    Summary

    Cadet Jane Shepard elects to do an exchange program with the turian officer training program during one of her summer breaks from the Alliance Naval Academy. She's partnered with Officer Candidate Garrus Vakarian, and it does not go well. He's got the prickliest attitude she's ever seen, and he clearly hates her.

    Fortunately, the hatred only lasts until they discover that humans and turians can work out their differences in some exceptionally creative ways. They also discover that a turian sniper and a wrecking ball masquerading as a human biotic make one hell of a team on the battlefield.

    A mostly canon-compliant AU in which Shepard and Vakarian become fiercely loyal friends long before Saren finds Sovereign and launches Shepard's career as a Spectre.

    Summary

    Tali'Zorah is a young girl, a small Quarian, in a vast and confusing Galaxy. Her whole life she has been taught to find one thing, work towards one thing, returning to Rannoch, returning home. She knows what she is, and where she belongs, and it is in the Walled Garden, with her people.

    And then she falls in with a human, Jane Shepard. Repulsive, strange, alien, at first like all humans, if kind. But something more is there too.

    Summary

    When Primarch Victus asks Aurora Shepard Vakarian and Garrus Vakarian to come help him with the post-war rebuilding efforts on Palaven, they don't hesitate to seize the opportunity. Shepard needs some quiet time away from the increasing demands of the Alliance so that she can properly heal and Garrus needs to settle the issue of clan rights for his bondmate with his father, the head of Clan Vakarian. But nothing with these two is ever that simple. Underneath Palaven's surface of everyday politics and orderly reconstruction, old grudges fester - grudges that will threaten not just Shepard, but everyone that she loves.
