It would be helpful to read the others as certain references are made in this story to the events of the previous entries. They are as follows Mass Effect: The Ass Effect, Mass Effect: Perspectives, Mass Effect After The End in that order. All in all with the new Mass Effect game on the way it is exciting times indeed. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story in the Mass Effect universe. Thank you for reading! ********************************* Bodies intertwined, music pumped and everybody was celebrating. The heart of the galaxy, the Citadel was celebrating the dawn of a new year, a new decade, and a new century. 2199 ticked over into 2200 and people were celebrating. John Shepard and his wife Miranda Lawson were together, enjoying themselves. Fourteen years had passed since the Reaper attack and the Galaxy was back in form and swinging again. Majority of construction was more or less complete on the home worlds. The relays were repaired long ago and were sending people across the galaxy and a breakthrough in building new ones was seemingly around the corner. The Citadel took a full ten years to be completely rebuilt from end to end, not to forget a few improvements along the way. The improvements were seen amongst the keepers too, seemingly unrestricted now, they now were able to innovate and create. As though a new level of sentience had come about them. Only the highest level military personnel knew about the Leviathan. They had disappeared from the galaxy. A return trip to that planet found them gone, with no traces other than several wrecked ships upon that patch of ocean. Shepard and Miranda spent many years on Bekenstein, only leaving to the visit the old crew. They continued in their duty as advisors to the Alliance, Shepard was offered an Admiral's post but he was uncertain, in addition Hackett wanted Shepard to replace him on the council. Miranda's insight and intel was invaluable to all the species in bringing down Cerberus, once and for all. They were living well, Garrus and Orianna were married and happy together. Garrus remained a trusted advisor to the Turian Hierarchy. Liara continued on as the Shadow Broker, influencing events amongst a galaxy rebuilding itself. Others might have thought she would settle down, and have a few blue babies. However, she had other plans, her commitments and the hand she would soon play in the future was more important. Letting any part of the galaxy fall under the thumb of even a single tyrant would constitute a complete failure. Tali remained amongst Quarians as Admiral on Rannoch, which had much building to do. It had been spared a lot of the destruction other worlds endured, immediately following the Reaper's defeat. Even with the geth gone, the progress they made before the geth's demise proved paramount. They were not far from perfecting a serum that would allow them to have an immune system able to draw fresh air without ill effect once more. Jack and Kahlee continued training recruits especially after Grissom Academy reopened, it soon became the best biotic training facility in the Galaxy as it loomed over a rebuilt Elysium. Their track record spoke for itself as all their biotic students who had volunteered in the war survived and proved the effectiveness of the training they received from Jack. John and Miranda sat themselves down and looked to each other, still as in love as they were in that engine room, all those years ago. The frustration, pain, and torment the both of them faced when the Reapers attacked seemed insurmountable at the time. However, few things could have replaced the people, the crew and the ship which lead every advanced sentient species in the galaxy to victory. The following day after the massive party that was the night before, John and Miranda woke up in their Citadel apartment which was now rebuilt was even better than it was before. Anderson's notes on his Biography were still around, Shepard had contemplated getting it finished, but he wasn't sure. "I'm glad we've made this a habit," John said to his bride. "Hmm, me too," Miranda replied in a very sultry tone of voice. Neither of them bothered getting dressed. Shepard got into the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast for himself and Miranda. The morning flowed away as they enjoyed each other's company and continued to make good memories and times that would make them forget about the past. Miranda still had that body to die for, maybe it was her genes, and maybe it was medical technology. She did not look a day older than when they first met. At fifty Terran years, Miranda would have been considered mature by ancient standards, however, her appearance said otherwise. Same could be said of Shepard, his enhance cybernetics which brought him back to life still kept him going, most likely younger. Shepard was forty five, and still looked and felt thirty. The years after the defeat of the reapers were much kinder than those that had come before. Miranda had never lost the need to protect her sister, however she felt a little calmer knowing Garrus was looking after her as well. Her sister was herself, she had gotten a number of degrees and had eventually entered into the world of science. It was all above board and certainly much different from how her elder sister entered into the field. Her work amazed everyone, including Miranda. She had done a lot in a short amount of time. She was thirty four, two years younger than her sister when she first met Shepard. Shepard reminisced often, remembering the lost crew members. Mordin, Legion, Thane, and Anderson and not to forget the countless others who followed him. He and Miranda had visited the Alliance memorial on Earth, remembering the sacrifice and the loss. Shepard often wondered whether it should have been him on the memorial with Anderson looking on. Shepard, always remembered that Anderson wouldn't want him to do this to himself. Kahlee Sanders still missed Anderson, she was never really able to let him go. Twenty years shared between them, and the Reapers, stole him away. Shepard saw him as a father figure, remembering his last words to him, "I'm proud of you." Shepard saw her on earth, she had returned to earth to visit before returning to Grissom Academy. Knowing it was earth, or rather above it where he made his last stand. She did take some solace knowing that at least he wasn't alone that day. Shepard wondered, as he held a naked Miranda next him on the couch as the TV played in the background and the fireplace roared, keeping them entranced. It was a good thing, Shepard had found a good life. He had his fill of adventure, saving the galaxy, blood, death, and now all he wanted was to relax, enjoy his days with his best girl, by his side. "John?" Miranda snapped John out of his daze. "Yes, Miri," Shepard replied. "You seemed a million miles away." "Not to worry Miranda, I'm right here, exactly where I want to be, with my beautiful and naked wife," Shepard replied with more than a little smirk on his face. "You ass," Miranda playfully replied. Miranda's giggles were interrupted when Shepard drew her in for a kiss, and she obliged. The two locked lips and groped each other's bodies as they lay back on the couch. Miranda felt Shepard's cock harden and she felt a tingling sensation. She was wet and Shepard's hard cock would do more than satisfy her urges. The supple leather squeaked a little as they moved about. Miranda put into her mouth Shepard's cock, which she had now come to treasure. Shepard groaned as she did what she did, it felt like the first time every time and by then none of them had bothered to keep track of that. She had a free hand fondling his balls which added to the sensation Shepard felt as she kept on sucking intently. This kept on going until Shepard felt the need to return the gesture. Miranda found herself on her back and Shepard had his tongue inside her pussy and three fingers in her ass. Miranda moaned loudly, it kept her going. Shepard's movements were erratic and unpredictable which meant Miranda and especially her pussy loved every single second of it. She did not want it to end, but it did when she came. Shepard withdrew himself and watched as her pussy juices squirted and Shepard could clearly see her body trembling. She calmed herself slightly and came down from her high. She kissed him once more while she grasped his cock. She moved Shepard to another chair and once he was sat down on it. She turned away from him and began to straddle him as she was craving some penetration. She slipped it in slowly and gently at first. She then slid all the way inside, she moaned approval and continued to move up and down fucking him with a steady pace. She rocked a little, gyrating moving in circles, knowing full well she was driving her man crazy with her naughty repertoire and moves she had picked up over the last couple of years. Shepard's hands were placed firmly at her side, he felt every movement she made giving the sensation they were truly one. Both their minds were now in a lust fuelled daze and the bright, colourful lights outside the large picture windows simply added to the sensations that surged through them. Miranda had a thought and playfully ran toward the window. Shepard knew what was going on and followed her toward it. Miranda drew John in for a kiss which they shared for some time. Miranda pushed John back and turned herself around offering her ass toward him. John moved in, he placed his hands on her hips and guided his cock and began to slide it slowly into her ass. Miranda cooed with delight and offered loud vocal approval. John moved ever so quicker and soon had himself going at quite a rate. Miranda had her hands up against the glass and her body pressed up against it. They were in full view of everything and everyone outside those windows. However, they could dim the windows from outside eyes, but they did not care. Glass impenetrable to gunfire and requiring quite a bit of explosives to breach was also present. Miranda had her hands fondling her pussy all the while Shepard pumped his cock inside her asshole. The combination of all that proved enough to send her over the edge, she orgasmed hard, her pussy juices sprayed out of her pussy and coated the floor. She then held fast as Shepard announced his imminent arrival and shot his load deep inside Miranda's ass and ensured every last bit of it got inside of her asshole. They two took the time to come down from their orgasmic high loving every moment of it as they caught their breath, perfectly contented. The door bell sounded and Shepard did wonder who it was, and he got to the console and brought up the image, it was Liara. He buzzed her in and Miranda moved toward the door to greet her. Liara came in and saw Shepard and Miranda stark naked. Her first response was, "Oh my, should I come back later?" "Come now Liara, you know us both far too well to need to ask that question." Miranda spoke before drawing Liara in for a hug and a quick peck on each cheek and the lips. Liara knew of the human thing to be able to smell the scent of sex, it would appear that it was something she had picked during her time with the Commander. She wore a black jumpsuit and strode in with much confidence, concealing who she was, or the fact she was indeed the shadow broker. "Liara, how have you been?" the commander enquired, before pulling her in for an embrace. "Well Shepard, I see you two are keeping well," Liara replied. "Yes, we are all well here." "Well I am glad to see you two well, I am here among other things, because I have a discovery to share with you." "What is it Liara," Shepard enquired tentatively as he gestured Liara to take a seat. Miranda followed suit and two lovebirds sat down, still naked. "A relay of sorts, but different from the ones we are used to seeing." "Is it intact?" Miranda questioned. "Yes, it is, which would lead me to believe it does not link up to the rest of the relay network." "Who built it?" Shepard asked. "We do not know." "We?" "Javik, is a partner of sorts," Liara responded. "Good to see him still going, how is the Prothean?" Shepard asked "Good, a little more upbeat after all these years of peace." "Change comes to us all." "That indeed it does, the galaxy has not healed all of its wounds from that war, but we are working on it." "I know you are, are you needing a helping hand from either of us?" Shepard responded. "No Shepard, you have done enough for every single living organic in the galaxy and you honour those passed with what you have done, I cannot ask you to do anymore." "Liara, you are a comrade, a fellow warrior in arms." "John and I are here for you Liara," Miranda interjected. "Thank you both of you, I really appreciate that." "So any chance we could see this discovery of yours," Shepard asked. "Of course, whenever you are ready," Liara replied. "We would love to see this," Miranda responded. "Then it is settled, you know where to get in touch, I'll be seeing you two love birds." Liara said her goodbyes and Shepard and Miranda was once again alone. Miranda produced a wicked grin and Shepard knew what that meant. They ran up the stairs and found themselves inside the hot tub with their arms around each other fondling, kissing, and fucking. Liara walked the corridors of the new Silversun strip amongst all the people mingling and going about their business. Most knew of the Reapers as they had survived the war, however, Liara knew full well they had lost someone. When she found her 'father' she felt content, however, what happened to her mother years ago was something she never forgot. The pain of holding her mother in her arms as she died, had faded but she never forgot. Liara got into her sky car and headed off flying in amongst the cars, she headed to the docking bay and boarded her ship which was quiet, discreet, and did not attract much attention. She then left heading back to her new flagship, one built for stealth and discretion. She left to her next destination. (Rannoch) Admiral Zorah looked out on the Quarian city, she admired what her people had done. Some the old repurposed ships were now skyscrapers. Other buildings, including the one she was in was newly built and conceived. She still wore her suit, with its contours forming to her body. The one she was wearing looked different and showed her bestowed. Although she did not care much about things like that, as her people came first. She was content, weary, but content. She had done much and remained a busy woman. Most the people she knew had perished at the hands of the Reapers, and Geth. Guilt crossed her mind once or twice as to how she survived whilst so many did not. As she remained lost in her thoughts someone buzzed at the door. She snapped back to her senses and went to the door. "Yes?" Tali enquired as she opened the door. "The science team is ready for you Admiral." "Thank you Jonah, I'll be there shortly." Tali admired who he had become, knowing what happened to both his parents' years ago, made her weep. She had adopted him after the war and admired the fine young man he had become. It was a small bit joy from all that pain. Tali readied herself and headed down towards the science team. They were located in a basement 30 levels down. The Admiral headed down in the elevators, still not liking them one bit. The trip was swift and once on the desired floor she stepped out moving toward the door. There was a guard who had saluted her as she passed through the door. "Ah Admiral Zorah, I am glad you could make it," said the head scientist who had called her down. "I am told you have something important to share with me." "Indeed Admiral, there is no other way to say this, we have done it. Quarians will be able to live without suits entirely." "What is it?" "A serum we have developed here. It interacts with the Quarian nervous system and strengthens it." "Is this serum ready?" "Yes, one hundred percent." "We have a successful volunteer right here." "Another Quarian walked in and was without a suit, his head was exposed and he was healthy." "How will we dispense this cure?" "Well we could use what the Krogans used to cure their genophage." "Do we have such a device?" "Yes, we do have a blueprint of designs from Admiral Xen, she never was able to build it before she died. However, she left quite a detailed blueprint and we do have the materials to build it." "Then do it doctor, our people need a new dawn." "Admiral, we have another dose of the serum, if you would like to receive it now." "Yes, it would be nice to remove my helmet and not worry about getting sick for a change." "Let us begin Admiral." Tali went in and the serum was administered to her. Afterwards she slept and when she awoke, she was able to experience a new kind of life. She was once again in her quarters when she woke up. She headed to a nearby mirror. She looked long and hard at the suit she was in, she looked up to her face plate and removed it, and she drew in a sharp breath of air. She then pulled back the hood and let out her long black hair out. Hours past and she was fine, eventually an entire day passed and she was not ill or sick, she was perfectly healthy. "Keelah, it worked," Tali thought to herself. She congratulated the doctor and his whole team they had done the impossible. Work had already begun on the global atmospheric dispersal device form Xen's blueprint. This Tali found rather ironic, Xen was known for her weapons and war tactics, and now her greatest legacy would be one of peace and progress. (Arcturus Station) A muscular figure cut through the corridors of the rebuilt station, now only a few years old. It looked much like the original but was larger and far better defended. It was once again a shining hub for humanity and its colonisation of the stars. A man who fought the collectors and the reapers, surviving on both counts. Major James Vega was the man walking through the corridors, he headed past the human parliamentary chambers only glancing at the huge doors which closed them off from the rest of the station. He headed toward his chambers and opened the door. He headed inside and found it quiet. He knew though that someone was there, that someone being a Spectre, Major Ashley Williams. She was in the shower, which James could hear running. He headed to the wardrobe to remove his military uniform. He had grown accustomed to it in recent years as he was now a decorated soldier respected by many. His stories filtered through to the younger cadets. Some were but mere youngsters during the reaper war and now they were adults, whilst others were grizzled veterans, who fought tooth and nail to beat the reapers. All these soldiers were looking to protect the new found galactic way of life. The station housed cadets of many species, Turian, Krogan, Asari, Drell, Quarian, even a Hanar or two. It was something which mesmerised them, they knew he worked with Commander Shepard, fought beside him and helped win the war. He was currently in his casual outfit of a tight grey alliance shirt and combat trousers. He still kept himself in shape after all those years. He remained an able and capable fighter. He dimmed the lights a bit and opened the shutter which gave an amazing backdrop of the stars. Behind him lay messy bed just begging to be fucked on. Once James had turned away from the window, Major Williams walked out of the shower drying her hair but still not covering up. "Hey there skipper," rolled seductively off her tongue. "Hey yourself chica," came the response from the Latino soldier. Mass Effect Fading Pain Ashley like James kept her fitness regimen at its peak to ensure, she still had a body to die for by anyone's standards. The way she walked over to the bed showed what her intentions were, it seems little could slow them down. James moved himself around and took a seat in a chair directly in front of the bed. He sat down and got comfortable. He watched, as Ashley sat down at the edge of the bed and slowly spread open her legs. She had a cleanly shaven pussy, which was something she always had most of her adult life. She traced the tips of her fingers the length of her thighs upward to the soft tender flesh around her pussy. Ashley teased herself by lightly touching the outside of her pussy. She played with herself some more, as she placed two fingers around the folds of her pussy massaging softly. She then took the index finger of her free hand and ran it slowly and gently up and down the opening of her pussy. She moaned very softly at her actions she could not believe how good it felt each time she or James had done this to her pussy. She then leaned back a bit and used her hand to steady herself as she then used her other hand to play with her pussy, a little more vigorously. She could feel she was wet as she became more engrossed in what she was doing, but did not take her eyes of James as she sat in his chair and looked on with intent. Her playing and teasing was having an effect. James then stood up and walked over to her, he tossed his shirt to the ground and walked toward Ashley, whilst he unzipped his pants. Ashley looked on with intent as his cock was standing at attention. She ushered him forward as her hands soon came to rest on his cock and balls respectively. She stroked, fondled, and caressed what was in front of her before running her tongue along the length of his cock preparing him what she would do next. His cock was thick and long and it filled Ashley's mouth up and she wanted nothing less than a complete face fucking. This is what she got as his cock slid into her mouth with an increasing momentum. Ashley's movements were something else, James never ceased to be amazed by what she was capable of doing. He wondered in earlier years what she was like before the Normandy crew found her. That all did not matter as from that night aboard the Normandy, with her and that bottle was a found and memorable introduction to the woman known as Ashley Madeline Williams. The Spectre agent continued to suck the Major's cock, her movements were complimenting James' thrusting. She was enjoying it and so was her man. James soon brought himself to a stop as his cock exited her mouth and soon Ashley was crawling on the bed on all fours wanting that Latino cock inside her other orifices. James obliged her and provided her with what she wanted. She then cooed, softly at first, as James put the tip of his cock inside her pussy. She begged for more, and more went inside her. She felt it enter and exit her pussy, and she could only make lustful noises, there was no coherent speech coming from her mouth. This simply continued as James began to thrust with a little more force, Ashley began to enjoy it even more, she wanted his balls slapping against her pussy and that is exactly what she got. Ashley, howled and thrust herself backwards as James thrust forwards. Now with James' cock lubed up Ashley, wanted it in her ass, and she slowly guided inside her asshole. After she had rolled over and had James on his back she lowered herself. She slipped in the tip at first and gasped at its girth as it widened her asshole. It was not something she did often, but she loved it every time that she did. Her asshole widened to accommodate the phallic member now inside of it. Ashley, slide herself up and down slowly, getting used to the size once more. Then she began to increase the tempo. She loved to ride his cock and with it in her ass, she enjoyed it even more so. The pair of them had incredible stamina more than a decade ago, and little had changed. Their military regimen and gene mods, meant they both continued to be unstoppable fuck machines. James was looking up at an impressive sight, his woman riding him like a bucking bronco. She looked amazing as the dim light illuminated the features of her face and the curve of her body. She held her hands in her hair and ran her fingers through it as she continued to enjoy James' cock up her ass. She continued, she was moaning and loving it all. She wanted his cock in her mouth and she wanted to taste her asshole. She reached back and planted her hands on the bed, getting a firm footing. She then lifted her body off James and thrust it upwards. It was a yoga position she would use, she was contorted, and her feet were planted on the bed, as were her hands. Her pussy was in the air. And she had her neck flexing so that her mouth was over James' cock, and he made a little easier for her by thrusting upwards, in such a way her mouth had James' cock inside it. She continued to suck away as James got himself into and upright seated position and was getting to work on Ashley's pussy with his tongue and fingers. Ashley was soon coming, and James could see how her body was trembling and she was cumming as he witnessed her pussy squirting. All the while Ashley remained fixated in getting James to cum for her. James was being driven insane by sensations Ashley was giving him, the way she moved her tongue around his cock. He too felt a release was imminent. It arrived and Ashley swallowed it all, not a drop went anywhere but the inside of her mouth. She was amazing, and arched like she was, it was an unforgettable sight. Once Ashley was done she then lowered herself down and the pair untangled from each other. Ash rolled onto her back and looked up, catching her breath. James had gotten off the bed and was catching his as well. Then he moved forward of the bed and began to walk up to the bathroom. Once done, he put on his combat trousers and grey alliance shirt. He walked over to the viewing port and looked outside, a view of stars dominated everything. Meanwhile Ash still lay on the bed, naked and enjoying every moment of what had just happened. James thoughts turned, as they did from time to time, to his past, what happened with his father, on Fehl Prime, how he met the commander, and the Reaper war. He always knew things could have gone so differently, however, he knew what the commander would say, what his old CO Captain Toni would have said. Once that played through his mind he knew he would be content. (Earth, London) Jeff Moreau, otherwise known as Joker, lived an unassuming life in the heart of rebuilt London, he remained an advisor in the military. Joker, found it a bit funny, considering what he did that got him flying the Normandy in the first place and now he was training pilots as well. There were many new aircrafts and ships which aimed to do the task of defending the new galaxy. He was content, and had something to keep his mind of EDI. Jeff still limped a little, his brittle bones still making him cautious. Jeff, never figured he would be doing what he was, but considering how few survivors there were left from fighting the Reapers, they needed everyone they could get. He worked alongside Admiral Coats, and not to mention Steve Cortez. These were just some of the names of former veterans now training the next generation. Due to London's significance it became the place the Alliance used to train its fighter, shuttle, and warship pilots. It was also, like Arcturus, open to the galaxy. Earth was now a multi species planet, much many of the other home worlds had become, even Rannoch. The alien populations on all those worlds were not great, likely a couple thousand within majority of the large cities. Species trusted one another now, more than they did before. Jeff sat in a chair overlooking the training facility and reviewing subjects test scores. This time he had been given a good batch. Although he would never admit to himself that they were are as good as him. Majority probably were not but, he could see a few driven by passion and having the urge to prove others wrong much like he did, when he came through the military ranks. They called him a cripple and said he couldn't fly for shit. He proved all of them wrong. A knock on the door, interrupted his thoughts. "Come in," said Joker. In came a woman, tall, Nordic, in her features he saw a little of EDI. He mostly thought it was just him seeing that. She was a confident woman keen and eager to please him. Another irony, all he had to do to get women to notice him, was to fight in a big war which decided the fate of the galaxy. "Sir, how are you this morning, here are the files on the recruits you requested." "Thank you, Erin," Joker replied. Erin then placed an osd on the table. The table's glass interface light up and the files joker requested were at his fingertips. "Will there be anything else sir?" Erin enquired. "No nothing at all, thank you Erin." She then turned and headed out the door, she was gorgeous young, and made him forget about his past. It was good, he still missed EDI, even though, he knew it was what she would have wanted. He knew, that she would not have hesitated to give her life to the Reapers. The first time he was close to her, she was a rogue VI on Luna, which Shepard dropped in to stop. Later she became what he knew, but it was when she had a body, a form which felt familiar, it was when the love became real. Joker, had grown close to EDI, and when she died he was devastated. It was something he came to deal with, when the Normandy made its return home after the Reaper defeat. Joker pondered this has he finished going through the files and making his assessments. He then turned to look out the window and surveying the sight in front of him. (Bekenstein) Garrus Vakarian sat back on a chair overlooking the view of the city in the distance. He was truly happy, although he never forgot about what he went through, now though all was well. His father was proud of him, knowing what his son helped achieve. Garrus, was now an uncle, his sister Solana, was now married and with a second child on the way. She had married another Turian, a fellow soldier, one Garrus checked into and was satisfied at who was marrying his sister. He felt glad about all he had he earned and the happiness he now felt. His wife Orianna, was glowing and the same genetics as her sister meant she did not look a day over 19 when he first saw, when he helped Shepard and Miranda rescue her from her father. Her job meant she worked long hours, but she enjoyed it and still had enough time to enjoy him, and the life they had built together. He would often sit there on that chair after completing his work for the day and await her sky car. He had done this for years and had no intention of stopping, he loved her and everyone knew it. He spotted it out in the distance, even without his visor, which he did not wear anymore. However, it was kept in a glass case in a safe as a prized possession, along with his armour, and his favourite Sniper Rifle. Orianna came home, Garrus, shared a kiss with her as she came home, as he always had done. It was routine, one that he would never get bored off. It was a great life, one that he had earned, at great cost. However, he held onto himself and made it out the end eventually. Orianna was dressed in a white outfit reminiscent of many a scientist. She didn't quite don the sultry black and white cat suit once favoured by her sister. However, Garrus favoured her out of that outfit. Orianna made her way up the stairs and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. Garrus, went to make some drinks for the both of them. He then took them upstairs. He entered the bathroom and sat them onto the table. He looked through the slightly misted but clear glass at the sight of his gorgeous wife naked and wet in front of him. Orianna pretended to not notice that he was there, but she knew it the moment he stepped into the room. The shower was still running when she stepped out and simply walked to the counter and began to enjoy her drink which Garrus had just handed her, they then clinked glasses and toasted each other. When the drinks were finished, Orianna looked Garrus, in the eye and said "Care to join me Mister Vakarian. "I'm right behind you," was his reply. The large accommodating shower was spacious enough for both of them. Garrus, soaped her up upon her request. The water cascaded down on both of them. The lights in the bathroom beamed down, as the two lovers intertwined. Their physiologies, alien to one another, but connected through time, space, and a series of incredible events. A simple kiss was then shared between the two lovers. They were like a couple of horny teenagers, but there something in their love. Something, which cannot be forgotten and or ignored. Both of them felt it, like they were feeling each other, with a combination of water, soap and intangible lust. They kissed more, felt more, as the water continued to fall. Soon Orianna found herself bending over, down as if she was in a yoga session. Her downward facing dog was mightily impressive. Garrus, needed no further hints. It seemed lust needed no translation across the species. Their lust for each other, clearly showed to be a trait embedded in all sapient species. Garrus' cock moved slowly but with purpose as the tip just entered into her vagina. It went in and Orianna moaned approval, and urged him to go deeper. It always felt like the first time for her, even though they had since lost count of how many times they had done it. The tempo began to build as Garrus thrust forward and Orianna pushed back to meet him half way. It made for more impactful love making, the two sapient beings slapped together, splashing water with each thrust and their moans echoing of the shower's glass doors and walls. They cared about nothing else whilst they were lost in that moment. As Orianna revelled in Garrus' cock buried deep inside her vagina, Garrus enjoyed every second as he continued to thrust inside her. It provided pleasure for both of them, something which they felt thankful. All they had seen had brought them together amongst the chaos, death, and destruction they had both seen. It all had faded away the first time and every other time since then that they made love. The felt content, the horrors of the past were simply gone, non-existent. This was the cure, to what ailed them their entire lives. Although they both were long since cured, they wanted more of it. Orianna then brought herself to an upright position, but kept his cock inside her pussy. She stood upright as he continued to fuck her. The water splashed about as it fell in-between their bodies, Orianna voiced her approval at the top of her lungs. Their two bodies were one, moving in unison as they thrashed away, the water splashed on them and all around them. Garrus was merely grunting at this point as he gave all he had into Orianna, and she gave all that she had. This level of love and lust few have witnessed within the galaxy. The felt themselves coming toward release together. The fucked, they moved to the same tune and pushed and pushed. Orianna grabbed hold on the bars in the shower, as Garrus grabbed hold of her. Orianna trembled as he entire body began to shake, she was cumming. Garrus, felt the surge within him and knew he was to come. He pulled out while she cumming his load dripped all on the floor as Orianna was shooting out of her wet pussy. The steadied themselves, as the water continued to fall and they caught their breath. It was joy they felt and a lustful love most seemed convinced did not exist. They then got out and shut off the water. Garrus, took his time and gently dried of his wife with a towel taking it slowly and being very tender. When he was done Orianna did the same taking her time and care. The left the bathroom and proceeded to not get dressed. They found the bed and laid down upon it. The held each other, they were content. The closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep. (Shadow Broker Ship) Liara stood at the helm of her ship, it was new and different to what her predecessor had and was space worthy, and important thing which certainly helped. Liara was not married, and still without children. However, her work helped maintain the safety of many young children. A mother from the shadows, a protector. She was looking out a port at what she found, a distant quadrant of space, far from most populated areas. The relay she looked at was bigger. It looked like two relays joined together. Their rings rotating and interlinked together. No one knew where it would lead. Many a race knew that sending a probe through would be pointless. It would lose contact and a sapient being would be the only solution. Liara, knew of the Rachni, and what other horrors they may bring. There was just too many unknowns. The sized indicated to her that it may be more powerful, able to send a ship a greater distance. Perhaps to another galaxy. However, what would they find? Liara came across a human saying about the universe it said "Not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think." It was not lost on Liara that humans would apply that to her, as she was at first as strange to them as they were to her. Liara knew all too well about the human-turian war. She was a simple archaeologist looking for the remains of a long gone race. The revelation of the reapers and the subsequent war changed everything, disintegrating old and bitter hatreds, and forming new alliances. This was Shepard and his legacy, there was so much he did. He would not boast, or let it fuel an ego. He would maintain his modesty and that he played a part. Liara snapped out of her trail of thought when her communicator signalled. She brought it up on her screen. It was Shepard and Miranda. "Liara good to see you again." "Thank you for contacting me, the both of you." "You piqued our interest Liara," Miranda replied. "Well, I could show what I have found but I would rather you see it for yourself." "Well, it is why we called, we would like to come see it." "I will make the arrangements, and feel free to bring along a few friends." "That we will do, Liara." The call then ended. Shepard began to contact others, his friends, his comrades, and his family. Shepard called his mother, she was still there, still proud of what her son did, and he took the impossible and did it. A while later they appeared, all of them. All had joy now. James and Ashley were married and happy. Garrus and Orianna were as well. Jacob and Brynn arrived as well their son was almost a teenager, and Jacob remained true to his word and proved to be a better father and his ever was. His father was gone, having died in a jail cell and disappeared from his mind and from the galaxy. Zaeed Massani was still going strong and was living it up everywhere he went. He went through women like nobody's business but Jessie was still his true love. Samara was still around, her daughter was safe, living in peace and away from the galaxy. She never gave in to the advances of Mr Massani but she did feel a bit intrigued. Both of them were old warriors moulded by the fires of combat. Jack came with Kaylee to the ship. Shepard had also extended an invitation to Kolyat, however he had to decline. His wife was pregnant with their second child. Kolyat had since become a diplomat and was earning an honest living. However, now his family always came first. Kolyat had all he wanted in life and a recent breakthrough meant that Kepral's syndrome was now a thing of the past. It had been cured. Mass Effect Fading Pain Wrex and Grunt were there as was Bakara. They had lead the Krogan species to a new era of prosperity. Tuchanka was no longer a toxic wasteland. It was now a bustling planet and the population remained well in check. Now Wrex was the proud father of four children, two boys and two girls. Shepard still awaited Tali's arrival, he had also hoped for Kasumi to join him, but he could not find her. Traynor, Ken, and Gabby, were on their own an alliance mission had them in a distant quadrant of space. Shepard's long time doctor had died a few years back and was laid to rest among the stars, her ashes float among the cosmos, and it remained her last request. Tali's ship had arrived, she left her guard behind as they wanted her safe. She could not have felt as safe as she did with her crew. Officially she was Tali'Zorah Vas Rannoch, but in her heart she would always be Vas Normandy. The door opened and she stepped inside. Everyone was shocked by what they saw, her dark hair was long and flowing down her body. Her face was visible, her cat like eyes. They also saw for the first time her skin tone, it was light, almost human but a second glance with always ensure that she was alien. Most on board that ship had never seen the face of a quarian. The news of the cure had not become widely public, but they would soon enough know that it had happened. All the crew approached her, happy knowing what the quarian people had achieved. Tali made certain to note that none of it would be possible without the Geth. Tali also noted now on Rannoch there was a statue dedicated to Legion. It was his form, a life like recreation, of exactly how he was when Shepard first saw him on that reaper vessel. Shepard embraced her and congratulated her, as did everybody else. It was a joyous moment. All the years of work and now they had finally done it. Her homeland, was now not a myth or a distant dream. She was born never having seen it, and now she would spend her life there content and helping her people become more and better for their own sakes and for the rest of the galaxy. Everyone had arrived, Liara stood up to speak to everybody, it was strange for so long they had all known each other, but this was the first time that she would be speaking to all of them at once. "Hello," Liara began in her characteristic tone of voice. "There is a reason I called you all here today," she continued "We found something, well he found it." It was at that point that Javik appeared, some knew him, and some did not. He was actually meeting most for the first time, Miranda, Wrex, and Grunt to name a few. "Our distant scanners found this, Javik spoke as he showed the images on a holo projector, "It looks like a relay, however there are two separate sections visible, which is different, and before you ask, no my people did not build it." "Furthermore, there rotating and interconnecting rings are connected between the two relays." "We at present have no clue where it leads," Liara interjected "however, we are certain it was not built by the reapers, as they crucible activation did not damage it at all." "What do you want to do?" Shepard asked as he stood up. "Well, that is the reason for request for all of you to visit, this is not a decision, for Javik and I to make, but all in this room." "Do you think we should destroy it Commander?" Javik enquired. "How far are we from the nearest star system?" Shepard asked as past memories simmered somewhat to the surface. "No planets or systems within the vicinity. We are as far to the edge of the galaxy as possible. This relay's destruction will harm no one." Liara responded knowing full well why Shepard asked that question. "Do we then destroy it?" Shepard asked, directing the question around the room. "Yes," Javik responded. Yes came from Liara, Miranda, and Jack. All around they agreed, all had seen their fair share of battle. Liara's machines, had learnt all they could form it and thus did not need it intact. "Then it is done, Liara, you know what to do." "It would be an honour Shepard." Liara charted a course for her ship. Which was hauling large rocks all along which all did notice on their way in. Shepard knew what opening these relays could have done, as it was not part of the network it made it an easier decision. A day later all would be in place, Liara's ship and all others would be in place ready to leave, go to FTL and leaved behind this secret, all felt it best to bury it. Shepard sat in his cabin, for the first time since the war there was a little sadness. It was something that silently haunted him, he tried his best to subdue it. When we was with Miranda she helped him forget, but when he was alone it crept up from time to time. Now he saw his chance to get closure and once and for all be at peace. Shepard contemplated this as he sat on the bed in his cabin aboard his ship. He was by himself and within his thoughts as heard the sound of the shower going as Miranda was within, the greatest solace in his life after all that had happened, all the people he had loved. It seemed impossible when he looked back on his life, his mother called it inspirational and wonderful that he dreamt of saving the galaxy as a child and did so when he grew up. Shepard walked up to a console and activated it, the shield retracted and the relay came within view. He knew people could learn much from the relay but knew what havoc it could wreak. However, he decided not opening this chest was a wise decision. He knew he had seen enough for one lifetime, however while his curiosity may have waned over the years, others would have theirs burning bright. All of which could spell disaster if the wrong individuals found this relay. Shepard turned away and closed the shield once more, he then walked to the bathroom and stepped inside. Then his beautiful wife, Miranda stood there in the shower naked with hot water and steam cascading around her, she was a vision of beauty if he had ever seen one. All these years they had known each other and Shepard still remained as in love, if not more than he had ever been. The next day, all were prepared. The relay would be destroyed and with it, the dangers it may pose. Liara spoke to all, on their respective ships. Then the countdown began. The rock that would do the deed was about to be jettisoned. The countdown reached zero. The enormous space rock made its way to the relay. Then with its trajectory assured, all the ships jumped to FTL to the nearest system with a relay. The rock, without spectators, hurtled toward the relay and made contact. The rings of the relay were ripped from their moorings and the relay exploded. It was a massive explosion in which engulfed the relay and incinerated it completely. However, no one perished as this was a distant quadrant of space and there were no systems close enough to be affected. It proved to be a closing chapter in Shepard's life, a final closure and the pain of the past fully faded away. When the confirmation reached his ship that the relay had been destroyed, he let out a sigh of relief. He felt closure, and finally could forgive himself for the choice he was forced to make all those years ago. The souls whom perished would not be brought back by this deed but now, with the galaxy at peace, their sacrifice was not vain. However, with this relay being destroyed there is finally some closure for Shepard personal. He looked forward to the future even more than he did the past fourteen years of freedom. Shepard and Miranda both felt more awake than they had ever done. It was as though the reapers defeat woke them from their slumber, and this event got them out of their beds. (Three weeks later) Everyone, near and dear to Shepard were present. They all were present in the citadel apartment where they had an amazing party all those years ago. Time had come and gone however, people didn't really age much, modern technology certainly made sure of that. All were formally dressed, even Jack. It represented how some had mellowed with age whilst others still had to refrain from head butting one another. Shepard was wearing his tailored suit which fitted ideally, and showed how he had taken good care of himself since resigning himself to a more quiet existence. He was mingling with everybody downstairs but waiting for Miranda upstairs, she was still getting ready and taking her time. Shepard heard the distinctive sound of her high heeled footsteps on the staircase as he turned to face Miranda coming down the stairs. He first saw her strappy black high heel shoes, which was the source of the sound he was hearing. He then saw the colour of her dress, a dark blue, which was almost floor length. She walked down and he saw the strips of tiny crystals, glimmering in the light as they were lined down the front of her dress. He saw the slit in the dress, on her left hand side which ran up past her waist and ended mid-way up her torso. She continued further down the stairs then the silver adornments atop the dress came into view. They contained her sizeable breasts in the strapless gown. Her hair too was elaborately tied up and looking like the centrepiece to her entire ensemble. Everyone fell silent in the room, all eyes were fixated on Miranda as she joined the crowd John eventually broke the silence with a word, "Wow." Miranda flashed a winning smile and drew him in for a deep passionate kiss whilst everybody looked on. Miranda eventually turned to everyone and urged them to have a good time. The music continued courtesy of Glyph who decided to join the party. Glyph was still in the form he always was, albeit with the bow-tie, similar to the last party they had in that apartment, before it was destroyed and rebuilt. Soon enough everyone was dancing Shepard stood looking at his wife as she moved as seductively as ever and it felt as though none were present but the two of them. Her body gyrated and moved in tune with the music and with the curves of her body. It was a sight to behold, and Shepard decided then to do some holding of his own, the physical kind. His touch was soft, barely felt, but it was pure electricity from Shepard, biotics from Miranda, or probably both. They held each other like veteran lovers would, tenderly and passionately. Their love would fuel their lust. The music continued to pulse through everything in its path. Everybody danced with abandon, as if they had just defeated the reapers all over again. The drinks continued to flow and the party went on well into the early hours of the next day cycle on the citadel. Shepard and Miranda had soon found themselves in their bedroom, seemingly alone, the door was open and they did not care. Shepard looked into Miranda's eyes as she looked into his. He nodded his head to tell Miranda she would be leading him. Miranda then gestured Shepard, to remove his clothes. He did so, slowly as his jacket hit the floor and his pants soon followed. Miranda motioned him to the bed. He sat on the bed and left space for his cock to be presented to Miranda. Miranda moved toward him and put her right foot to rest at the edge of the bed. Shepard knew what that meant, he then gently undid the shoe and removed it from her foot. Miranda then presented her left leg which was exposed all the way to her waist due to the slit in the dress. Shepard took his time to caress it and moved the dress aside to grab a quick peek at his prize, Miranda's pussy. It was easily accessible due to her lack of underwear. Now with her shoes off she proceeded to untie her hair clips and let loose her now considerably longer hair. Miranda undid the zip on her right hand side and let the dress simply fall away from her body and onto the floor. Shepard looked up slowly admiring every bit of his naked wife now stood in front of him. Miranda handed over the baton so to speak back to Shepard, he promptly grabbed her and rolled onto the bed until she was back on top. Miranda lifted herself up and turned around offering her pussy to Shepard's salivating mouth. Shepard began to work his tongue in ways Miranda still could not believe. Whilst Miranda tenderly went to work on his cock caressing it gently into rigid life as it stood tall waiting for her tongue. Miranda started with the tip swirling her tongue around it as Shepard continued to lick her pussy and make her even wetter before. Miranda began to take his girth all the way into her mouth. She bobbed her head up and down and slowly licked and worked her tongue while gently gripping his balls as she sucked tenderly and lovingly. The pair remained entangled with one another as their lust fuelled them both. Miranda then lifted up her head from Shepard's now well lubricated cock. As she did this, Shepard brought her to orgasm. She howled as she let the orgasm surge through her body. Her pussy was tender, wet, and yearning for cock. Shepard was certainly not going to deny her what she was after. Miranda gently lifter herself up and moved downward to Shepard's throbbing shaft. Miranda then lifted herself up and then slid down slowly. She cooed softly when she slid his manhood all the way inside her pussy. Miranda began to ride, moving up and down and gyrating in between. John loved when Miranda did this, his mind was filled with adrenaline. As he took in the image of his wife facing away from him as she rode him and vocalised her approval. She fucked away wanting more and more soon, and as if on cue, she had her second orgasm of the night. She screamed once more, loud in her lust. Miranda continued to fuck whilst her orgasm subsided, Shepard was holding his own and wanting more and more from her. This was something she was more than willing to give. Miranda continued to fuck, testing both their strength. Then lifted herself up and turned around. She then slide Shepard's cock this time into her asshole while she fingered her pussy furiously. Miranda let Shepard's cock fill up her asshole and it was something she loved to do, she would have his cock in all her holes but she loved it most in her ass. Miranda's furious masturbation, with a cock in her ass, soon put her over the edge and she then brought herself to another orgasm. Her eyes then locked on to Shepard and then her biotics began to flare up and then engulf her naked body. Her body tingled as did Shepard behind her due to his cock buried inside her asshole. Their fucking turned into something amazing and unbelievable. Miranda's biotic light show continued as that mixed with a meaty cock in her asshole meant the experience was heightened beyond belief. Once Miranda's third orgasm had subsided so too did her biotics, but her pace did not slow. She wanted more and more and would get more and more. Miranda then lifted herself off of Shepard and got to her feet, she was feeling strong and it seemed Shepard did too as he was already up and guiding her hands to the nearest wall and she placed the palms of her hands firmly against the wall and then pushed out her ass and placed her feet firmly on the ground. Shepard moved in behind and grasped his cock as he then proceeded to guide it back into her soaking wet pussy. He put it in and began to thrust with an ever building momentum. He fucked, she moaned and they continued their deep connection with the walls echoing their lustful activities. If the walls could talk, they would be left speechless at the scene which was unfolding in that bedroom. Shepard's thrusts were rapid and powerful which Miranda loved as it caused her to roll her eyes in pure unadulterated lust which was something that she looked forward to when they stepped into that bedroom from the party downstairs, which was still going but it was not something that either of them paid any attention to considering their current activities. Shepard's hand grasped firmly around her waist as he steadied himself for each rapid thrust. Shepard was engulfed in what he was doing. Their fucking had gone on for quite some time, but the pair were nearing their ultimate climax. Shepard then pulled out and gesture to Miranda to turn around. Shepard then moved to up against the wall and moved his cock into position then penetrated her and began to fuck quickly. Miranda was moaning as no coherent speech was coming out of her mouth. She gave it her all. Shepard was furious in his fucking, he wanted to cum inside her. Shepard continued, and eventually he picked her up. Miranda wrapped her hands around his neck, as he held a firm grasp on her ass while her legs were wrapped around his torso. It soon proved too much to hold in and Shepard splattered his cum deep inside his wife. All the while his eyes were intently fixed upon hers. He fucked her a bit more and eventually, gently set her down they were drenched in sweat and catching their breath as the stood both glowing from what they had just done. Shepard's cum still dripped from his cock and Miranda's pussy. The both smiled at what they saw looking down at their love juices. Then they began to hear the music once again, even though it had never stopped. Then it did and they could hear applause. Everybody downstairs knew precisely what they had been doing. So they walked out and headed toward the area next to the stairs which overlooked the downstairs of the apartment. They didn't care to put clothes on as they just walked out. The applause continued as Shepard's entire crew was looking upon him and Miranda completely naked and exposed. It was something some wondered, and some had seen before. Shepard looked down on every one and simply asked, "Enjoy the show?" "We heard it loud and clear, Shepard," Garrus spoke from below. "You are quite the loud fuck there princess," Jack began, "and those tits are really fantastic." "Thank you, Jack," Miranda responded with true sincerity along with Jack. "Hell Shepard you're almost as Krogan as me," Wrex retorted with a chuckle. Ashley and Liara remained speechless as neither would do what Miranda and Shepard were doing, standing there naked. James began to notice that Ashley was looking at Miranda in a peculiar manner. He had no need to ask her, as she had already seen Miranda in all her glory. Shepard and Miranda made their way down, the party was still pumping even though the time was absurd, and they were still naked. They partied further on, with no one caring what was happening outside that apartment. The party continued, as did the drinks, bodies once again intertwined. Soon enough it turned into an orgy of naked flesh. As Ashley, Jack, and even Liara, shed their inhibitions and clothes surprisingly quicker than they thought they would. The party continued with the drinks flowing, music blaring, and eventually everybody fucking like wild animals. The morning came and Miranda and John found themselves in their bed, with the scent of sex from their repeated fucking from the night before. Everyone was scattered around recovering from the night before, everyone was either still asleep or half awake. Miranda and John woke up together, and John turned to his wife who had slept in his arms and said, "Thank you." "For What?" Miranda tentatively enquired. "For causing all the pain, and the hurt inside of me to fade away." "It was my honour and greatest pleasure, as you did the same for me. You were there for me because you wanted to be. The courage you gave was invaluable, it probably kept me alive. So it would seem we are thankful for each other." "Well thank you, and I will never stop being there for you, I love you." "I love you too John." The two then just laid there basking in their love not saying a word as their silence spoke volumes. They shared a love which was so real it could not be imagined, and no story of love could come close to their love for one another. All the pain and horror of their collective pasts had now finally been washed away, out of their lives. Their pain had faded.
