Summary
"Garrus Vakarian." She held up the straw wrapper, now hopefully large enough to fit around one of Garrus's huge fingers.
"That is, in fact, my name, Shepard. I'm glad you haven't suffered head trauma in addition to the knee injury." Despite the dry tone of his voice, there was something odd in his eyes—not the usual giddy, lunatic glee he got whenever he realized they were about to do something ridiculous together. Was he having second thoughts for once?
Oh well, no going back now. "Will you put on a terrible turian suit to match my terrible human dress uniform and do me the honor of accompanying me to a bullshit fundraising dinner?"
Garrus finally seemed to catch on—took him long enough—and let out a hoarse little laugh. "I get it now." He pressed the back of one hand to his forehead and pretended to swoon. "Oh, Commander! This is so sudden! I'm just not sure."
"Aw, Garrus, don't we always have a good time together?" She caught his free hand. She wasn't used to touching him outside of battle, with his fingers bare instead of covered in thick gauntlets. "This way we can actually sit together instead of having to try and mime ways to beg for death all night from across the room."

Summary
When the burden of leadership becomes too much to bear, Primarch Adrien Victus turns to his old friend Castis Vakarian for advice and comfort, stirring up old emotions of an adolescent crush. After the war, when victory has been declared but Victus has lost everything, the primarch invites his old battle buddy up to his office to talk.
This is a fic for people who like dialogue. It's slow, not much happens -- it's a couple of sad, tired old men finding comfort at the end of a long war.

Summary
The Krogans say that the only stories worth telling are those of love, sex, and war. Remix of the canon with OC and AU spanning ME1-3.
Featuring an original past of a ‘survivor’ female Shepard as a drala'fa ('the ignored') from Omega. A lifetime ago, Jane met a strange drell one evening that changed her life. After enlisting in the Alliance and burying her origins, Jane gained a reputation as a closed-off paragade with secrets stemming from her checkered past, now struggling with visions caused by the beacon on Eden Prime. Her affinity for aliens, and one renegade turian in particular, becomes a problem among human-centric politicians as humanity gains a foothold in the galaxy. As time and the fate of all organic life hangs in the balance, her entanglement with the drell who changed her life further complicates matters.
The story explores multiple motifs, including a deeper look at drell, a character study of Thane, a noir loss of innocence story for Garrus/Archangel, extended turian culture and history, and a close read of Liara's transformation into the Shadowbroker. Includes expanded lore, religion, and language within the Mass Effect Universe.

Summary
"Mordin is the most celebrated geneticist and doctor in the galaxy, and Miranda brought me back to life from scraps. What makes you think there's any good reason that you have to die?"
"Celebrated? Perhaps. Krogan would argue notorious," Mordin interjects. Miranda crosses her arms, looking Thane dead in the eye.
When they put it like that, it's difficult to argue.

Summary
“So we ended up at this planet by accident, right, because everybody got drunk off some damned space virus, and we were gonna crash into a different planet, but Jim made Scotty blow up the engine, so we hurtled god knows how far across the galaxy and ran into this planet with these crazy time waves coming off it, so we went down to look, and we found the donut. But then the Klingons showed up out of nowhere, beamed down, started sniffing around the donut, and then you went and gave yourself up, ya damn idiot, and then Jim, the even bigger idiot, gave himself up, and then the Klingons went for Carol—Dr. Marcus—so I started shooting, but then she fell through the, the portal, and wound up here. Sort of.”
Spock leans infinitesimally back in his chair—the Vulcan equivalent of sagging, McCoy guesses.
“It would seem that your timeline is somewhat more… eventful than mine,” he says.
McCoy groans. “That is so not what I want to hear.”
**
Or: just your average sci-fi/action/adventure/alternate-reality/time-travel/mating-cycle/space-opera/hostage-situation/character-study/surprise-political-commentary love story. With Klingons. As you do.
