Y'know, I don't typically like maleShepard stories. Then again, I'm female, I play female, no reason to read an MShep story, right?

Wrong.

This.... this is romance. It's romance on the right level - tortured hero, but not angsty, because angst is self-indulgence, and Shepard doesn't have the time for that. This is about yearning (or at least, that's my take on it) for companionship, for something soft, something close, trust. Everything Shepard is not afforded by life in general, and his life in particular. And Liara is very well done in this story. Not a pushover, not willing to sacrifice the essence of herself for him, because that's not worthy of either of them.

As always, well done!
