liara expressing love for malena like an archaeologist makes me feel like I need to lie down for an eternity. saving her tags, recovering her body before it can be sold off (let alone to the collectors), displaying part of her old armor in her apartment. ough

#i've prob started me3 by the time this leaves my queue but saving LOTSB for post-suicide mission to recover their friendship hit so hard #the last thing they said to each other before it was the 'don't become what you're hunting' 'says the one working for cerberus' exchange #and then mal comes back from the impossible to help her old friend and sees the way she's lingered like a ghost. a relic. a memory #dani plays me #game: mass effect #oc: malena shepard #ch: liara t'soni

put  😈 💭  in  my  ask  and  my  muse  will  admit  one  dirty  thought  they’ve  had  about  yours. / liara if applicable! (we started i think two threads for them when wren was over at my multi, though neither have been moved yet to this blog, so if you need refreshers, they'd be over there)

dirty thought meme, always accepting .

IT'S THE BOND THEY DEVELOPED : whether they want to call it a relationship or a friendship is still in the air -- but they promised each other honesty. no secrets. no lies. whatever shepard's feeling is on the table, whatever liara's feeling is also on the table. this mostly went for all the conversations they've ever had about shepard's revival and liara's apology for a bit of selfishness -- but she supposes it works for everything. especially since liara looked at shepard once and was simply about to leave because she felt a flush of arousal.

Some Kind of Beautiful, Ch. 1

Wanted to play around more with my Vanguard femshep, Maxine, and her relationship with Liara :)

Also on AO3!

Ch. 1 Therum

In time her memories of Therum would coalesce into snapshots of a life about to divide firmly into a Before and an After. Dusty, hot, with craggy rock unstable around the crumbling ruins of a race she'd dedicated so much of her time to studying and there would be notes, points of reference to things uncovered, learned, compared later, so much later, with the reality of a perspective she never thought she'd see. Tangible things, cataloged and recorded, a testament to who she'd been, who she wasn't anymore, to a young Asari on the cusp of change greater than anything she'd've dared imagine, once. 

It would take time, this change, something slow and gradual, picking away at her layers to find the core of potential underneath. Quiet and shy, a touch reserved, more than a little awkward, and she'd smile many years later, remembering that embarrassment, of being caught in an ancient stasis trap, suspended in the air when the unlikeliest of rescuers would stumble upon her. 

A figure in black armor, face largely hidden behind a helmet, and the first thing Liara T'Soni would see of this catalyst, this force of nature, was a pair of steady hazel eyes.

----

"How are you feeling?"

The whir of the door her first warning, but she still felt her heart in her throat as she turned to face the Commander. Shepard was out of her black armor, clad in the same sort of heavy duty pants and blue shirt as most of the other human crew she'd seen so far since coming aboard this ship. Dark brown hair just barely brushed against the woman's shoulders, parted to the side and tucked behind her ears, and Liara was struck once more by how…short, the Commander actually was. 

Not the shortest human adult she'd ever seen, and she knew the woman likely hit around average height for her species, but after seeing her in action back on Therum, aglow with biotics and wielding a shotgun against the Krogan mercenary and his Geth cronies, it came as a bit of a shock to see her dressed down. She'd seemed larger than life, on the field. Here on her ship, leaning a hip against the doorframe with a mug in one hand, she was… more notably human. Striking, still, but in another way, tying up Liara's tongue and leaving her tripping over her words in a completely different fashion. 

She was privately grateful that Asari did not have the same misfortune as some humans who wore their flushes so openly on their cheeks. 

"I am well, Commander," she began, belatedly realizing she'd been keeping the other woman waiting. She must think I'm completely dense. Socializing had never been Liara's strong suit, something that took more consideration than most would need, and her lack of experience with humans made her all the more cognizant of her shortcomings in this arena. Data she could understand; text and numbers and collating information, losing herself in the cadences of history, weaving together theories of maybe's and what if's. So much easier to make educated guesses about the past, about people long gone save for the echoes left behind, than to try and grasp the nuances of small talk, of social niceties that reminded her too much of her childhood and the politics that had inundated so many of those earliest years. Double-speak and clever words, mysteries Liara had little patience for despite her own private fascination, but it had been hard, then, to not feel like another piece on the board. 

The distant past had its own pieces, and did not demand she play the same games safe on the other side of history.

"Dr. Chakwas able to help you out?" 

The Commander was still in the doorway, and ordinarily such a position would have added to Liara's nervousness. But there was nothing in the other woman's body language to suggest she was there to make demands, to bully answers out of the Asari as Liara had half expected after learning of her mother's involvement with a rogue Spectre. Her tone, her casual lean, the easy motions as she took a sip from her mug -- Liara rather thought she really did care, in her own way, about how her new guest was feeling. 

"Yes," she replied. Felt herself smiling a little. "I was impressed with how much she understands Asari biology."

Shepard smiled back, and Liara felt her cheeks grow warmer. 

"She's the best," the Commander said, an obvious note of pride in her voice. "Gotta be, to keep the rest of us knuckleheads in one piece." She flashed Liara a wink, and Liara swallowed hard. 

"You do make rather explosive decisions," she ventured. The tease felt unfamiliar on her lips, her boldness a wavering thing, but Shepard's grin only widened. 

"I prefer 'creative problem solving,' but sometimes it ends up making a bigger boom than intended. But! We did get out of there."

Liara found herself chuckling. There was just something so… charming, about the manner in which Shepard spoke. Understated, in a way, setting Liara more and more at ease. An unusual circumstance in and of itself, seeing as she'd spent the past few hours feeling very much out of place and on edge with worry, lost amid unfamiliar faces whose motives and obligations she could not begin to piece together. A strange juxtaposition, she thought, to be in this moment and feel almost normal when factors beyond it were decidedly not. 

At least, Liara suspected this must be the case: there were few enough other explanations for how she came to be here, feeling like a fumbling apprentice, attention so easily distracted to the powerhouse of a human before her. And Shepard was a powerhouse -- Liara wasn't sure which of them had been more surprised when she'd hauled off and punched that Krogan mercenary, Liara herself or the merc -- but standing there as she was now one might never have guessed it. 

"I did want to thank you again for that, Commander," Liara said. "Regardless of the resulting boom."

Shepard laughed, one hand moving up to rub at the back of her neck. The smile she flashed at Liara now was a touch more sheepish, and Liara's thoughts momentarily wandered to what other sorts of smiles this woman was capable of and if she'd get to see more of them. Future uncertain in a more immediate sense than Liara typically liked, but so far Shepard seemed unlikely to kick her off the ship any time soon. 

"I am sorry about that," Shepard was saying, drawing Liara's attention back. "If there had been time to find a way to not, you know, destroy a Prothean dig site…"

"It was unfortunate, but hardly your fault, Commander," Liara reassured. "You didn't order the Geth there to try and obtain me."

"I mean I'm good blaming Saren for it," Shepard agreed with a shrug, leaning back against the doorway. She cocked her head. "And about that -- let me know when you feel up to discussing the…situation. I hate to put pressure on you, but we're in the dark here."

"I understand." Liara sighed, fighting the urge to fidget. "But I did mean what I said before -- I've no idea what Benezia would be doing with Saren, or why, or what it has to do with Reapers. You…mentioned a beacon? A vision, imparted to you from a Prothean device?"

Shepard nodded slowly. "It…doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me," she admitted. There was a bleakness there, a tightening around the other woman's eyes, and Liara could only imagine what confusing, distressing images she may have had thrust unwillingly into her mind. Beacons were rare; even Liara had never encountered one in all her years studying their progenitors. 

"Liara?"

She blinked to see the Commander was eyeing her with some concern. 

"Kinda lost you in thought there," Shepard went on softly. "I should really let you rest."

"Oh -- I… Yes. But… perhaps come by later? I might have a way to help you parse through whatever information the Beacon gave you, if you're open to it."

Shepard cocked her head, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah?"

"Are you familiar with Asari mind-melding?"

"…uh."

Liara smiled a little. "Essentially it will allow me to see what you see -- what the Beacon showed you. Perhaps there is something there someone with my experience would better recognize."

Shepard blinked, but looked more curious than suspicious; Liara took this as a good sign. Mind-melding was difficult to explain to non-Asari, often wrapped up in mating rituals and thus conflated with other species' concepts of sexuality and desire. And it could play a role in these things, particularly if the goal was to have children, but it served other purposes as well. 

And Liara rather doubted delving deep into these particular visions was going to be very pleasurable for either of them. 

But she needed data -- something tangible, something she could work with. Not even a few hours on this ship and she was feeling restless, extraneous, caught up in something bigger and helpless without further information. 

And Shepard looked like maybe this was one burden she wouldn't mind sharing. 

"So it'd be like…giving you free access to my thoughts, my memories?" 

"Not exactly," Liara replied. "I would of course do my best to limit it to the vision itself; I've no desire to infringe on your privacy, Commander."

Shepard nodded thoughtfully, taking another sip from her mug. "I'll think about it," she said after a moment. "That's definitely an avenue worth more consideration -- when you've rested."

Liara felt herself smiling again, the knot of worry that had tried to tangle itself even tighter in her chest loosening a touch. 

"You know where to find me," she told her. "See you later, Shepard."

Once the Commander had taken her leave Liara did briefly consider retiring to the cot Dr. Chakwas had set up for her. But sleep was an elusive thing, all the more after her nap earlier, and her fingers strayed back to the console's haptic keyboard before long. Pulled up her files once more, quickly skimming the notes she'd already made and smiling a little at herself for how sparse they were. More data in audio logs she'd made and she'd transcribe them soon enough, but her thoughts were too flooded with other things to parse through her findings on Therum. 

It was funny, she thought, closing out of those files and pulling up a fresh one. New records, new notes, pertaining to theories and speculation for this newest mystery. All those months she'd spent studying those ruins, literal weeks spent analyzing samples from material composition to potential early writings, and it was her final day on Therum that stuck out above all others. 

The creak of an elevator, the fear that the Geth were coming back with a means to abscond with her once they'd wrenched her from her accidental prison. The appearance of three humans instead, one of them planting themselves front and center. The voice, a touch of rasp in it, feminine and throaty, asking if she was alright. 

A pair of hazel eyes, briefly glinting in amusement before the armored figure released the stasis field and caught her before she could tumble to the floor. 

Strong arms, steady, letting her lean as she got her bearings, and it wasn't the smooth metal of Prothean constructs her fingers remembered. It was the brush of armor, a little warm to the touch, giving way to ballistic weave, all these layers failing to hide the strength of the form beneath. It wasn't the echo of her own voice as she recording her thoughts that came to mind but the soft hint of laughter woven into the words, "Superior firepower" after the trio appeared on the other side of the barrier. It wasn't questions of purpose the ruins may have served that she found herself pondering now, but questions of the human who had saved her, body limned in biotic blue and not afraid to get up close and personal with their assailants. 

But Liara couldn't very well make notes that would ultimately sound like a diary, so she closed down the console altogether and settled on her cot, content, for now, to reflect in the safety of her own thoughts. 

----

"What're you writing?" 

Arms around her from behind and Liara leaned back into the embrace, tilting her head up to smile at the sleep-rumbled face above her. 

"Same project as before," she replied after receiving the kiss she'd been seeking. 

"Yeah?"

"I haven't gotten very far," she admitted. "Always seem to struggle with Therum."

"When we first met?" 

"Precisely because it's when we first met." She shifted in her seat, moving back from the desk enough to let her partner resettle in her lap. Arms around Maxine now, and she rested her chin on her shoulder. "You're every bit distracting in memory as you are in person, you know."

A chuckle, sweet and warm as honey, and Liara scrunched her nose as Maxine kissed it. 

"But it's a good distraction, right?" Voice pitched low and Liara hummed, chasing after her lips for another, deeper kiss.

"The best."

ok not 2 be liara critical but i think it was rlly weird of her when she first met jack in me3 to be like "if you're not nice to me i'm gonna withhold your birth name and only connection to your birth family you could have due to being kidnapped as a baby from your parents" esp since she was currently probably freaking the fuck out bc cerberus was raiding the academy she's working at rn where her kids are. like honestly really weird!

do  you  ever  think  about  how  pureblood  is  the  lowest  of  insults  in  the  asari  world.    like  it’s  comparable  to  maybe  street  rat  or  something  that  wholly  insinuates  that  liara’s  bloodline  is  insignificant  &   she’s  a  waste  of  space.    there’s  a  very  specific  reason  her  mother  &  father  separated  &  it’s  because  she  IS  a  pureblood.   the  asari’s  whole  thing  is  making  sure  to  have  children  with  other  species,  not  only  to  make  them  more  adept  but  because  having  pureblood children  CAN  be  dangerous.   see  ardat yakshi.   we  know  all  this,   it  was  explained  but  the  one  time  it  was  used  on  liara,  she  literally  just  brushes  it  off  her  shoulders.    like  nobody  cares  because  liara  is  one  of  the  most  powerful  asari  in  space,  so  much  so  that  asari  leadership  legitimately  use  her  as  counsel.

i’ll never stop defending liara’s feelings on thessia because she is always giving her condolences to her friends—and people she’s never met—when it comes to their home worlds, regardless of whether it’s reapers or cerberus. she mourns for earth. for eden prime. for palaven. yet she can’t mourn thessia or express the slightest bit of anger / fear towards banshees without being vilified. it’s fucking ridiculous.

Excerpt (Ch. 1):

“She thought she’d forgotten what it felt like, to have someone know the little things. Like how she squints when she drives because she thinks it’ll make her turns any smoother, or that she eats her cereal dry, or that she has to pull tangles from her hair in the shower because the knots from a day outside are too deep for conditioner to make a difference. But Liara knows. And what she doesn’t know, she'll damn sure find out.”

@the27percent​ :     What happens to anything beautiful?

the  citadel  sits  in  peace  now.   flowers  blooming,   sun  shining,   voices  murmuring  contentedly.   every  now  and  then  a  worried  voice  shatters  the  peace  like  something  solid  against  weak  glass.   this  location  really  does  look  like  thessia  and  her  own  peace  is  remembering  her  mother’s  quiet  voice,  a  heavy  book  in  her  hand,   flipping  pages  with  dirty  fingers,  digging  in  between  the  flowers  in  an  exploration  of  curiosity.   benezia  never  sounded  mad,   exactly,   just  a  mother  balancing  being  proud  and  trying  to  teach  liara  that  digging  in  flower  beds  isn’t  the  best  locations  for  archeology  curiosity.   it’s  a  cozy  little  thought.   a  thought  that’s  holding  hands  with  the  idea  that  something  beautiful  never  really  dies.   it  lives  on.   the  concept,   at  least.

until  something  like  the  reapers  tear  it  apart,   piece  by  piece.   only  it’s  memory  can  be  preserved.   they’re  coming  and  liara  is  doing  everything  in  her  power  to  either  prevent  it  or  find  some  way  to  preserve  the  memory.   what  is  beautiful  now  won’t  die.   they  have  the  prothean  knowledge  to  thank  for  that.   this  can’t  be  the  end.
