    Summary

    Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.

    In which Shepard doesn’t want to be found, and Garrus, of course, has other ideas.

    ────
    One polished pauldron bobs. “How does the Earth idiom go? No use beating a dead—” A long-suffering sigh. “What was it again?”

    “A dead horse. And yet, you’re here. Beating it.”

    Pot, kettle. She wishes he’d just fucking say it.

    Summary

    Fresh off the shocking loss of her whole unit on Akuze, Alliance Marine Lieutenant Jane Shepard stays with her turian best friend on the Citadel, electing for a galactic treatment program instead of one on Earth.

    He just wasn’t expecting her to fit so comfortably into his life.

    Ongoing AU in which Shepard and Garrus meet long before the events of ME1.

    Summary

    Soulmarks were supposed to be simple. Instead, Dave got two aliens. Karkat and Sollux got one human. And everyone? They got more than they bargained for.

    As Earth falls and a rebellion crumbles, unlikely soulmates navigate trauma, tyranny, and the complexities of cross-species romance.

    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

    Every Alliance Naval Academy cadet has to apply for summer postings between academic years.

Cadet Jane Shepard thought the turian officer training exchange program sounded like a good opportunity for something different, but she had no idea what she was signing up for.

    AU in which Shepard and Garrus meet long before the events of ME1.
