Summary
Someone has the excellent idea that the way to ease tensions between C-Sec and the Spectres is to make them cooperate on a team-building retreat. It goes exactly as well as expected.
Caught in the middle of it all, poor Garrus is forced to team up with his least favourite person in the world, his father's boyfriend.

[BREAKING NEWS: Alien AI-Controlled Ship Makes Contact in Salarian Space!]
“Alarms rang throughout the system of Antilin yesterday when an alien ship bearing a strong AI signature triggered fears of a Geth attack. Renko Turwin, Director of Near-Orbital Security, explained: "When evidence of powerful AI heuristics was detected onboard, however we consulted Quarian scientific advisors who assured us that the signals failed to match any known Geth signatures."
According to Turwin, the biggest surprise came next: "The ship's intelligence then communicated with us. It asked us to calculate the value of Pi to the first quadrillion digits. Some 20 questions followed after that, all of them beyond our realm of expertise. We're currently awaiting advice from outside consultants before proceeding. As yet, the ship matches no known alien species."
A super massive vessel appears at the edge of known space, offering advanced technologies in exchange for emergency aid... but the data proves harder to retrieve than anyone could have expected. While deep in the digital world of the alien servers, a multinational tactical group gets more than they bargained for when a virus turns reality into fairy tale.

Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

Summary
"Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”
“Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”
“Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”
Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

Summary
Garrus Vakarian never believed in bonding, despite the fact that he’s seen friends and family swear by the bond. All of them Turians bonding with other Turians. Simple. Easy. Biological.. But Garrus hasn’t ever felt that spark - not until a certain human female appears on the Citadel one day to marry a Turian Spectre.
Garrus Vakarian is not that man.
But he feels magnetised towards her instantly - in ways he can’t begin to explain - and he doesn't know what the hell to do about it.
How can Garrus convince Commander Shepherd that they’re bond mates if he isn’t even sure what that means?
How do you tell someone that they were always meant to be yours?
A new inter-galactic war looms on the horizon if Shepard refuses Nihlus’s hand. What will she choose: duty or love?
FemShep x Garrus Vakarian AU. HEA guaranteed. Non-Reaper AU.

Summary
While she’s on (forced) medical leave, a certain turian crash lands in Shepard’s backyard. Instead of leaving him to bleed to death like any sane person would do, she takes him into her home and nurses him back to health.
(Because, as Vega would put it, she’s a goddamn girl scout with the self-preservation instinct of a moth near a flamethrower.)
A first contact AU where rather than immediately going to war with the turians, the first human to meet a turian instead maybe sort of falls in love with him.

Summary
A Shakarian romance that goes above & beyond (or at least before & after) what we were given in the games - including eventually into Andromeda. Some canon, some AU - the characters don't always follow the arc they were given. This is my take on my favorite romance. Enjoy!
Title inspired the theme and was inspired by the song from The Greatest Showman.
**MATURE CONTENT WARNING** See individual works for specifics.
**BioWare owns the games and the characters (minus a couple smalls OCs), I'm just reveling in the love they gave us**
