Summary
Falling in love with Cortez in the middle of a galaxy-ending war is a terrible idea, but Shepard can't help himself.
So Shepard and Cortez navigate building a relationship between breaking Alliance regulations, loss and chaos piling up around them and Shepard's reluctance to truly let someone in.
And as the final battle approaches, they both have to decide how to deal with all the possible outcomes, what to promise each other and what to better leave unsaid.--------
Set during ME3. Updates every Sunday. (I hope.)
There are too few MShep/Steve fics out there and they deserve some love, so this is me trying to do that.Series

Summary

And if you can ever get it back.
The twists and turns of ME2, through the eyes of everyone but Commander Shepard.

This is a rewrite of Mass Effect 2. In my first fic, Veni, I introduced several new original characters and put a twist on multiple storylines. Reading Veni first isn't necessary per se, but I do still reccomend it to provide background context (and give me time to pump out more chapters haha). I have done my best to put my own spin on things, expanding minor characters and plot lines.

Summary
When I first began writing The Null Room, I found myself writing part of the rough draft of the last chapter of THIS fic a few weeks later. In a way, The War Room was written so I could eventually bring you this post-ME3 story, which will hopefully get to the "real end" for Eliza Shepard.
ObDisclaimer: the story will make a LOT more sense if you've read the series. it begins a few days after As Yet Unwritten The VIP Corridor ends (what happened on the Citadel during the last bit of Mass Effect 3/The War Room). plan is to update the timeline (Background/Extra Information from The Retrofit) sporadically.
ObShamelessPlug: every kudo, comment, and click gives me a tiny bit of floon to keep going. if you loved any part of the series, and want to kick me into writing faster, leaving feedback is the way to go.
