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
Dozens of cycles past, the reapers wiped out the volsparrans. Like all sentient species to fall beneath their tyranny, all traces of their race were eradicated from the galaxy, their cities buried and their bodies burned.
But one being remembered, and endeavored to preserve them until the end of time.
A romantic and tragic look at a possible origin for the thorian.
