Hmm, just let Ash and Shepard be together and happy, but at some point some nasty stuff happens so both are separated by distance and emotions for a while. Just keep their relationship interesting ...

edited original. Have another  look.

I'd imagine it took Shepard more than four months to get everyone and everything together to perfectly destroy the Collectors, also, we don't know how much time has passed between the Collector Base, Shadow Broker and Arrival. That could have been a whole six months in of itself. I doubt they were done consecutively.

About the unpleasant atmosphere/discussions: This isn't the first time it has happened, won't be the last time either. It happens occasionally, maybe someone needed to get something of his/her chest, dunno how it started this time.

Anyway, I still love those stage-dialogues, Moar!!

That's the first and LAST time I post that picture. Don't want to start things off again now that it calmed down in here.

I know, apparently some people were though, so I just thought I'd put it out there that discussion like that it happens occasionally.

@Aurora; 'bout the fic, I'd like to something that inherently attracts them towards each other, an undeniable love, but at the same time something that keeps driving them apart so it creates a constant tension between them. Maybe they are constantly trying to approach each other in a loving way, trying to make it work, but their relationship is so fragile that they can almost instantly drive themselves to repulse eachother. I hope that makes sense.

Ashley: So, Mr. Shepard. Any last words?
Shepard: No, Ma'am.
Ashley: Fine then. I hope you're ready.
Shepard: Wait, one thing...
Ashley: Shoot.
Shepard: It was an honor to serve with you, Commander Williams.
Ashley: Acknowledged. Everything said, everything done?
Shepard: Yes, Ma'am.
Ashley: Then ... here you have it - and you know I hate cooking!
Shepard: Looks tasty... *tries a spoon* ... tastes tasty ... what is it?
Ashley: William's Chilli, Shanxi-style.
Shepard: ... oh ...
Ashley: Still tasty?
Shepard: Yes. ... wait ... FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Ashley: That's what my dad said when he tried it the first time ...
Shepard: *gasps*
Ashley: I think you'll make it. More?
Shepard: *cough* *cough* please ...
Ashley: Here we go ...

oh dear hope it doesn't destroy the thread. Ashley is too cool for that happen 

[Aurora313]

Here's a possible Dialogue from Halcyon. Again, nothing is solid or set as 'final' except for Shepley Action of course.

This is just another possibility I thought up, if Ash was the one turned into an avatar/infected/indoctrinated by the Reapers.

*in medical facility/lab. Ashley is sitting in Isolation, staring at her hands. Shepard pays her a visit. He's watching from an observation booth across from her.*
Shepard: Hey.
Ashley: Hey.
Shepard: You're, uh... looking better.
Ashley: *Fairly emotionlessly.* Am I? Well, isn't that great.
Shepard: *deep sigh, places forearm on the glass window and leans in* Ash, you alright?
Ashley: Not a SpecTRe anymore, not a Marine anymore... not even fully human anymore. Just tell me how in hell can I be 'alright'?! *starts to glow from her newly-developed biotics, the glass Shepard is leaning against cracks to the point of shattering. A few fragments cut into his palm and arm as he quickly recoils away*
Shepard: Damn it! *grunts in pain as he picked out the glass* Gezzus.
Ashley: I-I'm sorry. *quickly jumps up.*
Shepard: God. You need to learn how to control it Ash.
Ashley: Loved to. I don't know HOW John! It's not like I can ask another person for help! Not in here! *biotics glow again, but she calms down before anything meaningful happens.* I don't even feel human anymore! Hell. I'm NOT human anymore! I'm some twisted machine hybrid.
Shepard: And what the hell am I, Ash? I'm literally a walking corpse! Put back together like a f*cking jigsaw puzzle!
Ashley: Yea? You were dead! You weren't even alive when they started! What the did to me!? Was slow! And Agonizing! And you have no idea what it feels like to have your body being twisted and used then discarded like some puppet! No idea what it's like to shoot the person you love, while trapped as a prisoner inside your own mind! To be so violated by it!
Shepard: ...
Ashley: Chakwas and Sanders might be able to find a way to remove the cybernetics and the nano-tech. Hell. I might be able to look half-way human again! But they can't remove the biotics, or those memories! I'll still be an abomination under it all - so don't you f*cking DARE think you know what I'm feeling!
*silence except for machinary and occasional drip-drip of blood, Shepard starts to leave but stops short of the door.*

Shepard: ... We're both abominations Ash. We're on the same boat. We're both hybrids, neither human or fully machine. But I still think of myself as a human, even if it may not nessecarily be true anymore.
Ashley: ... *angry mutter* At least you look it.
Shepard: ... I'll be back a little later. I'll get something for you to eat.
Ashley: Expect me to thank you?
Shepard: Would you rather I let you starve instead?
Ashley: *Growl* Fine. Bye.
Shepard: *leaves*

I wonder how Ash looks in that flic ... poor Ash. She seems to be entirely at her end - or wants to end it. As if Shepard can do anything to comfort her ...

[Aurora313]

She kind of does go insane a bit if I follow that Path and Shepard doesn't have an easy time trying to rein her in.

If I follow the alternate path, and their positions are swapped? Shepard goes a little power mad too, but in an sort of Ok way. More like 'Im gonna be an even bigger sadistic bastard!' Rather than the 'Im gonna rampage until someone stops and hopefully/mercifully ends me' kind of Crazy that Ash would go down.

Besides, my turning Ash into a Reaper puppet? Renegade decision.
Letting Shepard do it and sacrifice what little humanity he has left? Paragon.

I'm a paragon sort of gal.

Me too, except the "gal" part ^^


Vice versa - Shepard badly wounded and partly reaperfied.

Ashley: Skipper - is that you?
Shepard: Used to be.
Ashley: You look awful.
Shepard: Nice to see you too. Yeah, I'm not a pretty sight ...
Ashley: What happened, Skip?
Shepard: Don't ask. They overwhelmed me ... put me on one of the dragon's teeth ...
Ashley: Hold on, Skipper ... Williams to Normandy, I've found him. Shepard's down here. Need the sickbay prepared.
Joker: Okay, we're on our way. ETA 15 minutes.
Ashley: Thanks, Joker. Hear that, John? Just a few minutes-
Shepard: Ash, forget me ... I'm not even myself anymore. Cerberus implantats keep my human shell, but not for long anymore ... you better shoot me ... before ... before I end like Saren.
Ashley: Nonsense. I'm here to save you. You'll come with us, Chakwas will fix you ... *some tears flow down her beautiful face*
Shepard: Go, Ash. You can't help me anymore. It's too late for me, and you know that.
Ashley: I can't ...
Shepard: That's an order, Williams - if you stay here, you'll die here. I can sense dozens of husks coming - either for you or for me.
Ashley: Then they'll have to take me too. I won't leave you ever again. *reloads a fresh thermal clip*.
Shepard: Useless. Go. Go now.
Ashley: Forget it. I'll get your sorry ass out of here.
Shepard: Ash, ...
Ashley: Shut the f*ck up, Shepard. Either you come with me or I stay here. Now keep your head down ... *empties a full mag into a group of husks*
Shepard: Forgive me ... *grabs for Ashley's sidearm and points at his head* ... you need to go.
Ashley: You're insane?!

*up to you what's going to happen in this dark dialogue*

CptData - happy end! "I'll drink to that!"

Come on, Ash, Data will write a dialogue with a happy end, you'll smile again... Right, Data? *angry gaze*

[AllianceN7Marine]

So dark in here have you all gone over to the darkside?
Heres something a bit lighter:

Shepard: Ashley, Vega are you ready?
Ashley: Come on skip why are we doing this?
Vega: What's the matter Commander, don't you like you're picture being taken?
Ashley: I just don't like the idea of being a pinup girl for the Alliance.
Shepard: It was bound to happen they could only be interested in me for so long
Ashley: Oh get over yourself John
Vega: I thinks it's great, I spent all day polishing my armor
Ashley: The only thing you love more than wearing your armor James is walking around everywhere shirtless, especially around the female members of the crew.
Shepard: That's not fair Ash, He wore a shirt last week for a couple of hours.
Ashley: You don't walk around like that John
Shepard: I don't need to I all ready have the perfect woman in my life
Ashley: John you do care?
Shepard: Of course I do, I'll have to introduce you to her one day
Vega: *Chuckles and thinks - Good one Shep*
Ashley: I'm gonna........
Camera Man: OK smile everyone

[Aurora313]

Ashley: *tackles Shepard to the ground, both avoiding a round to his head and knocking the side arm from his grasp. His human self is obviously struggling against the Reaper.*
Shepard: Please Ash! Get your gun. Put it to my head, and put me out of my misery. *His hand is twitching towards her.* Let me die as a human - argh!
Ashley: No!
Shepard: Ash! Please! I'm beg - *screaming from mental agony.*
Ashley: I can't! I refuse!
Shepard: Ash, if you don't then they'll use me to kill you! Don't make me watch another person I love die!
Ashley: There has to be some way to stop it! To reverse it!
Shepard: Ash. *his hand is nearly at her throat* Please. Do -

*Normandy arrives in Me3 demo fashion. Bombing the hell out if the husks*

Ashley: The Normandy! *hoist herself up, and pulls Shepard up too. He can't support his own weight. *
Shepard: *face contorted in pain* Arrgh! *there are dozens of voices like needles in his brain*. I can't-
Ashley: Yes you can fight them! Fight it John!
Shepard: *speaking to the Reapers* Oh, God! You want everything! Argh! The beacon, the cipher!
Ashley: John! Listen to me! LISTEN to my voice! We will change you back-!
Reapers: *speaking through Shepard* We have given him the gift of -
Shepard: *pushes Ash away, clasping to his knees* Get out! Get the f*ck out of my head!
Ashley: John! Chakwas is only a minute away! Please! Just hold on!

[Aurora313]

Problem is, there's really no way to cure the whole avatar/indoctrination thing.

The only thing you 'can' cure, is the thousand tiny voices that make a nice little home inside the victim'a head. And only if people are lucky enough to be next to the 'Die, Reaper, Die!' Button and simultaneously destroy all of them, this eliminating the voices. But beyond that, I'm fairly certain that reserving the process is impossivle, or near impossible if it can be done.

The way an avatar is made in Retribution, is by drilling into the skull and stomach, directly injecting nanomachines into both, creating artificial pathways in the grey matter of the brain to make the 'bridge' between the subject's mind and the Reapers.

If Shepard or Ash ended up like this, they'd be screwed.

Depends on my mood. Currently it's quite sad. 


Chakwas: Quick! Have a bed prepared. How is he?
Ashley: Husks tried to put him on a dragon's tooth. Shepard's implants prevented worse, but can't fight of that new tech forever.
Chakwas: That's going to be complicated. We need some real specialists here ... EDI, where's the next Hanar medical ship?
EDI: Next ship has been reported in the Artemis Tau Cluser. Coordinates locked in.
Chakwas: Okay. Do it, medical emergency protocol blue - zero - zero - three.
EDI: Plotted course. Sorry, Jeff.
Ashley: Wonder how much time he has left ...
Chakwas: Not much. It's better to put him into stase - good thanks Mordin found out how to use those Collector stasis bees.
Ashley: Do it.
Chakwas: It's risky.
Ashley: Do it. We need to risk everything to get Shepard back ... without him, we won't have a chance.
Chakwas: Ashley ... I know you're not only concerned because of our mission, am I right?
Ashley: *sigh* ... yes. But doesn't matter now. We need him back as soon as possible.
Chakwas: You can come to me, if you need to talk.
Ashley: Thanks, Doc. I'll keep it in mind. Shepard ... don't dare to die.

I
merely pointed out a fact  and data went all ragequit in repsonse.
Apparently dissenting opinions to the "consensus" are no longer welcome.
So I leave you in your "Brave New Shepley world" formerly known as the
Ashley Williams support thread, which should be open to any opinion as
opposed to a closed group.

There's a difference between "dissens" and "offending people". If you ask me, a lot of stuff was written to simply offend or provoke people here. Nothing wrong with your statement, it was more "the sum of all stuff" that made me "ragequit".

Modifié par CptData, 19 novembre 2011 - 04:38 .

[Mr. Brainheart]

I'll just say this. A support thread should be open to any supporters view that's somewhat logical and understandable (in my opinion), that will cause the occasional heated discussion, which isn't always a bad thing, as long as it doesn't happen constantly, I'd say. Ofcourse all of this must be done in a respectful manner. If you feel that anyone was not being respectful take it up with that person in private or drop it, unless there's a consensus in the thread that it was disrespectful. (Otherwise we clutter the thread with non-Ash related stuff.)

That's what I think on the matter.

[CptData]

I consider it as done. It was the sum of lots of stuff that made the Ashley-thread less enjoyable than I was used to. Maybe things go better for a while now ...

Ashley deserves better than ragequitting me:

Ashley: You're so damn right.

@ aurora 313

I like your fanfics but little correction on the side major is same rank level as commander. so Asley can not legaly issue orders to major shepard.

[AresXX7]

@redbaron76

I thought the same thing too, until another member pointed out that the ranks are set up a little different in the ME universe.
I'm on my phone so I can't provide a link. According to the codex, Major is equal to Captain.
