Don’t follow that order.
miranda is incredibly sensitive to anything that could be perceived as a failure on her part. she judges herself only by her mistakes, giving all the credit to her successes to her genetics, her father, the illusive man, even shepard. “we’ve both been engineered for greatness, shepard. the difference is, you were great before we rebuilt you. i’m great because of it.” she doesn’t take credit for her own skill as something she has a right to, merely something that is, something to be used --- and subsequently, she is a tool to be used. it wouldn’t insult her to throw her “perfection” back in her face -- she accepts what she is and she doesn’t hide from it, she isn’t afraid to use it. she falters only when it becomes clear how she doesn’t measure up in one way or another, when she fails to do something. failure only motivates her to overcome whatever that may be, but failure is also completely internalized, and something she holds very close to herself.
broke: no one on the normandy likes miranda woke: most of the people on the normandy aren’t sure of how to talk to her, or even get near her, because she makes it difficult for others to get to know her. however, when approached, she’s perfectly pleasant, and everyone knows she’s very reliable and actually cares about the mission
What is it about intimacy that makes it so very disturbing?

ME3 SQUADMATE VERSE. i’m mostly adjusting the timeline for miranda a bit, and redoing part of her arc in ME3 (since bioware fuckin nerfed her...) miranda was one of the last crew mates to leave the normandy before it was turned over to the alliance. but, once she left, she quickly became a target for the illusive man and cerberus as a whole. in the six months between ME2 and ME3, miranda’s kept moving from station to station, planet to planet, using her cerberus intel and favors she’s been owed by others to remain mostly out of sight. her contact with her sister has been limited, given her constant moving around and the possibility that she could accidentally lead cerberus, or her father, to oriana. regardless, she’s kept updates on her sister, as well as most of the old normandy crew.
there have been a few run - ins with the illusive man’s men, but nothing she couldn’t handle. after the reapers hit earth, the first thing miranda does is check on oriana. for this verse, oriana has not yet disappeared, and miranda and her are still in contact. miranda puts in more measures to ensure oriana’s safety. using her contacts, and the small access she still has to cerberus databases, she sees the uptick in cerberus activity and begins feeding the alliance intel on the organization. after the PRIORITY: PALAVEN mission, miranda meets up with shepard on the citadel, similar to the game. given that, at the moment, oriana is still safe, miranda decides to join up with shepard and use shepard’s access to resources, as well as her own information on cerberus, to try and uncover more about the illusive man’s intentions and plans. at some point, oriana is taken by their father, and miranda loses contact with her. on edge, miranda still asks for access to alliance resources, not willing to tell shepard why just yet. using those, she still discovers her father’s facility on horizon. right before PRIORITY: THESSIA, miranda disappears to track her sister and her father down, knowing shepard is dealing with the reapers elsewhere, and taking it upon herself to put her father down and rescue her sister. the horizon mission plays out as usual. after surviving horizon, she returns to the normandy.

Nemesis inhabited a dark paradise of her own making. She never held back. I loved her for her frightful hatred, her frightful love. I admired her stunning passion for revenge; the mercilessness in her eyes.
Lola Ridge, from To the Many; Collected Poems of Lola Ridge; “Hellish,” (via mirandlawson)

And behind all the myths and masks: / her soul, which is always alone.
Jorge Luis Borges, from Susana Bombal (tr. by Paul Weinfield)
upcoming:
- ME3 squadmate verse (because that’s what we all wanted) - miranda + leadership - miranda + self - esteem - miranda + her relationship with cerberus and the illusive man (her loyalty, etc.) - miranda + affection, and how intimacy (both platonic and romantic) has been impacted by her childhood

@turianrebel said: “I think about you everywhere I go.”
WASTELAND , BABY . accepting . @turianrebel
THE ONLY THING ON THIS PLANET THAT ISN'T SILVER ARE THE TURIANS. IT'S ALL TOO CLEAR THEY'RE MADE OF STEEL. that was the quote . jon grissom’s assessment had proved apt since her arrival on the turian homeworld . the architecture is sharp and strange , and the heat makes some deserts on earth look damn near frigid , but there’s something --- lovely about it , too , in the way only something so utterly different , alien , could be lovely . she admires plenty of things about the turians , their culture and their hard - earned place as the galaxy’s peacekeepers -- for lack of a better term . humanity could learn a lot from them , if they were to try . but more than that , for now she appreciates the distinct lack of humans present on palaven . cerberus operations here were minimal , and limited almost entirely to intelligence gathering in the form of hackers safe systems away . it’s easier to ply at the citadel and within the alliance than to set up any real operations here --- not that cerberus is interested in palaven beyond the potential risks it poses and the information it holds . she stuck out rather harshly at the dock . humans rarely made the trek here , most of them alliance officials . they saw even less humans that looked like her . her --- false --- identification papers had been turned over by more than one official , but they’d cleared her eventually . the irony is near painful : she’s likely safer here than she has been in months .
tracking down garrus had been almost too easy after that . she’d considered not seeking him out , passing through without ever alerting him to her presence . perhaps he hadn’t been interested in anything beyond a short term fling , half driven by the uncomfortable reality that the collector base could have very well become their tomb . if that were the case , he wouldn’t hear from her again , and she wouldn’t have given him the satisfaction of seeing disappointment cross her brow . but she’d wanted to see him , almost frighteningly so . shortly after making up her mind , she stole into his then - empty residence , and even helped herself to his shower . between the grime of the journey and the heat , he couldn’t stop her if he tried . standing in front of him now , however , she feels ... unprepared , and the discomfort of that curls under her skin , carves into the usual confidence she maintains .
she wonders if he’ll notice the small signs of wear and tear . living on the run was romantic in theory , but better left to romance novels and star - crossed lovers . cerberus is a cruel hound , and the strain of dodging them shows in small ways : the bruises beneath her eyes , the slight gaunt of her cheeks , a scabbed - over cut at the corner of her forehead from a fight , one to seven . these minor imperfections were never present before , even in the midst of chaos aboard the SR - 2 . her hair is still damp when he arrives , dripping down the length of her spine , and she’s thumbing over everything in the space with a prying hand and curious eyes . she’s tense throughout the initial reunion , composure held with a careful expression and a soft , but invulnerable tone . it’s only when he makes that declaration that she relaxes into a warmer creature , with an uncut smile to match . ❝ is that so ? ❞ she hums , stepping toward him slowly . her arms come to cross , and she clenches her hands around her arms to keep them from fidgeting . ❝ did you miss me ? ❞ a tease , but she can’t help sounding pleased .
she’d missed him . it had been unexpected , to say the least . she’d made her goodbyes to the normandy with the belief that it would truly be goodbye . tracking her leads , hiding from cerberus , and the rest of the crew with their own missions to pursue , she’d never intended to find herself in this position . missing him like this . turning over their last interactions in her mind . he’d lingered in her thoughts more than she’d like , dredged feelings almost foreign to the forefront of her mind . visiting him had been an impulse , one she hadn’t bothered to curb . but now ---- ❝ i’ve thought about you , too . quite a bit , actually . i wasn’t sure if you ... were still interested , given the circumstances . i wasn’t even going to visit , but ... i wanted to see you . ❞ a minor confession , but it leaves her feeling more vulnerable than she’d like . ❝ i figured i’d find out if you still felt the same . if you want , i’ll leave now . i didn’t come here to pressure you --- just to see a friend . ❞
