Through a glass, darkly (смешанная)

FemShep/Liara romance. Edgy, very dark themes, character/relationship focussed with plenty of sexystuff. Original characters. political intrigue and action.
Shepard struggles with the pressure, her anxiety and fear; Liara struggles with the fallout from Shepard's death and return.
Left of cannon, not always sticking to linear storyline, or in game timelines.
Includes major storyline with Aria and a lot of time on Thessia
This is the first of two 'books' that will span the whole of the Mass Effect Trilogy. This first book will take us to the end of ME2 (but we don't follow all in game timings).
You will see, hopefully, my writing transforming and growing stronger as the work progresses. I find my own voice at some point and your feedback on the overarching progress of the writing is also welcome on top of the story itself.
