   Summary

   Watch as I rewrite the entire ME2 Garrus romance and also some other stuff to account for the fact that I made a set of choices in ME1 that combine to imply some very specific character flaws.

   These were written because I felt called to and are here in case someone else finds them fun. They do not make a lot of affordances for anyone else's lack of specific character context, and I think they work but you're going to have to kind of put things together.
