Summary
It turns out, after finally playing the Legendary Edition, I can confirm that the end of Mass Effect 3 still burns my soul the same as it did in 2012. This series, 'After', is my attempt at squaring away my Shepard's story after being left in limbo for over a decade. It also tries to address the character growth that Liara T'Soni goes through in ME1 and ME2, which mostly takes place off screen.
This entry is the first chapter in a three part series of my Commander Shepard. The narrative structure is comprised of multiple POVs that show the in-between or off screen moments that were not captured during regular gameplay, however aside from the prologue will not have Shepard's POV. Parts 1 and 2 will cover the trilogy, with Part 3 being the story after ME3 ends. No crossovers, no major AU, no drastic departures from the ME series until part 3.
Mostly congruent with the main storyline, however liberties are taken with the plotlines at times. The story assumes the reader knows the plot of Mass Effect fairly well.
