Summery:  directly after the events of part 1: recently human colonies have been getting abducted by a mysterious race of aliens called the collectors, resulting the alliance sending Kaidan to investigate the next colony that’s rumored to be hit. When he gets taken with the rest of the colony Lily is forced to join Cerberus and her brother who miraculously was brought back from the dead to get Kaidan back. She doesn’t trust anyone aboard but she’s willing to go to any lengths in order to get the man she loves back before it’s too late.

Preview: “I don’t want to talk, I’m tired of everyone fucking making me talk shit out!” she exclaimed, turning her back to him “can’t you people be patient while I process everything?” she placed her face in her hands “is that too damn much to ask?” Lily clenched her fist and her biotics flared, knocking over a nearby plant, freeing it of the fancy pot it had been confined to.

According to Lily her biotics had always been unstable, even with the dampners she took they still spiked pretty high. 

“Hey, hey, it’s okay.” he whispered, taking her in his arms from behind. “We don’t have to talk about anything you don’t want to but smoking your problems away isn’t going to help anything. 

Lily was silent for a moment. “Fine…” she grumbled, he was as stubborn as she was and there was no point in arguing with him seeing as it’d get her nowhere. 

 Kaidan kissed her bare shoulder “Thank you.” 

“Whatever, you’re lucky you’re cute boy scout.” she said, earning a chuckle from the man behind her. 

Kaidan kissed her cheek and despite her pouting she made no attempts to pull away “I love you.” he whispered, inching closer to her red lips. 

“Yeah, yeah whatever.” She turned her head slightly and their lips met in a kiss that was soon interrupted by Anderson clearing his throat and they quickly pulled away from each other.

Lily rolled her eyes “talk about what? My brother is dead, talking isn’t going to change that and you aren’t my fucking therapist, what could you possiably do to help?” 

She wasn’t wrong, but it still didn’t feel great to hear “I guess you’re right…sorry.” 

Lily shook her head, the heel of her hand pressed against her face “No dammit i’m…ugh!” She dropped her cigarette on the ground next to her and picked up one of her heels, beating the cigarette into the ground. “Where does he get off dying huh? I certainly didn’t give him permission! I don’t care if he’s some kinda hero because of it, I don’t want a hero I want my fucking brother back!” 

It wasn’t until Kaidan grabbed her from behind that she realized she had been sobbing. Lily dropped her now scuffed up shoe onto the ground and collapsed against him. 

“Shhh, you’re gonna be okay Lil.” He said softly, holding her tight against him. 

Lily shook her head, covering her face with her hands “No I won’t, Aiden is gone, I don’t have anyone anymore.” she sniffed “i’m all alone now.” 

“That’s not true,” he removed her hands from her face and looked into her eyes “You have me and I swear I’m not going anywhere.” Lily looked up at him, tears still streaming down her face “okay? You aren’t alone Lil, I promise.” Lily threw herself onto him, clinging to him as she cried. 

Kaidan hated seeing her this way but it was a relief, all that time bottling what she was feeling, he knew how Lily was, it took a lot for her to show this part of herself and for how new their relationship was he was grateful that she felt comfortable enough with him to be vulnerable.

From part two of willow

Kaidan pinched the bridge of his nose and before he could say anything else she stuck out her hand “Cigarettes.” 

“What? Lil I don’t have your cigarettes.” 

Had to add the extra line for some context ^^;

Tagging whoever wants to participate <3

Summery:  Kaidan and Lily are complete opposites where he’s level headed and compassionate she’s hot headed and ruthless. Their personalities clash and they butt heads constantly yet no matter how much they hate it they can’t deny their attraction for each other. They drive each other crazy, but they also drive each other crazy.

She sighed, setting her cigarette down in the ashtray “Fine…." 

She looked up at the stars, just like she did on Torfan that night, only this time the man next to her was alive and she wasn’t covered in blood or sweat. Instead it was a peaceful, cool summer night, no dead bodies just her, her lover and the biggest case of beer they could find. 

"I was engaged once.” She told him over the faint sound of crickets.

 "What happened?“ He asked, the alcohol in his system giving him less of a filter then he already had.

Lily chuckled darkly, "Torfan happened." 

Kaidan nodded, eyes wide, he wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and not assume things but from what he heard it probably wasn’t an assumption.

 "Did the batarians….were they responsible?”

 "No, he was an infiltrator, batarian bastards never saw him coming.“ She smacked a mosquito that landed on her arm. "That was all me, I got him killed." 

"Lily-”

“And before you say ‘oh no, it wasn’t your fault’.” She mocked “Aiden, my therapist and Anderson have all been telling me that for the past five years,” she picked up her still lit cigarette and took another drag off it “I know it is and you saying it certainly isn’t going to change my mind.”

 "Okay, then I won’t say it.“ 

She flicked her cigarette out onto the deck "Thank you." 

"I am sorry though.”

Lily shrugged "whatever, your turn boy scout, where’s that secret I was promised?" 

I’m living for this hair cut on her (❤´艸｀❤)

Nine chapters in and Lily is finally letting go of her trust issues, ya love to see it 

Oh I wonder who she could possibly be thinking about? ;)

to avoid double tagging whoever wants to do this consider yourself tagged <3

Hi, yes I am alive it was just moving day but I managed to get something done lol

"Uh hello...can anyone hear me?" Liara's soft, nearly frantic voice rang through the cavern.

"Uh Aiden, I think we found our girl." Lily pointed out as Aiden made his way to the blue field suspending the asari scientist.

"Doctor T'soni?"

"You're human! Thank the goddess I thought the geth had found me." 

"What's with the…?" Lily gestured vaguely at the barrier "You know, the force field thing."

"It's a prothean barrier curtain, I thought it'd protect me from the geth."

"I mean, it's not that it didn't do that."

Aiden sighed "Lily…." He turned his attention back to Liara "How do we get you out?"

"The control switch is back behind me but first you need to find a way past this shield."

"Right, move out you two." They didn't get very far before the geth ambushed them.

"Ya know I'm really starting to hate these things." Lily commented as she overloaded a canister, taking out two at once.

"Now?" Aiden asked in disbelief as he pulled one towards him and shot it with his shotgun, the explosive rounds he used making it resemble a firework as it burst in midair.

Kaidan threw the last geth against the wall and they scoped the area before turning their attention to the giant mining laser next to them "This could work if we can figure it out." Lily commented as she examined it.

"Well you're the tech geek, get on it." Aiden pointed to the control panel.

"Aye sir." She said sarcastically as she went to work on the controls, grumbling angrily each time it flashed red "Alright, I think that did it." The ground started shaking as she turned to them and she fell over, clinging to the control panel.

"Good job, thanks sis." Aiden said as he slowly and carefully made his way down to the newly made entrance, Lily and Kaidan following behind him.

Lily Hope Shepard

Your rain - Akira Yamoka

Nobody showed me how to return the love you gave to me

Mom never holds me, dad loves a stranger more than me 

I never wanted to ever bring you down, all that I need are some simple loving words

You touched my body once, it burns me still softly

Never forgets, never again will be, I cry

Out of my head and I don’t know what I found

Over and over I feel it break me down

Nobody’s home - Avril Lavigne

What’s wrong, what’s wrong now?

Too many, too many problems

Don’t know where she belongs, where she belongs

She wants to go home but nobody’s home

It’s where she lies, broken inside

There’s no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes

Broken inside

Breaking inside - Shinedown(ft. Lizzy Hale)

Out here, nothing’s clear

Except the moment I decided to move on and I ignited 

Disappear into the fear

You know there ain’t no comin’ back 

When you’re still carrying the past

You can’t erase, separate

Cigarette in my hand

Hope you all understand

I won’t be the last one in line

I finally figured out what’s mine

Wip Eden Prime

From my twins au I still don’t have a title for orz

Tagging @crqstalite @confunderewrites

“Are those…” Lily nudged one of the robots with her foot, rolling it on it’s back “Geth?”

“I don’t believe it….” Lily couldn’t read him well but from the tone of his voice he was clearly surprised.

“Could they be here because of the beacon?”

“Would they have a use for it?”

Lily shrugged “I don’t know, they haven’t been seen in three centuries, who knows what they’ve been up to.”

“Hm, radio the Commander, tell him we’ll meet at the spaceport up there.”

Lily nodded and pressed a finger against her ear, activating her comm “Change of plans Commander, there’s a spaceport ahead Nihlus and I are gonna check out, meet us there.” Lily jogged off behind Nihlus trying to catch up and nearly bumped into him as he stopped dead in his tracks.

“Saren?" 

Lily peaked from behind him, trying to see who he was talking to. 

"Nihlus, good to see you.”

“This isn’t your mission Saren.“ Nihlus put his gun away and Lily cautiously followed behind him, her pistol still held firmly in her hand. It’s not like she didn’t trust Turians but there was something off about this Saren guy Lily couldn’t quite put her finger on "What are you doing here?”

"The council sent me, they thought you could use a hand.” Nihlus seemed convinced enough and Saren turned his attention to Lily instead “And you must be from the ship he’s serving on.”

“Lieutenant Shepard.”

Saren stared at her and she’d be lying if she wasn’t uncomfortable, they must’ve been close for Nihlus to believe him so easily but Lily couldn’t help but feel like the other Turian was lying about his reasonings for being here.

Nihlus turned to her “Survey the area, I’ll join you soon.”

Lily looked between them, she had no attachment to Nihlus but she had a gut feeling leaving him now wouldn’t end well but she reluctantly agreed “Uh aye aye.” She shot them one last glance before walking ahead, leaving the two spectres alone. 

I know twin aus are over done but uh I couldn't help myself 🤷🏻‍♀️ It's just a wip for the moment tho

Lily hummed as she tucked her makeup back into her locker "Geez took you long enough, sure you're a marine?"

Lily looked up and saw her twin brother Aiden "Just because I want to look nice it doesn't make me less of a marine than you."

Aiden laughed "I'm messing with you Lil." 

Lily rolled her eyes "I hate you."

"No you don't." Aiden said matter of factly as he walked away.

Lily scoffed as she stood up, dusting off her navy blue uniform and walking up the stairs to the CIC. Anderson had just requested Aiden's presence but it didn't mean she couldn't see what was going on in the cockpit. Lily was stopped by Jenkins waving at her and she made her way over to him and Chakwas, Aidan elbowing her in the arm "Think he's finally gonna ask you out?"

It was common knowledge he had a crush on Lily and while she only had eyes for someone else on the ship Jenkins seemed harmless enough so she didn't avoid him "Don't you have a captain to bother?"

"Hey, he called me."

"Good thing Chakwas stocks up on painkillers he's gonna need them for the headache he'll have after dealing with you." Aiden stuck his tongue out at her as he walked into the comm room and she did the same to him.

Chakwas shook her head at them "I swear you two…"

Lily shrugged "That's what Anderson gets for having us both on the ship."

"So what brings you up here?" Jenkins asked, looking at her like a love sick puppy.

"Just going to see Joker, the Captain didn't call for me but I'm nosey."

"I'm sure they'd appreciate your company." He blushed "I know I would."

Lily smiled "You're sweet." She felt she was leading him on a bit but there's no reason to be cold to him over a crush and if anything she hoped they could be friends. After a brief conversation she continued to the cockpit, she had lied, Joker wasn't the reason she was going up there it was Kaidan. Lily had a huge crush on him and she thought he felt the same but she was too nervous to ask. Kaidan noticed her come up behind them and turned to greet her "Hey Lily, good to see you."

Lily looked away, smiling "You too…" it was impossible for her not to feel shy around Kaidan, she had never felt this way about anyone before and she wasn't sure how to act.

Aiden walked to the cockpit and stopped next to Lily "Hey you two, suit up and meet us in the cargo bay." Aiden patted her on the back before jogging off.

"Aye aye." Kaidan and Lily said in unison something that embarrassingly enough made her blush.

--------

Lily looked over as she put on her boots and saw Aiden had left his shotgun on the weapons bench, rolling her eyes she stood up and grabbed it, pushing it against his chest "You forgot this...again."

Aiden accepted it from her and rubbed the back of his neck "Thanks Lil."

"Uh huh." She stood next to him as they waited for Anderson "What did the captain talk to you about?"

Nihlus shot him a look before he could answer "I'll uh I'll tell you later, promise." Aiden said as he attached his shotgun to his lower back.

Lily raised an eyebrow at him and shrugged "I'll hold you to that." 

Here she is, idk how I feel about the hair yet
