Happy Valentine's Day everybody! This is just a one-shot of Lucy and Liara figuring out what Valentine's Day means to them :) [Based on the original story where I am working with information up to Chapter 37, but I tried to avoid major spoilers if readers haven't made it that far yet and am intentionally vague in some aspects in this one-shot!]

For biotickaidan for the Mass Effect gift exchange on Tumblr. Amelia Shepard was a lot of things, but she would never call herself a romantic. That's why turning to fraternization surprised her so.
