Summary
Part 2 of the Across the Stars Series:
Two years ago Commander Leila Shepard died. Now she must grapple with the shock of not only remembering her death, but suddenly being thrust into yet another urgent mission to save the galaxy.
Garrus Vakarian, having spent the years coming to terms with the loss of his best friend, now faces a renewed wave of grief as she unexpectedly reenters his life. Seeing her again throws his already crumbling life into disarray as feelings he had attempted to tamp down are brought to the surface.
Despite their individual struggles, Garrus and Shepard are forced to rely on each other to survive. And if they’re going up against insurmountable odds, they might as well face them side by side.
———
Story extends through the events of Mass Effect 2 and six months beyond. Heavily focused on all the little moments in between missions. Mostly canon compliant (until it’s not), but with extra feelings. This story will NOT always follow the canon order of events.

Summary
The Reapers have been defeated, Commander Joel Shepard is in a coma, and Garrus Vakarian is still trying to do the right thing for those around him. When he meets a red-haired human who just so happens to share a last name with his best friend, Garrus takes it upon himself to make her feel welcome among the Normandy crew. As the two spend more time together, though, the lines begin to blur. Are they friends? Or is what Garrus is beginning to feel for Jane something more?

Summary
Three months after leaving the Citadel, Garrus is caught between needing to feel something, and being afraid to feel anything at all.

And on the nights when that's not enough to ease the ache, he goes to Afterlife to drink away the pain of remembering.
...
A dark take on Garrus' early days as Archangel before he meets his team and learns to accept his new life on Omega.

Snippets of Mass Effect 1 from Garrus’ point of view. Heavily focused on all the little moments we never got to see in between missions. Mostly canon compliant, but with extra feelings.

Summary
In the midst of a blizzard, a young huntress is rescued by the Guardian of the mountain. She burns with purpose, on a quest to find answers about who she really is and why she was given the power of fire.
He spends his days alone with only the spirits to keep him company, destined to guard the mountain that he now calls home from anyone who dares to threaten it. Some days he hears a name spoken on the breeze. A warning, or maybe a promise of something or someone to come.

Summary
Garrus' thoughts and feelings regarding Commander John Shepard were easy to understand and explain: He respected and admired the human Spectre and would follow him into hell in a heartbeat. His feelings regarding his crewmate and friend, Lieutenant Jane Shepard, however, weren't as clear cut. She'd taken up residence in his head and wouldn't leave.
