Hello , this is Cycian , the crazy writer, the concept of this fanfic is :
- I listen to a music , and I write what's on my mind when I hear it . Then I post it after the correction . I give the title in the beginning of every littles stories ( they are not related to each other ) so you can listen to the music while reading for a better experience .
I am French , and I wrote everything in my native language , I just translated it ( took me a lot of time ) and post it . So if there is a mistake , you can let me know in the reviews or by PM . I will always reply .
So disclaimer : I don't own mass effect, it's bioware's work , bla bla bla ...
I dedicate this fic to Hans and Jack .
Beggin - Madcon
The commander Shepard was enjoying the party that he started himself . He was enjoying the view enticing view of a drunk Tali who danced in a very sexy way . He was really enjoying the way she swayed her gorgeous hips . He was pulled back in the present by a high-pitched scream who could only belong to Samantha .
The raven-haired girl was lifted by Grunt , lifted himself by Wrex lifted by the bio tics powers of Jack
" Pyramid ! " Exclaimed the younger Krogan
" We miss someone under ! The biotic doesn't count ! " Said Wrex
" You can sod off ! " Replied the said biotic .
The commander decided to join in the game
" Come on girls, make place for DA COMMANDER " Smiled Shepard, while putting Grunt's right foot on his shoulder
" Can I have my word on it ? No ? Well, fine ." Sighed Samantha , who seemed pretty happy to be above .
" Attention Shepard, I turn off the telekinesis " Prevented Jack
The commander has carried VERY heavy things ,heavy weapons, a passed-out Kaidan in a full armor , and a certain quarian . However , even with those antecedent , Shepard wasn't prepared to have a big Krogan of at least 350 kilos on the shoulders .
Apparently, the commander's face should have been funny , because Jack burst out laughing, and Kasumi appeared to take a picture before disappearing .
" Help ! " Screamed Shepard
Kaidan suddenly had a panicked look
" TIMBER COMMANDER TIMBER " Yelled the biotic
" Timb... Whaat ? " He lifted his eyes, and felt Grunt's foot leaving his shoulders . The blue-eyed Krogan felt lamentably on the couch , still holding Samantha, who had tears of laughter rolling down her cheeks .
" Grunt is ticklish ! " Tried to articulate Samantha between to fit of laughter .
Deadman's gun
" The paths are open, commander "
Shepard was thinking of what he has done, and began to run toward his end .
He remembered his first footsteps on the Normandy , his firsts words with Joker, the death of Jenkis, of Nihlus, of Saren, the constant anxiety that he felt , the joy that he shared with his crew, his friends , his family .
He remembered the sadness and the regretted that he felt at his own death . The relief of waking up , the fear of the unknown and of what every tomorrow could bring . The culpability that he felt when he understood that a part of his crew didn't had his chance . The fear that everybody might have forgotten him , or turned the page .
But he also remembered the drunken party between friends, the discussions with his crew ...
The good moments ... His first kiss with Tali, the first time he ever saw her without her mask , his first Ryncol hangover . His laughing fit with his friends , the " Nam FlashBack ! " of Thane , or the " Ninja Attacks " of Kasumi .
He knew he'll probably never come back . He knew that he won't build a house on Rannoch for Tali . That he won't hold her in his arms again . That he won't play matches of biotics-volleyball with Jack . That he won't meditate with Samara again . That he won't sing with Mordin anymore . That he won't drink with Zaeed while sharing stories .
That he won't do the " Shepard-Wrex " game . He won't hear the " it was a joke " of EDI . He will never hear the dirty jokes of Ken Donnely again . And he won't gossip with Kasumi again too .
He won't drink the tea with Miranda again . And no more Serrice Brandy with Chakwas. No more " Calibrations " from Garrus . No more stalking from Liara .
He won't play poker with Steve, James and Joker. He won't see the victory against the reapers.
He won't see the sun rising .
And he won't see Samantha's new toothbrush
He won't read Tennyson on Kaidan's grave with Ashley . She will read it alone on his grave .
" It was a good ride " He thought , but he was trying to convince himself .
He was proud of what his crew accomplished . Miranda was not the ice queen he once knew , Jacob became a good man , sure of himself , Kasumi turned the page , Jack became more social ... Everybody changed , in a good way .
Shepard hoped that his death won't cause too much sadness
While he was heading toward his final destination, all the thoughts of the Conmander were for his friends, his love and his hope .
" I don't want to go . But I must " He let himself fall in the green ray .
" Tali " was his last word . And his last stare was upon Earth , who will be free soon .
He won .

Miranda opened her eyes . She was wounded, but alive. She lifted her eyes toward the sky . It was blue . Blue. Blue. Without reapers , only filled with medical ships . She get up, picked her gun , and walked toward the nearest information center . She needed to know what happened to the commander , to the Normandy , to her sister ,to her friend .
And to Jack .
The commander waked up. He was connect to machines . He knew it . But he was alive , and he didn't expected that.
" Commander, calm down , it's me , Miranda "
" Where are we ? Where is the Normandy ? " Asked Shepard
" We are in London and the Normandy is here . And Tali too , if you were about to ask " Reassured Miranda .
The commander didn't need any others information . He get up while tearing all the tubs that connected him to the marines , while ignoring the orders of the ex Cerberus's operative .
He kicked down the door and walked down the corridor without thinking about the doctors who tried to stop him . He kept on walking until he found the waiting room .
Her quarian lover was here, and her glistening with tears violet eyes told more than a long speech .
" We can stop surviving , we can start our lives now. Together."
" On à fini de survivre Tali. Maintenant, on peut commencer à vivre "
