    Summary

    Unidentified activity at the edge of the Sol system sends Commander Shepard and her ship through a supposedly dormant mass relay. Stranded on the other side, the lives of her crew rest in her hands; a single decision can bring salvation—or death.

    When Lieutenant Garrus Vakarian is ordered to investigate the crash site of an unknown craft, he becomes part of Shepard’s fate, and she becomes part of his. They believe they've made first contact, but a truth their peoples have hidden threatens to rock everything they know—and what they mean to each other.

    Summary

    [COMPLETE]

     

     

    A retelling.

    “How … likely is it we can chalk this up to a naughty dream?”

    Dropping her hands to her lap, she squints at him. “Well, now that you’ve said it—not very likely.”

    He’s still half on her bedroll where’s she’d left him, propped up on one arm, other hand massaging at his throat. It takes her a while to process the wariness in his eyes—a length of time where her silent observation of him only seems to heighten his unease.

    Just to be thorough, she briefly touches her fingers to either side of her throat. When she feels only smooth skin, she sighs again, shaking her head.

    “… What are you going to do?” Astarion asks in a low and quiet voice, evidently having followed her—soundlessly in the way she knows he can be when he wants to. “What are you … What are you going to tell them?”

    Summary

    Dwarves and Hobbits do not share the same afterlife.

    Bilbo resigns himself to the fact that he'll never reunite with Thorin; not even in death. He'd do well to forget everything that transpired, but acclimatizing to life in the Shire proves difficult when he starts seeing Thorin in his dreams. And as the dreams start to recur, Bilbo learns that Thorin's presence might be more than his subconscious at work.

    Summary

    “Thorin Oakenshield,” Bilbo says, breathless. “I am dead, then.”

    “Aye, Master Baggins,” Thorin agrees. His face is calm and patient, more regal now that it had ever been with a crown above it. The fires that had once burned in his heart, fueling his prides and passions, his stubbornness and steadfastness, still blaze in his voice. “You are dead.”

    *

    There are things that didn't get said when they should have been. Bilbo's been waiting a lifetime to say them.
