Cora Shepard is facing a lot of unknowns: Collectors, Cerberus, coming back from the dead, and Miranda. Set during the beginning of the ME2 timeline.

The Collectors are abducting colonists and its up to Shepard and her crew to stop them. But how can the Savior of the Citadel fight for a future for the galaxy, when she herself is bound to the past...and its secrets? FShepard and Miranda Pairing. Slight A/U; M for Language and suggestive themes.

Knowing how many lives would be extinguished by her choice was a heavy burden, but it was one she was willing to bear for the remaining moments of her life. Shepard had chosen to destroy the Reapers and leave the woman she loved without ever telling the thief her true feelings. It seemed too late now, but sometimes one journey must end for another to begin.
