Huh, well you learn something new every day.

I...I am going to end this chapter with them dancing. Because reasons.

There are war asset avatars?

Yes.  Go to My Games --> Mass Effect 3 - PC --> On that page there will be a link to sync your war assets data to your BSN profile

The avatars aren't as fancy as your Samara .gif, but...there's no ME3 Jack avatar unless you have her as a war asset

What if you got a 360 game? Can you sync your war assets to get those pics too?

[Premier Bromanov]

I don't know. I see that you have your copy of ME3 registered to your account, so check under the "My Games" tab to see if the process is similar.

 Okay, the chapter is done and this is what it ends on. York. Your fault. [/said-with-affection]

The music was something unexpected, given she knew what Ashira liked to listen to. Its rhythm was quick and strong, lending to the soldier’s movements as she danced as though no one were watching in the middle of her cabin.

From what she’d heard through sarcastic jibes and jokes through the ship, Ashira was supposedly an inept dancer. Yet that wasn’t what she was seeing – quite the opposite, the soldier appeared to be a rather proficient dancer.

Putting aside her amusement and mild confusion, Samara could not help but worry that Ashira’s sudden change was not a good thing.

When the soldier turned around and noticed her, the movements became far more subtle and she just smiled; for once it actually reached her eyes.

The Justicar tilted her head, “you seem well.” The music wasn’t so loud that they wouldn’t hear each other talk.“Cerberus is gone.”

“So you dance in celebration?”

“Why not?”

“I have never seen you dance; your crew has a very inaccurate impression.”

Ashira’s smile became awkward and she looked away; there was actually a light blush on her cheeks. “I feel stupid if I dance in a crowd, then I feel like I can’t move properly and I just lose my nerve.”

Samara’s lips tilted up, she had never imagined Ashira to be a shy one regards anything. “And now?”

The fabled Spectre shook her head and continued dancing with a content smile still on her lips, “alone or with someone I’m comfortable with; I’m just fine.”

Pleased that the soldier wasn’t covering up any further anger or pain she was about to turn and leave Ashira to her dancing, only for her voice to cut through the music again; “aren’t you going to join me?”

Samara looked back at her to see the smile of the Commander’s face had turned inviting. She had to admit both the music and seeing Ashira move made it tempting; but she had not danced in centuries. “I’m not entirely convinced that I remember how,” neither was she convinced if that was a lie or not. 

Ashira chuckled, continuing to dance even with a slight shift that made the movement of her hips more obvious. “I haven’t danced like this for years and the terrible flailing certainly doesn’t count. It comes back to you,” again she smiled at the Asari.

Samara peered at her a moment, then looked up at the window just above the Spectre’s bed. If the battle for Earth was going to be their last, would she rather spend what time was left meditating alone on the observation deck or...

She met the soldier’s eyes again, “if you’ll just let me change out of my armour.”

Ashira’s smile broadened into a grin and she simply nodded, keeping her dance to a smaller area so Samara could walk by.

When Garrus took her up to the presidium, she hadn’t answered him honestly when he asked her about the one thing she wanted to do before her death. 

But at least now she would be able to tell him she’d accomplished it.

I liked that, especially the last line!

Yay

That was great, Ashira. It's interesting to see Samara and Shepard doing things around each other that they normally wouldn't do. And, despite her lack of confidence in her abilities, Shepard dancing with Samara as the last thing she may ever do with a dear friend, that's profound.

Hey can anyone tell me how Samara reacts in ME3 if you tried to romance her in 2?

Samara takes Shepard's hand and says that they should spend the time they have left with the people they care about the most.  She smiles a little, maybe.

I can't find this scene on youtube, bah! I'll just have to figure out which of my ME2 saves I romanced Samara on.

I don't know if this has been asked already, but did Samara ever wear her black loyalty outfit in ME3? Or was that just only in the trailer?

No, it's the default red outfit.  Wait, she wears her black outfit in the trailer?  Huh, well that's interesting.  Makes me wonder if she was originally a ME3 squadmate...

She wears her Red outfit in the Trailer as well, Due to the lighting it looks like her Black Outfit.

How many of you here felt that Samara's one simple wish for Shepard in ME3 was honestly the best way to end their relationship from a story perspective?

Of-course I would have loved more romance specific dialog and such. But the nature of the content itself I feel could not have been better.

[Ashira Shepard]

Okay so I can apparently handle recording a conversation. I'm converting the file to something not quite as big (avi files are massive) and then uploading it to youtube.

If it's true that Samara does pause during that conversation, I think it's evidence that she wishes that she could be the person Shepard wants to spend his/her time with.  I think it hurts Samara to say that to Shepard, especially when Samara was so close to accepting Shepard's interest.  Very tragic, very significant.  Yeah, probably the best way to finish up their "relationship".  No direct admission of interest.  Instead, an expression of longing, and fleeting physical contact.

[Ashira Shepard]

There.

Okay.  It definitely hurts Samara to say that.  Her eyes are downcast, her voice is lowered and quieter, and she sounds slightly choked up.

I know :<

This is why fanfiction fixes everything.

There is a small pause if you want to know.

And yes. It does seem to hurt her to say it, and as she said in ME2. Had this been another life, perhaps they would be together.

And I know I am repeating myself. But in context of my own Shepard. The whole thing could not have ended better.

[Ashira Shepard]

I can certainly see it from your point of view LV.

It's just I'm a weak-hearted fangirl who writes a lot

Nothing wrong with that, and I would be lying if I said I do not enjoy reading your Samara fanfics. So please do not stop writing.

[Ashira Shepard]

*salutes* Yessir.

[gearseffect]

Ha, this place is great, great company, and fans.

I would still like a DLC where Samara is a full LI. Granted it would have to be very well done and written and things would have to develop in a very different manor than the other LI's.

As it stands now I have a good enough imagination to do fanfic, and BW left things with Samara rather open ended, with lots of room for growth.

Not to insult, but I don't think I would buy that.  I'm much too enamored of Samara the Justicar who gave up personal happiness in pursuit of the Code.  I can't really say tragic, because that would imply catharsis, which might be what you're looking for - Samara experiencing a tremendous outpouring of emotion, and then changing in some way as a result.  So, as much as it hurts me for Samara to say no, I can really appreciate how it fits in to her character.

I'm also torn between it all, part of me wants her to be a full LI, the other part would rather it be left to the imaganation like it is now. So I see your point.

On another subject of Samara's outfits, I prefered her standard Red and Black one. I also happen to like the color red. My Truck is a Redish Orange color,  My Shepard's armor is always a Red and Orange tint. In ME1 I used either the Colossus or Mercenary armor. So I got a bit of a thing for Red.

I did like her Black and Gold outfit too. Just not as well as the Red one.

[Premier Bromanov]

I prefer the strawberry suit, too. I felt that Samara gained the black suit as a symbol of her mourning. She "gets" it after her loyalty mission, where she kills Morinth. That's not to say that asari use the same colors for mourning, but my mind went there. She has the black suit to preserve the memory, but the suit is not to be worn frequently, as Samara does not wear her emotions on her sleeve, so-to-speak.

[Ashira Shepard]

Calling it the strawberry suit has me picturing Samara in an actual strawberry suit. Like...dressed as the fruit.

There is something critically wrong with this image.

EDIT: Thought that just came to me now, though I won't be including it in my writing because I've got the majority of the chapter already written...

Can Asari meld with coma patients? Specifically to check if they're still "there." Or something along those lines...

Also a thought I got just as I was writing this - what nickname do you think Vega would've given Samara had she been a squadmate? He gives nicknames to everyone. Sparks = Tali. Lola/Loco = Femshep/Dudeshep etc
