Summary
“Oh no,” Garrus said. “I know that face. That’s your problem solving face. That’s your I think I can fit through this air vent and drop down behind their reinforcements face.”
“What if we do it first?”
He stared at her. “Shepard. I fear the consequences of the next four words immensely. What do you mean?”
A smile lifted the corner of her mouth. “What if we find you a mate before your dad gets here?”
“Spirits,” he said, the word half curse, half exhalation. “That’s what I was afraid you were going to say.”
-----
They survived the end of the world. They've had a few (relatively) normal years with no catastrophies. But with Garrus’ dad breathing down his neck about finally settling down, they've only got 48 hours to produce a suitable partner.
Garrus has just the girl in mind. If only she wasn't the one trying to set him up.

Summary
Maybe, just maybe, asking your ex to pretend you're still together so both of you can be the guest of a man he loathes is not a bulletproof plan. In her mind, a giant banner unfurled from the sky: you are the dumbest person ever born.
-----
Good news: Sara Ryder defeated the Archon, saved the galaxy, and (mostly) didn't die. Now she's tying up some loose ends before she hands off the Pathfinder title to her brother.
Bad news: She needs Jaal's help on her last mission. And she broke up with him last year.

Summary
A soft epilogue detailing the post-finale lives of the Tempest crew as they settle into new adventures: careers, marriages, parenthood... and occasional bouts of shenanigans.
Mostly fun and funny, with one sad chapter because SOMEONE had to deal with Primus and we all know it's not Bioware huh
Bonus feature: a disastrous shuttle ride in a post-akksul bonus chapter
[can be read as a standalone]

uneven odds // light by interventionsandlullabies
Fandom: Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect: Andromeda
19 Nov 2024
Summary
Sara Ryder has too problems and refuses to add 'acknowledging her non-friendship feelings for her closest friend, Jaal Ama Darav.'
Jaal, despite being responsible for the One Emotional Braincell on the ship, does not realize her feelings... or his.
These are the misadventures of two idiots falling in love, and the poor Tempest crew who catch on waaay before they do.
the vibe: Galaxy's Worst is an american sitcom (mostly light and fun with some dark arcs and srs business), Galaxy's Best is a comedy sketch (increasingly ridiculous and sticky-sweet), and Explain It Again is a grab-bag of character studies, Big Feelings(tm), fixing bioware's plot holes, and general silliness. enjoy!

Summary
Garrus' life after the Reaper War is different. He washes up on Omega, plays nice with Aria, and gets ready to mind his business and read some books or something. But then, inevitably, someone comes and asks for his help. And, inevitably, he tries to give it.
Exactly what Aria specifically told him not to do.

Summary
Shepard has never been one to sit around and wait for others to figure it out. She’s always preferred her own boots on the ground, no matter how many waves of husks, or Collectors, or goddamned Reapers might stand in her way. She doesn’t like this. She wouldn’t like it if any other ship was missing, and she certainly doesn’t like it now.
How could she ever trust anyone else to find the Normandy? To turn every stone? Earmark every page?
When Shepard wakes up after everything, Garrus isn't there. And with the Normandy currently missing without a trace, neither is anyone else.
Alone, injured, and stuck in a small hospital on Earth, all she can do is wait for progress to come.

Summary
Shepard has to go home for Christmas. Problem is, her father's going to be there – her racist, argumentative asshole of a father. So is it her fault if she brings along a present for herself? And if her present is seven feet tall with a sense of humor that won't quit, maybe Shepard's going to get more than snow out of this Christmas trip...
