F-Shep/Liara
Her final defiant shout was lost as her world blossomed in beautiful, terrifying, all-consuming light and heat. She heard her flesh sizzling and searing and smelled the acrid stench of it even as she inhaled those hungry flames and felt the terrible intensity of the living fire within her breast. The agony crushed her physically and lit every nerve in hyper-sensitive torment as she felt herself picked up and thrown like so much trash across an endless expanse of forever.
It was her end. Again. Her last moments. Again.
A part of her absently recalled those thoug
Prologue
In 2157 the first human recorded contact with other life in the galaxy was during the Mass Relay 314 incident. The humans had attempted to reactivate the forbidden 314 relay, which had been sealed centuries before by the council in a attempt to prevent the rachni from returning. The turians had attacked the humans in order to stop them, which resulted in the First Contact War.
What neither race knew was that this was not the first time that the council had attempted to make contact with the people of Earth 145 years before. The asari councilor had led a small group of respresentatives to Earth to make contact with the people of t

CHAPTER 2 THE NIGHT OF VICTORY (GarrusxFemShep)
That night had been incredible, the Earth on fire under the deadly beams of Reapers had suddenly turned into a theater of cheerful shouts and tears of joy, kisses and hugs.
The machines had suddenly collapsed thunderously to the ground like inanimate puppets, smashing buildings and crushing other victims, but abruptly ending a nightmare from which it seemed impossible to wake up.
Garrus and Liara had followed Shepard, running with her at breakneck speed and watching her back, up to the moment she was hit by the beam.
After the impact Garrus had run towards that point, sure to see bef

Mass Effect: The Waiting Area
One moment, there was darkness and pain and nothing else.
Commander Shepard managed to take a breath...and she quickly exhaled "Oh!" as she shot up into a sitting position in her bed on the Normandy, in her short-sleeved Alliance uniform. Disoriented, confused, she reflexively placed a hand to her forehead. "M-my quarters...?"
"Hello, Shepard."
Just like that, her eyes snapped open and alert as she looked halfway across the room to the lounge area...and saw a man sitting there on the large comforter. He was just beyond middle age, with white hair and beard, dressed simply yet elegantly in an ivory suit. He looked at her with a bored expres

It was dark, pitch black, she couldn't even see her hand in front of her face, 'where am I?' she thought. Then as suddenly as the thought left her mind a white light appeared in the distance, with no place else to go she ran towards it while it became bigger and bigger until it engulfed her and then she saw... "Kaidan?!"
"It's the right choice and you know it Ash" he said, it was Virmire, Kaidan was holding back the geth defending the bomb that was supposed to blow up the whole facility "it was an hono

Avert your eyes.
Now, goddammit.
Avert your eyes.
Look away now; before he catches you staring!
"Commander?"
You're such an idiot Markus. Such an... damn it.
"I, uh..." Want you. I want you to press me up against the wall, kiss me violently, confess to me that you've always known how I felt, that you've always felt the same way, confess that you've always wanted me the way I want you, as much as I want you. I want to marry you, settle down somewhere and adopt a bunch of kids and love happily ever after. I want- "Could you go up to the bridge and ask Joker how we're doing? I'll get up there in a minute."

Nowhere to Go But Forward - Admiration
Liara sat in the comm room unable to keep her curious eyes from wandering, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings all the while fidgeting in her seat. She was far more used to being enclosed by thousand year old structures, and to suddenly find herself thrust into a world that now had her flanked by both a krogan and a turian, with a quarian not too far off? Well, it was not where she would have expected to find herself when she left for Therum. Of course, being trapped in a Prothean defense mechanism wasn't on that list either.
The Normandy was a fascinating vessel. The fact that such a varying crew of species could co-exist without incident
