Author's note: This story has been running rampant in my head for the past month. I have wrote a few chapters already, but really wasn't going to post them until I had at least came to a close on one of the four other stories I have been working on (three out of the four are in the Potterverse while the other one is a Dragon Age fic.) But, I feel that Liara's story needs to be let out. I love the Mass Effect universe... you are all great! And reading quite a few of the stories was another reason I wanted to try this story out for size. It a third person narrative based off of Liara's point of view. To give everyone a bit of a heads up... it will cover a lot of things that are seen within Mass Effect 2 going very heavily into the Liar of the Shadow Broker tale, (The best ME DLC I have ever played!) as well as playing off of the Mass Effect Redemption comic. So... without further ado, I give you the prologue!
"The ties that bind one heart to another
cannot be broken; even in death."
Over two years have passed since the destruction of the Normandy. Two years... such a short time in the life of an asari. But to Dr. Liara T'Soni, those two years feels like a lifetime of hurt, anguish, and of course constant mourning. There are days when the young scientist, turned information broker, doesn't even want to get out of bed; but she forces herself to work. She needs to work, to keep her mind off of the pain she feels residing deep in her very soul.
Each day that passes, Liara searches the extranet and sends out feelers, hoping that her wary trust was not misplaced in the organisation that she and the rest of the crew from the Normandy had hunted down while they were also trying to stop Saren, Sovereign, and the geth. Dr. T'Soni knew that the Alliance had considered searching for the Commander's body, a lost cause. Only waiting a week before they announced that Commander Jaelyn Shepard was K.I.A. So with a location, funding, and a promise to bring her lover back, Liara knew she had to place some faith in Cerberus. Even though she knew it could possibly come back and bite her on the ass. But that is a chance she is more than willing to take.
A/N 2: I know it was bloody short but, I promise I will have chapter one up and running by tomorrow (with luck it will be transferred from ink to digital by tonight! I know... I know. I can't help but to write everything down first on to paper then type it out later. I catch more mistakes that way! Hope this little morsel has caught a few people's attention and I would love to know if you would want more!
