Summary

Miranda and the Illusive Man insisted time and time again that this body was all but identical to the one that had been spaced over Alchera. After spending billions of credits to resurrect her, it would be logical to think they were correct, right? They’d taken two years to bring her back and claimed to have spent thousands of hours rebuilding her. In fact, the Illusive Man and Miranda basically took every opportunity to mention that they’d been painstakingly precise to bring the exact Commander Shepard that died in Alchera’s atmosphere.

They’re lying. They’re lying. They’re lying. The thought was a ceaseless incantation in the back of her mind, raising the fine hairs on the back of her neck.

Summary

Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”

“A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”

The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”

They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”

“Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”

“Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”

Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.

“That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

Ilya should have known better.

Summary

“I can come back.”

“No, I want you to stay.”

Garrus moves to meet her halfway, standing at the foot of her bed while she blinks sleep out of her eyes. Still clad in his armor and her in little more than her pajamas she suddenly looks so small in comparison, and he can’t help but feel overdressed.

“I have something for you.” Her voice is softer now, losing its last vestiges of sleep. In the low light her hair looks darker, and he reaches up to brush some away from her chin. For a fleeting moment she leans into his touch, eyelashes casting longer shadows as she lowers her gaze, tracks it across his torso and then up to his cowl for any new signs of wear and tear she didn’t spot a few hours ago.
in a bit of a roundabout way, shepard asks garrus to move in.
