    Summary

    “I’ll go ahead and let you get going, since it looks like you’re gonna have to explain theme parks to these two, Garrus. They seem fairly perplexed by the idea.” And with a sharp grin and a raised middle finger, she disconnects, leaving the three of them to discuss one of the joys of growing up on a densely populated homeworld: spending an afternoon riding rides and eating junk food under the watchful eye of an eerie, anthropomorphic mascot.

    The next morning, they wake up together to a chime from all of their omnitools: one day passes, courtesy of Aethyta, for the whole family.

    Summary

    The ping of his omnitool drew Garrus out of near-sleep, and with a grumble he reached blindly for the makeshift table next to his cot. The message was from Tali:
    “Shepard needs you.”
    As much as any wartime headline, those three words made his stomach flip.
    “Where?” he sent back, reaching for the light and swinging his feet down to the floor.

    Summary

    If those three slept in much longer, Wrex would have to leave without mocking them properly, and that just wouldn't do. He heaved himself to his feet and headed up the stairs to thump a fist on the closed bedroom door. "Shepard! Food!"

     

    A few groans and a lot of thumping happened inside, as if someone--or several someones--had fallen bonelessly out of bed onto the floor.

    (Post-Citadel party, Shepard/Garrus/Tali)

    Summary

    The attack must have been executed with extreme precision, because barely moments into Tali’s frantic scramble to get something, anything, back online, the outer door to Engineering slid open. She sent a frantic omni-tool command to the inner door, but knew her hasty lock encryption wouldn’t hold for long. Heart in her throat, she frantically searched the area for any kind of weapon. There was nothing laying around and for the first time in her life she cursed her tendency to keep her workspaces preternaturally neat. Before she had any more time to think of a plan, the encryption program fizzled out and the inner doors slid open. Her back was to the door and she felt frozen in place until a low, synthesized voice growled “Turn around.”

    Summary

    Bone plates scraped the inside of her wrist. Nothing about Turians was soft, except for the way his massive talon closed over the back of her hand, hesitant for fear of hurting her and then just slightly too firm in self-loathing for treating her as if she was fragile.

    Nothing soft, but transparent.

    Garrus and Tali guide Shepard through the process of recovery after the Reaper invasion.

    Along the way, they find other wounds to heal.
