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
“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.

Summary
“The first words they say to you are tattooed somewhere on your body.” Shepard explained.
Garrus blinked, his subvocals pitching in disbelief. “That’s… so inefficient.”
“Alright, how do Turians find their soulmates?” She demanded.
“On the civilized side of the galaxy-“ she gave a rather undignified snort, “we find our bondmates through song.”
-
The Council has called for a peace summit following the disastrous First Contact War but neither side seems ready to make amends. It's up to Shepard and Garrus to bridge the gap if their fated romance has any hope of blossoming.

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.

The Inquisitor doesn't trust Bull, doesn't want to go anywhere near the Qunari, doesn't even want to contemplate an alliance. That's okay. Par Vollen will be disappointed, but it probably won't be Bull's problem.
(Or, what if Demands of the Qun doesn't happen?)
