Summary
When recently demoted detective Garrus Vakarian moves into his new apartment on the Citadel, the last thing he expects is an intruder.
A stray, to be exact.
Mysterious, aloof, and more than a little bedraggled, his neighbor Shepard keeps odd hours and the rest of the world at arm's length. Thanks to her troublemaking cat, however, avoiding Garrus proves harder than she'd like.
But earning the trust of a stray—human or otherwise—has never been easy. There’s more to Shepard than she lets on, and the closer Garrus gets, the more he sees that beneath her battle scars lies a grief she's spent years trying to bury. A feeling he can understand all too well.
A Shakarian AU about a disillusioned man, a mischievous cat, and the quietly guarded woman who becomes attached to them both.
