Green Stickered

Title: Carpe Panem
Words: ~1100
Rating: G
Summary: Liara looks at Shepard like she's a beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure. Garrus doesn't even know what a cinnamon roll is.
Notes: Inspired by bisexualzuko's important OTP question and br0lan's second hand story of the most hardcore kid he's ever heard of.

( It occurs to Garrus midway through adjusting his new sniper scope that he probably looks a little crazy using a scope without a rifle to look across the Presidium Commons, but spying on your CO on shore leave is a completely legitimate use of weapon mods. )

Rating: PG (death)
Summary: It's like looking at herself when she'd first joined the Normandy, thinking the crew would resent her for filling a dead man's boots. Ashley excuses herself to the bar, and sets a drink in front of Lieutenant Victus once she gets back.
Notes: Ashley saved on Virmire and recruited after Citadel II; Tuchanka: Turian Platoon done after this. If you talk to her on the Normandy after Tuchanka: Turian Platoon, she asks how the Primarch's son is doing and talks about her own experiences with losing men. Title is from "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" by Dylan Thomas.

( Excuse me, Miss... )

Summary: Great, an unexpected live delivery and your AI's keeping secrets. (...) As you make your way out of Purgatory, you try again to get more details out of EDI, but the only thing she gives you is that it's marked for Liara.
Notes: Written with femshep in mind, but could be dudeshep I guess. Lair of the Shadow Broker completed. In between Palaven and Sur'Kesh.

Title: Little Black Dress

Rating: G
Summary: Shepard needs a little talking into dressing up for Liara.
Notes: I was totally surprised when Shep turned up alone and in Normandy casualwear on the Shadow Broker's Base at the end of the mission - and in my case, Normandy casualwear is the dress from "Stolen Memory".

( Maybe Tali was a bad choice to bring along to the Shadow Broker's ship. )
