Pop. Click.
Pop. Click.The rhythm of the detonator’s protective cap opening and closing under the pressure of her thumbnail, ragged from the persistent chewing, provided a soothing cadence to the jumbled, tangled mess of her thoughts and memories. The pop click matched the creaking in her jaw, teeth clenched together. Nothing was ever simple. It wasn’t that everything she knew was a lie. It was just that it wasn’t as … cut and dry as she remembered.

Summary
“What are you doing here, Zaeed?” Her voice was changed, raspy, dry, and weakened. She felt small, listless. Shifting her head took a gargantuan effort, like a newborn baby unable to hold up its own head.
“Someone had to keep the vultures and boot-lickers away,” he said quietly and looked down at his feet.
Shepard closed her eyes. “Sure,” she said just before drifting off to sleep again.

Summary
Electric blue filled the room, framing a specter in the doorway with an otherworldly glow. A wraith lingered there, thinner than she'd ever been, hair tangled, no longer bound by regulations or the need for practicality, she was an echo herself, wreathed so briefly in that eerie light.
The resounding bang rattled the creaking bones of a house and a woman in concert.
Jane trembled.

Summary
He’d asked her once, what she got up to when she wandered away when most folk, Maker-fearing or not, had the good sense to sleep for a couple hours more. She simply offered a demure smile and said, “We all have our secrets, Thom. Please allow me mine.” The smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Summary
"Is it all humans who can't stand to sit still, or just you?" Wrex boomed as he climbed the rubble that served as a ramp. He laughed as he walked, a deep rumble that permeated the atmosphere with warmth.
It was a comfortable warmth. Like sitting close to a hearth fire or sipping from a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Neither experience John was overly familiar with. But that rich and bassy expression of joy was just as good. Better even.
John smiled and snapped his fingers again. "All humans are exactly the same, thought you knew that."

Summary
This was only ever going to end one way.
There were emeralds in her hands and crystals forming in her eyes. She shook her head, "No, you-you ... you always have a plan," she sputtered, the truth failing to take grasp as her mind fought violently against it. "Medigel, sutures, antidotes, a fucking safe house, or-or a false identity so you can call for help!"
"Not this time," he answered weakly. His breath had grown so thin already, a reedy, wheezing sound.
Emerald green painted her palms, evidence of her violence sunk into the lines, rivers of shimmering cruelty. She tasted salt and copper on her tongue, bitter as the lie that lay shattered and slipping away at her feet.
