Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 52: Flashes of white sparked across the insides of her eyelids. Distant sounds that could be voices echoed through her head as she tried to make sense of the sounds she heard. Some of them were further away and sounded like they echoed while others that seemed closer, sounded like hushed conversations. She couldn’t identify the voices but their tone worried her. She tried to turn her head, at least she thought she did, but… she couldn’t. Unable to move....she started to panic. What is going on? Why can't I open my eyes? Why can't I move? Voices... whose voices?! What is happening?! The panicked

Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 51: Garrus stared blankly at the ship's guns, unable to move, barely able to breathe. His only reason for breathing was to relive all of the memories made in that room with Shepard. He struggled endlessly with letting her go; allowing himself to properly grieve. The woman he loved, who had entangled herself into every fiber of his being...  was gone. She is gone... he kept repeating in his mind. It felt like half of his soul, half of everything he was, had been viciously ripped out of him. The pain was unbearable and no matter how many times he repeated the words in his mind, he couldn't accept it. He had even ref

Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 50: Shepard sighed heavily as every step she took felt harder to make. She trudged through the base; intent on saying her goodbyes to her beloved crew.  She walked around in a daze, looking at the destruction of the base area alone, until her eyes fell upon a familiar face. "Hey Commander," Vega solemnly said as Shepard approached him. "What? No Lola?" she teased with the biggest smile she could muster. "Huh?…Yeah, sorry," he replied as he looked down at the ground. "Are you okay?" "I don't know what I thought I'd feel coming back to Earth," Vega said, "I was ready to fight - ready to die if I had to. But se

Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 49: Shepard slowly opened her eyes as she stretched out her muscles; quickly realizing the lack of a warm body next to her. She could hear the faint sound of the shower and smiled as she got out of bed; heading to the bathroom. She felt steadier on her feet than she had the last couple of days. She felt better, achy but better; like she'd broken through a fever. Steam flooded out of the bathroom as she opened the door. The thickness of it let her know that the water temperature Garrus was using was entirely too hot for her and she decided to let him enjoy his scalding shower alone. She wondered if it was sort of

Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 47: Liara found herself awake in the early hours of the morning.  She was worried about Thessia, worried about the crucible, worried about war, worried about…everything. She walked through the quiet ship; passing only a couple of night shift people along the way. Looking down at the floor, she shuffled along to nowhere in particular when she bumped into something…someone. She looked up… "Javik," she said faintly. "Do you make it a habit to not watch where you are walking?" he asked. "Not usually, no," she chuckled.  She knew he meant no humor in his question but she found hi

Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 45: Garrus stared into her eyes…amazed at the beautiful woman in front of him.  He took her hand in his and led them over to the bed.  Along the way he noticed the freshly used syringe on the desk - she had already taken her serum. Garrus sat down in the center of the bed and guided Shepard to sit down in front of him; cross-legged and facing him. He took off his shirt and then scooted his body closer to her; intertwining his legs with hers. He wrapped one arm around her waist and placed his other hand over her heart.  She embraced him the same way in return. "Take deep breaths

Love, Blood & Tears Chapter 44: The Normandy docked to the Citadel as Shepard walked by the memorial wall.  The people they had lost…Ashley, Kelly, Jacob, Thane…she continued to scan over the rest of the names…one was missing.  Why wasn't it on the wall?  She took the elevator down a level to speak with the one put in charge of creating the name plaques.  She stepped off the elevator and found him getting ready for his day of leave on the Citadel. "Johnson!" she shouted. "I need to speak with you for a minute." He nodded as he jogged over to her, "Commander?" "The name plaque for Leg

Garrus was excited as he packed his bags.  He was going to spend a week with his father, Aetius, on the Citadel. Garrus had never been there before and he could hardly wait to see it.  It had been six months since he had seen his father; his last visit the week of Garrus' tenth birthday.  With his father's work at C-Sec, he wasn't able to make it home very often.  His mother, Tacita, suggested that father bring him to the Citadel during his week off from school and to Garrus' happy surprise, his dad accepted. "You all packed?" his mother chuckled as she leaned against the door frame of his bedroom. "T

It was another late night at the office for Garrus and Chellick; working on what seemed like a never ending case. "Why don't you head home," Chellick suggested. "I can wrap this up and the rest can wait until tomorrow." "That's okay, I've got this," Garrus replied. "Don't you have family arriving tomorrow? You should get some rest." "It's just my sister – she's on shore leave for a week." "Your sister…Solana, right?" "Don't even think about it." "What?" "You know exactly what." "Oh c'mon, who better to trust your sister with than your C-Sec partner, eh? Besides, what if she's the one that asks me out? Who am I to refuse her
