    Summary

    Fake engagement trope babyyyyyyyyy. Set during ME 2, Shepard and Garrus exploit a loophole in the Turian Hierarchy. It's just a technicality. They're just friends, of course.

    This started as a fluffy one-shot, but now we're going for a part fluff, part citadel DLC-style humor, part angst full story! Slight canon divergence at the beginning, which will only increase as we go on. Probably.

     

    “Actually, we can do this later,” Shepard gestured with the pad. “Want a drink?”

    He waved her off, “I should probably get back to—”

    “If you say calibrations, I’ll vent the battery.”

    “Well, I won’t say it then.”

    “Come on, don’t make me beg.” She turned around and started walking as if he’d already agreed, “have a drink with me.”

    “It’s actually been more threatening than begging.”

    “Oh, good. Then you’ll take it seriously.”

    Summary

    Isabel Shepard is on house arrest while being tried for war crimes. Kaidan Alenko is preparing to testify on her behalf. Turns out that when you love someone – and you've taken on saving the world together – it takes a lot more than escaping death, Collectors, Cerberus, Reapers, and a court martial to get them off your mind.

    Let's call this a novelization, told through the memories of two people who really, really miss each other. Canon compliant until it makes more sense not to be.

    *On Hiatus* – life got busy, so updates will be slow for a bit!

    Summary

    Rapidly running out of options, Tav signing Raphael’s contract was the only way to free herself from the tadpole and defeat the Elder Brain and save her love from his eventual ruin. She should have paid closer attention to the wording of the contract before she signed it. Now, Tav gets more than she bargained for, and the devil has come to collect.
