Talking Meme: Day #17 (Part Two)
From 
lafemmedarla: Favorite Shepards.
Okay, so, there are two ways to interpret this prompt. It could mean talk about my favorites out of my own Shepards, or it could mean talk about my favorites out of other people's Shepards.
Because it's me we're talking about, I figured: why not do both?
In this post: other people's Shepards! (Well, five of them. Because I had to draw a line somewhere, otherwise I'll never get any work done tonight.)
First of all,
tarysande's Grace Shepard. Oh, Grace. ♥ I fell in love with her story a long time ago, and it's been so lovely watching it slowly unfold. Pre-ME1. ME1. ME2. Post-ME2. ME3. Post-ME3. An absolutely lovely maybe-AU/maybe-not-AU with the most adorable children ever. (Fic about her is here. F!Shep/Garrus, for the record.)
Next up is
shadesofmauve's Rhi Shepard. (Fic is here, F!Shep/Joker.) How much do I love Rhi? Let me count the ways. It's been such a pleasure watching her relationship with Joker evolve.
gsjennsen's lovely Graceyn Shepard is next on the list. (Fic here, F!Shep/Kaidan). I fell in love with her over the 500,000 words of her story, and there are... some very spoilery aspects of her story that I totally can't mention at all without ruining the surprise, but I absolutely adored almost all of them.
Now we have
KabiViolet's Elizabeth Shepard. (F!Shep/Garrus, fic here). When we meet Lizzie, she's barely more than a kid just slowly finding her way in universe, and it's a lovely journey watching her get from there to becoming the savior of the galaxy.
Last is
swaps55's Shepard from Exordium (M!Shep/Liara), whose name I'm not entirely certain is mentioned in the fic. For some reason, I'm thinking that Swaps has mentioned the name "Matthew" in the past, but I might be making that up? And if I am, sorry! Anyway, he's an awesome character, and I one of the most interesting things about him for me is that he's both the Hero of Elysium as well as the Butcher of Torfan. It's a very unique idea that makes for some interesting moments where you honestly aren't certain where things stand with him.
Runners up (who I love but really don't have the time to type up a lot about) include
servantofclio's Val Shepard (F!Shep/Garrus, fic here),
w0rdinista's Thena Shepard (F!Shep/Garrus, fic here),
thievinghippo's Sonya Shepard (F!Shep/Garrus, fic here),
Drummerchick7's Miriam Shepard (F!Shep/Kelly and F!Shep/Liara, fic here), and
missmeggo929's Ella Shepard (F!Shep/Zaeed, fic here).
... not to mention quite a few others that I'm sure I'm forgetting.
