hooked.

And you are not alone, I've watched Thane's intro more times than I can be bothered to count. That scene is just plain perfect... but as perfect as it is, it was Thane personality and specially the way he speaks that got me hooked. I know its just me, but I love people that express themselves is such a manner that anything they say its like a poem... I have the same problem with Samara. When you recruit her she goes: "My name is Samara, a servant of the Justicar code. My quarrel is with these Eclipse sisters, but I see three well armed people before me. Are you friend or foe?" Yeah, I know... I'm weird Aww, that's sad and beautiful. I'm a sucker for these kind of stories... to the point that poor Neveen had lost someone she loved when she was still on Earth. Her story ended up being quite tragic...

Thank you Abnocte, and hey, we can be weird over in this corner as much as we like! Because that's the point of being a fan, right? Will you tell us more about what happened in your headcanon? Pretty please? Ermm, I don't have a full headcanon just some random bits and things like which is their favorite color... That said, and since I already mentioned she lost someone before joining the Alliance... I decided to write down their first meeting... but it is really silly, I mean, really... It went something like this... When she was with the Reds she used to go to this shady bar...one night some Alliance rookies appeared at the door. "Poor sods. They are so totally lost..." she thought as she grinned. The bar was the Reds favorite and the Reds didn't like Alliance. A brawl followed suit, Neveen just watched from the sidelines not really interested on what was going on. But the Alliance rookies where good, good enough to turn the tide... Neveen decided to join the fight, if word got out that any Red got beaten by Alliance...
She wasn't stronger, maybe a little faster but the reason she took out two of the rookies in a moment was because she fought dirty. When she faced a third one things didn't go so smoothly, it was as if he could read her mind.
"He is damn good or he knows all my tricks as if they were his own...if so, why is he playing fair?" - She looked at him, he seemed...amused. "Bastard! He is underestimating me!", she flung herself at him but before she could land her attack the police had made its appearance.
Everybody fled the bar.
A few days later she was back at the bar, by herself this time. Most of the clientele hadn't come back since the police showed up giving the place a desolate feeling. As she stared at her empty glass, someone sat next to her, "Nice fight the other day, eh?...too bad we got interrupted" - she stared at him in disbelief, the alliance rookie she couldn't defeat was right next to her, alone.
- That has an easy solution... - she said as she sat up. - Ah-ha! No! Wait! I'm not here to pick up a fight. - Then why are you here? - she asked angrily - I wanted to meet you. - Pfft, hahahahahahahahahahahaha... - ...yeah, laugh all you want... - ...hahahahahahahahahahahaha... - ...I'm not going anywhere... - Ha! - You hurt my feelings. I demand compensation. Your name? - She gave him a suspicious look - Neveen. - Just Neveen? - Just Neveen. - Nice to meet you, name's John. - Just John? - she said mockingly - Yes. Of course. Ermm...ok, no It is not. Shepard, the name's John Shepard.

This saddens me, but I found an excellent artist (not the one I posted from below) that has done art and in her words "emotional"/romance comics with the "heterosexual woman in mind" with nsfw content in it for femShep with Garrus, Wrex, Kaidan, and even Blasto (as a joke). But when asked if she would consider doing femShep/Thane she got so upset. And why? Because he was previously married. I don't understand? I've seen other people say that...I don't understand either. What did they expect? a 40-something year old virgin? How is that better/preferable?? *sigh*

Or maybe Thane's story sounds like he never got over her. To be honest, I'd feel more awkward about how Kolyat would feel.

Thane was the best most awkward situation to ever occur to me in a BioWare game. Normally it goes like:
me: "oh, strong and sexy male character! good job, BioWare!" BW:"What? We just... Sort of threw him in as an extra. For a female protagonist we have this outstanding --- Me: "not interested..." BW: "this very appealing human boy next door--- Me:"not interested...." BW: "with emotional problems..." Me:"not interested...." BW: "that will yell at you..." Me:" not interested..." BW:"but you can fix it all, and resolve his troubles for him and.... Me: "not interested" BW:"the make-up sex is hot!" Me: "thanks. unrequited love it is."
but in ME2, bio went:sure, you can romance the char you like.
So, I am pretty happy that in this one game I got to romance. I don't mind the tragic ending, I want to see everything related to it, and I am not planning for my Shepard to live Through the game's ending. So I am happy Bio added as much as it did. In fact, I am happy it's not that much, as it leaves out potential blunders, such as boring conversations about the future or marriage proposals and unexpected happy ending cure. What was there felt right.
My only regret that shepard could not tell Kaiden that, no, it was not "some assassin". His name is Thane, and that Shepard loves him. That would pretty much make the subplot perfect for me.
