    Summary

    Shepard thought that controlling the reapers at the end of Mass Effect 3 offered the greatest chance at bringing a lasting and happy peace to the galaxy, even if it cost her her own being. But it would seem that her story didn't end with firing the Crucible. This story is based on my other work 'Transitions', but is in a separate continuity.

    Summary

    Maddie hands one cup and saucer to Caitlyn and takes the other to lean against the spiral staircase. She watches Caitlyn sip her tea, grimacing through the initial burn. She never let it cool down, always scalding her mouth but never complaining. There’s something to it, Maddie thinks. To her draw to pain, to the impatience that puts her there.

    Maddie smiles behind her cup as Caitlyn hisses through her second sip. There’s something to it.

    --

    caitlyn's rebound, as seen through the eyes of someone who hates her desperately: one maddie nolen.

    Summary

    Vi can’t sleep. Can’t let her mind wander off to that hazy realm of vulnerability; her muscles loosened; her demons let loose from their crates. Can’t lie in bed with the cold curl of absence against her chest, where a soft head of hair used to be cradled.

    Can’t let down her guard. Not when the flame of adrenaline and the push-pull of survival is the only thing keeping her upright. Not when tears coil behind her eyelids with unsettling warmth, waiting to distort her voice into sobs.

    She would give anything to feel the firm pressure of Vander’s arms around her own. To rest her chin across his chest, hear the soft gravel of his voice wrapping her in comfort, the smell of pipe smoke and leather, varnish and whiskey.

    What would he say to her, now?

    Or

    Vi loses everything in one night, her whole life incinerated in blue smoke. Now, stuck in a concrete cell with nothing but her own monstrous thoughts for company, she’s forced to contend with a world in which her home, family, and purpose in life have all been ripped away by a monster with an amber eye. This is a multi-chapter character study, centering on the trauma Vi endures while in Stillwater.
