NEW WORLDS

Litttle doodle of Zachary - inspired by a recent ask by @fire-in-my-woods 💌

[theviridianbunny]

I see you like mass effect, do you have a custom shep 👀👀👀?? I would LOOOOVE to see them if you do!!!!!

Oh hey RJ-!

Yes, I do have a custom shep! My dear Zachary

Zachary is a paragade infiltrator (and the self proclaimed sharpest shooter in the galaxy-!) - Sadly I lost all her screenshots and her preset when I un installed MELE on my pc (but I have a collage I made a few years ago- that you can see below) ! At some point I will make her again - as I do want to do another playthrough with my gal

She’s a James Vega enjoyer (tm) (her romance with him runs so different to the "romance" seen in biowares canon)m and her best friend is EDI <3 - I do plan to draw her and edi hanging out (and gossiping about joker lololol)

My Zachary/ James fics can be found here and here <3 I plan to write more for them one day - god I also need to get their ship name sorted oopsie

Thank you for the ask ! I don’t talk about zach much - so this was nice - maybe at some point I’ll do a proper post about her !

Under the Starlight - James Vega x Zachary Shepard

In the final hours before reaching earth - two soldiers spend a quiet moment under the starlight.

I'm taking a bit of my own advice I gave my irl bestie @withoutyouimsaskia last year- I'm being brave and posting my writing here- this mini fic has been in my drafts for over a year now!! finally got it done!! Fic is under the cut- this is also avilabe to read over on my AO3 .... I've kinda always struggled to write- but I still greatly enjoy writing - even if it takes a long time for me to create/ even when my brain is in 75 places at once!! I think proof reading is the worst part for me uGH BUT ANYWAY i really hope you enjoyed reading- i really enjoyed writing this !! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ♡‧₊

The final battle was upon the crew of the Normandy, the air inside the ship was thick and tense. Zachary had excused herself from the mission brief with Hacket as soon as she could. Normally she would sit for a momet with a cup of coffee- makeup up some sort of plan- or gathered her thoughts in the company of her crew.  But not this time...

She’d excused herself Without too many words or acknowledgement to the rest of her crew, She’d retreated to her cabin.  Not wanting them to see her full of this anxiety and all these big feelings.  Hearing Liara call to her to sit with her for a moment, The commander turned to her dear friend, saying how she needed a moment to herself, and she’d be down soon… 

Zachary Shepard, She was a beacon of hope to the galaxy. At least, that's what she’d been telling herself.   She had to be strong not only for her crew, but for the galaxy. It felt like the fate of everything rested on her shoulders.  

There was approximately four hours to kill until they reached earth. Setting the lights in her cabin to a dim mode the cabin glowed with a soft purple light. The cabin was also illuminated by the large fish tank that was full of beautiful tropical fish and two small jellyfish. 

She’d changed out of her dress uniform into something comfy ( Zachary opting for a pair of sweatpants and a soft cotton black T-shirt. Her N7 embroidered hoodie draped over her shoulders)  She carefully placed her dog tags on the bedside cabinet. They were down neatly next to a  photograph that had been taken on shore leave, at the citadel.       

It was a photo of her and her dearest friend, Liara T’soni. The photo was a “candid shot”, taken by EDI. It showed The commander and Liara sitting together at the citadel praesidium, mid conversation.  Liara beaming ear to ear as Zachary cracked a joke.    Zachary couldn’t remember what she’d been joking about, but the photo held fond memories.  

The recent shore leave to the citadel had brought Zachary closer to her crewmates.  In particular, one lieutenant James Vega.

During the times where Zachary was on what she called “house arrest”. Her ship grounded, her crew scattered out across the galaxy.   Over the period of time she was grounded, Zachary grew to know Jmes not only as a co-worker, but as a friend too… they'd flirted a little with each other a little as well… Hell - The two had been skirting around each other awkwardly until they eventually gave into their feelings and shared an intimate moment together on the balcony of Hakket’s citadel apartment. 

Nothing more than a kiss and a deep talk about human connection, but that was all they’d needed in that moment.  Exchanging Words of longing, lust and devotion.  Emotional vulnerability- baring all to each other. 

The idea of intimacy and so much more - a fantasy. One that may have bloomed into something in another life…

Zachary confessed in that moment- that in another life- she’d like to have settled down with him. They’d have a house by the beach and a chocolate Labrador Retriever…

The memory of shore leave on her mind- the commander lost in the moment for a little too long… Coming back into the present-  She decided it’d be best for her to cut her hair. Catching her reflection in the fishtank and running her hands through her hair. 

So- she paced to the bathroom and stripped down to her vest and pants- grabbed her clippers from the cabinet and placed them onto the counter.  The commander looked at herself in the mirror- she looked tired. Her fair skin was blotchy and dry- dark circles under her eyes. Small patches of skin scarring from where she’d picked it with anxiety.  The battle scaring up her right cheek was all the more prominent at this moment. Cerberus was to blame for that set of scars…

Her grape purple hair had grown out too long over the months- she wanted to look and feel like herself… she'd always wanted to keep her appearance sharp and neat- but she'd been slipping… She’d not worn any makeup when attending meetings or going out on missions.  Zachary was known for her bold lipstick choices… Choosing dark colours that made her feel confident..   Looking to and then Picking up the clippers- she took them to her hair and shaved off all her hair that had  grown out. Shaving her hair Down to a grade 2 buzzcut. The cut hair falling into the sink basin- Zachary would tidy it all later…  She'd also fix up the fine hairs on her neck- tidying the cut clean if she had time before arriving at earth.  She would also put on her favourite lipstick.. A deep sage green.

But for now- this would do.  Looking at herself in the mirror- she tried her best to smile.. Trying her best to not feel hopeless. She was trying her best. 

After Freshening up in the shower- she got dressed- back into the clothing she wore before  and  picked up her boots. 

Inspecting them as she sat on the side of her bed…  noticing how beaten and tattered the laces had become. 

She grumbled. Thinking if she’d planned her time better, she could've gotten new laces or given her boots one last polish. Feeling like she had to keep up appearances.  Even if she was going to die- and going to send her men and women to their deaths too….

She slipped on her boots, the commander struggled to tie her laces. Feeling like she had the dexterity of a dear on a frozen lake.  

As she tried again- she heard EDI speak to her over the normandy’s intercom. 

“Lieutenant Vega is requesting a meeting with you Commander, May I send him up to your quarters?” 

With a somewhat displeased grumble, Zachary replied

“Sure thing EDI…” With a sigh, “Thank you” she added quietly. Zachary continued to attempt to tie her laces. 

She swore at Vega under her breath.  She’d told everyone she wanted to be alone… 

What could be so important- what could he want?! 

–

The commander had been so focused on trying to tie her laces that she didn’t even see or hear James enter the cabin. Until he coughed so announce his presence.  Zachary looked up from her boots, with a frustrated grimmiss, she grunted in acknowledged to the lieutenant, she continued to fumble with them. Determined to get them done up.  She wasn’t going to let a pair of laces defeat her- not when she’d faced far greater enemies- like a clone of herself or an actual reaper! 

A sigh laced with defeat escaped her lips, her hands shaking. She felt overwhelmed by everything.  Letting go of the lace, Zachary slammed her hands onto the bedding she sat on, gripping the sheets and balling her fists.  Zachary scrunched her eyes shut and swore under her breath, before she composed herself as best she could and tried to tie her laces again.   

The commander was dead panned and focused on this until  James came to her and  took a hold of her hands, pulling them away.  She’d not realised how worked up she had become…   Grounding her and bringing her back into the moment,  James held Zachary’s hands for a good few moments and gave them a firm reassuring squeeze. His thumbs moving in small circles over the backs of Zachary's hands…  He then let go- then without any words, he got down on his knees and began to tie the laces of Zachary’s left boot. A subtle sign of worship and devotion.  

This fast rush of emotion running through Zachary, she looked up to the ceiling of her cabin, staring through the skylight, watching the stars pass her. A blush scattering over her cheeks,  She tried her best to not feel vulnerable in this moment of intimacy between the two.  

“I don’t need help with my laces.” She quietly protested… she felt embarrassed, for lack of a better word or emotion.  She was the sharpest shooter in the godforsaken Galaxy- she didn't need help with something as mundane and childish as tying boot laces. Her eyes travelled down to James and she watched him tie her laces.

“Well- if I didn't help you'd be trying to do them up until we got to earth! ” optimism James’s voice.  

James worked with precision, tying the laces up. He then moved to the other boot and worked with an equal amount of dedication and precision. 

Standing up, looking at Zachary, he smiled and held out his hand. He helped Zachary up, the two of them locking eyes.  The commander stood at five foot seven in her double soled boots, there was a considerable seven inch height difference between the pair.

“Dance with me?” He asked- breaking the silence. The two were still holding hands. 

Zachary tiled her head, her head foggy and confused. 

This- this is what Vega wanted?!

“Dance…. you want to dance…? As in… actually dancing , or… or do you want to brawl?” 

Zachary stretched out her arms, gesturing to how small her cabin was, it definitely wasn’t big enough for a fight

"Because I’m not sure there’s room in here for us to fight, unless we go down to engineering,,” She paused for a moment

“ or… or are you using dance as a euphemism for sex?” she asked, grinning at James. 

This comment made the lieutenant laugh, it filled the otherwise silent cabin with life. 

Zachary continued to smile… but she was still very confused on what James meant by “dance”. 

“Oh, you crack me up Zachary” 

“No! James, I’m being serious here… remember the first time you asked me to “ dance ” one on one,  we ended up brawling on the engineering deck… if you remember, I almost broke your nose with how hard I swung at you….. and the last time we agreed to dance,it ended with us thinking about and expressing the want to fool around on shore leave” she protested.    

This was true. This was so true. 

“Well” The lieutenant grinned  “yes, you have a point there.. let me try again…” James reached into the back pocket of his cargos and pulled out a small usb stick. He walked over to the commander's music player and slotted it into the usb slot.

After pressing the play button, soft, slow piano music started to play. He walked back to Zachary and took a hold of her hands, lifting her right hand, he kissed it tenderly, and watched as Zachary's cheeks flushed.  He smiled at her and watched as she smiled back.. .

“Zachary, will you dance with me one last time ?” He asked softly. 

Zachary felt the lieutenant pull her away from the bed.  Pulling her into her and holding her close.  

He held Zachary close, ran a large hand through her freshly shaved purple buzz cut, hearing her sigh with contentment as the anxiety within her gave out ever so slightly. 

The two together, not sharing words. But sharing the same space,the same moment and the same air.   They danced- slowly. Zachary had no idea what she was actually meant to be doing- she just held herself against James- resting her head over his chest- her eyes closed- just feeling and being in the moment with the one she loved. 

She rested her head on his shoulder- hands interlocking. A soft embrace. They danced under the stars and moonlight.  This moment was just for them. 

Zachary felt like she was home as they danced. Safe in the presence and embrace of the lieutenant.  Yes, the feeling of impending doom still loomed over her- but she was no longer alone….

[theviridianbunny]

✨ Sketch page of Zachary- my canon commander Shepard…. the self proclaimed sharpest shooter in the entire galaxy ~✨

[theviridianbunny]

For the sketches, can I get Viridian in a bad disguise and/or your Shepard in something embarrassing? 😍

Viridian in a bad disguise (which is basically just a giant green shawl / scarf draped over her) - I drew her in that because the first thing I thought of when I read bad disguise was this scene from Thor ragnarok (gif not mine!)

As for Zachary - I drew her in a Cerberus body suit (similar to Miriainda’s) !!!

Thank you for the prompts !!! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) prompt list can be found here (still accepting them!!!)

[theviridianbunny]

I got mass effect back up and running so y'all know what that means ?????????

Time to go straight into mass effect 3 to get as many shots of Zachary and James as possible 🥺💗

[theviridianbunny]

‘in dreams’ for whichever ship/oc inspires you! 💜

AHHHH HI HEATHER - OK for this prompt, I've decided to write a mini fic about one dream my commander shepard [my beloved Zachary] has - a dream or a hope... 🥺💕

----

Zachary dreams of life after the war. She dreams of what peace and tranquility will be like for her. She would be finally able to rest and no longer worry. She dreams of returning to earth and settling down by the sea. Living in a small house with the love of her life- maybe they'd adopt a dog...

She dreams of the summer days where she wakes early- the slow days where she runs errands at a leisurely pace- going to the local market to grab freshly caught fish, a bunch of flowers from the florist too.

She can feel the costal breeze on her skin and smell of the sea- a gentle walk home- soaking in the sunshine from under a wide rimmed sun hat. She'd wear one of James's hawaiin shirts and a pair of cargo shorts- a pair of comfy sandals.

Retuning home to James- in the kitchen cooking eggs- He presses a kiss to her cheek as she places her shopping on the kitchen counter. He makes brunch for himself and his beloved. In time- two would sit together on the porch. Enjoying sunny side up eggs and crispy streaked bacon. Flowers from the market in a simple vase- fish in the fridge to be cooked for dinner later that day...
