Yeah, but everything you said in describing Jack could still mean that the symmetry is symbolic. She does like to express herself.

I actually didn't notice that Premier... interesting, that would be a nice touch if it was meant to be symbolic.

can symbols be impulsive though? some of jack's tatoos are symbolic she even tells shep that in me2, but since she's made no mention of her piercings meaning anything I don't know if I couldn't just write it off as just an impulse for the sake of change

So I beat the game with my Canon Shepard who romanced Jack. I am a bit disappointed and pleased with the treatment of her.
Spoilers-
Seeing her mature and almost mother like with the kids was great. Shows how well her character has developed. I liked her little slip ups from time to time when she almost cursed. I enjoy her new look as well. Shows she is still true to herself, in the fact she doesn't wear a uniform like the other instructors.
I also enjoyed seeing that she can still kick ass.
I chose to keep our romance alive and besides a visit in the bar where we made out and then danced poorly and then a vidcom chat there was nothing. I am disappointed she didn't come visit the Normandy or something. Its like Bioware was expecting you to let her get on with her life so you could mess around with Liara, Ashley or Tali.
I would have atleast liked to have fought along side Jack and her team in the end.
Anyway as soonas I can promote my Adept, I am maining the female Human one and naming her Jack. Done deal.

Then the impulse to have a doodad on each ear is symbolic.
I'm not being serious, by the way, I was just pointing it out that she's wearing two ear doodads now.

This right here. I thought I was the only one who noticed it. It was like everytime you talked to her she would say "dump me." seriously.

that put a smile on my face.

this stuff is going to be bothering me for months I'm sure.
Same. Once I met Jack in ME2 I replayed ME1 and imported that save just so I could romance her w/o cheating on anyone.
Loved those few feisty moments you have with her, but the second I heard the chirp I got the paramour acheivement after "dancing" with her my heart sank. Hope rekindled when when we talked for the last time on the QEC thinking, "Maybe I WILL get to 'peel her out of that Alliance uniform' after all?" "Maybe we have a future, how brave and wonderful that may be. If only it ended there... Not having an ending is worse than those endings.
Also, would have been nice to see that N7 tat... Just saying.

I'm going to try to let this unfortunate thing go, and headcanon the ending and my shep and jack relationship. Who knows I may even start a new fanfic.

There were a lot of great people writing a lot of great Jack fic for ME2. Jackolytes have a lot less material this time, though. I wonder if they'll be writing out of content-starvation, rather than pure creativity.

I don't have the links anymore. I'd like to re-read a lot of it. Does anyone have any links to the ME2 Jackolyte fic stuff? Sundown Native's fic is in his sig. Mondo wrote incredible stuff.

I normally dont like doing fanfiction but I'm so desperate for Jack/Shepard interaction right now I might need to blow the dust off my creative writing juices.

I feel the same way. I don't think I got enough closure (if any) to feel at ease with what happened. There are still so many unanswered questions, so much untold about the future and so many variables that needs to be cleared. I can't be at peace with the ending until I know for certain what's next.GothamLord wrote...

Been awhile since I've done a lot of posting on the boards here. Not sure if the policy or standards are for stuff like anymore. Okay to directly post here on the thread or link it back to separate area or blog area of profile?? If posting here directly is frowned upon now I'll edit otherwise I'm starting to crank something out. Curious to get feedback since its been awhile since I've really done direct fiction. Most my writing as of late has been limited to play-by-post RPGs.
Mass Effect 3 - Aftermath
Shepard!!
The word echoed somewhere amidst the mixture of throbbing pain that coursed through what felt like every inch of his body. His head was swimming through a mixture of swirling memories and blurred crimson vision. Shepard could feel the blood running down his face, the taste of metal from the red liquid pooling down to his mouth. His lungs strained to breathe against the heavy N7 chest plate and the rubble that had him half buried. Something flew by overhead, but it was impossible to make out what the shadow was. A rush of air washed over him and his blurred vision was replaced by a bright light that caused him to flinch in response.
He’s down there. Shepard!!
He heard his name ring out again, though every sound around him was still exploding like a bomb denoting in every direction. The familiar voice however cut through the resounding chaos like an arrow straight to his ears. Jack? But that…wasn’t possible was it?. The explosions, the mass relays, the Citadel.
One of you get that end of the beam over there, I’ve got this side.
There was the noise of boot steps around him before Shepard could feel a sudden relief of weight from one of his legs. Pain quickly replaced the broken appendage as some sort of feeling returned. If he had the sense of mind to talk right now he almost considered asking them to drop the beam back down.
God, damn it. Don’t you dare die on me you ****ing boy scout. Where the hell is the medic?! Get him out here.
Shepard gasped for air again as his lungs strained from the broken ribs. It felt like one of them might have been pierced internally. He’d died once already, doing this a second time wasn’t any better. Another piece of debris was removed and he could hear more voices amid Jack’s. Vision however was nearly non-existent outside of bright lights. Things had stopped swirling enough for him to comprehend the source of the illumination coming from a nearby shuttle. Then he was lifted up onto a stretcher. He felt his right arm slump lifeless off to the side, the muscles refusing to respond to his mental commands. As they started to move someone caught it and placed it back by his side.
So much pain. There was an unconformable shift as the stretcher was slide into the waiting shuttle. The soft feeling of lips on his forehead, followed by a wet droplet of a tear falling down against his cheek from above. Jack’s voice was almost trembling from moments earlier when it was so fierce barking orders to the others that had been with her.
Comon’ Shepard stay with me. You aren’t allow to die on me… not now…bastard.

Yeah, I do too.
Whenever I go to the Engereering, where Jack used to stay on the Normandy, I feel sad.
Couldn't they have found a place for her and her students on the ship? I mean, Liara has a huge room all to herself with her Shadow Broker stuff and monitors... Why not leave a room on the ship for our LI (may it be Jacob, Thane, Jack or Miranda) with better dialog options and a proper romance scene?
