So this idea popped into my mind yesterday while I was replaying Mass Effect 1. These will be short little diary entries starting with an entry before the Normandy is attacked in ME2 and jump to a diary entry two years (& 12 days) later after Shepard is brought back. This fic is just for fun, nothing serious.

Dear Diary,
It seems unbelievable that just two months ago Saren and his Geth army were attacking the Citadel. So much happened within just a few hours it's almost too much to comprehend. I would have never expected to make it out of there alive but, I did. The new year party on the Citadel was amazing, races from all over the galaxy joined together to celebrate the defeat of Saren and his Geth. No matter how hard I try though no one but my crew seems to believe that the Reapers are still out there and will stop at nothing to commit genocide against us. I can only hope that I find some way to stop them... Since then the team of aliens I have allied myself with have gone their own ways. Tali has gone back to the Migrant Fleet to present her gift (the data on Geth evolution I discovered) to a captain of her choice so that she can complete her pilgrimage and be accepted as an adult. I hope she comes back, I miss her already. As silly as it seems I developed a sister bond with the Quarian. Liara left to Illium, some kind of Asari home world in the Terminus Systems. She seemed, changed by her experiences while under my services. I will have to check up on her later. Wrex went to Tuchanka. Said he wanted to make a change and bring the Krogan tribes back together and rebuild old alliances. At first I was skeptical asking him what happened with the whole "I gave up on my people." talks we used to have. He would only grin and tell me that life is too short-lived to be fighting with your own kind. It was kind of scary hearing him talk so logically. Garrus is on a well earned vacation, he went home to visit his dad. I'm sure after everything he's been through he needs time alone to sort things out. At first Garrus didn't seem to know right from wrong but hopefully after serving under me I have changed his opinion. Though I do admit, I really miss him. Kaidan is still here with me, we don't talk unless it's during shore leave but we send signals to one another, letting the other know we are here for the other if they need it. My mind keeps flickering back to our night before Illos and although I enjoy Kaidan's company, I question myself wondering if our actions were out of love or lust. Talking about my night Kaidan brings other memories, memories of Virmire. I still beat myself up for it, telling myself that I didn't pick Kaidan over Ash because of my feelings for him but then I began to realize I'm only lying to myself. Ash was a good soldier; she didn't deserve to go out, not like that. But I can't bring myself to tell myself that it was a mistake. I...care about Kaidan and I just couldn't bring myself to leave him behind. Anyways, currently the Normandy is looking for the last pockets of Geth resistances, we have had reports of four missing ships but we can't seem to find any evidence, not even distress signals. Something will turn up soon but, I have a bad feeling about this.

These will genuinely be short 500-1000 ish word entries and because of their lengths they are easier to write up then my longer stories so this one will be updated more often when I'm not feeling too lazy. I'll try to stick to the general order of occurrences in the game.
