Summary
“Oh no,” Garrus said. “I know that face. That’s your problem solving face. That’s your I think I can fit through this air vent and drop down behind their reinforcements face.”
“What if we do it first?”
He stared at her. “Shepard. I fear the consequences of the next four words immensely. What do you mean?”
A smile lifted the corner of her mouth. “What if we find you a mate before your dad gets here?”
“Spirits,” he said, the word half curse, half exhalation. “That’s what I was afraid you were going to say.”
-----
They survived the end of the world. They've had a few (relatively) normal years with no catastrophies. But with Garrus’ dad breathing down his neck about finally settling down, they've only got 48 hours to produce a suitable partner.
Garrus has just the girl in mind. If only she wasn't the one trying to set him up.

Summary
Twelve years ago, Commander Shepard disappeared during the reaper invasion. She entered the Crucible and decided the fate of the entire galaxy–by sacrificing herself. She killed the reapers, heretic geth, and disabled half the Mass Effect relays on her way out.
Twelve years ago, Garrus Vakarian told her to come back alive. Now, after retiring early back on Palaven, the galaxy continues to feel emptier and emptier without her. With a glass of turian Horosk in one hand and Black Widow in the other, he's blurring the lines between reality and wishful thinking. That is, until Liara, Kaidan, and Tali show up at his front door with a lead on Shepard.
Wishful thinking or not, he'll fight through hell to save her, or he'll meet her at the bar in heaven trying.

Summary
She's the Alliance's best spy and secret weapon. He's the one of the Council's newest Spectres and ex-Blackwatch operative. And if they don't manage to cause the next intergalactic incident from this assignment, they should both be showered in accolades from the Council.
But intergalactic cooperation is never that simple, is it?
Steamy, poignant, and full of action, this fic explores the darker and more complex version of female Shepard in a spy AU, and the space boyfriend we all know and love.
This is my first fic, but I've been dreaming of a spy thriller in the Mass Effect world for SO long. Can't wait to share this version of our reluctant, redheaded hero with you <3 .

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.

Summary
Shepard had made it through the war, and somehow found herself alive in the end, but what she’d had to do to make it through… It’d changed her. Eager to start a new life, desperate to make a positive impact on a more personal, less galactic level, Shepard adopted two children. Her life is starting to come together, but eventually she’ll have to deal with the scars she let fester for too long, and the friendship and love that she’d sacrificed along the way.

Summary
Four years after the Reaper War, and the galaxy is slowly, but finally, healing her wounds. Most of the debris is cleared out, and the mass relays are repaired, facilitating travel around the galaxy once more. Garrus Vakarian has become a Spectre, and while he still thinks that Commander Shepard is alive out there, somewhere, it’s getting harder to believe with each passing year. But the galaxy seems to love to make fun of him in thirds: on his third visit to Earth, he discovers Shepard’s third life. As part of a newly-founded arms manufacturing company, suspected of having ties to a major Earth crime syndicate.
He’s never been good with gray.
Four years after firing off the Crucible, Shepard is right back where she started: one of the gangs of her youth. She’s never liked feeling alone and powerless, and when she woke up after a months-long coma in those exact circumstances, well, she went right back to the one familiar thing she had left. Except now it’s become the biggest crime syndicate in the United North American States after the war. And now she wants out.
But when it comes to Shepard, it seems like the universe loves to make things harder than necessary.

"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
Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.
In which Shepard doesn’t want to be found, and Garrus, of course, has other ideas.
────
One polished pauldron bobs. “How does the Earth idiom go? No use beating a dead—” A long-suffering sigh. “What was it again?”“A dead horse. And yet, you’re here. Beating it.”
Pot, kettle. She wishes he’d just fucking say it.
