Bah, where's my endorsement? 

Admittedly, only 2 of mine are post-ME3, but still *puppydogeyes*

I haven't read yours, but aren't yours bleak depressing stories about Liara and/or Shep dying and dealing with it, or otherwise are fics dealing with the starchild etc. ending?

I tend to just skip over those kinds of fics - it's not that they can't be well written, but it's just not my style.

Correct me if I have you confused with someone else though.

Massively confused with someone else. Black hole forming levels of massive.

Well, go ahead then! Summarize what yours are about then, not only will you correct me, but you'll be summarizing it as an intro for that dude looking for fanfics to read.

I don't think it is his you are thinking about.
 His is usually about Liara and Shepard... and Shepard's Claymore, and that is completly literally for those of you who tend to get funny thoughts 

Joking aside he has written a series about Liara secretly watching Shepard taking down the collectors as well as some with Hannah Shepard is in, the latest of which was Shepard & Liara's daughter being born.

As well as an expanding on what happened doing the Cabin scene post-LotSB, I particularly liked First Secrets.

As Akernis said, all centre on my FemShep Vanguard Kira, many screenshots in the femshep thread. First Secret resolves a personal issue arising from the Kaidan/Liara confrontation triggering right after Noveria.

Impressions is about Liara/Kira and Kira's impact on young, impressionable Grunt.

Close Enough To Touch is about Liara arranging to keep an eye on the suicide mission with cooperation from EDI, Tali and Legion.

Rings and Banishments are post-ME3, assuming happy resolution to breath in the ruins ending and both Banishments and Interludes feature Admiral Hannah pretty heavily.

Strong Right Arm is how the Claymore goes from the SR2 to Utukku in between ME2 and ME3.

You asked for it... this is so embarrassingly bad... What's in a Name?

Synopsis from FFN: Shepard is stressed dealing with the aftermath of the Reaper War. Added to that, she now has to think of a name for her unborn child. Liara tries to cheer her up by enlisting the help of their friends. Silly, light-hearted fluff.

*whipes a tear of laughter from eye* 
Thanks for this, it was nice  

Lol, glad you liked it, Akernis. It made me laugh while writing it

[CrazyGreggy]

I laughed, especially Jack's. She's just not subtle. Ever.

Hmmm, you possibly have him confused with me. I've written two about the time between ME1 and ME2, when BW made Shepard dying cannon (something I really hated). They're sad stories, which deal with Shep/Liara's love and feelings for each other. Nothing visual and certainly nothing in the "traumatising" territory. I'd be hesitant to call them bleak or depressing, mainly because I tried to end both of them on uplifting, hopeful notes (I don't know whether that came through, though, you'll have to ask Theo or Akernis).

Anyway, I completely understand where you're coming from on the "not your[sic] style" thing... just thought I'd clarify that the stories might not be what you thought they were (or, at least I hope they're not, seeing as I really, really don't like bleak. Ever.)

Heh, thank you. Jack's (and probably Javik's / Joker's) entertained me the most while writing

Your stories are definitely on my list to check out - hopefully when I get away on annual leave in a week I'll have time to go through all of them

Sad and poignant sure but not bleak, with a little light of hope in them at the end, I certainly did not feel depressed afterwards, just touched by the emotion

[CrimsonN7]

I had a feeling this would happen to us PS3 owners in Europe, we're getting shafted, I gotta wait another week after everyone else to get the EC experience, son of a b*tch! I'll have to stay off the BSN for a week because of this as it's gonna be an unadvoidable hot topic naturally.<_<

Well I guess this will give me a chance to catch up on all the fanfics I have put on the back-burner. Oh Jen your lil baby naming fic has me intrigued, I love a little fluff now and again. I'm gonna check it out, Rae wrote a little piece about Liara and Shep's kid too and she had the child sharing a double-barrelled name, I'd go with that myself when I think of my Femshep/Liara's offspring. Also to the poster who wanted to know of any good post ME3 fanfic where Shep lives, Rae wrote another great piece

http://www.fanfictio...03806/1/Rebirth

I most warn you though it's not completed but it's still a great read so far, just eagerly waiting myself for Rae to add more to it, come on girl. Like Aristo I love Rae's work, so I'll always encourage Liara fans to check out her pieces.

Anyone got any good fanfic where Shepard doesn't die at the end of ME3 and is with Liara? I want something to read, as I'll be ignoring the EC. I wish it the best, just from what I've heard.....Yeah no thanks.

Check the list in the first link in my signature, and scroll down to the second post for Liara. Each entry has a description, so you should be able to pick out the correct ones…

(It’s in the list but here’s a direct link to my “Unity”. Just passed the 75k mark!)

How much divergence are you looking for? Borrowing from my intro,

“The story starts in the middle of the ME3 finale. Like a good Infiltrator I use as much of the provided cover as I can, sneaking in and fixing the endings with the fewest changes possible. The game's confines are escaped in Chapter 3.”

The happy part I’ve got covered.

I’d be interested in hearing where it lands in your reckoning — although if you’re allergic to absolutely anything that reminds you of the game, it might not work.

It's mostly just that I hate the original ending, and I'm also not a big fan of any sort of "sacrificial" ending where Shepard/Liara has to die to save the galaxy or something. The ending is already bittersweet even if they survive because all of the homeworlds are in shambles and everything...

So basically any story that still keeps the canon of the game as far as the star child, Shepard dies, mass relays destroyed, etc. ending goes, that's not something I'm interested in.

It's one reason I'm such a huge fan of Theo's fics - his stories proceed as if none of that happened. I just find the source material of the original ending too poisonous - you can be a great writer but is absolutely almost impossible to write anything good using that as a foundation. So, the more of the original ending you take as canon, the more your story suffers for it.

And I'm just not a fan of overly depressing, bleak stories. Things that try to be grimdark basically - darkness has its' place, and I don't think it should be shied away from, but things that are TRYING to be so dark, and not that it just happens naturally.

And Shepard/Liara dying is just something I find distasteful and not necessary so I don't like reading stories about that.

Do you consider any story where it ends on a negative note grimdark or bad?

Not any story, if you mean even outside ME terms. Hell, I could even see ME stories that aren't about Shepard ending on a negative note not being grimdark or bad.

It's about the presentation, and the themes of the story before it though. Some stories a dark ending fits, some it doesn't. I don't think a dark ending is fitting for ME....at least, well, it's not fitting for a 100% completionist paragon Shepard. It's fitting for a more Renegade Shepard, but then I don't like reading stories about Renegade Shepard because I just don't like that guy and can not visualize him as a hero - which all Ren. Shepard stories try to do. On that note I could be interested in a Ren. Shepard story that actually treated him like the horrible person he is and went into how bad of a situation he placed his crew in and all, and just went into the kinds of effects his actions would have.

But that's a tangent - to get back on topic, I can enjoy a story with a dark ending. Blade Runner has a somewhat dark ending and I really like that - because I find it fits the tone of the setting, it's not a huge shift right at the end.

[Han Shot First]

What if there is no reuinification for Shepard and his LI in the EC? Seeing as Bioware is sticking to their vision for the ending (and merely clarifying it with the EC), they could potentially stick with the LI and crew stranded and starting anew in Space Eden, and just expand on their lives there.

If they went that route I'll think I'll aim for Destroy - Shepard dead instead. I find that less depressing than both Shepard and Liara surviving but seperated for all time because of the destruction of the relay system.

Then the EC is garbage and I write it off, and sink deeper into fanfic territory. And be really cautious with any of Bioware's products in the future.

Yeah from what I've been hearing on twitter, all I'll say is don't get your hopes up. If they do you'll have to murder EDI and the Geth to get it (this was confirmed by Jessica Merizen https://twitter.com/...600049491251200)

So yeah.....Enjoy that fun stuff.
''DOES THIS UNIT HAVE A SOAL?''....I guess that was all pointless
''Only now do I feel truly alive'' ........Well not for long.


I'm going to watch it all emotionally detatached. I prefer my less stupid/badly written/needlessly depressing head cannon ending

I enjoyed that tale ... even if it is about a weapon that my Shepards never use.
