She always looks like she's screaming internally and honestly, me too girl, me too.
Just going through some ME2 streams for fic inspo and meme screenshots, and I needed to share these because LOOK AT MY GIRL SHE'S SO PRETTY.

Someone you can trust.
Joker sees Shepard for the first time since she died.
I'm so torn, there are a lot of scenes/beats I want to write for my Shoker fic series but I can't do them all because a lot of them work for two very different timelines. I essentially have to decide whether to pay off the slow burn in ME2 or ME3 and I can't make up my mind on which option is best.
More MaisyShep/Shoker shenanigans for your vieweing pleasure.

So it's been a while since Sunday Funday, but ah...
⭐? Director's cut thingy? 👀 I wanna hear all about what you're excited about!!
Ooooooh I'm so excited to get one of these!!!! Really hard to decide what to talk about though.
Actually I think I'm going to talk about the latest part of the fic (Safe) because I used it to explore a topic I often don't find in media.
Generally, I've found that my little Maisy Shepard has been a great way to explore thoughts and feelings around my experience with late diagnosed, "high-masking" autism. A big part of that is that I've always been touch-averse, but I didn't realise I was because there were exceptions. I've always had one, maybe two people I felt okay being close to, usually my mum and a very close friend. I'm still more aware of myself when I'm say, cuddling, hugging or holding hands with someone, but there are some people I'm okay doing it with (my housemate is essentially the little sister I never had, and I've turned into her pillow, plushie and stress ball).
All that to say, I've seen fics where touch becomes something grounding for Shepard (Ale's fic is one example, and it's beautifully done), but never ones that represent how I feel about touch, where little by little and seemingly for no reason, one person will become safe and reassuring to touch even when no-one else is.
Maisy being okay with touching Joker says "you're my person, and I feel 100% safe with you"
