Chapter 5 - Eternity ----------------------------------------------------------------- "You can't do this!  No!" "You have to go, Liara." ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shepard lay back against the wall, watching the wreckage of the Crucible tumble by.  She'd had strength enough to activate it, but that was it.  She didn't even have the energy left to crawl back over to where Anderson died.  Her whole body was a blaze of pain.  Blood trickled down her side, and her left arm refused to move. But she'd managed to activate the device, despite the Illusive Man's efforts to stop her.  It had worked, just as

Chapter 04 - Duty ----------------------------------------------------------------- "I found this in the wreckage." "My dog tags?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shepard adjusted the dress, resisting the urge to return to her cabin and check it yet again.  Normally she didn't wear things like this, but she wanted to be perfect for Liara, so she'd dragged out the dress Kasumi found for her, and put it on for this visit.  They'd just returned to the Shadow Broker's ship after picking up some supplies.  Liara had promised they'd talk, really talk, about the future once they got back, and she was looking fo

A/N: This story is separate from my What Was Lost series.  If anything, this one technically came first, but I never got around to polishing and posting it.  I decided to change that.  So here it is, a short little FemShepXLiara piece.  Hope you all enjoy it! Chapter 01 - Fracture ------------------------------------------------- "Damn it, Liara, I came to talk to you, not help with your petty vendettas!" ------------------------------------------------- Shepard crouched behind the rubble left from the wall a stray shot had shattered.  The last few thugs the Shadow Broker sent to assist the rogue Spectre Tela Vasir were holed up in a sma
