Will forever be their for each other.
Oh my goodness... I’m so behind. This is Day 6 on the 10th. GAH! I’m going to try it catch up, so please excuse the spam. (These are all tagged with “100 days of bardic writing” and “100daysofwriting” if you don’t want to see them.)
I am very fortunate to have met some amazing people through this fandom and @rock-paperback-scissors is one of them. I am doubly fortunate that our Shepards, her Layla and my Veerla, are best friends. We’ve done one collab so far (her art, my writing) and have at least two others in the works. I have always considered Layla to be Commander Shepard in their shared universe and use Veerla’s not-Shepard last name, Sterling, for it. (Veerla’s canon is so not-canon it makes sense to let Layla have the responsibility honor.)
Shepard: Layla (???) Shepard
Shepard: Veerla Reneé Sterling (Shepard)
Love Interest: Thane Krios (Layla), Donovan Lír (Veerla)
Other Important Relationships: femShep & femShep is main relationship for this series but also femShep (Layla) & Hannah Shepard, femShep (Layla) & Commander Shepard’s (Layla) Father, femShep (Veerla) & Commander Shepard’s (Layla) Father, femShep (Layla) & Miranda Lawson
Favorite Completed Fic: Weapon of Choice. Done for OC Kiss Week (not sure which year), with art by @rock-paperback-scissors and writing by me! Layla tries, with limited success, to teach Veerla to cook.
WIP I’m Most Excited For: Not The First Time, Nor The Last (working title). This also started out as a Kiss Week collab but it got a little out of hand in my brain and I missed the deadline and now it’s hanging out in my WIP. Veerla, trapped on Earth during the events of ME3, teams up with Jon Shepard, Layla’s father, to foil a Cerberus plot. I love Jon so much and I can’t wait to get back to this idea.

the entire time i spent watching this movie i was just waiting for charlotte to turn into a traitorous bitch, because that is what the media has told me for my entire life that her character archetype is supposed to do
kudos to disney for proving me wrong
Let me tell you how great Lottie is. 1. She has EVERYTHING. This girl can literally have anything she wants and instead of hanging out with girls of her social class she’s friends with a poor girl. 2. Not only is she below her social class but she is African American which back in the twenties was COMPLETELY frowned upon. Lottie is risking social status to be friends with Tia. 3. When Tia and Naveen end up together in the end, Lottie doesn’t throw a fit or act upset, she is genuinely happy that Tiana has found true love even though that’s all Lottie has ever wanted her whole life. Something that her daddy can’t buy for her. 4. She’s true to herself and doesn’t let others judge her just because of how much money she has and she has a wonderful friend like Tiana that loves her for that. Lottie is wonderful and is highly underrated.
If Tiana had let her, Charlotte would have bought the restaurant for Tiana and stocked it with the most expensive everything and had a grand ball for the opening.
#Charlotte was a ride or die chick to the end#like she’s the defination of sugar and sweetness as a person#like Tiana could ask her for anything and Charlotte would do it no questions or conditions required
Remember that scene when Charlotte was hanging out with the prince until she came across Tiana who had fallen into her beignet table and gotten desserts all over her dress after being rejected by the racist assholes who denied her restaurant, and Charlotte immediately dropped everything to get Tiana cleaned up and gave her one of her own dresses. The entire night she’d been going nuts because all she wanted was to be with the prince but her friend was in trouble so she put that shit on hold no questions asked. Charlotte was a real one.
Op how could you leave this in the tags

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, but here’s a short, untitled ficlet about memories, friends, and shore leave for Kaidan Week.
The rise and fall of voices engulfed Kaidan as he stared absently at the beer in front of him.
Shore leave.
God, he used to welcome it, especially after a long tour, but now? Now it held wistful memories of a bright smile and shared laughter, of passionate kisses and soft skin under his fingers; memories of what he had lost just over a year ago. Alchera had changed everything.
He swallowed. Better not follow that line of thought. All it brought was memories of the Normandy going down. The smell of electrical fires and burning flesh, scared faces of crew members trying to get to the escape pods, Shepard ordering him to go.
Finding the last escape pod with only Joker inside, sobbing, repeating he was sorry.
No, he really shouldn’t let his mind go there.
He picked up the bottle and took a swig.
“C’mon, Kaidan,” Ashley let herself fall onto the empty bar stool next to him with an exasperated sigh. “I didn’t drag you out of the apartment so you could sit at the bar moping into your beer. At least play a game of pool.”
He didn’t answer immediately. Instead he wiped his thumb slowly over the water condensing on the cold bottle. Glancing to the side he saw Ashley watching him intently. She meant well, he knew that, and deep down he was grateful she was there, even if there were times he wished her to the ass-end of the galaxy. The more he thought about it, the better a game of pool sounded. It certainly beat sitting at home alone drinking himself into oblivion or hitting the gym at ungodly hours; there was no in between, and he knew it. Downtime often left him reeling, but he could always count on his friend to do her best to keep him busy.
He drained his beer and stood up.
“One game,” he said, holding up a finger.
Ashley grinned at him. “Attaboy.”
“Screw you, Williams,” Kaidan muttered, easily catching the cue she tossed him.
“You any good at pool?” she asked as she set up the table.
He watched Ashley make the break and pocket a few balls before missing a shot. His eyes wandered over the table before lining up his first shot.
“I’m not bad at it,” he finally replied, focusing on his next move. “It’s been awhile, though.”
“When was that?”
Kaidan pocketed another ball and circled the table. “The last night on Arcturus before heading out with the SR-1.”
Ashley didn’t respond. He wondered if it had to do with the name hovering unspoken between them. She cleared her throat. “Have you heard from Joker lately?”
Kaidan shook his head. “Nope. It’s been months.”
“Yeah. Same here.”
They continued playing silently. There was something relaxing about playing a game of pool with friends. It gave him something to focus on, and he had to admit he was enjoying himself. The first game went to Ash, and she celebrated just the way he expected her to, by poking fun at him, offering a rematch and ordering another round of drinks. The second he won, but it was close. The third he stepped up his game and cleared the table easily.
Ashley stared at the pool table and blinked. “Wow.” She cleared her throat. “That game just was something else. I should’ve known your Not bad at it was Kaidan-speak for I’m damn good at it.”
Kaidan laughed. “Like I said, I’m not bad at it. I played a lot of pool at BAaT.”
He wasn’t going to tell her he’d hustled pool during his time at college; there were some things not even his best friends had to know.
“You know I’d offer to cook you dinner but you seem pretty miserable already” “You’re here to do your laundry?” “And to see a friend.”
Okay but can we just talk about the 3rd and 6th gif?? He literally picks her up like a sack of potatoes and she’s totally fine with it and then in the 6th gif she decides that the best way to protect Steve Rogers who has a fucking shield is to jump in his seat and yank his head into her chest and take the fucking bullet…. I don’t know about you guys but if that’s not bestie love I don’t know what is
This is literally the definition of
“Sir that’s my emotional support assassin.”
“ha! classic appa.”

So @bardofheartdive kinda made my Christmas by commissioning this picture of our Shepards, Layla and Veerla, from the amazing @yanelyaguilarart! I feel so happy whenever I look at it. They both look gorgeous and I think this picture captures their friendship perfectly. <3 I can’t thank you enough!
It was absolutely my pleasure!
Also, I cannot recommend @yanelyaguilarart enough for art needs! They are great to work with and their art is lovely!

Charlotte and Tiana are 100% each other’s support through out the whole movie. Wherever their dreams are different or the same they truly just want each other happy.
