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.

Summary
The second part of this story takes place during the actual game. Noct and Prompto, fresh from their breakup, embark on the journey that His Majesty had charged them with alongside Ignis and Gladiolus. Only two days into their journey, they learn of Insomnia's defeat and the death of the King. The Brotherhood must work together to set Lucis back to rights through their conflicted emotions.
The story is full of Noct and Prompto trying to move on without really getting ahead. I tried to stay as canon compliant as possible, with a few slip ups from events that occurred in part one. Must read part one prior to this bit.Series

Summary
From moment to moment Jane felt their relationship shifting, at one they were best friends and the next something more. It reminded her of those old toys with a bird on one side and its enclosure the other and if you spun it quick enough the two images blurred and merged. As she and Garrus spun on the dance floor, their relationship, in all its aspects, blurred until there was no distinction between the edges of one thing and the other, it was just her and Garrus, together.

Summary
Jane and Garrus have been partners for three years, and are labeled Homicide's best team, which gets them the worst cases. They'll find that their friendship isn't just laughter and late nights watching vids — it's finding someone who will hold your hand through the darkest of times.
This is the story of two very smart detectives acting foolish as they slowly fall in love.

Summary
Part 2 of the Across the Stars Series:
Two years ago Commander Leila Shepard died. Now she must grapple with the shock of not only remembering her death, but suddenly being thrust into yet another urgent mission to save the galaxy.
Garrus Vakarian, having spent the years coming to terms with the loss of his best friend, now faces a renewed wave of grief as she unexpectedly reenters his life. Seeing her again throws his already crumbling life into disarray as feelings he had attempted to tamp down are brought to the surface.
Despite their individual struggles, Garrus and Shepard are forced to rely on each other to survive. And if they’re going up against insurmountable odds, they might as well face them side by side.
———
Story extends through the events of Mass Effect 2 and six months beyond. Heavily focused on all the little moments in between missions. Mostly canon compliant (until it’s not), but with extra feelings. This story will NOT always follow the canon order of events.

Summary
Garrus pauses when he enters the living room from above, one hand resting lightly on the rail. Shepard doesn’t turn to look, too deep in thought, eyes fixed on some point in the distance in the glow of the strip.
“Sorry to startle you,” he says softly when she turns.
She pauses.
“You didn’t.” It’s true. It means something, he knows. He doesn’t have a word for it yet.———
“The devil’s in the details, but you’ve got a friend in me
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?”
(Taylor Swift) -
Summary
"Think about it. Primarch Vakarian, honored war hero? Somebody's gonna have to rebuild Palaven when this is over."
"Your confidence is inspiring, but it'll have to be someone who knows how to hold a hammer."
Cora Shepard & Garrus Vakarian, for better or worse.
