A/N: A "drabble" is an extremely short work of fiction, typically around 100 words.
"Crossing the Rubicon" was a drabble that I wrote for the Jan. 29th INSANITY ROUND on LiveJournal.
I have since expanded the story to include other drabbles. So, each "chapter" will be totally unconnected with each other. Also, every story will assume a M!Shepard and Tali pairing, unless otherwise specified. I have no problems with other pairings, but [Tali X Shepard] is simply my "default".
I hope that you all find this worthwhile, amusing, and/or enjoyable!
If you see anything you really like, and would like expanded, shoot me a Private Message!
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
"Crossing the Rubicon"
Written for the January 29th, 2014 INSANITY ROUND on LiveJournal
Prompt: "Point of no return"
Tali entered the elevator and proceeded to nervously bounce on her toes. For the hundredth time that day, she went over the plan in her head.
"I just have to go in there and tell him I'm ready. Simple," she whispered to herself. Summoning up every last ounce of courage, she pressed the indicator for Deck 1. Her stomach lurched, and not from the elevator's ascent.
"Keelah, Tali – get your head on straight! I'm ready for this! I've taken the best immunobosters, anti-biotics, and even that disgusting sludge Mordin called an herbal supplement! Oh ancestors, if you can hear me… please, make this work!"
The elevator stopped as it reached its destination. Tali tentatively stepped out and approached the door to the captain's quarters. This was her big moment. She was about to show her face to the man she's had a crush on for over two years. Not only show her face, but feel his skin on hers. Maybe even go further than that…
This train of thought caused her to blush furiously and her nervousness returned, making her hesitate at the door for a moment. This truly was the point of no return. Does she dare cross the Rubicon and change her life forever?
She sighed deeply, opened the door, and approached her captain. Her lover.
And it was totally worth it.
