Summary
She was experimented on and changed into a being she hates; he was forced to deal with the pain of losing people he cares most about. Years after a night of passion, and accidentally marking each other, a traumatized Ashanti learns to accept herself and a depressed Garrus learns to let go; while connecting, not through their marks, but through their bond for each other as they work together to deal with the Genophage problem.
"A Mark is only a Mark unless you are fighting for it. There is a reason why we call it a Bondmark and not just a Mark."

Summary
He shifts beneath her. “Remember that one conversation we had about turians during high-risk operations and dealing with stress?”
“How could I forget? I never would’ve gotten you into bed with me if not for that conversation.”
He gives her ass a light, playful squeeze at that. “Either way, I can only imagine the amount of stress the Primarch is currently under.”
“And…?”
“And I was going to suggest maybe letting him…join us.”
She pushes herself up a bit. “Excuse me?”

AKA, shep and garrus decide to invite victus to join them for some...much-needed stress relief and they definitely enjoy themselves (multiple times)

By Starlight and Sapphire by BlueClanMarkings (UnhingedByChoice)
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
19 Oct 2025
Summary
This is a slow burn Shakarian with lots of drama to go around. It's smutty AF and rather free in terms of sexuality. We'll have plenty of threesomes and kink exploration to keep your hungry mouths filled.
These stories uses my personal Shepard—Marika "Mika" Shepard—and we follow her at different points during her life. There's a red thread in this entire series. It's meant to be read in order for proper context, but, of course, you don't have to do that. I usually add a little top note explaining important things you should be aware of.
There are also some one-shots here and there that are standalones—but can be considered canon anyway. They just don't fit the main thread, so therefore they're posted outside of the "main story."
Themes: Relationship-focused—romantic, friendly, and familial—morally ambiguous choices, emotional, drama-packed, angsty, AU from work 5, dialogue-heavy, with enough smut to keep you bone dry on the inside from work 6 and onwards.

Summary
“Are you really okay?” And he was used to Garrus’ voice, the tone, the timbre, but somehow it sounded even deeper, lower, than usual; he could almost feel it reverberate in his chest.
“I’m…” He faltered, breath hitching in his throat and eyes involuntarily shooting back to that mouth. “I’m good.”
And suddenly, warmth. All over his body. Garrus’ body, on his.

In which Garrus comes to comfort Shepard but it turns into entirely something else...

Summary
It was never particularly hard to rile Garrus up.
Turians were, after all, a particularly territorial species.
And Shepard had to admit:
She loved it when Garrus restaked his claim on his property.

Summary
Shepard loves it when Garrus gets like this. When he talks and he doesn’t let her think. He always knows exactly what you say. Of course, the first time he tried dirty talking with her, he somehow managed to still be incredibly sweet about it. So very Garrus. He was almost embarrassed when she explained to him afterwards that dirty talk is supposed to be just that: pure filth. And the first time he made it just that, he also made her cum without even touching her.

Sans objections from the good commander.

Summary
“Did I say you could touch yourself?” he asks.
She swallows hard. “No.”
“Then why were you about to?”
“I—”
“Get up. Sit on the bed. Hands under your thighs.” She gets to her feet. Moves back to the bed. Sits on the edge with her hand between her thighs and the mattress. Garrus steps over to her again. Cups her face, tracing her cheekbones with his thumbs. “Are you going to be good?” She nods her head. “Verbal answer, sweetheart.”
“Yes.”
He hums with dual tones. “We’ll see about that.”

Summary
When Shepard moves into the Vakarian estate on Palaven with her fiancé, Garrus, she expects a quiet family life, tradition, and the occasional turian dinner etiquette crisis.
She does not expect the subtle glances from her father in-law. Or the tension. Or the heat. Or the way her body betrays her every time Castis Vakarian is near.
Now they're watching a movie. Caught between loyalty and lust, Shepard fights the slow burn...

Turning Tables (Jack/femShep) by psychoadept
Fandom: Mass Effect (Comics), Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
07 Jul 2025
Summary
Jack/femShep slight AU (later Jack/femShep/Samantha). It started with the question of how Shepard deals with all the pressure she's under and went from there. The title fic sets it up, the rest is weaving it into the storyline after that.

Summary
She does end up dragging Victus to her private quarters. The moment the door slides shut behind them, she realises it’s the first time he’s been up here. It’s the first time they’ve had actual privacy.
It feels too real.
“I think Garrus is mad at me,” she starts before he can touch her.
“For what?”
A pause. “I think Garrus is mad at…us.”
“Ah. I see.” He hums, thinking. “Since we’re talking about him, I must admit that I was surprised when you first approached me. With the way Garrus would speak about you on Menae, I was sure you two were something of an…item.”
~~~~
AKA, shep and victus start fucking while he's aboard the normandy and shep is too oblivious to pick up on the fact that garrus is jealous, but victus quickly solves that problem when garrus accidentally stumbles upon them during one of their ruts
