Summary
What if Commander Shepard and Garrus Vakarian find each other and marry before the events of the games take place? How will it alter their futures, Shepard's decisions, and the battle against the Reapers?
This is a rewrite of my first fanfic, Juxtaposed, and the beginning of an all new Parable story. Expect similarities, but also see how some things change.

Summary
Turians do not lie; they ignore, deflect, obfuscate, but they do not lie.
“Keeping my skills sharp, just a little target practice,” he drawled. Spirits, but was it supposed to come back so easily and so quickly? He could feel himself slip back into the mindset of being her team-mate. Joking, watching each other’s back. Admiring her from afar.
Too much stims, definitely.

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
When Shepard wakes after the Crucible's blast, she’s a shadow of the Commander who saved the galaxy. Her body is broken. Her past is blurred. The people who love her most are strangers to her heart.
But Garrus and Kaidan have never been the type to give up, and neither have the Normandy crew that once followed her through hell and back. As the galaxy rebuilds, so too does something softer: trust, belonging, and the quiet possibility of love reborn.
“Lazarus ReRising” is about more than Shepard’s survival; it’s about what she chooses to do with the life she never expected to have.

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.
