I’m imagining an AU where Alec survived Habitat 7 and remained the Pathfinder. If Alec survived chances are he’d end up with the same exact Tempest crew + the Ryder twin. Like, imagine Alec being the one to have to babysit them and the resident grandpa and the chaos that would ensue.
Example scenarios under the cut
Alec: “Why is everyone still awake? Lights out was three hours ago?!”
Cora: “I tried to tell them we need to go to bed but Liam found a twenty season long anime and they’re marathoning it.”
Liam: *visibly tired* “Just one more episode Alec!”
Alec: “… Regs say you’re supposed to refer to me by my formal name…”
Liam: “Sure thing, Alec!”
-
Alec: “Liam… Ja’al… Where are your clothes?”
Ja’al: “Liam and I are just teaching each other about our people and cultures.”
Alec: “Okay but why do you have to take your clothes off for that?”
Liam and Ja’al: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Alec: “Ryder, get out of the Nomad!”
Ryder: “You’re not my dad.”
Alec: “Get out of the fucking Nomad, I am your dad!”
Ryder: “You’re not my dad!”
Alec: “I am your dad, get out of the fucking Nomad!”
-
Alec: “Excuse me, I don’t remember giving anyone clearance to-“
Drack: “Ah, let the kids be, Alec! I told em they could, they’re fine!”
Alec: “Why must you always undermine my authority…”
-
Alec: “Vetra, where the hell did you get 30 boxes of Blast-ohs cereal?”
Vetra: “… Extranet.”
-
Alec: “At least you listen to me and do your job like you’re supposed to.”
Cora: “Will you adopt me?”
Alec: “… I’m going to bed.”
-
Suvi: “Pathfinder Ryder, I licked a rock again. 🧍♀️”
Alec: “I just want to know peace in this life…”
-
Alec: “Peebee, if you don’t keep your pet remnant in your room I’m airlocking it!”
Peebee: “Poc just wants to explore!”
Alec: “Poc will explore the vacuum of space if you don’t put him where he belongs!”
Peebee: “Ugh, fine!”
-
Alec: “Kallo, apologize to Gil for snapping at him.”
Kallo: “but he-“
Alec: *Dad stare™*
Kallo: *grumbling* “I’m sorry…”
Alec: “Like you mean it.”
Kallo: “Fine. I’m sorry for snapping at you, Gil.”
Alec: “Good. Now Gil, apologize to Kallo for not respecting his ship.”
Gil: “But I was just-“
Alec: “One… two…”
Gil: “Alright, alright! I’m sorry for not respecting the Tempest.”
Alec: “Now you two better find a way to compromise or so help me.”
-
Alec: “I didn’t think Pathfinder meant babysitter.”
Lexi: “I didn’t think Doctor meant babysitter either. And yet, here we are.”

What's this? A wild Lena!? Yep - I'm trying to be more active! I've been writing again and have finished my newest fic - a Sara Ryder x Reyes Vidal fic called 'Haunted'.
Enjoy this little snippet while i finish editing it!
Sara pondered the idea, swirling the liquid in her glass as she thought how clever he'd been to mention the innocent people who would get hurt. Reyes couldn't help himself, he was a born manipulator.
"What's in it for me, Reyes? Things hardly turned out well the last time we worked together. "
He grinned suddenly and leaned back, a twinkle in his eye. "That's a matter of opinion. I may not have ended up with everything I wanted," and his gaze swept over her meaningfully, "but it was hardly a bad outcome for the people of Kadara. As for what's in it for you, well, aside from saving Kadara," Reyes grin widened the tiniest bit more, "Maybe the satisfaction of knowing you've got the most charming man in the galaxy on your side?"
Sara snorted softly, shaking her head at him. "Try again."
He sighed dramatically and put a hand over his heart as though injured. "Can't blame a man for trying. Fine, picture this – you and me, securing Kadara from those who mean it harm, and, " he nodded towards the port, "free fuel and restock for your ship whenever you need it. Upgrades and materials if needed too." There was a pause and then he added, "Within reason."
Reyes did not like parting with credits or giving anything away for free, which meant he was desperate.

Mass Effect Fun Fact: Female!Ryder is a rock climber! When telling Jaal about her favorite place during his romance, she tells him about a mountain on Earth. If playing as Male!Ryder, when you talk to Female!Ryder after she wakes up from the coma, Male!Ryder tells her there will be plenty of mountains for her to climb when she gets better.
Additionally, Alec Ryder is also a rock climber. In the locker room during the prologue mission, you can view the “lucky rock” that saved Alec from a fall while rock climbing.
