Welcome to the Little & Big Things.
Before you begin, I want you to know that this is a collection of excerpts pulled
directly out from the two main books: The Fall of Normandy & End of Dawn.
-These excerpts are my personal favorites from the series and are in no particular order.
-Don't read these if you intend on reading the main story.
-Genre: Fluff/Romance/Drama/Tragedy/Humour/Friendship/NSFW
They include things like fluff, romance, heavy story elements, and friendship to name a few.
You don't want to guess what you wanna read. So I'll provide the basic summaries of each chapter here:
-Thanksgiving: (Fluff/Romance/Humour) Prepare for the fluff. Heavy focus on John and Tali on this chapter. One of my favorites.
-Virmire: (Friendship/Tragedy/Drama) More story driven. More serious. Still a heavy focus on both John and Tali and their relationship.
-An Unusual Recruit: (Drama/Minor Combat/Politics/Relationship Building) Once again, focus on Tali and John with story elements intermingled. This is when Tali first meets John.
-Chronicle of History: (Drama/Tragedy/Minor combat/Quarian politics & history/Geth uprising/Quarian focus/Relationship building) A very major focus on Tali. This chapter is long and is in the interim of John's death. Garrus and Liara make cameos, but the focus on this chapter are quarians, their history, and the mission they're on. This is definitely one of my favorites. I think you'll agree after reading this one.
-Wine Dine and you'll get the Rest: (NSFW, Romance, Sex, Friendship, Love) Total focus on Tali and Shepard and their night alone at the Mara Horizon Suites on Illium. This is shortly after Tali and John meet at Freedom's Progress. They leave to go to Illium for resupply and R&R. I think you know where this is going.
-Citadel: (Combat, Drama, Backstory) Focus on what happens after Shepard and his team leaves for Illos. Anderson is arrested for aiding and abetting fugitives (The Normandy Crew). During what appears to be the end for galactic society, Anderson comes across a quarian girl. Teaming up in the midst of chaos, they push their way to escape.
-One on One: (Drama, Relationship Building, Confrontation) A focus on Tali and her conflicting feelings as of late about death and Garrus intentionally reminding her of the reality of combat.
-It's Always Gray: (Friendship, Conversation, Mission attendance) Two of Tali's best quarian friends take a date while on the Citadel while on leave. Conversation regarding Tali's past, their current relationship, and more. Zaeed's 'The Price of Revenge' is visited with a completely new twist on the original mission in Mass Effect 2.
-Will update intro as needed when I add more.
-The Liberation of Horizon: (Combat, Military, Relationship, Drama): The Normandy SR2 launches a mission in an attempt to liberate the colony of Horizon from the clutches of Collector subjugation.
-The Liberation and Aftermath of Horizon: (Military, Relationship, Drama) A continuation of The Liberation of Horizon.
-The Old Machine: (Military, relationship, Tragedy) The Normandy heads to the derelict reaper in hopes of finding an IFF that'll carry their way through the Omega Four.
