Just a thought,
Kudara, you and Ashira ought to PM the OP with the links to those url's, so they can be accessible a lot easier on the front page.

These Samara fanfic are well-written.

One of the many great things about Samara is that because of who she is, one can automatically tell when a piece of fanfiction is well thought out and masterful, and when it's just a bit of wish-fulfillment.

To wit - If Samara is randy, it's time to stop reading.

Hey, BlackMetal,

Did you see "Until the Light Takes Us"?  It was showing here in NYC for a bit.  It's always a riot to watch Varg rambling on while he sits in his cushy Norwegian prison cell.  There's nothing like the smile on his face while he talks about the news coverage of the "Satanists" burning down those churches.

I have one of Shepard asking Samara for her forgiveness for pushing her so hard about her feelings, and one that takes place shortly after the suicide mission, where Shepard asks Samara to stay to help him.

Both need some good re-formatting.  I haven't written narratives in forever.

This hot metalhead chick I know wanted to see it.  She also wanted to visit NYC, as she had never been, so of course I indulged her.  Seeing the movie was only a benefit, if you know what I mean.  ../../../images/forum/emoticons/whistling.png

I listen to black metal and death metal, too.  The Scandinavian stuff.  I'm not going to drop names, because you already know the ones I'm talking about.

I command all of you to read Who Saves the Hero...right now. If you don't I'll send ninja ferrets after you...

Morinth is very creepy in that scene. I like how they animated her smiles though, because they can still cause me to just shift a little in my seat.

Edit: That top one is the most disturbing image of ME2...but why no black eyes? I thought she always had black eyes there? o_o Or did you catch it just before they turn black?


Well certainly no one has to read my story, but I thought I'd mention Chapter 14 is up if anyone is interested.

I just started reading it. Really good so far!

Im sorry, so very sorry for that...


I do agree that Samara is easy to write for a fanfic given that she's so well defined in her morals

"in character" I see Shep (I play FemShep) feeling hurt, but then
understanding what just happened when Sarama rejects her in the Observation Room.  Samara didn't say the she didn't love Shep.  She said that she couldn't be in a relationship.

Given the coming war with the  Reapers, or at the very least a long, hard path to unifying the galaxy against them, there'd be no time for whats commonly seen as a relationship.

What would Shep want?  Marrige and kids?  Samra's done both, and likely will not want to risk having another Ardat Yakshi.  The best Shep can really hope far is someone she can trust to stand at her side and have her back.  Someone to go though hell and high water with her again and again until the war is won.  Someone she can trust with the lives of the people she cares for, respect, and stand shoulder to shoulder with against the greatest threat civilization has ever met.

With Samara, Shepard has just that.  Maybe, sometime in the furture, they can find a moment of peace and allow themselvs to hold one another for a few fleeting heartbeats between battles.  That time is not now, though.  Now is the time to lock up everything that gets in the way and focus on saving everything they love and hold dear.  It's a time for War, not love.

Will a time when both of them can set aside everything they've been fighting for and live in the moment come in their lifetimes?  Probably not.  Nothing says they can't hope and fight for it though.

Samara said "Another time.  Another life."  She did not say "No, never."

She wasn't a quickie before tossing themselves into what amounts to a hard fought skirmish.  If Samara is to be someone Shepard can love, she's going to be someone Shep has to stand, fight, and endure hell and damnnation for.  For Samara, Shep will have to face the absolute worst of everything the universe can bring to bear, meet it head on, and never under any circumstances falter or relent.  Shepard will have to walk the darkest, hardest, and most grinding and sould destroying path that we all ultimately walk alone with nothing left to drive her but the trust that Samara will be at the end of it, with Samara feeling the same fer her.  A relationship is something they'll have to drive for.  Fight, bleed, weep and battle tooth and nail with every iota of their being to acheive.

Thats not just love, it's faith.  You can be dammed sure that Samara would do the same for Shepard, but is Shepard willing to do the same for her? 

Screw happy music, warm and fluffy feelings, and a cute pre-battle love scene.  For an epic space opera, there needs to be an epic love story to go with it, and in my view, Samara easily fits the bill.  Ture love isn't painted in pastels with chirping birds and happy dances.  True Love is passion and war and defiance.  It's not a bright sunny day in a field of flowers, it is Malestrom unleashed.  It's as much trust and respect as loyalty and sacrifice, even if that sacrifice is the one you love above all.  Shepard loves Samara enough to make sacrifices for her, but does she love Samara enough to sacrifice her for what they both hold dear?  Is Samara willing to do the same?

Love, much like hate, is a word that gets tossed around far and away too much anymore.  If one feels like using that word to describe something they'd best be goddamed willing to back it up, otherwise it's a sham.

Nothing worth fighting for is every easy.  And if it ever seems it is, you either completely failed somewhere and dropped the ball, or the fight is just getting started.  I get that vibe from Samara.  The fight ins't over by a long shot, so no celebrating yet.

Yes, I'm a Samara shipper.  Though I think that if a romance between Shepard and Samara shopuld be written, than it should be of the kind that makes gods weep.


As an aside, I think this captures the feel of what a Shepard/Samara romance should require to acheive.  A perfect theme song.

Samara is out of Shep's league in ME2 IMO. Romance with her just wouldn't feel right with the way they wrote her character.  She is a good soul mate and friend. Someone to be trusted and counted on. Someone to help Shep in need and a life long companion. ME3? We'll have to wait and see. As it stands now in ME2, I think a romance detracts from her character.  So basically I share your sentiments about Samara.

I can understand others wishing that she was a romance option and I don't think that there is anything wrong with some players hoping for that.
