Kelly thought as she stood at her holo-display drawing on a piece of paper on the countertop. She gazed at the now complete doodle with her head resting on a bent hand. It depicted two feminine figures looking at each other inside of a heart that encompassed th

"Fuck, I'm starving." Jack's harsh words pierced the darkness around her destroying the silence that had settled in the belly of the Normandy. The ex-con sat up slowly and yanked on the cord beside her that lit her surroundings with a dying light. She pressed her palms against her scalp in an attempt to push out the last of her grogginess. Her cot wasn't the sweetest place to sleep but she'd be damned if she was gonna ask the commander for anything better. She had her pride to look out for. It was already wounded by the fact that she was still ship-ridden due to her physical injury at the biotic hands of that crazy asari spectre. The metal br

She's not the badass super heroine she made me believe she was and… I like it. Their lips separated and Jack found those teary, emerald eyes staring back at her but, this time, in a far different light. Jack smiled possessively. "About damn time." Cera scrunched her face. "I'm crying and I kiss you and that's what you have to say? Jee, thanks." Jack grew surp

The endless vacuum, negative two hundred and seventy degrees Celsius, and black as the deepest trenches of the sea, is deadly and frightening when caught in the midst of it. Even the venerable Shepard, who had spent her entire life onboard starships and cruisers, grew pale as she descended towards a planet's atmo

Wind sang in curls beyond the painted glass, churning brilliant patterns of greens and blue across Elsa’s icy carpet. Frost crept further along the rugs and wooded floor, coming to a halt at the foot of the walls. Elsa stared icy daggers at the defiant wall, willing her ice to seek dominance over the slaves of her room, but the ice would push no further. After a moment of tight brows and clenched fists, the heiress relaxed her body in a heavy sigh. Her bed was now frozen nearly solid. She would need to have the sheets replaced in the morning. Maybe the frame, too. The blankets covering her glistened in a way only ice could, without pla

People like candles, right? Candles are... a nice thing. Well, if there's any to be found on Omega, that is. Jack walked about her apartment arranging her miniscule amount of furniture and doing her best to make her home presentable.
