Siha-The Promise
'When a memory feels as real as life, it's as valid as life. Thinking about a moment brings back the smell of cut grass, the warmth of another's hand on yours, the taste of another's tongue in your mouth. Wouldn't you rather lose yourself in such a memory then spend the night alone, staring at walls of metal and plastic?' Thane walked to the combat deck of the Normandy, calm and collected. He spotted Raven Shephard talking to Joker in the cockpit and paused to watch the raven-haired woman speak naturally with her friend. Best not to interrupt them while they were talking, let alone when anyone was talking. It was just bad manners. Raven pauLiteratureEsteban: Mister Vega 3: I Found Love
A week of silence between James and Steve was all it took for Steve to attempt to make huevos rancheros with verde salsa, just like James had shown him in the kitchen the week prior, as a peace treaty. He put it on a tray and slid it across the Hispanic man's bench, crossing his arms with a smile. It was enough to make James look up and smile back, shaking his head. "Chico. You're such a...chico." James picked the fork up and took a big bite out of the food, shutting his eyes in appreciation, reaching for another bite quickly. "I'm sure that means a term of admiration in Spanish, am I right, Mister Vega?" Steve watched him eat the entire plLiteratureEsteban: Mister Vega 2: You're Not Robert
Kaidan walked into the Cargo Bay, datapad in hand, pausing when he stood beside Steve. He looked up and smiled lightly at Steve, asking a question about the thrusters on the shuttle. "Are they at maximum capacity? We need to be sure, Steven. John asked me to ask you about it since he's busy, you know, in the War Room with Admiral Hackett. How you doing?" Steve straightened his posture and looked over Kaidan's shoulder at James across the bay, staring at the back of his head for a moment out of habit. Apparently the stare was long enough to make Kaidan turn his body and look at James' backside as well. "I sometimes look too, Steve. Don't worrLiteratureSiha: A Bit Brighter
'The universe is a dark place. I’m trying to make it brighter before I die.' Over the course of only a few short days, Thane and Raven had begun to talk quite a bit more as time passed. Raven took it upon herself to ask Mordin about Drell anatomy and even stocked up on ointments and medicine for future contact with the Drell male. Just touching his hand alone made her hand tingle. Was Thane secreting poison on his skin for protection? Either way, Raven couldn't stay away from the man longer than a few hours each day. She'd always find reason to return to him and talk about new things she had on her mind like the shops of Illium, OmegaLiteratureBiotic: Don't Die
"The Alliance could sure use you. I could use you. Fight, Major. That's an order." John turned on his heel and left the hospital room, thinking about meeting up with Liara for a drink after the recent events on Mars. There wasn't really anything anyone could have done to prevent Kaidan getting so badly hurt, but John blamed himself partially. Why had they pursued Dr. Eva? John walked back onto the Normandy and was greeted by Liara, as if she could read his mind. "Kaidan will be fine, won't he," were her first words to her Commander. Of course he would! He was the best damn marine John knew and he knew that Kaidan would fight. "Don't worry,LiteratureSiha: Just The Right Amount
' Laser dot trembles on the skull. Spice on the spring wind. Sunset eyes defiant in the scope. A bystander noticed my spotting laser and threw herself between me and the target. She couldn’t see me… but she stared me down.' Thane had spent a lot of time thinking about the promise Raven had made him to take care of his son, Kolyat, long after he was gone. Was his son to be a member of her crew until he, too, died? If he was only so lucky. His thoughts were interrupted when Raven entered the Life Support room. His hands folded together on the table when Raven sat down across from him, her long hair down for once and she was in relLiteratureEsteban: Mister Vega 1: Never Seen That Color Blue
"Hey Esteban, remember when we met? Fehl-Prime? Damn, never seen that color of blue before," James turned his body half-ways to look at Steve across the cargo bay, his voice echoing off of the walls. Steve looked up from his screen, eyes meeting James' and giving the younger Lieutenant a small smile. "I reckon so, Mister Vega. You flirting with me?" Now he was just curious, since he knew for a fact that James was very straight...or so he claimed. "Me? Naw. Where I'm from, brown, black, and dark green are the closest you get to blue eyes. I was just admiring." James turned back around and looked down at his gun, re-attaching the barrel to th - Literature
Coming or Going CH3 (Mass Effect 3 Fanfic)
There was no transition from the Earth to the Heaven. When she woke, she was simply...there. Heaven looked familiar. There was no golden throne to house the Lord. Jesus was not present as far as she could tell. There were no fluffy clouds or singing angels, no Valkyries flying about, carrying in new additions. Cherubs did not play harps. There were no columns of white marble stretching into the air above. There was no gate as foretold in the good book. Heaven was strange, and Madelyn's first thought was that she could not be accepted until she passed a trial. Her vision was not fully restored. She observed the room nevertheless. She went toLiteraturePrisoner - CH3 (Mass Effect Fanfic)
Chapter 3. She awoke in a different place. She knew that she was in a med bay. The Turian was not there. She panicked at first. But then, among two other blurs, which she realized were people, was the one with the blue eyes. The woman. She leaned up against something metal and tall. Her arms were folded across her torso. She was not particularly tall, nor was she stern, yet she carried unwavering confidence with her. The tired woman liked this other woman. Then, that woman spoke. At first, the words were garbled and mangled as they were in the engine place...the other ship. But for the first time in a long time, the woman understood the laLiteraturePrisoner - CH2 (Mass Effect Fanfic)
Chapter 2. There were only blurs at first. Then, it realized that there were colors in the world. The blurs were the most godly things it had seen since confinement. It felt an immediate praise toward these blurs of rainbow hues. Then it remembered worship and religion. But the beauty it saw was replaced by paralyzing fear as the colors, the blue and yellows, were all replaced by crimson. It felt wet, sticky. It didn't like it. It stared at the crimson that was on its body. It hated it. But why? It did not know. No consensus was reached at first. More crimson splashed onto it and it remained frightened. Still it did not move. It did not rem
