And again your writing has enthralled and impressed me, incredibly touching and well written - thanks for putting this up!  I thoroughly enjoyed it - its nice to smile for Shep and Liara (and the always welcomed addition of offspring) in the wake of ME3's ending.  Feels good to read stuff like this again without anger oozing in and tainting my vision of the story.

Again: Well done

Wow really good! I like that one even more than the first! Please more 

Of course, I'm not done yet. 

IF I can manage it I might just be able to get another one done today. But I have quite a bit left to do in ME1 before the next one so it depends how fast I can finish stuff.

D'aww, that was sweet. I love the way your Shep "biotics" her way through everything[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png[/smilie]

I
have one question though: what did the admiral say applied to
everyone?? That's going to bother me all night, I hope you know that. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/angry.png[/smilie][smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/pouty.png[/smilie][smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/tongue.png[/smilie]

My Shep is Paragon, but by the goddess she makes sure she gets what she wants.

As for your question...you'd have to ask Shepard, its her anecdote.

Usually
not a fan of fanfics that add to an existing storyline, but I have to
say this fits in quite seamlessly. Also think the dialogue was
appropriate for all characters. Great overall, only thing I have an
issue with is the dress I think, just seems a bit out of place, but
that's just my opinion. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/sideways.png[/smilie]

Thanks. I'm not usually a fan of fitting stuff in either generally because it often doesn't actually gel with the rest of the storyline. I'm being exceptionally careful to make sure it integrates properly, its making the writing about twice as difficult as it would normally be but I think the output is worth it.

I've started to add other major character stuff in as well because just sticking to two and avoiding others just isn't feasible. Getting just the right tone for each character consistently is going to be hard to do though.

I guess I can see where you're coming from with the dress thing but it was a connection that I felt I had to make on some level. To explain: during that second conversation Liara talks about how humans seem rushed and high strung and about how humans are creatures of action. I wanted to add at least a nod to that aspect of Shepard somewhere in this but to also show Shepard holding herself back out of respect to Liara.

My initial idea was to have Shep leave a datapad in Liara's room with an open invitation of some description on it (probably dinner). That would have acted both to show Shepard's human nature and also to act as the extra incentive that pushed Liara into accepting her feelings. It sounded great in my head at first but as I worked at it I realised it was awful and WAAAAY too pushy for what I wanted. It felt like Shepard pushing Liara into it despite promising to give her time, a sort of non-verbal "so have you decided yet?" and it just didn't work at all and it just felt so wrong and terrible.

I ended up scrapping that idea entirely and headed off in a completely different direction with the Tali scene which I think works a lot better for the catalyst for the relationship. Tali's innocent comments highlighting to Liara the true nature of Shepard, and consequently why Liara loves her, as well as inadvertantly giving the encouragement that she needed to accept those emotions. However I still wanted at least some nod to the whole "humans rushing along" thing; especially in light of the title I'd chosen. It had to be subtle so that Shepard wasn't forcing Liara into anything but it also had to be clearly a pre-emptive gesture to highlight how restrained Shepard is being in general. Hence I settled on her buying Liara a gift in anticipation of Liara accepting a dinner invitation.

I liked it...especially the convo with Tali.

Thanks. It wasn't even in there at first (like I just said) but I think it really makes quite an impact now that its written.

I'm sorry I can't provide you with any constructive criticism.
I only have to say that it was great, and selfishly ask for more chapters to this story. I enjoyed reading both of them. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie]

Its ok, unqualified praise works too.

More will be done when they're done. As soon as possible.

What I hate about the ME3 romance with Liara is it doesn't recognize your rekindling of the romance in LotSB. That's a huge bug to me but considered minor by devs and many others.

Loved those linked fics and the Liara/baby image.

It sucks, but myself I am more irked by she calling me a friend during the Citadel "proposal" scene and that was done on purpose

Same here... :'( The way you describe things is done beautifully, really enjoyed reading this one too!

'Ear' sounds a lot better than 'sound canal' or 'auditory input tube'.  Plus you got the point anyway!  

If you did that, I bet you'd get a ton of PMs from readers asking what the hell that was and where it was at XD

I always use the word 'ear'....the broadest definition of the word is 'organ that detects sound'.

I seem to recall reading about a texture mod that gave Liara her LotSB face in ME1. I'm guessing I probably read it here. Anyone know what I'm talking about and if so could you link it?

Thats probably my texmod. Lemme see if it's public. aaaaand, nope, it's not included in my ME2 project due to the file limitations on the BSN.


Heres a link to it though.... http://dl.dropbox.co...ME1_SBLiara.tpf

Thanks! Although I have no idea how to use it...

I'm glad you enjoyed it.  And yeah, there was bound to be a few typos here and there.  That's what I get for not having someone else properly beta it before posting!

Well,
"The word "ear" may be used correctly to describe the entire organ or just the visible portion. In most mammals, the visible ear is a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna and is the first of many steps in hearing."

So "ear" is just fine. Asari just don't have a "pinna" on their ear to focus to the sound source.
Hmm..

Ahhh rushed deadlines and the weird ass catering to new players (but not to long time fans desiring a new or explantion of the ending, those guys are just whiny sobs insulting artistic something or other). 
Those didn't take away from the game at all!  Of course it really didn't add anything either and made most character interaction scenes a little weird (some touching, other awesome eg Liara two final romance scenes, most weird).  Doh there I go getting cynical again.

 Shepard's reaction to the synthesis ending. :D:D

[DOsquareZER]

^ ahahaha and then continues to try and shove a glass into his eye.

[Quietness]

Don't know if other liara fans have seen this:



Its Sam Hulick Playing "I Was Lost Without You" on his channel. And he throws in Sheploo/Liara scene at the end " Liara fan Sam? - sgirondogs // Yep!  - MDesigner "

[Owlowiscious]

Kez Shepard and Liara are enjoying the time they have before they kick Hell's Guard Dog in the nuts.



And then they are going to dream of little blue babies.

btw. Again. I've played the Grissom Academy mission multiple times with Liara, but Jack always references my other squadmate, not her. I know Jack calls Liara "Blue" and Liara mentions knowing Jack's real first name, but I dunno how to trigger it.

Do you have Javik on your team?? I went to the academy with Javik and Liara, and the conversation about Jack´s name was triggered.

[lazuli]

Just popping in to say I didn't care for Liara in ME1, thought she was nuts in ME2, began to appreciate her in LotSB, and finally in ME3 I enjoy her as a character. And, as long as no new squadmates are added that have Warp, she'll have a more or less permanent place on my squad.

So that's a bit of a backhanded way of showing my support for the character, but there you have it.

yush make little blue babies!
