Christmas snippet now up on Chapter Two! A collection of standalone snippets of my favorite couple: Shepard and Vakarian.

Shepard's alive, Kaidan isn't and Shepard isn't about to forget that. Whoever is responsible will rue the day they thought to attack the Normandy.

I died, and now I'm not sure whether I'm in limbo, hell, or somewhere else. As memories of my past life fade along with bits of my sanity, I wonder if I'll be able to find a way home before I forget it exists. I'll just have to take any help I can get. S/I

A quickie that leaves a quarian feeling icky.

It's not the same exact story as the game but the same plot line, with personal touches added on and things that I felt would be interesting.
