How is this different from the official challenges? These are drabbles only. Also, you will be posting your replies to this post instead of to the community.

So read the prompts, write a story, submit a prompt! But most of all, have fun!

She stared back at him. “I don’t believe it.”

He searched her face for a moment, surprise and confusion mixing across his own before turning away and raising a hand to his temple. “You don’t have to, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.”

“Shepard isn’t dead, Kaidan.” She watched him take a shuddering breath. “She can’t be.”

His back was still turned to her.

“I just- I just thought you would want to know. I’ve put together some leads about what may have happened and where she could be, and I think they’re very promising-“

“Leave.”

“What?”

“I need you to leave.”

“I just thought that you of all people would want-“

He turned to face her sharply. “This isn’t about what I want. She’s gone, Liara.” The anger began to recede from his countenance after a moment, leaving only the tired, defeated look from earlier. “You just need to accept that.”

She stared at him in disbelief. “I can’t.”

He shook his head. “Then I’m going to need you to leave.”

She could feel her jaw working, trying to find something to say that would convince him of her certainty, but all she found was the desperate need to cling to this one little hope for herself. She couldn’t accept the alternative, couldn’t process this grief that was threatening to drag her down- not until she had proof one way or the other. She turned to leave.

“The service is in two days.” His voiced seemed to catch. “You should be there.”

She nodded.

But they still didn’t have a body.

Thank you! tersa and I had been talking about Liara's drastic personality growth between the destruction and resurrection of Shepard and the whole recovery of Shepard's body piqued our interest a lot, so when I saw her prompt, I had to take a shot at it. Plus, Kaidan. There is never too much Kaidan.
