A/N: I hope it’s what you were hoping for :) Enjoy. I borrowed a quote from Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
We Shall Always Be You And I
The apartment is quiet. The tempered windows keep out the noise of busy streets and bustling industry. I feel all the life pulsing desperately on the other side of it, the lights sliding across my skin in rapid vibrancy. I press my hand against the cool glass. The steady vibrations of a million million souls being, breathing, living transfers through my palm. The brevity of it all makes me melancholy. Life is so short. Especially now.
I know staying in Anderson’s apartment is a decadent luxury, even if it’s only one night. The timing makes the retreat highly exorbitant. Right now every moment counts and no seconds should be squandered. That, unfortunately, is the argument Shepard used to get me here in the first place. One night. Every moment matters; so no moments matter. We could be dead tomorrow. She’d smiled and kissed me until I forgot why I was arguing

My grunt of frustration amuses her but her eyes show me she’s just as ready to get started as I am. “I just wanted a second to look at you.” And she does, from head to toe, and back again. Twice. She licks her lips. “You are beautiful.” Her sincerity has always made me lightheaded, and I can already feel my biotics slipping my control. Ozone starts to fill the room. I don’t know if this feeling she makes me feel is normal; I lose myself. It’s terrifying. It’s magnificent

The explosion is marvelous; I ride out the waves with her. And, we are glorious. I hold her limp body as she recovers. Her music filling this silence beautifully as well

Wow Anon… you put into beautiful words everything I thought I felt when it came to the romanced Liara during the entire end game: Conflicted between resignation and hope - knowing that the end had the highest probability of taking Shepard while still hoping it wouldn't be.

OP here. That was beautiful, and just what I wanted to read. You capture Liara incredibly well, better than virtually ever other a!a I've read. Usually the first-person perspective would be off-putting but your use of it here is pitch-perfect for the story.
