    Summary

    AU. First Contact War. The galaxy where Shepard never enlists, and Vakarian remains a faithful Hierarchy officer.

    "In the quiet moments between battles, he would catch himself going into those forbidden if-onlys. If only they hadn't been on opposite sides of a conflict that seemed to grow more insurmountable with each passing year. If only he could forget the feel of her skin, the sound of her laughter, the way her eyes would light up when she spoke about her blue skies.
    But he couldn't forget, just as he could never see her again. He had no choice but to press on, because that's what a good turian would do. And he clung to the hope that somehow, someday, he might find his way back to that turian…"

    Summary

    Garrus Vakarian was not the type of man to get jealous.

    One would assume so, given both his insecurities and the general stance within turian culture - but his trust in Shepard was absolute. He knew her better than the back of his own hand, and he never had to doubt her word. He couldn’t even imagine it. Being her partner in both the battlefield and private was a dream come true, even if he had a shoddy grasp of romance at best.

    That being said, some thoughts still kept him up at night, like all the things that made him a horrible fit for Shepard - frankly, he just couldn’t help but wonder when whatever magic that made her choose him would shatter and Shepard finally came to her senses. He wouldn't blame her.

    Summary

    “The first words they say to you are tattooed somewhere on your body.” Shepard explained.

    Garrus blinked, his subvocals pitching in disbelief. “That’s… so inefficient.”

    “Alright, how do Turians find their soulmates?” She demanded.

    “On the civilized side of the galaxy-“ she gave a rather undignified snort, “we find our bondmates through song.”

    -

    The Council has called for a peace summit following the disastrous First Contact War but neither side seems ready to make amends. It's up to Shepard and Garrus to bridge the gap if their fated romance has any hope of blossoming.

    Summary

    Shepard doesn’t remember. But Garrus does.

    It was easier when bad things could be solved with a well-placed bullet.

    ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅

    It’s 6 months after the Reapers were turned into cosmic dust, when the namesake of Shepard Memorial Hospital wakes up in one of its rooms.

    Except it’s not just the 6 months she’s missing.

    It’s 5 years. Or everything, if you asked Garrus.

    And when everything is on the line once again, he refuses to lose her for the third time.
