Summary
“Bruce was being dragged away from his training. Well, as much as researching fighting techniques and hiring personal trainers could count as training, but he’s still only seventeen years old.
If Bruce is being forced away from home for a grueling ten weeks, he might as well do some investigating while he’s at it.”
Or, the summer Bruce Wayne went to Smallville (and it ended up being the best thing to ever happen to him).

Summary
Garrus Vakarian was not the type of man to get jealous.
One would assume so, given both his insecurities and the general stance within turian culture - but his trust in Shepard was absolute. He knew her better than the back of his own hand, and he never had to doubt her word. He couldn’t even imagine it. Being her partner in both the battlefield and private was a dream come true, even if he had a shoddy grasp of romance at best.
That being said, some thoughts still kept him up at night, like all the things that made him a horrible fit for Shepard - frankly, he just couldn’t help but wonder when whatever magic that made her choose him would shatter and Shepard finally came to her senses. He wouldn't blame her.
