Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

She flips through the holo-album, grinning at the images of tiny fringes and gangly limbs, her voice teasing when she adds, "So that's what you look like without your eyepiece!"

This was my favorite. I positively cackled.

Okay maybe I have multiple favorites.

"It's better-" she wheezes, her grip on his hand indomitable even now, "-better this time around because you're here."

*heart breaks* ;o;

I think this may have convinced me to do 1sentence for F!Shep/Thane... Bwaha.

Hee! Thanks for the comments! Those prompts were some of my favorites, too. And you should totally make a Shep/Thane 1sentence claim! I know at least two other people at masseffect have made claims--the more the merrier, as they say. ;)

This was awesome! This one, I loved soso much:

26 - Goodbye

"It's better-" she wheezes, her grip on his hand indomitable even now, "-better this time around because you're here."

But seriously, the universe you've created for them in sentences is really deep, and I love the glimpses of the effect of their relationship on the people around them and in the quieter moments. Well done!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)

Thanks! Yeah, I was hoping to strike a good balance between fluff, humor and angst and not go overboard on any one. Glad you liked them!

I loved these and some of them made me cackle out loud - the ones with Garrus' observations of weird human practices in particular.

Oh, and yeah. Flexibility. I laughed.

fifmeister July 27 2010, 01:06:20 UTC

Yay, I'm glad they made you laugh! I figure, being in a relationship with someone from another species, there would be plenty of moments where all you could do is laugh. ;) Thanks for reading!

That's true. So many weird situations must occur. But really, I think you captured his spirit very well.

You finished! And I hardly saw any evidence of comma and semicolon spills. I am proud. ♥ 'Child' hit a soft spot in me. Nicely done <3

fifmeister July 27 2010, 01:09:44 UTC

I did! I think I started to go a little crazy there at the end, but I got 'em done. ;) I'm glad you liked "Child"--I really like the idea of Shepard and crew helping out on Taetrus in some way, and thus that sentence was born.

Thanks for commenting, and good luck finishing your sentences! :)
