    This is the story of each of her previous companions from her life in Kirkwall learning of her fate.

    Summary

    Many died during the Reaper War, many lost everything, their homes, their family, their loves. Those who lived had to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. We know of the Normandy and the heroes aboard the mighty ship. This is not their story. This is a story of a soldier, no acclaims to honor his name, no great tales spoken of his heroism. He fought for earth, for his family, for his love. This is his story, his journey and his recovery from the events witnessed and experienced.

    It begins Post Reaper War, referencing his experiences through flashbacks, journal entries, dreams and third person narrative.

    Summary

    Your name is Garrus Vakarian, and you’re starting to wonder if the vid playing in front of you is true.
    It has been exactly eight thousand seven hundred and sixty five hours since you last saw the Citadel at least somewhat in tact.
    That would make it around eight thousand seven hundred and sixty six hours since you last saw her.

    Post ME3, Garrus/Fem!Shep (Renegade, Ruthless, Earthborn, Sentinel) Based on what happens after the "Destroy Reapers" ending if Shepard lives. Rating could change later.
