    Summary

    Not even legends live forever.

    Liara had known for months. Had known, in the way that a person who has loved someone for the entirety of a lifetime knows the shape of what is coming, that this was the end.

    Shepard knew it, and Liara knew it, and neither of them said it aloud because saying it aloud would make it real, and real was coming fast enough on its own.

    Summary

    "If anyone in the entire galaxy deserved to enjoy this victory, it was Shepard. And I know that she also deserves to finally have peace, but...for as long as I knew her, the only peace she ever wanted for herself was with you."

    Liara has spent the last eight months helping the galaxy to rebuild in the aftermath of the Reaper War, until a surprise visit from an old friend changes everything. It would appear that what Miranda can do once, she can certainly do twice, and the renewed promise of a life together brings Shepard and Liara closer to happiness than they have ever been before. But Shepard's return also draws the attention of a new enemy; one who will stop at nothing to see the heroes of the Normandy ground beneath the feet of those they worked so tirelessly to save. And as Commander Shepard knows all too well...there is no rest for the weary.

    Summary

    In a world where everyone had their soulmates' first words craved into their skin, they also knew that, despite some very unfortunate exceptions, everybody met their soulmate within their thirtieth year on Earth.
    So either Maria was one of those very painful oddities, or something wasn't quite right. Just to ease her mind, she wanted to check for anything S.H.I.E.L.D. had discovered about those bonds over the years. Out of curiosity and nothing more, that was what she told herself at least. Not because of something silly and naive like hope, nothing of the sort.
    But her usual luck led to a series of events that turned her entire world upside down, both because that was just her usual life nowadays, and also because, as Coulson and May put it, soulmates are supposed to shake up your entire life, Maria.
    Yeah well, maybe yes, but not like that.
    Not in the randomly-uncovered-an-old-conspiracy-while-looking-for-you kind of way.

    Or, Maria wants to prove she doesn't need her soulmate to be happy and ends up finding her along the way.
