    Summary

    The Reapers have been defeated, but survival isn’t always easy. Garrus and Shepard have to put themselves and their lives back together, and the stakes might just be higher than ever.

    This work is not as linear as the others. The narrative jumps around a little, following events more than a specific timeline the way you’re used to from the other works. CW/TW: dark themes, dark moments, graphic description of injury, graphic description of mental illness

    Obviously, this is a bit AU, post-canon. ***You will not understand most of this/the relationships if you don’t read the previous works in the series. This is NOT a standalone.***

    Title and theme inspired by the James Morrison song (thank you, Schitt’s Creek).

    Endless gratitude goes to my betas. This never would have happened without you giving me the courage.
