   Summary

   Garrus is trapped out in space on-board the Normandy and gravely wounded. Once Lora Shepard is released from the hospital, Castis offers to move in with her, both to help care for her, and keep her company as she comes to terms with their loss. He becomes an important parental figure to her over the years, as well as the grandfather to the children they choose to adopt together.

   Out in space, Garrus and Kaidan are working together, taking the long way home on the Normandy, and searching for a solution that will keep Garrus alive long enough to be reunited with his family.

   A canon divergence from my post-canon fic, "Come Back Alive".
