Summary
Commander Shepard and Garrus Vakarian. To those around them, an inevitability. But when two people who have trusted each other so unconditionally are afraid to take things beyond friendship, sometimes the only question left to ask is why? This story is a "What if" that details how their romance might have gone if they did nothing until the end of the Reaper War.
Unrepentant fluff and romantic erotica. Had planned 2 chapters, but it ran away on its own so more are coming.
Please note: This is Shepard after the Reaper Wars. She has been through a hell no one can imagine, was physically crushed, emotionally scarred and lives with the guilt that trillions died and she could do nothing to stop it. She doesn't want to be strong anymore. She doesn't want to be Shepard anymore.
I have marked this work as Complete for the time being. I am working on my other Shepard/Garrus story, and while I am still working on the next chapter of Why, progress is slow and I am not sure when it will be finished.

What Shepard has with Garrus is just a little blowing off steam. Nothing serious, strictly casual. ... Right?

A corny how-to guide on romancing turians somehow ends up on Autumn Shepard's datapad. Is it someone's idea of a practical joke, or are they giving her just the right kind of nudge at an opportune time?

Summary
Shepard and the Normandy Crew are tasked with safely transporting a very rich human back to the Citadel. When he hits on Shepard, she lies about having a boyfriend to avoid offending him and failing her mission. The Normandy Crew isn't at all surprised that she picked Garrus for this fake relationship. In fact, no one on the ship is convinced it's fake, except Garrus and Shepard themselves.
Cue these two idiots trying to convince everyone that this is definitely fake and not at all real, and that warm, lovey feeling in their chests? Fake, too.
Or is it?

Summary
Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat. His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave.

Summary
It would have been so much easier if it was just lust, if all he wanted was to bed her, feel those gorgeous curves pressed against him, feel the softness of her lips against his own. But he just wanted… her. Everything she was, everything she did, called to him, made him long just to hold her close, or talk to her until long into the night.

Summary
“Oh.. Hello, I'm Gale of Waterdeep. Apologies, I'm usually better at this.” He grabbed Lianna’s hand and shook it excitedly.
“At introductions?”, she said, tilting her head slightly.
“At magic”, he just answered.
What he had just said made her stomach turn. She could almost taste the bile in her throat again. Magic? He could do magic? Had she just saved a godsdamned wizard from a broken portal? Dear gods. Why did it have to be a wizard?

Summary
“What do you do to keep your mind off things?” Kat speaks up. “How do you…distract yourself?”
Garrus shrugs his shoulders. “Why do you think I spend so much time calibrating?”
She lets herself chuckle at this. “Fair enough.” She pauses. “Is that all, though? I mean, what if you need a break from that?”
“I make it work.” He shifts his weight back and forth. “I won’t lie, it’s a little difficult not being on a turian ship.”
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“No, no, no, it’s not like that. It’s just—”
“Just…what?”
“Well…turians handle stress relief very differently than humans.”
She quirks an eyebrow. “Do explain.”
