So, what happens to your femshep?
Jamie, I love all your Sheps and their epilogues. And so many other great pics have been posted here by everyone the last few days...
I'd been working on my own Shepard's epi, but got bogged down by it, then busy with other stuff. But I did manage a Cliff Notes version:
Kacey was found on a pile of rubble in London and rushed to an aid station. The physical damage was bad, but the mental and emotional damage was worse. She chose ‘Destroy’ not only because it was--to her--the only sensible option in a situation where
all the choices were bad, but also because she would die in the process and not have to deal with what she’d done to EDI and the geth afterward. So when she woke up in a hospital bed, well on her way to recovery, to say that she wasn’t happy to be there would be an epic understatement. The few friends she had who were still on Earth at the time (Ashley, Jack, and also Kelly, who’d been on the Citadel) visited her nearly every day, but it didn’t help. If anything, she was getting worse.
The day after Kacey’s second suicide attempt (the first had been thought to be an accident), Jack planted herself in her hospital room and refused to leave, ‘visiting hours’ be f***ed. She slept on the spare bed when it was free, on a cot when the bed was needed for another patient, and on the floor when someone needed the cot. For weeks on end she stayed by Kacey’s side, talking to her, reading to her, heading off the third suicide attempt before it barely got started, and gradually helping her through one of the galaxy’s worst cases of PTSD. When Shepard finally came out the other end of it, she found she’d made the tightest friend she’d ever had, and it remained that way for both of them for the rest of their lives.

Interstellar communication was slowly being restored, and two years after the battle for Earth Shepard finally heard from the crew of the
Normandy, and learned that most of her friends had survived and were okay. That was a wonderful moment. Getting to speak to Liara, see her face and hear her voice again, was an even better one. They had no idea when the mass relays would be repaired enough to allow the ship to return home, and Liara urged Shepard to move on without her and find someone new, but she wouldn’t hear of it. She’d wait, as long as she had to.
That turned out to be another six years. But finally one day the
Normandy was in orbit over Earth, and Kacey was first in line at the end of the Citadel’s docking arm, running aboard before the hatch had even finished opening. The hugging, kissing, crying, storytelling, and drinking went on long into the night (and the next morning), gradually moving from the ship to Purgatory to Ashley’s London flat.
Kacey had already retired from the service long before, and now she and Liara settled into a cozy little house on
Cape Cod, raised their daughters, fell more in love every day, and they lived happily ever after.

This might be heresy to admit, but I've actually come to
like the ME3 (Destroy) ending,

cuz it left the door cracked open for a happy ending and let me headcanon this for my own Shep. Jack's become one of my favorite characters, so I love the idea that Shepard would save her in ME2 and help her turn her life around, and Jack would be able to return the favor, post-ME3. BFFs forever.
