harlan shepard u are sooo special to me
#txt#how would YOU feel if you never stopped fighting all your life and then finally#finally after saving the citadel and getting to a place where you can maybe be happy#you fucking died and got resurrected two years later against your will#and the only man you ever really loved sees you working with a terrorist group (which you’re saving the world again. but yknow)#and doesn’t trust you anymore (for good reason but oh. it hurts that much more because of it)#and you’re still getting used to the feeling of Being Alive again and you’re not sure you’re really you#and if you’re very still you can hear the cybernetic implants#humming in the back of your skull and you hate it you HATE it and you want to claw all the mechanical bits of you out#on top of that you start to think oh. i kind of have mixed feelings about being a woman#but you don’t have time to unpack all of that because god dammit you have a job to do even though all you want to do is crash the fuck out#anyway. i think about me2 era harlan a lot
