Ash the burnt roses left

For Commander Jane Shepard life is fairly straightforward. Get up. Save the World. Don't let the people you love die. Only, sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to, and sometimes even the toughest of heroes just has enough. Picking up from the betrayal of Udina in ME3, this story embellishes and enriches the game arc. Shepard/Liara with postAshley for good measure.
