It’s time for the holidays, and for many, that means gifts! But gifts can mean different things to different people: what makes a gift worth giving? Is it about the spirit of the gift or the value of the item?

Art: Take the theme of gifts and show us a moment related to the gift. For instance, the submission can show someone acquiring a gift, the moment of giving the gift, or even what happens after the gift is given. You can draw any scene (or comic) so long as the gift is shown in the image: but make sure the gift is identifiable. No restrictions on what the gift may be either. Is it an item, an idea, or something else? If it may be given, it is fair game – so be creative!

Fiction: Tell us a story about a gift – it can be set at any time of year although holidays preferred to keep in the spirit of the theme - and it's up to you how to incorporate the gift so long as we see how the gift impacts the characters: shopping/hunting for the gift, giving the gift, receiving the gift,  etc. Was the gift the cause of a recent problem? Do the characters need to find a "perfect gift" to give? There is also no restriction on what the gift may be so long as it's identified as a gift: it can be something as concrete as a weapon or as light as kiss. It's up to you!

Disclaimer: If you haven't played ME2 then you are in for some spoilers. PG13 content.  Bioware owns all the characters in Mass Effect.

Raine Shepard wasn't sure how long she had lain on her bed and held her father's Saint George in front of her. She had twirled the silver oval in quiet debate for quite some time, so long that her arm ached from being stretched out in front of her.She had only recently been reunited with the object that defined her family for generations.

Chapter 7 – Pieces

  "Maybe Kaidan is right, maybe I need to make the most of things while I still can," Shepard muttered under her breath, waiting for the elevator so she could return to her quarters. "No. Protocol comes first. Duty before personal engagements… that's how it has been and how it must continue."

  The elevator opened and she stepped in, slapping the button to her level. She leaned against the corner and crossed her arms, speculating,

His Warden was not doing well here. Zevran could see it in the slight slump of his shoulders as they walked. There were other clues, too. His eyes were rimmed with shadows and more and more of the contents of his plate were surreptitiously ending up in the dog's belly rather than his own. Theron was hiding it quite well, of course, but he was not fooled.

Denerim was much like the other large cities he had visited or dwelt in over the yea

Game: Dragon Age: Origins
Characters/Pairings: Alistair/F!Tabris (Slyrea), numerous characters used
Disclaimer: Spoilers abound. This is set right at the end of the game: post-Landsmeet, through the Battle of Denerim and even into the Coronation scene and beyond. Also, I do not own Dragon Age, and no copyright infringement is intended. PG13, mainly for mentions of blood and gore, and a tiny bit of romance (nothing explicit).

The hour was late, the sun hovering above the horizon though common folk were still about in the Market District: mostly merchants who were closing

NOTE: The gift does not need to be given between major characters in any BioWare game, but it *should* include recognizable characters. In the case of BioWare race OCs (such as turians or darkspawn) it is okay not to have a canon NPC character as these races are distinctively BioWare races.
