Soā¦I had a dream after seeing this picture on Tumblr. I donāt usually remember my dreams, but damn, it was fucking emotional. So just imagine with meā¦share my painā¦
***
Garrus storms into the Med Bay where you, innocent, Y/n Shepard are out cold, being rushed to the Main Fleet on the Normandy after saving the universe. Now you were the last Shepardā¦
āKaidan! Whereās Y/n?!ā Garrus shouts, Kaidan is standing by your side. You were a member of the crew, a Lieutenant like Jamesā¦very close to everyone.
You had been there since the start. Supporting everyone, doing your best to help Shepard- your older brother- even going with him to Cerberus to stop the collectors when you found out he was alive. Even Jack and Javik liked you.
But things went badly on the final missionā¦
āGarrus, please-ā Kaidan tried to speak, tears in his eyes.
āNo!ā Garrus cut him off. āWhere is Shepard?! He has to be okay! Heās always okay!!!ā Garrus shouted viciously.
āWhat could I do, Garrus?! She ran after Shepard! I got cut off from them! What could I have done?!?ā Kaidan shouted back, truly wanting to knowā¦because he didnāt.
Both of them cared about you, more than they would admitā¦now maybe never being able to get the chance. It killed them inside.
āHe-ā¦heās not dead!ā Garrus stammered before walking up and grabbing Kaidan by the shirt. āY/n isnāt dying either! She wonāt-ā¦ā Garrus couldnāt even function to get words out at that point, going to a low-toned, but heavy, loud and guttural growl. He was too frustrated to think straight.
āY/n said so, Garrus! If I could have, I would have saved him. Shepard gave his life for the universe, we canāt-ā¦we canāt be selfishā¦Y/n just lost the last of her familyā¦ā Kaidan said grimly, his voice trailing off in hurt.
āSelfishā¦? You wanna know whatās selfishā¦? The fact that you didnāt protect Y/n like we promised to do! No matter who she picked!ā Garrus barked and Joker came walking in, hoping to check on you, EDI flying with autopilot.
He came just in time to jump between Garrus and Kaidan before they could lunge at each other, practically foaming at the mouths with rage.
āGuys! Youāre gonna wake her up and sheāll be pissed! Now shut.up! Y/n wouldnāt want this-ā Joker stopped talking when all three heard a small sob.
The room was silent enough for a pin to drop and echoā¦
They all looked to you. You lay on one of the metal tables, your hair a mess, pooled around your head, your armor was ruined, ash and blood smeared the right side of your face where you had hit the ground at one point. You held your right hand over your mouth, tears streaming from the corners of your eyes, staring up at the ceiling as you tried to muffle your own sobs of grief.
āY/nā¦?ā Kaidan asked.
You sniffled and gasped in pain when a hard sob came. āA-all of youā¦g-get outā¦ā You whispered coarsely, trying to find your voice.
āWhat?ā Garrus asked in shock.
You snapped. āI-I said: G-GET OUT!!!ā You screamed, your biotics causing loose objects- tools, pens, medicine bottles, papers- to go flying about the room.
They didnāt hesitate, knowing that if they stayed, they were dead, or worse, your wounds would get worseā¦
They left you alone in your griefā¦for nowā¦
***
My pain is horrible isnāt it? I had this dream a few weeks ago, suffering from the immense feels that I get from ME 3. I literally woke up that morning and wanted to apologize to those characters. FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!!! I criedā¦
It was not a good day after that ;-;
N7 Month Challenge 2023
Prompt List - @n7month
The moment I saw this theme name, I immediately thought of the tension parts of mass effect 2 where you have to break off arguments with several of the crew members or else you lose their trust & loyalty. The one with Legion and Tali stuck with me the most, so I wanted to portray that! This is also my first time drawing them both so. sweats. i didnt plan to put as much effort into this as i did but here we are <3
based on this screenshot :)
