The Road Less Traveled by speshulduck
Fandom Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
21 Jun 2026
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.

A Wound Shaped Like Fate by TraumaAndTaverns
Fandom Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
21 Jul 2026
Summary
The bond was never meant for them.
Not a human survivor and a turian soldier. Not enemies. Not captor and captive. Not two people born on opposite sides of a war that had already taken too much.
But ancient things do not always ask permission before they wake.
When Jane Shepard is captured by turian forces, she expects to become another casualty of a galaxy that has already decided what humans are worth. When Garrus Vakarian sees the mark appear on his skin, everything he believes about duty, law, instinct, and loyalty begins to fracture.
Their bond becomes evidence. Scandal. Precedent. Threat.
And somewhere inside all of that pain, something dangerously close to choice begins to grow.
A story about weaponized soulmates, political fallout, impossible love, trauma, survival, and two people trying to name themselves in a galaxy determined to do it for them.
