    Summary

    Garrus and Shepard never talked about what would happen between them if they survived the Collector Base. And yet here they find themselves, alive and rather unsure of how to proceed.

    Against the backdrop of the DLC content of Mass Effect 2, Garrus Vakarian and Andrea Shepard attempt to plan for a future they never thought they'd see, even while haunted by the pasts they'd tried to leave behind.

    So much stands in the way: rank, duty, family, and more than a few scars. What chance does this casual cross-species liaison have in the face of such opposition?

    (This is a sequel to "Practice," but can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    If Garrus wanted this--and it was becoming clear that he very much did--he was going to need to do that "research" he'd mentioned to Shepard.

    Or,

    Garrus attempts to come to grips with the reality that Shepard is attracted to him--and in the process, he discovers that the feeling is extremely mutual.

    Summary

    Shepard had never been great with sniper rifles, but she figured it was never too late to learn. And Garrus had been acting cold since the incident with Sidonis on the Citadel. So Shepard asked him for his help, hoping to kill two birds with one stone: he was the best sniper she knew, and a low-key round of target practice seemed an ideal way to get him talking. She hadn’t realized until now how much she relied on their easy friendship, and she was not about to let it go so easily.

    ~*~

    This fic can be read as a stand-alone, or as a prequel to my other story, Practice. This Shepard is a Colonist Sole Survivor with a maxed-out Paragon score who also loves a good Renegade interrupt.
