Summary
“Can it wait for a bit? I’m right in the middle of some calibrations.”
—Garrus Vakarian.Shepard knows code. Crack security systems? Easy. Rewire field tech mid-firefight? Child’s play. Get into places she’s absolutely not supposed to be? Please. Walk into the forward batteries and try to understand equations, trajectory models, and Newton’s Laws of what the hell Is that?
No chance.
So when she asks her sexy turian sniper vigilante boyfriend to teach her what ‘calibrating’ actually means, she expects a lecture drier than the surface of Tuchanka. What follows is… technically educational.
Mostly hands-on.
And definitely passionate.It’s a one-shot smut story that uses my own Marika Shepard. No backstory needed to read.

Themes: Awkwardness, tension, finally smut, drama. You don’t have to have read the previous stories to follow along, unless you really crave context. There’s a recap in the first chapter so you’re caught up on the most important things of ACT I.

By Starlight and Sapphire by BlueClanMarkings (UnhingedByChoice)
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy
07 Nov 2025
Summary
This is a slow burn Shakarian with lots of drama to go around. It's smutty AF and rather free in terms of sexuality. We'll have plenty of threesomes and kink exploration to keep your hungry mouths filled.
These stories uses my personal Shepard—Marika "Mika" Shepard—and we follow her at different points during her life. There's a red thread in this entire series. It's meant to be read in order for proper context, but, of course, you don't have to do that. I usually add a little top note explaining important things you should be aware of.
There are also some one-shots here and there. They're are standalones, but can be considered canon for this series. They just don't fit the main thread, so they're posted outside of the "main big stories."
Themes: Relationship-focused—romantic, friendly, and familial—morally ambiguous choices, emotional, drama-packed, angsty, AU from work 5, dialogue-heavy, with enough smut to keep you bone dry on the inside from work 6 and onwards.

Summary
The series where I explore my love for the hot turian Daddies in the Mass Effect universe. That includes Lorik Qui'in, Castis Vakarian, and Adrien Victus.
With time, I hope to include:
- Saren Arterius
- Laiel Sparatus
- Venari Pallin could be fun
- A round two of Castis Vakarian, because I absolutely love that man 🥹- Words:
