Summary

Now, 28-year-old Shepard is helping to lead the crew, and a job with a huge payday comes their way. Millions of credits and practically served to them on a silver platter, it's just too good to pass up. Plus, Eden Prime is a backwoods paradise colony. What could go wrong?

Summary
Garrus knew Commander Shepard's reputation: a survivor, a paragon, a hero, a legend. The way the humans talked about her, she could have been a god. But when Garrus looked into the eyes of his alien commander, he saw someone else, someone more than her reputation, more than the weight of her destiny. He couldn't lift that weight from her shoulders, but he could help her carry it. Always.
These are the moments that Garrus and Shepard might have had if they'd been just a little bolder a little sooner. Romance takes off in ME1 and changes everything. A bit funny, a bit sad, a bit sexy, often fluffy, always mushy. An explicit chapter here and there, but this fic is more focused on emotional intensity than physical intensity.
