The Doctor's Vision (Any character) anonymous March 22 2013, 02:35:11 UTC
So, there's this bit in Doctor Who where the Doctor has this vision of all the days he would have had with a person he loved if he chose a particular road. Namely growing old with her, having a bunch of kids and then dying by her side, happy and content with life. But of course, he chooses the opposite path that saves more people.

I'd like to see one of the characters having a moment like this, preferrably right before they die.

Maybe it's Ashley or Kaidan, dreaming about the days they would have had with the other one or with Shepard before the nuke goes off.

Maybe it's Shepard in the Normandy crash. Maybe it's during the final choice on the Citadel. Either way is fine, anons, just make it heartbreaking.

Of course it would be Garrus who catches them, frantically wrestling with buttons and straps in the crew lounge. His mandibles twitch in irritation as he tucks a datapad under his arm ( ... )

"It's appropriate." He grins at her, standing at attention in his place at her side. "Besides," he leans in, his lips brushing her ear as he lowers his voice, "you'll be out of it soon enough."

She raises an appraising eyebrow at his tone and a wicked smile tugs at the corner of her mouth.

"Couldn't we just skip to that part? I hate these things."

"Shepard."

"Fine, fine." She settles back into position with a few more tugs at the hem of her jacket, muttering under her breath. He thinks that for once, the mission might be going as planned.

The music swells and it's time. Just as the doors open onto the cheering crowd, Shepard rises on her toes, steadying herself on his arm to whisper in his ear.

"I'm pregnant."Will it be okay?" Wide brown eyes stare up at him in worry. He scrubs a hand over his face, the stubble there rasping painfully. He hasn't shaved and his eyes are sore, ( ... )

She's standing in front of the mirror, gooseflesh rising in the morning cold. Hands smoothing over skin beginning to loosen, orderly scars crisscrossing where she'll always bear the marks of her rebirth, puckered scars spreading elsewhere from the life she built afterwards. Always methodical, Shepard, as she pinches at her stomach, weighs a breast in one hand, tosses her head to watch the sway of wispy white hair. He watches from the bed, reminded of how she used to check her armor this way, each seal and join inspected for weakness or flaw ( ... )

I filled this prompt before it happened, last year. It was inspired by that same bit in Who, hence the title.
