Here's to the 2000th Mass Effect fanfic on ...hard to believe we have come so far so fast. (Well I assume this is #2000, as fanfics seem to take some time to appear in the registry)
Disclaimer: I do not own Mass Effect or any characters, names, appearances, biographies or properties aside from bought and paid for copies of the games. If I did Liara would be the sweet tender girl she was in ME1, and I'd have released extensive modding kits to the fans...Plus I'd be freakin' loaded
...
Don't you see, what you're doing Li'?
Just like a bird you're soul flew free.
As innocence shined from eyes like the sea.
Now on your face all I see is a frown.
As you preside over a filthy town.
A town so full of hate and strife.
The cause of so many a ruined life.
Oh how can you look at me and say.
That you chose life to be this way.
Does our love mean nothing to you.
How can such cold words ever be true .
You say you do this for you and for me.
But don't you know revenge has a fee.
A fee that is paid of life and of blood.
A fee that buries so many in mud.
I can't lose you oh can't you see?.
Don't you know what you mean to me?.
It's you who brings out the best in me.
Without you I have no reason to be.
If you should die what could I do?.
In a cold dark world so bereft of you.
I couldn't go on if that were so.
To lose you would be the final death blow.
My life would be so meaningless.
In me you awakened lost kindness.
You came to me when I had no one.
And showed me that I musnt run.
Away from that which scared me so.
And by doing so you couldn't know.
That in my heart you made love grow.
It started out as a tiny seed.
But oh our love grew like a weed.
through all the times, through thick and thin.
From you I learned to begin again.
I'm so sorry I went and died.
At the hands of the "Collectors".
Who look suspiciously like Prothean defectors.
Its hurts to know over me you cried.
I'm after the ones who killed me now.
They're kidnapping Humans and I don't know how.
For you they'll die that is my vow.
You found me a few specialists.
For a hodgepodge crew of differed interests.
I stand before you on Illium now.
Wondering if I should ask how.
How you can be so well assured.
That the Broker's death is well insured.
You say you want to come but can't.
You cling to that nonsensical chant.
You look at me shock as I tell you.
That after the collecters I'll be back for you.
You insist the Broker has to die.
And I say together we'll make sure he'll fry.
You say you need this office to work.
And I say here an assassin could lurk.
You are much safer on the Normandy.
The Broker cant kill you if you're with me.
I take you in my arms ignoring your protests.
That we are being watched by those of Brokers Interest.
I place my lips to you and kiss you so softly.
Pouring my heart into you my lovely.
Enjoying the feel of your body to mine.
And looking into the eyes of the sea.
As I pull back and turn to leave.
I promise you that over me you wont again grieve.
For from you again I will not leave.
So please be ready when I return.
The Broker will face the wrath of angers burn.
...
KH01 here. I know this isnt much but I wrote it in like 15 minutes and slapped it up here. Its a simple poem detailing parts of Shepards life from meeting Liara until the office on Illium.
The Shepard in this story is female, beyond that I leave the name and appearance to you so you can imagine YOUR own Shepard in this scenario.
Sorry if it seems disjointed and nonsensical but like I said its rushed, plus its supposed to be a poem from Shepard, a soldier...picture it as Shepard trying to be poetic like Ashley and...failing dismally :P
I'm still amazed we reached 2000 Fanfics SO quickly O.o
Hope you enjoy.
