@CptData: That's really good, but, crap... what a way for me to start the day.

That partly fits with the way I see the gift, though, too. Shepard was a little wary of doing it, but he didn't want to hurt Liara. He did make sure she got to see how he feels about Ash, though.

EDIT: Top of the page Ash, to fight off the depression:

Sorry I spoiled your start into the day


Since it gets lost as last post of the page, have this repost.

Okay, that's "post-Ending" - Ashley & Liara talk. Since it fits, it's about the "gift".
Warning, depressive!

-----------------

Liara stood in front of the door of Shepard's cabin and heard a sobbing from inside. She decided to look if everything was alright.

Liara: Hey ... may I come in? Everything's alright?
Ashley: ... no ... don't come in. I want to be alone ...
Liara: Ash ..? You know, if you want to talk ...
Ashley: I don't wanna talk, Liara. I just need time.
Liara: Okay. I just wanted to tell you something about Shepard. If you feel better, you may come down later.

Hours were passing until Ashley decided to accept Liara's offer.

Ashley: Hey ...
Liara: Hello Ashley.
Ashley: I thought about what you said. Sorry ... we haven't been friends all time and ... you were the last one I expected looking for me.
Liara: Everyone was wondering why you didn't come down for our situation meeting. You weren't answering any calls as well so someone had to check for you. Everything alright?
Ashley: No ... not a bit. Where is Skipper, Liara ... and where are we?!
Liara: EDI is currently calculating our position. And Shepard ... I don't know ...
Ashley: He's gone, Liara. Again. He died a second time, left me alone a second time ... *tries to fight tears*
Liara: Ashley, I know. Shepard showed me.
Ashley: How ... ?
Liara: Before he left, I gave him a gift, I melted my mind with his. It's a custom in our culture and is usually done between lovers and close friends. It also doubles as farewell. Shepard was a close friend to me. When we melted our minds, he saw some of mine and I saw some of his memories.
Ashley: I should feel jealous now ... but I'm not, Liara.
Liara: Actually, I feel jealous, Ashley. The most prominent image in his memories was you. You were with him all time, from the very first moment to the last. Shepard was able to go through all the pain and dead because of you.
Ashley: ... he just didn't make it in the end ... *loses the fight against tears*
Liara: Shepard didn't want to die, Ashley. He wanted a future. ... hmmm ... why not. Why shouldn't I show you?
Ashley: What?
Liara: If you're accept it, I may show you Shepard's last memories. All I need is to meld my mind with yours. Are you ready?
Ashley: I am ready.
Liara: Close your eyes ... *focuses on Ashley's face* ... embrace eternity ...

Shepard: Liara, I ... don't know. These memories are private.
Liara: Yes, they are. I showed you mine. You know why I care for you that much. You know that I love you, even if it was never destined to happen. You love Ashley ...
Shepard: Yes, I do.
Liara: I can't tell you how happy I am for you two, but you can feel it.
Shepard: It has no future, Liara. You know it. I won't come back ... there is no future for Ashley and me.
Liara: You're certain about that part, right?
Shepard: Absolutely. How can this lead to a happy ending? The Reapers ... they can't be taken down without a sacrifice. Like Mordin realized it in his final moment, I do so now. It has to be me. When the beacon knocked me out, my fate was written down already.
Liara: Knowing ones own future can be a burden, Shepard.
Shepard: Yeah ...
Liara: Don't fear that future. You do it for Ashley ...
Shepard: That's the only thing I regret. I do it for her, but not for me. There's no future for us ...

Liara: That's not all of it, but the part that's most interesting to you, Ashley.
Ashley: He knew it. He knew it from the beginning ... *tears flowing freely*


.... -.-

I'm sad-facing now. What's more upsetting is the Dialogue ingame implies that Shepard's not even looking for an out after the final charge. He's content to die in the end (there's also subtly implications that it's the result he wants too). Makes it all the more sadder to for the audience when Shepard seems to realize with his line 'Let's get this done, and go home.' to Ash that he does in fact want to return to her, even though he knows its not gonna happen.

That's the image of Shepard I had in my mind while typing this down. He saw it coming: there was no way out alive for him. He accepted the fact he may die in the final charge like everyone else - so the attempt in defeating the Reapers might fail.

Ashley knew it too as you can hear when her voice cracks. That's the moment when she's realizing the truth.

[Aurora313]

I want a Dragon Age -equse epilogue... ya know, everything been done, but you at least get to go around the Normandy and chat to your crew - maybe (to put it bluntly) get laid by the LI. And for the credit scene to trigger (probably a giant ceremony or celebration), you simply have to leave the Normandy through the bridge airlock.

[Dannycni]

Holy crap CptData, that got me down after a great start to my day lol. Very good though.

@Instance that was a great dialogue

I don't mind Shepard dies, in some ways it makes him more epic, but I just wanted the opportunity if I did things correctly that I could walk off in the end with Ash and, to use the old cliche, live happily ever after. Plus it would have been great to after the mission be back on the Normandy and able to have some final celebration dialogue with your crew, maybe meet Garrus in Purgatory for a drink with Jacob aswell. Open that bottle of brandy again with Chakwas and just get to talk with the rest of the crew, of course ending with meeting your LI and getting down to business

^ this is something I can support. Dialogue anyone?

Some post-war-Shepard-is-among-his-friends-dialogue? I highly could use it.
Of course, don't miss Ashley. We need some happy Ash now

[Aurora313]

I would, but I'm not exactly in a creative mood.

[Dannycni]

^We could only post the Ashley dialogue though surely cause the rest would be seen to be 'off topic' unless it is a really really really long post with all character dialogue in it including Ashleys

I've been trying to come up with some tuff but I simply can not do it justice and I keep having brainfarts and not being able to finish, but with the talented writers on here I'm sure someone can post something good

Ashley: The Normandy's not the same without you, Shepard.
Shepard: I know. I'm just glad to be out of the hospital.
Ashley: You're not upset about your leg?
Shepard: I can't do much about it now. Still have to wait about six weeks for the nerves to heal before they can graft a new one. Besides, I don't mind that much in all honestly. Of all the things I could have lost in that last charge, losing a limb seems like I got off easy.
Ashley: Guess you're right about that. Everyone on the Normandy is waiting for you, you know. Their illustrious Commander's triumphant return.
Shepard: His triumphant hop is more like it.
Ashley: Heh. You're horrible Skipper.
Shepard: Ash, in life there comes a point where you learn to laugh, or you go insane. I very nearly went insane after Elysium, and during the rally. I think I'd stick to laughter from now on.
Ashley: I like hearing you laugh, I never get to hear it that often.
Shepard: Yes. I like it when you smile too. I think you should do it more often as well.
Ashley: I'll make a point of it. And here we are.
Shepard: Home sweet home.
Ashley: No place like it.

James: Hey Loco. We kicked those Reaper bastards straight to hell!
Garrus: I can barely believe that you pulled the one off.
Shepard: What can I say? I'm one magnificent bastard.
Joker: That you are, Commander. That you are.
Tali: I'm sorry about your injuries Shepard, It's a shame they couldn't repair your leg.
Liara: If we had gotten to you sooner, they might have been able to salvage it.
Shepard: Guys, guys, guys, guys. As much as I appreciate standing here with the handshakes and the hugs and the congratulations. I believe there is a fully stocked bar one floor below right?
Joker: Yeah. Its about the only thing that wasn't damaged by the final attack.
Shepard: Then why are we standing up here. You know standing around and chatting, when we could be down there getting hammered and celebrating?
Traynor: Because we wanted to greet our Commander when he made his return.
Shepard: That's nice and all, but guys. Barroom, now.

*Short Silence*

Shepard: Barroom. Now. And I believe about half of you own me a few rounds.

*Everyone laughs*

Shepard: *gestures to elevator* I have SPOKEN!
Ashley: I think I still have a case of Guinness stored away for you.
Shepard: Once again, adding to the very long list of reasons why I love you.
Ashley: Figured you'd say that. 

Something like this maybe? Wrote it a month ago, and it still suits my Shep just fine. Even if I tossed most of my headcanon out the window.

Brilliant Aurora, *insert image of me applauding wildly with a smile on my face*

Aurora: that's one of the best pieces to keep one's mood up. I'll give it a try later - first I have to attend a real meeting IRL

@ Igib: just playing with one of many headcanons.

Ashley: So what are you planning to do after the War's over?
Shepard: Retire. Definately. I'm getting too old for this sh!t.
Ashley: You're barely 30... or is it 32? I'm not exactly sure... because, you know. You died.
Shepard: Physically 29, Chronologically 31. But trust me, I think I've seen enough of this action. Wouldn't mind a nice beach somewhere. Hide away from the universe.
Ashley: You'd go insane inside an hour. I'd give you a week tops before you came back.
Shepard: I'm not disputing that. But it sure as hell isn't gonna stop me from trying.
Ashley: Are you at least gonna keep your SpecTRe status?
Shepard: If the council keeps the hell off my case, then I might - yes.
Ashley: Cute. But, Shepard you can't retire. You know as well as I do that Space is the only place you feel at home.
Shepard: I guess you're right. Space is my home and coffin. And as the old saying goes, 'Home is where your heart is'.
Ashley: And just where is that for you, Skipper?
Shepard: ... Do you even need to ask?
Ashley: *knowing smile* No... I don't.

Great dialogue Aurora, love the diary entrries CptData, can't wait for more. You guys inspire my fanfict writing also, Ashley and Shepard have a great storyline because of what you two do, mainly you two but others as well. Just wanted to thank your effort into writing it, makes my days so much better... I have a rather boring life enduring the week.

(don't steal your ideas, take inspiration and help me think of how I can evolve the characters. If that makes any sense).

I'm lazy too and I have posted two dialogues and are working on two new dialogues . You can do it!!!

C'mon Mr. Lazy, you can do it.

Ash is worth it. Or Tali, if you write something for ya too

[CroGamer002]

OK, I'm trying to figure out how would talk go between Tali and Ashley, after Ash broke up with Shepard and he's with Tali.

When Shepard treated Ash well, so she broke up with him and called Tali her little sister.


So yeah, I'm trying to figure out how would that talk go, when they're in private.

[iHorizons]

@CptData

I loved that dialogue, I think it's one of your best

[PMC65]

Good morning CptData ... Sorry for the late response but sleep & to-do lists, ack!

I could see where Ashley would not like the whole "gift" thing from Liara but then again this is the final push. If it gave Shepard comfort just as he was about to ... I can't even think about that gawdawful ... sorry, the ending is just ... moving on - I don't see Ash looking at it as "cheating" but I could see her being jealous of sorts. That's okay that she wouldn't be thrilled about it in my book because its an honest emotion. Would any of us like someone else being able to give our lover, spouse an extra dose of something? We would want it to be us ... so her not being thrilled would be okay and not villianous (did I just make up a word or misspell?). Villainous

But based on the fact that Ashley went to talk to Liara after Thessia who knows if they finally found peace between each other. After all, Ashley was hospitalized saving Liara. Both of their worlds are falling, loved ones have died and these two have been through Saren together as well as what is happening now at the end. In my head canon, I would like to think that when Ashley went to talk they even shared their different spiritual beliefs that help get them through it all. But that is just me. With PV Shepard, I will even RP it that Liara asked Ash previously if she could give the gift to Shepard and after Liara explained what it was Ash said yes.

One thing I've always thought ... if these characters were real how would each feel when they heard outsiders bash their teammates? I have a sneaking suspicion that Ash would give someone an earful for bashing Liara. It's that old "I can say my brothers a jerk but not you" thing.

And Mesina2 ... it's cool that you can't stand the character. I've never begrudged a person for not liking something I did. With three brothers you learn very quickly that everyone has their own likes/dislikes and its okay. The world still goes round n round.

EDIT: misspelling corrected ... that's better

Ash.

[Dannycni]

@Mesina, That'd be a cool convo to see between Ash and Tali and how it'd affect their relationship because in one of my run throughs I cheated on Ash with Tali and I always wondered how Ash would have felt being betrayed by 2 people who were so close to her.
