Jack has so much untapped storytelling potential beyond her cannon narrative. It is very nice to see fan interpretations of her that expand on the character's design.
Cannot wait to use ^^ as inspiration for my upcoming ME First contact AU!
She did this. This wasn’t a fair fight between them. She had swooped in to be the hero, get the now ex-cerberus cheerleader to safety, earn maybe a modicum of respect from the woman. Instead, she crushed her.
Jack is just 5 trauma responses in a trenchcoat. Chapter 3 posted! Chapter 4 should be next week. Been going through some stuff so thank you to everyone who's been engaging with it since!
Jack and Miranda have a little too much fun.

Miranda woke up hungover, her head fuzzy—just how much did she drink last night? She was celebrating something with friends, something important.
“The relay to Elysium came back online.” Miranda groaned, flopping back into her pillows.
Jack had been there, and she was happy. She was going home, back to Grissom and her students. The pair had drank and danced the night away, reveling in her good fortune.
“God, I went round for round against Jack.”
“That wasn’t the only thing we did,” Jack said, holding her head while gingerly turning to Miranda.
“And we are never doing that again.”
HOT - I genuinely love these two and their pent up rage that is 100% going to end in a hate fuck that will probably develop into genuine feelings. Both of them are so strong, it would be fireworks.
Okay, now I realized that one reason why I like CaitXVi so much is because it's like if Jack X Miranda from Mass Effect became an actual thing. Both ships include polar opposites: one hot-headed delinquent and one prim-and-proper enforcer-type, and both are lowkey really hot for each other.
