    Summary

    Twelve years ago, Commander Shepard disappeared during the reaper invasion. She entered the Crucible and decided the fate of the entire galaxy–by sacrificing herself. She killed the reapers, heretic geth, and disabled half the Mass Effect relays on her way out.

    Twelve years ago, Garrus Vakarian told her to come back alive. Now, after retiring early back on Palaven, the galaxy continues to feel emptier and emptier without her. With a glass of turian Horosk in one hand and Black Widow in the other, he's blurring the lines between reality and wishful thinking. That is, until Liara, Kaidan, and Tali show up at his front door with a lead on Shepard.

    Wishful thinking or not, he'll fight through hell to save her, or he'll meet her at the bar in heaven trying.

    Summary

    "You’ve seen the tattered edges of the veil they’ve thrown across your eyes. You’ve found the dark corners that they can’t hide. But understand this before you enter: Once you step through these doors, there’s no going back. Once the veil has been ripped down, you can no longer return to hiding behind it.”

    -

    Shepard lives out her life on the Citadel as she struggles to make sense of a warped reality. Her understanding of the nature of the universe is upended by a message from someone named "Archangel" who promises her precious answers, if only she can evade the monster hunting her in the shadows. But how deep does the rabbit hole go?

    The Truth can be a dangerous thing.

    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.
