I Should Go

by Nevery

Speeches, farewells, denials, howls of grief and of rage. Those that knew Shepard in life remember the Commander in death. Shepard's gender and any interpretations of romance are intentionally ambiguous and left up to you. Disclaimer: Reading these shorts whilst listening to "An End for Once and For All" carries with it a heavy risk of tears.

4. Four: Jack

Jack.

Fuck you Shepard.

No, no I'm not doing this.

Goddammit.

You better actually be fucking dead.

If you're not, I swear I will fucking kill you myself. You know what I mean. No fucking secret Cerberus rebirth, no hand out of the rubble, no "I got better" bullshit.

You goddamn no-good Hero. Always with the bullshit rousing speeches – they weren't even that good. Always with the, "We've got to give it all." I guess you did.

And your funeral was shit too.

So fucking fake.

Well it had to be, didn't it? So many fucking people there. Half of them I don't know – half of them only turning up 'cause you're the hot thing right now. Let's all remember Shepard and what the golden Commander did for us while we had our heads in the sand.

And it was all starched shirts and floating fucking Asari harps, and rambling speeches and poems and songs and saluting.

You would have just loved it.

Too many people crying like little bitches.

Well done Commander Fucker, you made everyone cry!

Oh, fuck you Shepard...
